Oddsmakers still favor Dodgers to win World Series – so there’s that

I will be the very first to admit that I am not much of a gambler. Oh sure, I’ve had my moments at blackjack tables in Las Vegas over the years. But to say that I am an accomplished gambler couldn’t be further from the truth. That being said, when I treated my now 22-year-old […]

It’s only weird if it doesn’t work

Earlier this week when the Dodgers were on the brink of losing their 12th consecutive game, an unnamed Dodgers beat writer asked several players in the Dodgers clubhouse if they were doing anything unusual to help them snap out of their current 1-16 skid.

In addition to what would have been the Dodgers 12th consecutive loss, it also might have been Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw’s second, something almost unheard-of these days.
