Another Damn Dodgers Take: The Breaking of Baseball

I know I know I know…A Padres fan writing about the Dodgers ruining Baseball? How fresh! How edgy! How biased!

Another Season, Another Scapegoat

Again. Another manager. The fifth in the last six seasons, or as one might call it “The Manny Era”. Sure, they say Shildt retired, […]
