Welcome to Dodger Stadium

Dodgers Beat Braves, Win 6th in a Row and Kershaw Remains Amazing

It’s a good time to be a Dodger fan. Seems every night they take the field, something amazing happens – so often, though, that it’s easy to take for granted.  That’s one of the reasons I wanted to create this blog – to celebrate the moments that should have time to be appreciated. Last night, we had plenty of those moments.

The number one thing that can’t be taken for granted is the steady brilliance of Clayton Kershaw.  We are spoiled to have a man like that taking the mound every fifth day.  Here are just a few reasons why.

I mean, seriously.  Who does stuff like that?  We are watching history with this kid.

In a 2-1 game, there also has to be some great defense.  Last night, Dee Gordon put on a show at 2nd to remind us that he’s not only a new player at the plate, but also a legit second baseman!  Dee has come a long way, to say the least.  This year’s Dee Gordon would slap 2012-13 Dee Gordon in the face and ask what the hell he was thinking. We’ve all been rooting for him to become the player he could be.  Now we’re watching that happen and it’s so much fun.

And then you had Yasiel Puig take the whole team on his shoulders and provide the runs for the victory.  He just keeps on performing, despite the rest of the world hoping that he fails. I’m just glad the Wild Horse is part of our stable and that he never gets too tame.

To read what smarter people have to say about last night’s game, here are a few recaps:

Looking forward to the Cubs tonight.  See you on Twitter!
