Fab Five Dodgers
This is two days too late to properly asses how much Yasiel Puig was beloved by Dodger fans but it is something I wanted to do this week. Back in February of 2010 Michael White wrote for TrueBlueLA and did a fab five edition in which each of the regulars or even the semi-regulars commentators …
From 16 – 26 to Fenway
Many fans panicked back in May when the Dodgers were 16 – 26 and things looked bleak. I didn’t because I don’t understand the point of panic, of losing hope, of giving up. These aren’t just empty words as I bask in the Dodgers headed back to the World Series, I write these ideas down …
Stripling / Muncy dominate “first-half” awards
It is strange to call something the first half when ninety-six games have already been played and only sixty-six games remain in the “second half” but that is what MLB has decided is our season. With that in mind, the Dodgers needed all ninety plus games in the first half to climb into first place …

That trade bolstered the Nationals bullpen but did not help them get past the Cubs in the 2017 NLDS though Doolittle and Madson did their part by limiting the …
Is this the year of breaking bad for the Dodgers?
The Dodgers have won five straight division titles and the only thing probably keeping them from winning six in a row is going to be team health. That health was tested tonight when Justin Turner took a fastball off the wrist and suffered a non-displaced fracture. If you are wondering how long he is going to …
Are the Dodgers in decline?
Craig Minami in the TrueBlueLA comments asked this question. Is this a team on the rise, a team at the pinnacle or a team that be in some small decline? I started to answer but realized why I stopped posting lengthy comments at truebluela. By tomorrow, they will be gone, so I thought I’d answer …
Puig can’t catch this gold glove
The best chance the Dodgers had for a gold glove this year was Yasiel Puig but he faced stiff competition in Jason Heyward, and it was Heyward who came up with the gold. It is easy to complain since we all saw Puig have an outstanding defensive season in right field. For my eyes, it …
