Finding the name intellectually offensive from the day Moreno announced it, I bring it up now because of recent developments. If the name the Angels have usurped were legitimate, Major League Baseball could promote one of the highlights of the coming season as the battle for Los Angeles. The Angels and the Dodgers have certainly spent a lot of time and money creating that picture.

  • Former Angels wunderkind slugging prospect Dallas McPherson has just been signed by the Dodgers to play in AAA, via Eric Stephen at True Blue LA.
  • Come on man!  Why do you have to disrespect the uniform like that?  Some idiot has been roaming East LA robbing stores decked out in LA Dodgers gear.  This guy really sucks. Story at CBSLA.com.  See the suspects photo to the right.
  • The Dodgers wish you a happy holidays!

Collection: A Couple of Andre Ethier 2007 SPx Signatures


With all of the talk and crazy rumors centered on whether the Dodger will trade Andre Ethier, I thought sharing these two cards of him would be timely.

Featured here are a couple of Andre Ethier 2007 Upper Deck SPx Young Star Signatures cards.  The top card is the base autographed insert card, and the silverish card is a parallel autographed card that is numbered to 25 copies.

As to whether the team should trade our right fielder?  I say no.  Why bother making what amounts to an incrimental change when we have a slugger who would more than suffice.  Was he the best option we can get out there?  No, but I think it's safe to say we are much better off in that position that a vast majority of the league.
