In honor of Vin Scully returning to the Dodgers....
A real treat for Vin Scully fans everywhere. A kinescope of Game Seven of the 1965 World Series between the Dodgers and the Twins.
It was recently announced that Vin Scully will return to the Dodgers in 2016 for one final season. Scully has done Dodgers games since they were the Brooklyn Dodgers. Scully also did the 1984, 1986, and 1988 World Series for NBC.
Scully is a national treasure. He only does home games now, so the chance to hear him are winding down.
Thank you Vin, for one more season.

Prince Fielder Attempts To Enter LA Dodgers Locker Room (Full Verison)
Milwaukee Brewers Slugger Prince Fielder was denied in his postgame attempt to challenge reliever and former teammate Gulliermo Mota, who hit him with a pitch in the ninth inning of Los Angeles' 17-4 victory over the Brewers on Tuesday night.
Mota drilled Fielder with two outs, apparently in retaliation for a pitch that hit Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez in the seventh inning of Los Angeles' highest-scoring home performance in 30 years. Home plate umpire Marvin Hudson immediately ejected Mota, who slowly left the field while Fielder voiced his anger.
When the game ended, Fielder charged through the underground tunnels at Dodger Stadium to the door of the home clubhouse, shouting obscenities with many fellow Brewers trailing behind. Several security guards and teammates Bill Hall and Casey McGehee prevented Fielder from entering the locker room in search of Mota.
Here is the whole scene in it's entirety below.
Here is what a calmed down Prince said a day later.
In a 13-3 game, Manny Ramirez'a uniform was grazed with a pitch from reliever Chris Smith. In a 17-3 game, Prince Fielder got hit in the ribs by a pitch from Mota. This unneccesary bean ball war could have ended a whole lot worse than it did. Prince could have gone after Mota and charged the mound, which would be understandable. Fielder was on the wrong end of a rout, and then takes an unnecessary shot to the ribs.

Cubs Win, But At A Big Price
The Cubs ended up winning 5-2, but they lost star pitcher Carlos Zambrano, who was ejected while arguing a call at home plate. I think if Zambrano does not stick his elbow out, he would have been all right, but he stuck out his elbow, and he's tossed.He then throws a baseball into the stands, (Safety Issue) so Zambrano may have just added to any fine he will recieve.
How long will Zambrano be out? I will say three starts. I'm not going to speculate on the fine.
The Cubs called up the hottest bat in the Pacific Coast League, Jake Fox. He will primarily be used as a bat off the bench. Fox was leading all Minor Leaguers with a .423 batting average, 17 homers and 50 RBIs in 40 games.
The Cubs move on to play the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are reeling without Manny Ramirez.

"Mannywood" Closed Down For 50 Games
Mannywood will not return for a while.
Manny Ramirez has become the latest person to be suspended for Performance Enhancing Drugs.
Manny became suspended for 50 games following use of a Performance enhancing drug.
Manny has released a ststement. Here it is below.
"Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons.
"I want to apologize to Mr. McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, Mr. Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. LA is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation."
The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently 13-0 at home this season, a new Major League Baseball record. Manny Ramirez seemed to homer in just about every one of these games, so we will now see how the Dodgers will respond to this setback.
On to Manny himself: He claims the doctor said it would be okay to give him. He should have checked with Major League Baseball to determine if the drug was okay. Of course, that is if Manny's excuse is legit, but I don't think it is.
The Dodgers are going to miss Manny Being Manny, at least for a while.

Is Jeff Kent A Hall Of Famer?
Jeff Kent announced his retirement yesterday.
The 40 year old slugging second baseman may be set to head into Baseball's Hall Of Fame.
Jeff's Stats are very good. They include:
Jeff winning the 2000 NL MVP Award.
Jeff is the only second baseman to have 100 or more RBIs in 6 straight seasons
He is also the all time leader in Homeruns by a second baseman, passing the great Ryne Sandberg.
I think Jeff Kent is a Hall Of Famer. Will the voters agree?

The Philadelphia Phillies will be playing in their first World Series since 1993. Cole Hammels, the Phils ace pitcher, helped get them there by winning game five in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

My NLCS Preview
Manny Ramirez Is On Fire!
The NLCS starts tonight on Fox. The Los Angeles Dodgers come in after Sweeping the team with the National League's best record during the regular season, the Chicago Cubs. The Philladelphia Phillies come in after beating the Milwaukee Brewers in four games. This series will be awesome. Here is a look at some of the key factors for the game.
What does the Season Series Tell Us? Home Field Advantage will make all the difference in this series. During the regular season, in the two series these teams played, the Home team Swept the opposing team.
Will The Phillies Pitch to Manny Ramirez? Will the Dodgers pitch to Ryan Howard? Choosing when to pitch to a batter and when to swallow your pride and give someone an intentional walk may be a huge key in this series.
Will The Dodger Pitching be as Shut down as it was against The Cubs? If so, the Phillies will be in trouble.
Who Are The Gamechangers for their Team? For LA, It's Manny Ramirez. For Philly, It's Ryan Howard.
The Los Angeles Dodgers just won their first postseason series since 1988. The Phillies are in the NLCS for the first time since 1993, when they went to the World Series.
I Can't wait for this series. It's gonna be a blast!
MY PICK: LOS ANGELES IN SIX GAMES

The War Is On Between Tim McCarver And Manny Ramirez
Tim McCarver just tried to get people to remember who he is by commenting on Manny Ramirez's tirade before he left Boston.
McCarver called Ramirez's Actions "Despicable."
Here Is Manny Ramirez's response to what McCarver said.
Here is McCarver On ESPN Talking about what he said and why he said it.
What did people remember McCarver for doing before this game? Tim McCarver hit a "Grand Slam Single" On our country's Bicentennial. A "Grand Slam Single" is when a batter hit a grand slam but subsequently passed the runner ahead of them on the base paths, which according to the rules of Major League Baseball causes the runner who passes his teammate to be called out.
When McCarver was asked how he hit the Grand Slam Single, he Replied "sheer speed".
I personally believe McCarver is yapping because he is trying to get more people to watch the NLCS. He feels like he needs to add extra drama to it, as if it needs any more drama.
