A.J. Ellis looking to score today
It has been twenty days since we last took a look at the amazing A.J. Ellis scoreless streak, and sadly Ellis has still yet to score a run moving up from 7th to 5th on the all time LAD leaderboard for at-bats without scoring a run. You could blame his teammates but the truth is that …
Dodger offense destroys childhood dreams
Dodger offense did good work facing two of the better teams in the NL. Both teams had to send a pitcher to the mound for their major league debut, always an exciting assignment for fans of both teams. Contrary to the often stated belief that they struggle against those types of pitchers, the Dodger offense …

Battle for POTW taking place in Saint Louis this weekend
However, the participants are not who you would expect.

The doghouse boys, Grandal, Kendrick, and Turner dominate NL July offensive leaderboards
On July 20th, the Dodgers offensive charge is being led by three players who were in the Dodger fans doghouse back in May. Everyone wanted to trade Grandal for LuCroy, Turner for anyone who could play 3rd base, and the choice to play Howie in LF was being lambasted by a certain blogger (me). Sometimes …
