6/13/13: The biggest story in baseball this week is Dodgers' rookie sensation Yasiel Puig. Puig burst on to the big stage this week in a major way. He hit four home runs in his first five games. He threw out a runner at first base, from right field, to end a game. And most importantly, he has given Dodger fans something to cheer about. He will not continue this torrid pace, but he should be a fixture on the team for years to come. He is bringing the spark and excitement back to Dodger Stadium - one that has not been seen since Manny Ramirez and "Mannywood" came to town several years ago.

6/6/13: This week's report on the Dodgers is much like every other week. Manager Don Mattingly, who was given a $230 million roster, is on the hot seat because the team is doing very poorly, and there is another significant injury. This time is is Carl Crawford. Crawford pulled up lame as he ran into second base over the weekend. He was holding his hamstring and limping. There is no timetable for his return, but hamstrings often take a few weeks to heal properly. At eight games under 500 and in last place in the NL West, the last thing the team needs is another injury to a starter.

5/30/13: The end may be near for the Don Mattingly era in L.A. While it is true that the Dodgers have suffered an unbelievably high number of injuries - particularly to their starting pitching and to shortstop Hanley Ramirez - this is a team of high priced all stars that has just not come to play at all this season. Most recently, the Cardinals took two of three from the Dodgers over the weekend, including scoring the most runs off of staff ace Clayton Kershaw since last July. The season seems over before it even began for the Dodgers, and the next step will probably mean new faces in the clubhouse.

5/23/13: So the Dodgers are in last place. That is especially hard to hear for those that bleed Dodger Blue after all the money they spent the last two years to win a World Series. But the Dodgers have been snake bitten this year. They started out with nine (count them, nine) pitchers who could be starters. But between trades and injuries, they are down to two or three. Zach Grienke came back, but he alone is not enough to move the needle. L.A. may have already played themselves out of a playoff spot, but with a good second half, then maybe they can prove that they are a team worth considering.

5/16/13: All is not well in Dodgertown. The team lost eight in a row before finally defeating the hapless Miami Marlins at home. The losing streak has dropped the team to fourth in the division, looking up at the San Francisco Giants, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Colorado Rockies. L.A. has been decimated by injuries to their starting pitching and Hanley Ramirez is not coming back anytime soon. Rumors are swirling now that manager Don Mattingly is on the hot seat, though a lot of this is simply out of his control. But L.A. is paying for a winner, so only time will tell.

5/9/13: The Dodgers are simply snake bitten this season. L.A. loaded up on big names through trades and free agency once former L.A. Lakers superstar Magic Johnson and his group purchased the team. Money is no object. What is an object is the unbelievable amount of injuries the team has suffered. They started spring training with 9 pitchers. Only two are healthy. One of their callups, Steven Fife, went down right away. Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez broke his thumb in the World Championships. He came back last Monday, then pulled his hamstring on Thursday. The Giants and Rockies are being handed the division race right now, leaving the Dodgers dazed and confused.

5/2/13: The Dodgers just keep losing starting pitchers. The talk around Dodgers' camp a month ago was they had too many starting pitchers. Now they have proven that too much is never enough. Call up Steven Fife (replacing the injured Ted Lilly) has been placed on the 15 day disabled list with bursitis in his right shoulder. Matt McGill has been called up to fill in . He will be the ninth starting pitcher for LA this season, and the season is less than a month old. Without their rotation, this looks like the Giants division to lose this season.

4/25/13: It seems like only yesterday when the Dodgers had eight, count 'em, eight starting pitchers. Well, that was a couple months ago in spring training. Now they only have three active. The latest casualty is Chad Billingsley. He is done for the year with a Tommy John injury and will be out 12 months. Ted Lilly will return from the DL soon making it four pitchers. Zach Grienke is out for a few months with a broken collarbone. Chris Cauano has a calf injury, and the Dodgers traded away Aaron Harang because they had a surplus. Go figure.

