The Circus Leaves Town
And then he was gone. Manny Ramirez is scheduled to be in the starting lineup tonight for your Chicago White Sox (but for whatever reason wasn’t). When it was announced he was leaving Sunday evening (or as they call that in internet time “one billion years ago”) I’m sure you went through your own personal [...]
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 [...]
BG Breaks His Legendary Silence On the 2010 Dodgers
Worst season ever. I really don’t want to say anything bad about the franchise that made me love sports but I hate everything about this season and now, thanks to a few ill-advised trades, I might end up hating future seasons as well. If you want a rundown of these despicable moves just click to [...]
BG’s Fan Fiction: Rihanna Goes to a Dodger Game
Rihanna was pacing around her Beverly Hills mansion one Thursday afternoon when she decided she was bored. She was tired of riding on her pet unicorn and she couldn’t find her diamond encrusted, solid gold iPhone to call up her friends so instead she paced around her room and tried on different leopard and zebra [...]
BG’s Fan Fiction: Chad Billingsley Plays Catch With His Neighbor
Chad Billingsley sat inside his dark apartment and stared warily out the window. He had the curtains drawn and almost no light entered into the dark void. Chad was busy applying for jobs posted on Craig’s List, brooding silently and clutching a mug of green tea which had gone cold thirty minutes ago. He’d taken [...]
BG’s Fan Fiction: Ned Colletti’s Rollerblade Q & A
Ned Colletti was not happy. The Dodgers were in the middle of a terrible swoon, his prized possession (and the man who had completely and totally saved his job by being run out of Boston) was on the DL and he had a terrible case of moustache gout flaring up. There was only one thing [...]
BG’s Fan Fiction: Art Imitating Life
Frank McCourt was busy sweeping the sand off the front porch of his beachfront condo in Malibu when the batteries went out on his radio. He heaved a weary sigh and propped the broom in the corner of his rented space and walked inside to look for an extension cord. He had been listening to [...]
The Way in Which We Roll
Don’t you think the first day of the baseball season should be a national holiday? Judging by the amount of text messages, phone calls and emails I received yesterday regarding the exploits of Yunel Escobar, Jason Heyward and Garret Jones I’m guessing productivity was already at an all-time low for those in internet land so [...]
MLB Season Opens as Expected — On the East Coast
Major League Baseball threw out the first pitch tonight and guess who ESPN featured on the ol’ boob tube: you guessed it, Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees. The defending champion Yankees blew a late 7-5 lead to fall to the rival BoSox 9-7, but that’s not why I’m writing about it. I’m writing [...]
