According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Los Angeles Dodgers are focused on getting Toronto Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay. “The Dodgers badly need an ace and are focusing on Blue Jay ace Roy Halladay. The Dodgers would have to give up Billingsley and others,” he tweets. We think they might do Billingsley, but [...]
The Los Angeles Dodgers have declined the $10 million 2010 option on pitcher Jon Garland, who they got in a midseason trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks. So they essentially lost Tony Abreu for six starts in which Garland pitched pretty well, with a 3-2 record and 2.72 ERA. But, he was left off the NLCS [...]
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Vicente Padilla was accidentally shot by his “escort” on Tuesday at a shooting range in his native Nicaragua. PHOTO CAPTION: What the F is in my hat?

The ultimate team player, Los Angeles Dodgers juicehead left fielder Manny Ramirez admitted that he was already in the showers while Eric Bruntlett and Carlos Ruiz were running around the bases to end Game 4 with a Phillies win. “When I came out, they were turning the TVs off and everybody was coming in,” Ramirez [...]
This is great. This is the 1977 World Series with Doug Rau on the mound and Tommy Lasorda talking to him on the mound. It’s not safe for work, but it is safe if you have a four-year old on your lap at the computer. They should learn while they are young. Classic, classic, classic.

The player to be named later is in all likelihood Tony Abreu, who [...]
At the very least, Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitcher Jason Schmidt has just seen his season come to a close. The Dodgers placed him on the 60-day Mark Prior List which will shut him down for the year. The move was made to make room for Vicente “I throw fastballs 95% of the time” Padilla. But [...]
Thanks to Fooks for tipping us off on this one. And I’d like to thank him for the 30 other emails he sent us this morning that just didn’t make the cut. On his MLB blog, former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda rails on the Phillie Phanatic. OTR remembers being at one of these [...]
The Los Angeles Dodgers traded two prospects for Baltimore closer George Sherrill. Sherrill will take over setup duties for the Dodgers. The lefty reliever had a 2.41 ERA and 23 saves with the Orioles this year.
We’ve been hearing about Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw for some time now. He was up for a bit last year and is a full-time starter this season. He’s only 21 years old, but it seems that if he hasn’t already arrived, he’s damn close. On Sunday, he threw seven shutouts innings (all in a row) [...]
