Sir Albert Pujols traveled up the Interstate 5 freeway from Anaheim to LA, but this time he's staying. A dream come true for Dodger fans as Pujols agreed to a one-year deal with the Dodgers on May 17 and hit the ground running as he made his debut that same night starting at first base against the Diamondbacks. Pujols started his journey with the Cardinals where he played for 11 seasons and was unanimously voted NL Rookie of the Year in 2001 and then would go on to contribute to two World...

The injury occurred while he was taking batting practice, and felt it on one particular swing of the bat. Oblique injuries take time to heal and he'll have to spend some time in Arizona on rehab assignment before coming back to the majors. Before the...

Shohei Ohtani is a 23-year-old baseball star who’s been called The Babe Ruth of Japan. He wants to pitch, perhaps rest a day and then play in the outfield the rest of the week. However, the Angels are likely to make him a Designated Hitter at the outset. Playing the outfield will come later according to general manager Billy Eppler. Angel fans better get used to the plan because an international competition ended last week when Ohtani said no to five other finalists and chose the Angels. The D...

Since most of us live here there was a lot of support for the Dodgers to win their first World Series since 1988. But it didn't work out that way when the Houston Astros became World Series champions for the first time in their 56-year history. Their 5-1 victory over the Dodgers Wednesday night left no doubt they were well prepared and quite anxious to prevail for themselves and the people of Houston who were so badly battered in this year's terrible flood. For now let's put aside our...
Eight home runs. Both teams having a lead in extra innings. The Dodgers lose as their streak of going 98-0 when they lead after innings ends. Yes, they’re calling Wednesday night’s action at Dodger Stadium the greatest Game Two in World Series history. I haven’t seen them all through the years but I think the label fits. The Dodgers won Game One in only a little over two hours. Many fans left the ballpark believing the Dodgers looked good enough to end their World Series drought that spans...
By Mitch Chortkoff Sports Editor Without question Kirk Gibson’s home run in 1948 remains the most famous one since the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. The Dodgers won that season’s World Series and no LA Dodger team has won one since. But a three-run homer in the ninth inning by Justin Turner Sunday night, giving the Dodgers a 4-1 victory over the defending champion Cubs is being linked with Gibson. Listen to what Justin Turner, the Dodgers’ new hero, has to say about it. “I listene...
