The 2013 Los Angeles Dodgers are a monumental flop. They're a steaming-on-the-asphalt big fat flop. In fact, there's so much flopping going on here that if this were basketball, L.A.'s club would be fined out of existence by the NBA. But no such luck. This is baseball, and our team has laid a dud, ... More >>
Don Mattingly is on a plane home from Wisconsin as we speak, and may be handed a pink slip with his luggage upon disembarking.

He was booed mercifully, actually, and there's a difference. It's like what Jerry Lewis once said about the Great Wall of China: "It's not a great wall; ... More >>
Ah, the ups and downs of a .500 team. Or, in the case of the 9-10 Dodgers, an almost-.500 team. L.A.'s baseball club went east for a week, dropped two out of three in Baltimore, won two of three versus the Mets, and came home as happy as clams in the Chesapeake. Winning the final game of a road tri ... More >>

Wheaties may be the breakfast of champions, but plenty of athletes don't swear by dry flakes for their daily sustenance. Lakers forward Ron Artest used to drink Hennessey at half-time. His teamate Lamar Odom likes jelly beans and gummy bears. Former Yankees slugger Babe Ruth once inhaled 24 hot d ... More >>
"We're going to party at my house. We're going to party like rock stars, if you can find my house," yelled an enormous sweat and champagne-covered man to the frenzied crowd at Dodger Stadium on Saturday night. The “man” was Manny.
