It is july and you know what that means… it is time for the All-Star Game and – if not mathematically then at least traditionally – we are midway through the season. 

Right off the bat, I’m going to share my thoughts about the Dodgers and the national league west pennant race at the midpoint. 

On deck, I’m going to talk about the 2023 All-Star Game in Seattle. 

And in the hole, I’m going to talk about where the Dodgers’ team name comes from.
