Cool new look to the DN App
Thank you! Trying to keep it fresher than the Dodger bats right now! 🙂
Wow, impressive changes, yet you still let people post on year’s old articles, which is a colossal waste of time. Maybe tweak that next?
New look here, same look Dodgers after today’s debacle, losing 3-0. That means a snappy 1 – 4 in their last 5 games against teams with losing records. They are trying to not make the playoffs. I’m sure Roberts will come out with pithy meaningless comments meant to fool the media into complacency, you know, like the team is playing. On the verge of getting swept again. This is baffling.
