How does Andre Ethier figure historically?
As expected the Dodgers bought out Andre Ethier today making him a free agent. That doesn’t mean he won’t return to the Dodgers but given the crowded left field situation, it would seem doubtful. Now that the Ethier era has ended, how does he figure historically? How about the metrics like OPS+? 22nd in OPS+ …
Cliff Corcoran looks at the Dodgers future
Sports on earth columnist Cliff Corcoran takes a look at the Dodger future and likes what he sees. Six of the eight regulars in the Dodgers’ Game 7 lineup will be 27 or younger next year, and only corner outfielders Yasiel Puig (27 next year), who will be in the final year of his seven-year …
1966 World Series Highlights
I never saw the 1966 World Series, I only listened to it on the radio and being only seven years old didn’t quite know what was going on. I knew my brothers were mad at Willie Davis but didn’t know why. I just knew the Dodgers were swept by the Orioles. Later I would find …
Yu Darvish should call Livan Hernandez
I was just curious just how historically bad Yu was in this World. Not as bad as I thought but pretty bad. I looked at every World Series game in the 21st century with a game score less than or equal to 30. Looking at this list my first thought is that given we are …
Dodger free agent musings
The Dodgers have six free agents this year. I would be comfortable with none of them returning. Since I can’t speak for the Dodger front office I can only say what I think I’d do. Chase Utley – his postseason failures the past two years have negatively impacted the opinion of his solid regular seasons. …
Game Seven thoughts
If that is the last hit by Andre Ethier as a Dodger (and it should be) that is about as cool a way to go out as you could envision Every fan had to be frustrated that of the three possible starters for game seven the one that was chosen shit the bed, while the …
Game seven disappointments
These don’t have anything to do with the game. You can read that in over twenty other Dodger blogs, this has to do with how Dodger Stadium prepared for game seven. For a game seven, I expected more hoopla than opening day. Didn’t happen. As I was walking onto the stadium grounds I eyed the …
Yu Darvish just Dave Goltz’d the fans
Watching the game unfold last night I was struck with a little bit of deja vu. It was kind of eery how game seven mirrored the last time I had sat at Dodger Stadium in a must-win game against the Houston Astros. It was Oct 6th, 1980 and the Dodgers had just swept the Houston Astros …
You think you were loud last night?
Dodger fans don’t have anything on the 1980 fans who by now are probably sucking on oxygen in a nursing home or annoying their family members because they refuse to die. Josh Wilker over at Cardboard Gods just did a write up on Joe Ferguson and mentions the 1974 World Series throw which is a classic. …

[Update 11/01/2017] Tickets dropped to 1,000 this morning so I”M GOING TO GAME 7 Since Dodger Stadium has never hosted a game seven before it is no surprise that the price of a ticket has a bottom price of $1500 on seatgeek. Game Six tickets dropped all the way to $400 as I think everyone …
