And There Was Much Rejoicing

Raise your hand if you made it to the end of the Dodger game last night.  Yeah, don’t feel bad, I didn’t either.  It was a long day, man—full of spray painting Ikea furniture and you know, that whole work thing.  So by the time the 12th inning had rolled around the Dodgers showed absolutely [...]

The Ordeal of Manny’s Many Faces

So Manny Ramirez is set to return Friday after his suspension for using female fertility drugs – they don’t allow that kind of stuff in California any more. It’ll be interesting to see what kind or reception he gets around the Majors, from opposing players, fans, media, etc. But that’s not what I’m most interested [...]

THE KING OF POOP

Stu Scott is the worst.  He is worse than the worst.  He is worse than a Chris Berman-Joe Morgan lovechild.  Does he even watch sports?  Do they let him out of the studio just so he can drop nuggets like: “Just think about the players that Shaq has played with: Anfernee Hardaway, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne [...]

Is Homer Simpson a Manny Ramirez fan?

So what if he was hitless — Manny Ramirez’s presence with the triple-A Albuquerque Istopes is already drawing fans to the Dodgers farm club. Check out Homer Simpson here, all ‘Toped up for Manny. Okay, so actually, Homer was rooting for the Springfield Isotopes, the fictional team that nearly moved to — get this — [...]

The Circus is (almost) back in town

It’s July 16rd, 2009.  You’re sitting in the Lower Reserve at Chavez Ravine on a warm Los Angeles summer’s night; bottom of the first inning-Furcal has reached on a drag bunt to the left of the pitcher, followed by the O-Dog ripping a hit-and-run single into right center (Furcal advancing to third).  There’s a buzz [...]

New plan: Give up ambition, take up surfing

Ever since he was stricken by an act of nerd terrorism — in the form of a nasty virus — Pembertonian has been holed up in a bunker, thinking of a plan to extract revenge. But so far the only thing he has thought of is the term Wedgies of Mass Destruction. Perhaps it’s that [...]

WCBias.com’s Dozen “Greatest NBA Players” You Shouldn’t Forget

Slam recently announced its updated list of The New NBA Top 50 players, which brings on some interesting names and drops off a few legends from the NBA at 50 “Greatest NBA Players of All-Time” list – which was unveiled some 13 years ago. In honor of those fallen greats, WCBias brings you the “Greatest [...]

Laker Nation Celebrate!

I’ve gotten some flack for not writing about the Lakers amazing run to the 2009 championship. But really what is there to say, I knew they would do it all year! (honestly there were moments I had my doubts. Just ask BSlim.) The Lakers were tested in the second and third round against Houston and [...]

LAKERS BABY

Now that the dust, champagne, confetti and rioting has settled, let’s look back at some thoughts from a weekend in Vegas, my 32nd birthday (I’m feeling really old after this one) and, oh yeah, the Los Angeles Lakers winning the NBA Finals in five games over the Orlando Magic: I might not love Derrick Fisher [...]

Kobe vs. LeBron: Who’s the best closer in the game?

According to Jeff VanGundy and ABC and ESPN and Fox Sports Net and Co.: Kobe Bryant is the “best closer in the game.” Well, Tuesday night he wasn’t. Two huge turnovers and missing 12 of your final 16 shots (not to mention 5 of 10 free throws) would suggest otherwise. But does this make Kobe [...]
