Dejected & rejected: A weekend of ejections in pro baseball
It was a weekend of objections, rejections, dejections and ejections around pro baseball. Manny Ramirez’s final AB in a Dodger uniform being a gem of a rejection, ejected after just one pitch (here’s the VIDEO proof). One pitch! That pretty much sums up his tenure with the Blue Crew. That sound you hear? That’s just [...]
Vinny’s Coming Back!
Editor’s Note: A dark day and Dodgers season just got brighter as Vin Scully shocked many of us when he announced this afternoon he IS coming back for another season of “Dodger baseball.” Best news of the weekend! Now back to our previously scheduled post, pre-Vinny’s return announcement. I have nothing clever to say on [...]
Hey, Padres: Lose the Embarassing Camo Uniforms
While Slim’s away on his “I can’t quit you” camping trip, I’ve decided he needs a new nickname. After all, I’m pretty sure he came up with his own BSlim moniker, and that pretty much breaks the cardinal rule of nicknames — that someone else has to come up with them. So I’ve been thinking: [...]
WCBias Brew Exclusive: Sierra Nevada Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale
WCBias has broken some big stories over the years, but this one takes the cake … or in this case, the case. A case of Sierra Nevada Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale that is. Still unreleased to much of the country, WCBias has secured a case of Sierra Nevada Brewing Company’s newest seasonal beer — which [...]
WCBias Brew of the Week: Triple A – A.Lambo’s Amber Ale
Tonight, we’re starting a new feature on The Bias called the WCBias Brew of the Week, since you know we like to brew up and enjoy a cold beer while watching our West Coast teams dominate the sports world. No worries, we’re not turning this diehard Left Coast sports blog into a frat house fan [...]
Mannywood Up to No Good
It’s official: Mannywood is no longer. The infamous Mannywood sign and section down the left-field line, like the player it represents, is MIA at Dodger Stadium. Los Angeles opened its seven-game homestand Monday with a replacement John Hancock Insurance Company sign in its place. Fitting considering the liability otherwise known as Manny Ramirez is nowhere [...]
Week in Review: Report tabs WCBias Happiest Place in the Blogosphere
So that my friends is Morro Rock today. Flat as can be. Not a soul out. Nothing but Fresno on the fogged-in beach. Crappiest, unstokable day in quite some time. But are we upset about it? No, ’cause there isn’t anywhere else we’d rather be than this side of the 101. Life’s just better/happier on [...]
In a class of our own
So finally got me a (hand me down) iPhone last week, along with the slick WordPress app that I’m currently using to write this post. In a way I feel like I’m cheating — posting from a phone, on my couch. I also feel like mobile is dumbing down our writing. 140 characters is becoming [...]
Week in Review: N.Y. State of Mind
What a crazy week. It started with the Fourth of July, which we spent in Cambria watching the waves and fireworks at Moonstone Cove. Both were sick. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my board or get a piece of the waves. Although a day later we got the stoke. Then, on Wednesday, we headed up to [...]
ESPN’s Salary Crunch: Just in case you wanna feel like crap, and hate LeBron some more
ESPN just made us hate LeBron James even more. Meet the Salary Crunch, an EastSidePN.com feature that “breaks down statistics from his 2009-10 season and the playoffs to help translate his full salary” and pisses off all us poor fans who can’t even afford to attend an NBA preseason game. The app allows you to [...]
