Dodgers Keep Pace With a 4-3 Victory Over the Padres in 11
Posted on 4 Sep 2012 by Simran Reyatt.
It would behoove the Dodgers to stop making a habit of winning in dramatic fashion. It's tough on not only the fans, but on the players as well. But for now, any win will have to do, such as the Dodgers 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres in 11 innings. With the Giants, Cardinals and Braves all winning, it was imperative that the Dodgers win to prevent falling further behind in their pursuit ...

Posted on 3 Sep 2012 by Simran Reyatt.
In his first at-bat as a Dodger last week, Adrian Gonzalez hit the second pitch he saw into the right field stands for a three-run home run. It was the stuff movies were made of, in the land of Hollywood, no less. The fans went crazy and we all thought that the home runs would follow and the the runs would be overflowing. Times were good, indeed. However, that didn't last long. Gonzalez, and th...

Dodgers Drop Another Game to the Diamondbacks, 4-3 in Extra Innings
Posted on 1 Sep 2012 by Simran Reyatt.
What has been unexplainable to unbelievable to unreal has turned into just plain pathetic. The Dodgers dropped yet another game in their quest to, either, win the division or earn a wild card berth. They are 4 1/2 games behind the San Francisco Giants and 1 1/2 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the second wild card spot. It is becoming more and more frustrating for the Dodgers who failed...

Posted on 23 Aug 2012 by Simran Reyatt.

Posted on 22 Aug 2012 by Simran Reyatt.
The new-look Dodger offense, which were scoring runs at a premium only a week ago, has found itself stalling and sputtering for the second night in a row as the San Francisco Giants took game two of the series, 4-1, at Dodger Stadium last night. For the second straight game, the Giants pitching shut down the Dodger offense. Tim Lincecum (7-13) resembled his former Cy-Young award-winning self, p...

Dodger Bats Go Meekly Into the Night in 2-1 Loss to Giants
Posted on 21 Aug 2012 by Simran Reyatt.
It was about three weeks back and the Dodgers just came off of what seemed to be a signature sweep over their rivals to the north in San Francisco. The sweep propelled them into a tie for first place and the new-look Dodger offense poured in 20 runs over the three game sweep. The Dodgers, looking to build on that momentum, came back home to Dodger Stadium only to have the offense disappear, suf...

Billingsley 6th Straight Victory Lifts Dodgers Over the Braves
Posted on 19 Aug 2012 by Simran Reyatt.
Perhaps it's the beard. Or perhaps it was being demoted from number two in the rotation. Whatever it was, something has sparked Chad Billingsley, who has pitched phenomenal for Dodgers since the all-star break. Billingsley picked up his sixth straight victory by pitching seven scoreless innings and improving his record to 10-9 on the year. He became the first Dodger pitcher to record six straig...

Posted on 31 Jul 2012 by Simran Reyatt.
If you can't beat them, get them to join your side. That was what the Dodgers did today in acquiring Shane Victorino from the Philadelphia Philles for reliever Josh Lindblom and minor league pitcher Ethan Lee. It marked a busy week for the Dodgers, beginning with the July 24th acquisition of Hanley Ramirez and Randy Choate and ending with the Victorino deal. Sandwiched in between those deals wa...

Posted on 22 Jul 2012 by Simran Reyatt.
It took 12 innings, but the Dodgers accomplished something they haven't done in 10 years: they swept the New York Mets on the road.

Matt Kemp Powers Dodgers Past the Phillies in 12
Posted on 18 Jul 2012 by Simran Reyatt.
Well, that was a crazy game, wasn't it? The Dodgers offense toiled around all game long only to finally come alive in extra innings, coming from behind to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-3 at Dodger Stadium. The Matt Kemp from April finally emerged as he hit a walk-off, two-run home run off of Jake Diekman in the 12th inning that helped the Dodgers salvage one game of the three-game series....
