Away We Go

All my bags are packed I’m ready to go.  It’s that time of the year again, friends—Spring Training with the boys, 3 days in Phoenix, 4 friends, 6 games, boom.  Sadly the Mexicutioner can’t make it this year but he’s being replaced by G Snide and Doctor J…a fair trade, I suppose.  Even though I [...]

FLO TV vs. NFL vs. World Cup Soccer

So you guys probably remember I was pretty stoked when I got my new phone last year and was able to hook up my FLO TV because sports, sports, sports?  Right?  Of course you do.  In the year since not much has changed–a few crappy channels have disappeared and a few crappy ones have taken [...]

WWNCD? (What Would Ned Colletti Do?)

So this whole divorce thing is going to turn into a pisser, that’s for sure.  With a fair chunk of change committed for 2010 but then almost nothing beyond (how good is this website, by the way?) the Dodgers would seem to be positioned perfectly to make a run at some serious talent and continuing [...]

Best Indie Rock of 2009 (which is to say the best music of 2009)

It’s basically 2010, people and that can only mean one thing-end of the year lists that you don’t care about.  But you know what?  I don’t care about you not caring.  So here’s the 10 albums that made the most noise around the WC BIAS offices this year.  Boo yah.
1. Fanfarlo – “Reservoir” – This [...]

Have the Mountains Gotten Smaller or is the Water Getting High?

Hello friends,
If you’re reading this it’s because you’re a Dodger fan and, like me, you’ve spent the majority of this week feeling like you’ve been kicked in the balls.  And not some glancing blow either but a straight up Adam Vinatieri 50 yard field goal to the nuts.  We spend six months following these guys, [...]

Road Trip: Phoenix

Big boys weekend and with our google-doc based fantasy basketball draft taking up almost all of my free time I haven’t been able to blog it.  Until now.  That’s right, folks-it’s update time.  And sorry, I’m too much of an emotional wreck to write anything about the Dodgers…I just can’t do it.  I have opinions [...]

Bring on the Cards (?)

Come on, did you really think I wasn’t going to watch?  A little five-game losing streak isn’t going to stop me, that post was nothing short of the greatest reverse-jinx of all time.  So now that we’re in we turn our sights to the dreaded Cardinals, a team that scares the living beejesus out of [...]

A Watched Dodger Never Clinches

That’s it, I’m sick of watching this listless team play zombie baseball and I’m not watching until they wrap this thing up and head to the post season.  After another embarrassing loss to the Padres last night I am officially done with it.  I wanted to hear Vinny’s call live, I wanted to watch the [...]

2005 Houston Astros: The Apocalypse

When you think of the Apocalypse do you think of Brad Lidge, Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman?  Probably not.  Well, maybe the Brad Lidge part is true. But apparently Netflix sees all these things as being fairly similar.  There are a lot of things that I like and several of them are baseball, Netflix, and [...]

Where Has the Music Gone? Mason Jennings Live Show Review

Saturday night found the Mexicutioner, Mrs. Mexicutioner, Jess and myself at the El Rey in West LA at a Mason Jennings show.  While he will never be as popular as his former tour-mate Jack Johnson, Mason’s incredible songwriting and easy appeal make him the (vastly, and it’s not even close) superior of the two.  This [...]
