Watch your footing this weekend if you're traveling to colder climates for the holidays! Take a lesson from Chad Billingsley, who broke his leg when he fell on some ice. Fingers crossed that he'll be healed up and ready to go for Spring Training. Read it here.

Get out there and vote next Tuesday, November 4th, Dodger fans!

My buddy and I are going to Under the Lights this year. I am so stoked, and I've got money riding on my ability to swing for the fences!

Manny's the Man

Manny Ramirez has joined the greats!
He’s now up to 12 seasons where he’s scored 30 homeruns. There is nothing I’ve done that well for 12 years. Hank Aaron had 15 seasons like that, Barry Bonds 14, Mike Schmidt and Babe Ruth 13. I get tired just thinking about it.

A Greener Dodger Stadium

I was just reading some of the "next 50" Dodger Stadium information, and I think it's cool how they're going green. I'm not a huge tree hugger or anything, but stadiums are one of those places where you can really see waste at work. Just wait a few minutes after the stands have cleared to see what I'm talking about - cups, beer cans, and just trash in general all over the place. Lots of it. So, it'll be cool to know that more recycling of that trash (among other things) is happening with the stadium updates.

Plus, they're going to have waterless urinals, and I am just dying to see how that works! ;)

Keep It Together, Kemp

Kemp's appealing his 4-game suspension that he earned by scuffling with the Rockies' Torrealba. As a Dodgers fan, I hope he wins the appeal. But as a baseball fan in general, I kinda wish he'd just take his punishment like a man.

"I'm letting my team down," Kemp said. "Four games, that's a lot of games. I'm just trying to not get that many games suspended, so I can get back on the field and help my team win."

Dude, you already let your team down by being a jackass at the game. I mean, I'm sure it feels good to let your frustration out immediately and physically...but even in the heat of the moment, isn't there some part of you that can keep it together?

Anger management, buddy.

Yesterday's loss was a disappointment, but wasn't that a hell of a game to watch? The almost-comeback was so exciting, you could feel it! Hopefully it was just a warmup for today's game. We're ready for a win! Beat those cubbies!

The Brooklyn Dodgers - a Blast from the Past

I can't even imagine how I'd feel if the LA Dodgers picked up and left town. But I'm guessing it would be something like this...

Even I have to admit, Brooklyn Dodgers still has enough of a ring to it that it doesn't sound wrong. But I'm glad I'm still able to enjoy my Los Angeles Dodgers tickets right here at home. It'd be a hell of a commute to get to Brooklyn for the games.

Come on Penny!

August was a disaster and the Dodgers have to make up a 3 game deficit to make it to the playoffs. At least Brad Penny seems to have finally snapped out of it (well, somewhat) when the Dodgers took the Cubs 6-2 on Tuesday. Come on guys, let's at least show the Angels who's boss!

He made HOW many million?

So I was sitting here surfing some Dodgers sites and found this:

And I started perusing. I thought, "Hey, it would be kind of interesting just to see what some of these guys make, wouldn't it?" After about thirty seconds, I decided maybe not.

It's a whole lot more enjoyable to just watch the Dodgers play when you don't think about the actual numbers involved.
