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 [...]

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 [...]

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 — Albuquerque.

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 [...]

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 failure [...]

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.)

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:

According to Jeff VanGundy and ABC and ESPN and Fox Sports Net and Co. … Kobe Bryant is the “best closer in the game.”
