Free Manny Ramirez Shirts!

Get Your Free Manny Ramirez T-Shirts Today! OK, so they’re not exactly “free,” but we couldn’t get Billy Mays to pitch these things and had to do something to get your attention … You either love him or hate him, even more so now that Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez has been suspended 50 [...]

A Fire Outside

Sooooooooo, yeah.  Still goin’ strong my friends.  We’ve got a packed living room these days, the GF’s mom is here AND we’ve got J who, thanks to his recently conferred PhD., will be known as The Good Doctor from here on out.  We’re enjoying the Dodgers first inning outburst (thank you, Matt Kemp) and watching [...]

Oh Manny, has the Circus come to town

Driving home from work today I noticed a yellow tent on the side of the road. No joke, there’s some ghetto-ass circus that came to town a couple days ago. And that circus reminded me of a post I wrote a few months back when Manny Ramirez came to La-La-Land, and how I said Manny [...]

Dodgers 1/8th Season Update

How good is this Dodger team?  As long as they’re playing the NL West, we’ll probably never know.  Their record inside the division is a sparkly 17-6 but outside of it they boast an ambiguous 1-2 mark (they dropped a few in Houston, in case you’d already forgotten).  Over the weekend I threw a worst-case [...]

Fighting Fire With Firewood

Yesterday I had one of the worst fantasy days of all time.  My men (and I use that word “men” loosely) combined for 0 HRs and a sickening 36 ERA.  36!  Not even at my very, very worst in slowpitch softball have I ever even approached a 36.  The day started ugly with Kerry Wood [...]

Happy Easter

Negative surf out there today my friends, might as well stay home and watch Augusta play like it’s freaking Golf N Stuff .  Oh, and while you’re wrapped up in the Tradition Unlike Any Other, you may have missed this bit of managerial magic by the semi-maligned Joe Torre, I’ll break it down for you [...]

3 Outs is 3 Outs is 3 Outs

Today was a shit day.  Instead of being nestled comfortably at my desk surrounded by copious amounts of early baseball games I was stuck in a godforsaken conference room in Thousand Oaks being lectured along with 20 or 30 other poor saps about how the economy really isn’t that bad and we can sell temps [...]

Getting My Life Back in Order

Yeah so if those little small girls in those Windows commercials can make a panorama photo of their forts or whatever then I can make one of some spring training stadiums by God.  Here’s a few more for your viewing pleasure because I am a PC and I am 30 years old. You know who [...]

Adios Phoenix–Day 3 of Spring Training

The Mexicutioner, John B and myself left Phoenix yesterday and endured the 7 million mile drive back to civilization and immediately jumped into our 2009 Fantasy Baseball draft, a 5 hour affair held via the magic of the interweb.  I’ll get to everything else on a later post but here’s what happened during our final [...]

Road Trip: The One Where We Go to Spring Training

So a while ago we all decided to do the Spring Training thing because baseball.  Let me tell you, Arizona is hot.  I live in Santa Barbara man, it gets to 80 degrees like four or five times a year and this whole sunshine thing is sweet sweetness.  Last night The Mexicutioner and I drove [...]
