Kershaw finally reaches the biggest stage
It took Clayton Kershaw seventeen postseason starts to finally make it to the World Series and as he has done for most of his Dodger career, he will take the ball in game one. Clayton has the advantage tonight given the game is at home, he’s facing a team who has rarely seen his stuff, …
Updated LAD World Series Home runs
Over the next week the Dodgers are sure to hit some important home runs. Below is a list of every LAD World Series home run. Some more memorable than others. 2017 Already: Joc Pederson hits his second World Series home run to give the Dodgers a 3 – 1 lead in game six. They ultimately …
36 years ago the Dodgers last played on Oct 24th
and it was one of the greatest World Series games in LAD history. The Yankees held a two games to one lead headed into the 4th game and they had knocked out the Dodger starter Bob Welch in the first inning. Welch only faced four batters giving up a triple, double, walk, and single before being …
2017 NLCS Thoughts
Easier than most expected the Dodgers advanced to the World Series. The NLCS had some big moments that will forever be part of Dodger lore. No earth-shattering thoughts here, just thought I’d jot them down. The Dodgers won both games that Kershaw started by a combined score of 16 – 3. Rich Hill, Yu Darvish, …
Updated NLCS Home Run list
Ha ha, quite an update this time. With Kiké doing something no LAD has ever done by going deep three times. My two favorite parts of the three home run game by Kiké was that he hit the three home runs off of three different pitchers. He hit the grand slam off of Hector Rondon …
LAD Team HR leaders, 25 or younger
With Cody Bellinger leading the Dodgers in home runs at age 21, the Dodgers have now had thirteen players twenty-five or younger to lead the team in home runs. Bellinger could make this list four more times. Let that sink in. Bellinger not only ended up with more home runs than Mike Piazza, he did …

Culberson shakes up the postseason
Hard to believe that it was just over a week ago that Dodger fans learned that Corey Seager had hurt his back and would not be on the NLCS roster. Charlie Culberson was added in his place but I have to admit I didn’t think Charlie would be starting. I’m a big Culberson fan, have …
Congratulations to fellow TBLA/DT alumni
For years I’ve been able to mock the younger generation of Dodger fans on Dodger blogs by telling them how great 1981 and 1988 were. I don’t know if over the next two weeks if they will get the joy of 81 and 88 or the despair of 74,77, and 78. I’m expecting joy for …
What a long strange trip it has been
The last time the Dodgers went to the World Series: The Dodgers had just completed one of the greatest NLCS in history and shocked the Mets. I could call my father any time and talk about any sport. Especially the Dodgers I was courting a girl from work by taking her to Dodgers games I …
