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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

There’s no positive spin you can put on this. Going into the season (and even at the All-Star break) Billingsley and Kershaw were the two horses the Dodgers were going to rely on once they reached the Postseason. Now? Yikes. If the season were to end today I believe they’d play Saint Louis in the [...]

Things were looking pretty good last night at 7:00 pm. J and I (and his lady friend) were sitting in a packed theater about to enjoy District 9 and according to his Blackberry the Dodgers were enjoying a semi-comfortable 3-0 lead over the D-Backs. Everything was as it should be. Flash forward a few hours [...]

(Interior, Night. Santa Barbara. BG is on his cell phone talking with G SLIM. The Dodger game is on the TV behind him)
GREG: So what percent chance are we giving the Dodgers of making it to the World Series?
BRIAN: (Pauses) Two. Two percent. (MATT KEMP comes up as a pinch hitter and strikes out with [...]

We were about ten miles out of the Stadium, heading north on the 5 when James Loney chased Andre Ethier home with a single up on the middle, cutting the Marlins’ lead over the Dodgers to 8-6 and bringing the tying run to the plate when Rick Monday said, “This Dodger team has really changed [...]

Like riding a bike, baby. Raise your hand if you didn’t see this coming:
Top 1st: Cincinnati
- W. Taveras tripled to deep center (almost a HR from a guy who has hit 1 all season)
- J. Hairston Jr. doubled to left, W. Taveras scored (murderer’s row)
- J. Votto singled to deep right, J. Hairston Jr. [...]

Hello sportsfriends. Who you got in the Derby? I know it’s impossible to ever root against Albert Pujols in any way shape or form but I’m going to go with Ryan Howard. Howard’s numbers have been backsliding for the past three-plus years but the one thing he DOES still do is put balls over the [...]
