DODGERS BASEBALL

I lived in LA for years and suffered through season after season of lousy Dodger baseball. We moved back to NYC two years ago and what happens? Joe Torre goes to LA, the Yankees start charging $10,500 for a family of four, and the Mets aren't far behind.

And now, to top it all off, the Dodgers have started the season with twelve straight wins at home, tying the modern-day record of Ty Cobb's 1911 Cubs.

With that said, I'm sure the Dodgers will lose their next game. I've broken the cardinal rule of mentioning a no-hitter while the game is in progress.


Correction: It was the 1911 Tigers. Not the Cubs. Wrong animal. Sorry.

RIP MVP

The baseball world and Brooklyn suffered a great loss Sunday night as Brooklyn Dodger pitching great, Johnny Podres, passed away at age 75.

Podres won 2 games, including the decisive 7th game, in the 1955 World Series against the Yankees. The victory, at the House That Ruth Built, gave the Brooklyn Dodgers their only World Series Championship.

Rest in Peace, Johnny.
