Dylan Hernandez's smug and scathing commentary on the Dodgers' playoff prospects from the perspective of their current starting pitching staff was tiresome to read, to say the least. Hernandez is trying to suggest that Andrew Friedman and the Dodgers deliberately cut down their starting pitching staff to prove how smart they are. Sure, they didn't trade a bunch of prospects at the deadline for "name brand" starting pitching, but many of the clubs they traded for (such as the Angels [58] Rangers) are already regretting that decision. So the Dodgers will do what they generally do, or do better than anyone else - make the most of what they have rather than whine about what they don't have.

I hate to admit it, but I have to agree with Dylan Hernandez. The Dodgers cannot win the World Series without a big horse that can pitch; they need a pitcher that can pitch every 3-4 days and do a great job. Looking back in the past, most teams that have won the World Series had a guy who was willing to work hard to make a big playoff run.

The Dodgers will lose in the first round of the playoffs because of their inept pitching staff. The team that Shohei Ohtani would least want to go to would be the Dodgers. If the "experts" are correct that he wants to move to a team that will win a World Series championship, he will move to Atlanta.

I believe alcohol is mostly responsible for the violence at Dodger Stadium. We stopped attending Dodgers games because of drunken fans and the threat of violence.
Beer used to be the only thing sold at the stadium. Today Dodger Stadium is essentially a sports bar with the ballpark in the background. Alcohol is sold every few feet on the concourse, and alcohol sales are unregulated. Fans can get as drunk as they want. Fans arrive at games drunk and continue to drink. I have seen people so drunk they could barely walk.

I was appalled and saddened to read the headlines in Sunday's Times about the bad press at my beloved Dodger Stadium... As a fan who has been watching since 1966, the sad part is that I myself was part of the problem. I was part of the problem. I too was involved in a post-game parking lot fight in the late 70's when the Reds were in the West. I suffered a concussion. The common denominator in my fights (besides stupidity) was alcohol. Unfortunately, alcohol is a cash cow at most sporting venues and will never go away. By the way, I no longer consume alcohol at any sporting event.

The NBA shouldn't gush about their new "load management" policy. The day after announcing the new policy, the network announced a new deal with the NBA. That means thanking the network for allowing each team to do what they do best: play against the players. Credit where credit is due.

What is a commissioner, it's nice to see NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sitting with Michael Vick at an Eagles game.

I happen to have Prime Video, but many, and probably most NFL fans do not. To them, Roger Goodell is like a middle finger. Even more money. As if the NFL needed it.

Just found out Alex Rodriguez tipped off Manny Ramirez, FOX and ESPN should cut ties with A-Rod now.

Great article by Steve Henson on Eddie Meador Growing up in Los Angeles in the 50's and watching my first pro football game at the Coliseum, I was always fascinated by the way the game was played. Watching them, I will never forget stars like Norm Van Brocklin, Elroy Hirsch, John Arnett, Les Richter, and, of course, the diminutive but truly appreciated Meadors. In today's game, open-field tackling was a thing of the past. Meador was by far the most outstanding player I have ever seen. The fact that he is not in the Hall of Fame is hard to comprehend. His career and numbers have stood the test of time. Today they are giving him a Hall of Fame induction like a mint in a shruft. Please give Eddie the respect and recognition he deserves.