4/18/13: By now everyone has heard about the Quinten vs. Zach Grienke showdown. In the aftermath, the San Diego Padres lost Quinten for eight games (or less than 5% of the season). Grienke meanwhile is out for about two months (or 33% of the season). That is a tough pill to swallow for the Dodgers, particularly since Grienke was just signed to a $147 million contract. Quinten, very smartly mind you, dropped his appeal of his suspension. Dodgers and Padres are up again early next week, so maybe it is best that he sits out that series.

4/4/13: The Dodgers got off to a hot start against their arch rival, the San Francisco Giants. Dodgers' ace Clayton Kershaw got the start at home on opening day, and he made it a memorable one. Kershaw went the distance, pitching a four hit complete game shutout in a gem of an exhibition. Additionally, Kershaw hit his first career home run. He gave L.A. a one to nothing lead at the time, so he ended up knocking in the winning run. It is only one game, but the Dodgers looked like a team on the rise against the defending World Series Champions.

3/21/13: All Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez was a big 'get' for the Dodgers last year, as the team loaded up on talent to become the Yankees East (or the NL Anaheim). Ramirez is one of the better shortstops available (and is thankfully out of Miami), so the team is rightfully concerned about his thumb. The prognosis is that he could be out two weeks or two months. He injured the thumb while playing third base and diving for a ball in the Championship Game of the World Baseball Classic. It could be a sprain or a ligament tear. And people wonder why team owners do not want their players playing in the WBC.

7/30/12 ? With the trade deadline approaching, the Los Angeles Dodgers made some moves to bolster their team for the stretch run. The Dodgers reached into the talent pool of the NL East for their needs. From the Miami Marlins, the Dodgers acquired shortstop/third-baseman Hanley Ramirez and relief pitcher Randy Choate. From the Philadelphia Phillies, outfielder Shane Victorino and pitcher Joe Blanton were traded to the Dodgers. All four players go from the bottom of the NL East to the top of the NL West. Ramirez and Victorino give more depth to a strong Dodgers offense led by Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier, while Blanton and Choate join a pitching staff that has overachieved to be the strength of this Dodgers team.

The Los Angeles Dodgers added a new offensive weapon for their postseason playoff push, acquiring infielder Hanley Ramirez in a four-player trade with the Miami Marlins. A three-time All-Star and former National League batting champion, Ramirez is hitting .251 with 14 homers and 48 RBI's this year. The 28-year-old has been a disappointment over the past two seasons. He is expected to fill in at third base and take over for Juan Uribe who is hitting just .190 with two homers and 17 RBI's. The Dodgers also acquired left-fielder Randy Choate for starter Nate Eovaldi and minor league right-hander Scott McGough. Los Angeles is 2 _ games behind the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants.

The sliding Los Angeles Dodgers needed something to provide them with a much- needed spark and that spark came in the form of a trade on Wednesday that sent Miami Marlins third baseman Hanley Ramirez to the Dodgers. Ramirez, who was moved from shortstop to third base this season with the arrival of Jose Reyes in Miami, debuted on Wednesday night for the Dodgers, although he played third base instead of going back to his natural position. Interestingly, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly offered Ramirez the choice to play either shortstop or third and Hanley picked third. In his debut, Ramirez picked up two hits and an RBI.

The depleted Los Angeles Dodgers have been struggling to score runs lately, and are currently in the midst of a major midseason swoon, having lost 9 of their last 10. The Dodgers, who once held the best record in baseball only a few short weeks ago, are now in second place in the NL West at 43-34 and are sorely missing Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier. Kemp, who will likely not return until the All-Star break, is the biggest bat in the Dodgers lineup and has been a big reason why Los Angeles has struggled to score in his absence.

