My Blue Thoughts

The Dodgers are the 2024 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!! With all the injuries and moves and everything that has happened to this team this season, the Dodgers are last team standing! Freddie Freeman in the World Series MVP, Walker Buehler becomes a Dodger legend. All this and so much more!

The Dodgers take a 2-0 lead over the Yankees in the World Series. Freddie Freeman hits the first walk off Grand Slam in World Series history. Flaherty showed up, Yamamoto showed up, and the Dodgers look to get two more wins, as the series heads to NY.

THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS ARE ADVANCING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! In a rematch of the 1981 World Series, the Dodgers will be facing the New York Yankees. The two best records in MLB, the two biggest superstars in MLB, in the two most storied franchises in MLB, face off in what will be the most watched World Series history.

The Dodgers are one win away from the World Series!! With huge contributions from guys like Tommy Edman and Kike Hernandez, the Dodgers look to their stars to get them to the promised land. With home field advantage, they have two chances to secure another pennant, and give baseball fans the epic LA vs NY World Series match up, that many have never witnessed before.

The Dodgers silence their critics, by eliminating the San Diego Padres from the NLDS. The Dodgers prepare to face the New York Mets in the NLCS, for the first time since 1988. The Dodgers bullpen was a huge factor in helping them advance. We preview the upcoming series.

NLDS GAME 5 Facing elimination in enemy territory, the Dodgers force a game 5 in LA. Player rivalry, fan rivalry, things are getting very testy and exciting in this NLDS!!!

GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT Peter RETURNS to give his recap of the 2024 regular season, as well as to preview the upcoming series with the Padres.

NLDS SWEEP EDITION Yet another season has come and gone, where the Dodgers have let down their fans, without winning a World Series. A 100 team, eliminated by an inferior team and division rival, for the second straight year. In the series finale, Peter gives his final Blue Thoughts

EP 7.25 The Dodgers finish the season 100-62, and 16 games ahead of the DBACKS. As they secure a first round bye, the Dodgers await the winner of the Brewers and DBACKS series. This week we hand out regular season awards, as well as make post season predictions.

7.24 The Dodgers take 3/4 against the Giants, and are now coasting to the playoffs. Clayton Kershaw moves to number 2 in all time Dodgers wins, and Freddie Freeman sets a career milestone.

7.23 The Dodgers win the NL WEST for the 10th time in 11 years. As they head toward the playoffs, in search of the 8th World Series title.

7.22 After a week of traveling, I'm back to discuss the state of the Dodgers. Walker is no longer coming back this season. Clayton isn't 100%, and the Dodgers are going to have to figure out how to piece together their post season rotation. They had two bad series against Atlanta and Florida, and looked better against the Nats.

7.21 Mookie returns to Fenway, and reminds the Boston faithful what they are missing. The Dodgers continue their dominance of the NL West, and look to challenge the Braves for best record in NL. Peter recalls his first visit to Boston, and shares a story, or two, or three.

7.20 The Dodgers wrap up the homestand by going 5-1 against the Brewers and the Marlins, despite having a last minute double header, on account of Hurrican Hilary. Nonetheless, the Dodger machine keeps moving forward, and have taken a commanding 11.5 game lead over the now second place Giants.

7.19 Dodger are riding a season high 8 game winning streak. They continue separating themselves from the rest of the division, and help is still on the way.

7.18 The Dodgers go into San Diego, and take 3-4, and prove once again, there is NO "rivalry.'' While they didn't make any huge blockbuster trades this season, the trades they did make help the team, and they didn't have to give away any top prospects to do so. They remain in first place in the west, as they head into a week with matchups against the falling DBACKS, and the la...

7.17 The Dodgers front office failed to land any big name players at the trade deadline, but the did make moves by adding Joe Kelly, Lance Lynn, and more. Eduardo Rodriguez turned down a trade to the Dodgers, and the Dodgers are going to have to get the most out of their players, if they are going to contend for another title.

7.16 The Dodgers offense is rolling on all cylinders! The bats were alive and well this week in Baltimore, and Texas. Freddie and Mookie continue to lead the charge, while JD, and Muncy have been very productive as well. The Dodgers continue a touch stretch in the schedule, facing Toronto, and Cinncinnatti, and look to build on the 4 game lead in the NL West.

7.15 The Dodgers have taken over first place in the NL West! Mookie is leading the charge, and Freddie is pretty close to him. The bullpen seems to have gotten some things figured out. With the Dodgers 2 games in front, and the trade deadline looming in less than two weeks, which candidates would be a good fit, and who would the team have to give up to acquire said trade candidates?

7.14 The Dodgers come out of the all star break tied for the NL West lead, technically ahead of Arizona in percentage points. On the back of MVP candidate Mookie Betts, and additional MVP candidate Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers have received contributions from almost everyone on the roster. While the starting staff has been decimated by injuries, the team still remains poised for another post seaso...

Dodgers suffer an embarrassing loss and series against the Royals. How did this happen? Dodgers need to make a trade. But for who? Do we Miss JT and Corey?

7.12 The Dodgers front office has lied to the fan base this year. The plan was never to compete for a WS this year. The plan was always to be "competitive," but not really compete for a title. The front office is mortgaging everything on the hopes the Dodgers can sign Ohtani. But is that a HUGE risk, at the cost of wasting another year?

7.11 The bullpen is an absolute dumpster fire. The starting rotation, minus Kersh, Gonsolin and Miller is below average at best. Is it time to make a trade?

7.10 The Dodgers are 4-6, 8-11, and have fallen to 1.5 games behind the DBACKS. Injuries have really plagued the Dodgers, but they are still inconsistent.

EP 7.9 Dodgers drop 2/3 against the Rays, and finish the road trip at 4-10. Bobby Miller was great in his first outing. There seems to be the perfect mix of superstar, hungry youth, and gritty veteran.
