Headed out to Arizona for a few days of relaxation in the desert. Went to Camelback Ranch, the Dodgers' beautiful spring training facility to catch a game. I was greeted by a beautiful 78 degree day with a light breeze and a good crowd on hand to see the Dodgers play against the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers offense didn't do much, but it was cool to see my main man Dee Gordon (AKA SkinnySwag9 on Twitter) do his thing up close. I wanted to do a season preview of the Dodgers' chances this year but I think I'll save that for the professionals over at TrueBlueLA, Dodger Thoughts, and Vin Scully is my Homeboy. All I know is that Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, and Clayton Kershaw should have monster seasons, and Dee Gordon is going to steal a boatload of bases if he can get on base consistently in the first place. Go Dodgers! See you all on Opening Day!
