No final act for Granderson
The Dodgers finalized their World Series roster with one big surprise. Brandon McCarthy was added along with Corey Seager, with Curtis Granderson and Kyle Farmer being left off. I understand Farmer getting let go instead of Culberson. With Barnes now the starting catcher they didn’t need the flexibility that Barnes added when he wasn’t starting. …
I can’t pull the trigger
Anyone who knows me knows this story. At the age of fifteen, my mom let me cut school and stand in line for world series tickets for 1974. Back then the tickets were sold through outlets called ticketron and the local Sears in Glendale was our ticketron outlet. My mom dropped me off early in …

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 …
