Great Games of 2011-Late Rally,Loney Blast, and Bison Walk-Off Lead Dodgers to Win - Lasorda's Lair - Lasorda's Lair - A Los Angeles Dodgers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

]]> On August 27, 2011, the Dodgers were playing Colorado at home in the second game of a three game set. This late in the season we had long since given up on actually making the playoffs, and at this point we’re just hoping for a .500 finish. This game was like many of the Dodger-Rockie games of the 2011 season. It was a back and forth game with a lot of scoring. On a 100 degree day at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers who were down by four runs, rally to take the lead, by scoring five runs in the 6th inning. The Dodgers tied it in the 9th, on a Loney home run, and won it in the bottom of the 11th, on Matt Kemp’s third walk-off blast of the year…….Here is how it all happened…….

Can the Dodgers Avoid the Injury Bug in 2012? - Lasorda's Lair - Lasorda's Lair - A Los Angeles Dodgers Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

]]> Injuries are a big part of Baseball and all sports. Teams try and avoid them, but no matter how hard anyone tries, no one is exempted from the injury bug. It’s unavoidable. Injuries are going to happen in some form, which is why all major league teams carry a medical staff and have team physicians. Players are regularly examined by team doctors throughout the season. Injuries are just a natural part of Baseball life. The best you can be is prepared for when they happen. The Dodgers were unequipped to handle the heavy amount of injuries that befell them in 2011. For example, last winter the Dodgers signed starting pitcher Jon Garland and also signed starting pitcher Vicente Padilla. Garland was slated to be the number five starter, and Padilla was signed for depth, to be used as a staff utility guy wherever he was needed whether in the rotation or in relief. However the plan backfired when both pitchers got hurt, and both bowed out for the disabled list. It was like Dodger Stadium was the Mash 4077th unit. Take a look at the Dodger 2011 injury list below…….