The Los Angeles Dodgers owned the best record in baseball before being swept by the Oakland Athletics this week and losing the crown, at least fpr the moment, to the Texas Rangers. The sweep was capped off by the Dodgers falling 4-1 on Thursday after A's rookie Yoenis Cespedes hit a three-run walk-off home run. The Dodgers will now face their Los Angeles counterparts, the Angels, in a three-game interleague series this weekend. The Dodgers will send the 8-2 Chris Capuano to the mound for the series opener on Friday night.

Sporting the best record in baseball halfway through the month of June and about a month before the All-Star break, the Los Angeles Dodgers continue to be on a tear as of late, winning 7 of their last 10 games and storming out to a 40-24 record, becoming the first team to reach the 40-win plateau this season. The Dodgers are four games in front of the second-place Giants. Los Angeles will open up a three-game series on Friday night at Dodger Stadium against the Chicago White Sox and will send their ace Clayton Kershaw (5-3, 2.65 ERA) to the mound against Chris Sale.

After completing a four-game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies, the 37-21 Los Angeles Dodgers find themselves in first place in the NL West, 4 games ahead of the San Francisco Giants. Despite the fact that Matt Kemp remains on the DL with his hamstring injury, the Dodgers continue to get on base and score runs against just about anyone, and are one of the hottest teams in baseball at the moment. They will begin a three-game interleague series with the Seattle Mariners on Friday night and will look to keep their winning streak going against American League competition.

The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a four game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies as they continue to play well without injured outfielder Matt Kemp. The Dodgers own the best record in the majors and hold a four game lead in the NL West over the San Francisco Giants. Starter Chris Capuano is in the early running for best offseason signing as he has posted a 8-2 record with a 2.82 ERA in just first year in Los Angeles aftre going 11-12 last season with the Mets. Capuano has never finished a season with an ERA under three, but looks like he will change that this season.

With the best record in baseball as we begin the month of June, the Los Angeles Dodgers are actually on a losing streak, believe it or not. The 32-19 Dodgers are losers of their last four games, and still they manage to have the best mark in the league. They lead the second-place San Francisco Giants by a comfortable 5 games in the NL West and are winning ballgames thanks to outstanding pitching from the trio of Clayton Kershaw, Ted Lilly, and Chris Capuano. However, the Dodgers did get some bad news this week as Matt Kemp returned to the lineup only to reinjure him hamstring and leave the game. A return to the DL for Kemp is imminent and he will likely miss some more time.

5/31/12 - With Matt Kemp headed back to the disabled list, the Los Angeles Dodgers have called up second baseman Alex Castellanos from AAA Albuquerque. In 21 games for the Isotopes, Castellanos has hit .361 with 17 extra base hits, four home runs, and seven stolen bases. Castellanos came to the Dodgers as part of last year's Rafael Furcal trade and has hit well since coming to the Dodgers organization, hitting .322 in 32 games for AA Chattanooga. The 25 -year-old will certainly not replace Kemp's production, but Castellanos is believed to be a solid bat with the ability to keep the Dodgers afloat.

5/25/12 The surprising Los Angeles Dodgers are winners of 7 of their last 10 and currently boast the best record in all of baseball with a 30-14 mark. Despite Matt Kemp being out of the lineup for the last few weeks with a hamstring injury, the Dodgers are still been rolling, with their pitching staff being one of the best in the league right now. The trio of Clayton Kershaw, Chris Capuano, and Ted Lilly has been dominant thus far. Kershaw is 4-1 with an ERA of 1.90, while Capuano is 6-1 with a 2.25 ERA and Lilly also has a 5-1 record. The Dodgers will look to continue their hot streak with a three-game set against the Houston Astros this weekend.

5/18/12 After splitting a 2-game series with the division rival San Diego Padres, the 25-13 Los Angeles Dodgers, in first place in the NL West, will open up a 3-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. Pitching for the Dodgers in the first game of the series is Ted Lilly, who has been fantastic thus far this season with a 5-0 record and a paltry 2.11 ERA. With star Matt Kemp placed on the 15-day DL earlier this week with a hamstring injury, the rest of the lineup will have to begin picking up some of the slack, at least until Kemp returns.

