Hoffman to LA?

You ever have that one guy on your team who’s not a bad player but you don’t always trust him to come through? Looking back on a lot of my softball teams I think I might actually be that poor bastard…there’s no rhyme or reason as to when I’m going [...]

And There Was Much Rejoicing

AT LAST, OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!
It was with huge smiles, open arms and massive wood that I read this story, which means the words “the Dodgers” and “Andruw Jones” will never be uttered in the same sentence again. Unless, of course it’s something like, “The Dodgers should have never signed Andruw Jones [...]

Are you there God? It’s me, BG

Hi God, it’s me, Brian.

I know we haven’t been talking much lately but I was wondering if you could help me out with something. You see, I really, really, really would like to see this happen. I know you’re not really a bargaining kind of guy because you’re all-powerful and there’s nothing [...]

The State of the NL West

Being the best team in the NL West is sort of like being the top bullfighter in Alaska at this point. The Dodgers have re-upped on Raffy Furcal and that is sadly all it takes to make them the semi-favorite in the mild, mild West. There are still plenty of Free Agents to [...]

Help Wanted

That’s right folks, the economy may be in the crapper but there’s still plenty of great jobs to be had. This job posting looks pretty straightforward to me except the caveat that these little ladies are required to work some early mornings. Why, exactly?

Dodgers run by Clowns

Has this been the worst hot stove season ever for the Dodgers? By now we’ve all become accustomed to the Yankees and Red Sox throwing money at the top free agents (and in the case of CC, Burnett and potentially Tex throwing it wisely) but now the Dodgers are falling behind even [...]

Ruination

As someone who works (and yes, I use that “work” word in the loosest of possible senses) in the Staffing industry I generally find myself reading through the Business section of the pitiful Santa Barbara News-Press looking to see what sad cross-section of the nation’s workforce is the next to be chopped. [...]

Billingsley Breaks Leg Slipping on Ice; Southern California Asks: What is this “Ice” Stuff?

Watch that first step, Chad. It’s a doozy. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s cool that you want to kick it old school in Reading, Pennsylvania but seriously man there are plenty of nice spots you can hang out in the off season where you’d never have to shovel your driveway [...]

Time To Update the Ol’ Resume

Put your college degree to good use below. Just leave your grits at home. A Picnic Ambassador? This is probably the only time in the entire history of your life where you will see this job title.

World Serious

Hello folks, I’m sure I speak to our dozens of fans who have been missing the regular posts the last few weeks. The truth? Total and absolute depression about the Dodgers. I got over the Game 5 roll-over pretty quickly but I had absolutely nothing left in the tank as far as [...]
