According to Chris at Dodgerfan.net, the Dodgers are the favorite in Las Vegas to win the World Series, with odds at Mandalay Bay at 7-2.

But now, with one-third of the season under the belt, it’s a good time to examine just where the Dodgers stand. As of the…

Welcome to Mannywood 2009

The frustrating courtship between Manny Ramirez and the LA Dodgers is finally over. Manny’s a Dodger again, signing a contract on Wednesday. The slugger with Predator hair is expected to be in uniform and on the field by Friday (editor’s note: this was written on Thursday).

Frank McCourt flew back to LA from Arizona Tuesday night to hear from Manny’s own mouth if he can be a team player, in body and spirit,…

League Championship Series Update

ALCS

In today’s matinee, the Red Sox will host the Rays at 96 year old Fenway Park in game 3 of their ALCS showdown. The series is tied at 1 game a piece going into these 3 games in Boston. The Rays need to win only 1 game in order to bring this series back to Tampa Bay and Tropicana Field!

I think that the top 6 hitters…

Moving Onto The League Championship Series

Last night, both beasts from the east advanced into the ALCS. The Tampa Bay Rays will host the Boston Red Sox in game 1 on Friday, October 10th at 8:35pm. I predict that this one will go to 7 games. There will definitely NOT be a sweep of any kind.

The Angels are upset right now, but they should be upset with themselves. They were the favorites going into this series, but history…

League Divisional Series Update

Over the weekend, we saw the Dodgers send the favored Cubs home packing after playing the minimum. This is the perfect time for them to get hot and they’re on fire right now! I thought that Red Sox fans had it tough with their 86 year drought, but I was wrong. I feel for Cub fans everywhere. Here’s a peek into the thoughts of Cub fans everywhere I would think.

Meanwhile, it looks…