5/11/12 At 20-11, the Los Angeles Dodgers lead the second place San Francisco Giants by 5 games in the NL West. The stellar production from Matt Kemp rivals only the Rangers' Josh Hamilton for the hottest start in the majors so far this season. Kemp is batting .385 with 12 home runs and 27 RBI and is making a very strong case thus far for winning the MVP award that he came so close to capturing last season. The Dodgers are also getting the job done on the mound as well, with Ted Lilly and Clayton Kershaw. Lilly is 4-0 with a 1.41 ERA in the early-going.

5/2/12 - After a torrid month of April, Matt Kemp has been voted the National League Player of the Month for April. In 23 games, Kemp led the Majors with a .417 batting average and 12 home runs. He also led the National League in RBI (25), hits (35), runs (24), and slugging percentage (.893). Kemp also set a new franchise record with 12 April home runs. He also had a 10 game hitting streak in April going 20 for 36 and hit .556 during that span. Kemp is following up a great 2011 campaign where he was second in the NL MVP voting.

5/4/12 The 17-8 Los Angeles Dodgers remain in first place in the NL West, still 4.5 games ahead of the second place Colorado Rockies thanks to the scorching start from early MVP candidate and 2011 MVP runner-up Matt Kemp. Kemp is leading the league in batting average and home runs, and is tied for second in RBI. With a .411 average, 12 home runs and 25 RBI, Kemp has looked like a man out to prove that he was the one who deserved to win last year's MVP award, and not the Brewers' Ryan Braun, who was later wrapped up in a PED controversy.

4/12/12 With brand new ownership at the helm and the hot-hitting MVP runner-up Matt Kemp getting off to a red-hot start to the season, the 6-1 NL West leading Los Angeles Dodgers are the talk of the town out in Hollywood. Currently sixth in the league in runs scored with 30, the Dodgers' lineup is bolstered by Matt Kemp, batting .414 with 2 home runs, and Andre Ethier who has also gotten off to a hot start with 10 RBI. The Dodgers have been the surprise story of the early part of the 2012 season and look to ride this wave all the way to their first NL West title since 2009.

Los Angeles Dodgers Tickets - A Unique Baseball Team!

Talk about some serious traveling across the country, butthis team known as the Los Angeles Dodgers didn't even start out on that side of America. Established back in 1883, the team actually was born in Brooklyn, New York. You've heard of the Brooklyn Dodgers, right? Same exact team. Back in 1958, the team moved to Los Angeles, changing their name, and playing in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before finally moving to their final home called Dodger Stadium, one of three ballparks that remain as the oldest parks in MLB history. Surprisingly, though, the Dodgers didn't even begin with that name when they were in Brooklyn. Originally, they wereknown as the Atlantics. They were also known as the Bridegrooms, Grooms,Superbas, Robins, Trolley Dodgers, and then of course the Dodgers by 1930.

Los Angeles Dodgers Tickets - Did We Mention That They're "Unique"?

Yes, we did. And here's why. The Dodgers were actually the first team to bring in an African-American player -- the legendary Jackie Robinson. Not to be outdone by that, the Dodgers also recruited the very first Taiwanese player, Chin-Feng Chen. Other Asian players were standard fare for the Dodgers, such as Hong-Chih Kuo from Taiwan, Takashi Saito from Japan, and Chan Ho Park from South Korea. Pretty much puts the Dodgers in the record booksnow doesn't it?

Los Angeles Dodgers Tickets - Why Going to See the Dodgers Must Be Fun

While it's actually an enjoyable state to visit -- especially with the Terminator as governor (we love you, Ahnold) --nothing beats a game with the Dodgers playing. There's always something fun to see -- after all,it's Los Angeles! Look around! There's nothing but fun there.
