Dodgers Blog | Riverside Press-Enterprise
- Alexander: Anatomy of a watch-blog As we noted in today's State of SoCal Sports package, self-publishing has helped change the dynamics of being a fan. For Joshua Fisher, it wasn't so much a need to complain about Dodger owner Frank McCourt and the potential damage his divorce might cause to the club. It was more "a really interesting topic that I'm interested in," he said in a phone interview. "I started writing about it and people latched on to it, as a forum to evaluate what's going on and what the prospects are going forward." The result was the "Dodger Divorce" blog, which started in October as an examination of the spli... February 1, 2010
- Baseball fans, we're extending the vote! We got a few votes in our polls to determine the stories of the decade for the Angels, Dodgers and Padres, the first in our series of polls. But I suspect there are many more fans out there who haven't got the word yet. So instead of the one-day poll, as originally intended, we're extending not only these but all the polls. You have until 8 p.m. Christmas Eve to vote on each of them. Here's the schedule: Angels - yesterday. Dodgers - yesterday. Padres - yesterday. Lakers - today at 10 a.m. Clippers - today at 2 p.m. Chargers - Monday USC - Tuesday UCLA - Tuesday Area colleges - Tuesday Ducks... January 20, 2010
- Stories of the decade: Dodgers Now it's Dodger fans' turn to determine the biggest story of the decade. Again, poll closes at 8 p.m., Christmas Eve: Story of the decade, Dodgers(polls) Next: Padres at 1 p.m. (And, again, don't forget to vote in the Hall of Fame poll if you haven't already.) January 18, 2010
- Alexander: Wear black today, Dodger and Angel fans If July 31 was the day the hopes for a World Series championship ran aground for the Dodgers and Angels, then call this the day the music died for 2010, assuming the three-team trade between Philadelphia, Seattle and Toronto goes through today. The team that probably didn't need Roy Halladay to get back to the World Series again, the Phillies, went out and got him. The team that already swiped Chone Figgins from the Angels, the Mariners, gave themselves maybe the best 1-2 pitching punch in the American League West by getting Cliff Lee to go with Felix Hernandez. And the packages of prospects b... January 17, 2010
- Alexander: Who would YOU pick for Cooperstown? Ballots for the 2010 Hall of Fame election are due back to the Baseball Writers Association of America by Dec. 31, 2009. And while I have a pretty good idea who I'm going to vote for -- and no, I'm not going to reveal it just yet -- I thought it would be fun to see who the public might choose. So here is the ballot, all 26 names. The rules for this straw poll are similar to those for the real poll: You may vote for up to 10 players. You are not required to vote for 10, but you may not vote for more than 10. (Honest, that's the exact language on the actual ballot.) 2010 Baseball Hall of Fame p... January 17, 2010
