Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Welcome

At last, SB Nation has a Dodger Blog. As a longtime follower of Athletics Nation, I'm proud to be your host on this site. Throughout the season we'll be posting stories, thoughts, rants, and other material concerning the Boys in Blue.

It is my hope that you will find entertainment here, as well as an outlet for your own comments, analysis, and, of course, rants. We invite you to join in the game threads that we will open for each game this year, post diaries, and comment back to the posts.

We'll be critiquing the players, the media, the management, the game itself--all is fair game. It is my sincere hope that this provides some additional entertainment and enjoyment for Dodger fans, and contributes to the community of Dodger blogs.

Go Blue!
Michael Nicks

All I can say....
At least they are represented.... As a ** fan I naturally dislike the Dodgers, but I am here to ** out ** on what is ** on in the Dodger dugout.... If you're wondering what's with the stars, read the signature....  Welcome and we hope you fulfill your purpose.
I keep my intentions here unknown....

I have been reading
Athletics Nation and enjoying it but was always a little disappointed that there was not a Dodger blog on SB Nation. I'm looking forward to the season and reading the site.

Welcome to the SB crew!
Looking forward to the season. I'll think about adopting a NL team; adding another 162 games to the schedule. :)

Welcome!
The SB Nation baseball circle is now complete, yada yada yada...:) As a lifelong Giants fan, I cannot wish the Dodgers luck. Buuuuuuuut, since Mike Scioscia was my favorite catcher during my childhood, I guess I can find it in my heart to welcome you and wish this blog the best going forward. Good luck, and I wish you the best on this endeavor.

Good Job Nick
And you need not worry about MartianBiasedGiantsFanatic -- he's a Giant fan. (and a pretty good knowledge guy about all things orange and black) meaning he's crazy as a loon and smells like garlic fries.

Now that i've given you props, how bout scorin' me some freebies at Taillights Stadium.  I wanna schmooze with Dodger Celebrity fans who do the tomahawk chop when they play Take me out to the ballgame
