Boo Philly, Fox, Examiner.com and John McCain

I’ve been away for awhile, and I apologize for that. I thought Examiner.com actually paid for its bloggers to be clever, but turns out they don’t pay at all. Or maybe I’m just not too clever. … Anywho … B$lim’s back … for what that’s worth …
The top two reasons why FOX is a freaking [...]

NLCS AND THE MADNESS START TONIGHT

By way of Dodger Thoughts we’ve got Inside The Dodgers with a semi-surprising lineup for Game 1 and also the information that Saito is OUT and Kuo is IN for this series. Hamels will be the first lefty the Dodgers have faced in forever but the good news is they put up slightly better [...]

We’re Screwed

Kruky and Eduardo are picking the Dodgers to beat the Phils so we’re F’d obviously. I’m going to spend the majority of work tomorrow dissecting this NLCS matchup because, well, I’m at work and you can’t possibly be expected to sell any temps when companies are shedding payroll, can you? Besides, I end [...]

Trespassing charges were filed today in Los Angeles County Criminal Court today against Dodgers Center Fielder Andruw Jones. The plaintiff in the case is former Major Leaguer Mario Mendoza, the owner and proprietor of the eponymous Mendoza Line. “This is all me,” Mendoza said on the courthouse steps, Dodger Stadium visible [...]

Hump Day

Two links here to get you through your undoubtedly terrible Wednesday afternoon:

I LOVE THE GIANTS

Last night Dodger fans cared more about the Giants than Giant fans did. Stone cold lock box lead pipe guarantee it. I had the Dodger-Pads match up TV and the Giants-Diamondback game on MLB.tv and slowly went cock-eyed from trying to watch both at the same time. Both games featured amazing up-and-down [...]

Such Great Heights

So, this is what first place feels like, huh? A fella could get used to this, that’s for sure. The baseball season is many things but “short” is certainly not one of them, so it’s nice to enjoy the view from the top. And how about Andre Ethier, huh? The Beefcake [...]

LA Wins; Small Children Confused By Result

Yes, folks–apparently it is possible for the Dodgers to actually finish a game with more runs than their opponent. Many of us here at WCBias figured we’d see the second coming of Jesus Christ before this happened but thanks to a strong outing from Chad Billingsley and another monster day from Manny, the boys [...]

Our Last, Best Hope

If only I had better Excel skills/cared more, you’d clearly be able to see the three problems that are currently plaguing the Dodgers at right. The large blue section I’m hanging squarely on the shoulders of the despicable Ned Colletti and his horrifying contracts. The rest of the blame I have equally split [...]
