So the Dodgers blew it. Again. How many years does this make? And all we have to show for it is that 2020 World Series that, when I look back on it, really wasn’t the same thing as winning it all after a normal season. Yeah, I’ll still say that winning in 2020 was a … Continue reading The Dodgers Choke

NLCS Game 6
Well…that sucked. Big time. I know that the Dodgers haven’t won the World Series except once in the years since I started following the team, but that’s what you hope for your team at the beginning of every season. And, with the Dodgers this year, there was plenty of reason to hope. They won it … Continue reading NLCS Game 6
The Braves Walk Off. Twice.
What do the Dodgers think they’re doing – besides trying to lose the NLCS? Losing Saturday’s game was okay, I reckon. If you’re gonna lose a game in a series, the first one is the best one to lose, although that gives the other team the momentum coming into the second game, which then becomes … Continue reading The Braves Walk Off. Twice.
A Visit to Dodger Stadium with the Boys
The boys were only in their second week of school when Robert surprised me by saying that I was gonna get to take the boys to Dodger Stadium on the night of September 1…Robert somehow knew that it was Corey Seager’s bobblehead night, and also somehow knew that I really like Seager as a player, … Continue reading A Visit to Dodger Stadium with the Boys
World Series Game 6
They did it. The Dodgers won the World Series. It took 3 trips in 4 years, but they finally did it. And, for me, it’s the first time that a major league team I’ve been behind has won the World Series. I remember the years when the Smokies almost made their way to a championship … Continue reading World Series Game 6
World Series Game 5
That was more like it. The game was exciting but not too nerve racking…except when we got to the last couple innings and I was terrified – along with the rest of Los Angeles – that Roberts was gonna send Jansen in. I read on the internet – so it probably isn’t true – that … Continue reading World Series Game 5
World Series Games 3 & 4
Ok…so before I get to the thing everyone writing about the World Series wants to write about, let me just say a few words about Game 3. We. Won. We. Should. Have. We just played better baseball and the score reflected that. It was a communal effort – even Barnes, who’s primarily a defensive asset, … Continue reading World Series Games 3 & 4
World Series Games 1 & 2
I’d be lying if I said that I never stopped believing. Last Thursday was such a crazy day for me that it didn’t quite sink in that the Dodgers had dug themselves into a 3-1 hole. It wasn’t until I woke up Friday morning that I fully grasped the situation…and we know the odds of … Continue reading World Series Games 1 & 2
At Keaton’s for the NLDS
“So how gay was it yesterday?,” Keaton asked me as soon as I came in the door carrying the Wingstop. We decided to watch Tuesday’s game at his place, and I wasn’t gonna bring cups of noodles for us to share lol. “It was pretty dang gayass,” I said, “what with that Ethan dude watching … Continue reading At Keaton’s for the NLDS
The Postseason Begins
The postseason has started…and the Dodgers play their first game tonight. I’ve said before that I don’t understand the need for the new playoff format. I reckon someone thought that, since the season was shorter we’ll compensate for that by having the postseason be longer. If that makes sense to anyone, please explain it to … Continue reading The Postseason Begins
