Juan Pierre, Russell Martin and Jeff Kent each had an RBI double as the Dodgers beat the Reds 3-1 in the first of a three-game set at Great American Ball Park. Kent finished with three hits for LA, which snapped a five-game skid. Chad Billingsley...

I wish I could have seen this one, because a couple of plays turned on Adam Dunn's mobility or lack thereof in left. On a week in which I had to put up with Charlie Steiner tut-tutting the DH not only on his XM radio show but in today's Dodger...

Jay Bruce is 0-for his last-15, and is still batting .325. That's relatively good news, but it also reflects how the Reds' offense is doing. Johnny Cueto turned in a quality start, but it wasn't enough. Cueto went seven innings and gave up two runs on...

Remember when the Dodgers were our biggest rivals? Seems like ages ago. Johnny Cueto is back on the mound, and I’m sure Marty Brennaman will be frustrated with him once again. I’m optimistic about tonight’s start for the young...

The Dodgers continue to the final stop of their nine-game roadtrip to Cincinnati to face the Reds, who are last in the NL Central. The Dodgers look to win their first series since May 19-21 when they swept the Reds at home. Chad Billingsley will take...

The Los Angeles Dodgers come to town this week for a three-game series. For all the ups and downs, the Reds find themselves a good week or two from being in the race: at 33-38, they are in last place, but five games under .500. A five-game winning...

Hiroki Kuroda was scheduled to pitch today in the second game against Bronson Arroyo, but he was sent back to LA to have an MRI on his right shoulder. Derek Lowe will replace him as the starter, and is still on his usual days’ rest because of...

Quite possibly.  From Dylan Hernandez at the LA Times : The news went from bad to worse for the Dodgers on Tuesday, as they put Brad Penny on the 15-day disabled list and sent Hiroki Kuroda to Los Angeles to undergo a shoulder examination similar...

The Dodgers have placed Brad Penny on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Saturday. Lefty Eric Stults , who was recalled today, will start Thursday and replace Penny in the rotation. Had Penny's injury only required him to miss one start, the...

Brad Penny’s MRI is back, and the verdict is “inflammation of the bursa sac and mild tendinitis in his right shoulder”. The Dodgers quickly placed Penny on the 15-day DL (retroactive to last Saturday) and tapped LHP Eric Stults from...

Another game tonight? Man, seems like the Reds play every day. Aaron Harang is on the mound, so that’s a good thing, but if the team can’t hit, what does it matter? They wasted a very nice start by Johnny Cueto yesterday. Hope the same...

...this is what I'd write about the game last night: CINCINNATI - A cool night in the Queen City saw a full moon turn Dodger pitcher Chad Billingsly into Cy Young as he downed the struggling Reds 3-1. It was a night when rookie pitcher Johnny Cueto...

Although Monday's MRI showed no structural damage to his shoulder, Dodgers pitcher Brad Penny went on the 15-day disabled list due to inflammation and tendinitis in his right shoulder.  To replace Penny, the Dodgers added Eric Stults from...

Bad Day For Injuries Dep't: Via David Pinto , ex-Dodger Paul Konerko (strained left side during batting practice), current Dodger Brad Penny (sore shoulder), and ex-Angel Bartolo Colon (stiff lower back) have all hit the disabled list. Konerko (...

Dodgers assistant general manager, scouting Logan White has some positive vibes about the Dodgers' 2008 draft that he expressed to Diamond Leung of the Press-Enterprise. And darned if there isn't some Moneyball residue therein.

Folks are calling the Mets the "laughing stock of baseball" for the way the front office handled the firing of manager Willie Randolph. Of course, the Dodgers have known that designation once or twice or thrice this decade.
