And There Was Much Rejoicing

Raise your hand if you made it to the end of the Dodger game last night.  Yeah, don’t feel bad, I didn’t either.  It was a long day, man—full of spray painting Ikea furniture and you know, that whole work thing.  So by the time the 12th inning had rolled around the Dodgers showed absolutely [...]

The Ordeal of Manny’s Many Faces

So Manny Ramirez is set to return Friday after his suspension for using female fertility drugs – they don’t allow that kind of stuff in California any more.
It’ll be interesting to see what kind or reception he gets around the Majors, from opposing players, fans, media, etc. But that’s not what I’m most interested [...]

The Circus is (almost) back in town

It’s July 16rd, 2009.  You’re sitting in the Lower Reserve at Chavez Ravine on a warm Los Angeles summer’s night; bottom of the first inning-Furcal has reached on a drag bunt to the left of the pitcher, followed by the O-Dog ripping a hit-and-run single into right center (Furcal advancing to third).  There’s a buzz [...]

Road Trip: BG and G Slim go to a Dodger Game

Yeah, I’m on record as saying I wasn’t going to a Dodger game this year until Manny came back but with the girlfriend out of town and G Slim and I with nothing better to do, Chavez Ravine was on the docket last night.  Thankfully there was minimal traffic and we got a prime spot [...]

Dodgers, Blah Blah Blah, Whales

Oh my gosh, what day is it even?  Tuesday?  Where does the time go?  It was a big weekend for us on the West Coast-besides G Slim’s 30th B-Day bash in San Diego we also saw the Dodgers cap off a great roadtrip and move up to the top of the Power Rankings, plus a [...]

MannyWouldn’t

I guess it was just a matter of time.  While I wait for my FREE MANNY shirt to arrive (sadly they don’t have XS so I can show off my guns) I stumbled upon (ok fine, I followed a link on Alyssa Milano’s Twitter page) this site and apparently we are NOT alone in the [...]

Q: Tied game, extra innings, late. You’ve got dinner reservations and you need the game to end. What to do? A: Bring in Guillermo Mota

Need a quick and painless loss?  Relief is just one phone call away.  That’s right folks, Guillermo Mota will make sure you make those swanky seats at Nobu or whatever restaurant is the hot spot these days.  I know there were no other options there at the end of the tired and weary Dodger bullpen [...]

Good News: Lakers aren’t doing women’s fertility drugs

Well, there’s finally some good news coming out of LA: No D-Fish, no problem for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers took hold of the series with Houston, taking a 2-1 lead tonight with a 108-94 victory.
Kobe Bryant dropped 33 on the Rockets, and for the second straight game Los Angeles played with grit – a [...]

Spring Training, Day Two

Dia de dos of our trip to Phoenix started very similar to day one–we again had to wait for John B to take care of his “errands” which apparently involved some sort of high finance, and by high finance I mean something that you can’t just do at an ATM.  Who actually goes into banks?  [...]
