Top LA Dodger postseason game scores – Don Drysdale stands above Sandy’s shadow
Several weeks ago we looked at the top postseason pitching game scores against the Cardinals. I had hoped that the Dodgers would make a long run this postseason, and that when I posted the update it would have some new names on the list. Alas, that did not happen. With the 2014 season over we …
Ballmer Time
Last night the Clippers hosted a season ticket holder party at Universal Studios from 07:00PM to midnight. It was kind of awesome, the park was closed to everyone but the season ticket holders. All the rides were running, the shows were closed down. I’d guess the typical wait for a ride would be 50 minutes …
Still in disbelief
Among all the failings I imagined the Dodgers having this postseason I never ever imagined that Clayton would not put the team on his shoulders. It was the only way this team had a shot. I’m not upset that the Dodgers lost. I can still feel euphoria when they win, but when they lose I …
Division series mayhem abounds aplenty leaving fans from Washington to Los Angeles in the dust
What a crazy set of major league Division series baseball fans were subjected to in the past week. Heck the play in game was just as crazy. Cy Young award winners Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander, and David Price all lost. Zach Grienke won. The 2007 NL CY Young Jake Peavy won. At his …
How many Matt’s can Dodger fans hate in a lifetime?
Sadly, we are updating the NLDS Matt carnage show. Strangely enough when I created this post this morning, I had totally forgotten the lore of 2008/2009 Matt Stairs, and it is a tad freaky how similar Matt Adams is to Matt Stairs. Game One: With two out in the 6th inning, Clayton Kershaw had given …
NLDS – All Matt all the time
I don’t want to focus on the Dodgers being down two games to one as they approach an elimination game today. Instead I’m fascinated about how the Matt’s have dominated this series. Game One: With two out in the 6th inning, Clayton Kershaw had given up one hit, a home run. Matt Carpenter hit what …
Time for a Dodger / Giant postseason matchup
I’ll be gone for a few days, I hope by the time I come back that the Dodgers will have already vanquished the Cardinals, and that Bumgarner made sure the National/Giant series goes at least four games. Since early June, I’ve been baying about a possible Dodger / Giant postseason series. Most of my Dodger …
Edinson Volquez and his 1.08 Sept ERA takes the hill among a plethora of skeptics
Last winter the Pirates did not pursue AJ Burnett whose last start of the 2013 season was a vivid reminder of what 2014 might be if they choose that path once again. Instead the Pirates picked up reclamation project Edinson Volquez who quietly had his best year since his 24-year-old rookie season. AJ Burnett was …
Top Dodger pitching game scores in postseason play against Cardinals – Jose Lima still on top
Jose Lima holds a special place for most Dodger fans. His inexplicable shutout of the Cardinals in game three of the 2004 NLDS was as unlikely an event as has ever happened in the postseason at the Ravine. Wow, three of the top five game scores performances against the Cardinals in the postseason happened last …
