Day One
Hello friends,
I’m lounging around in a post waffle bar haze with the boys while we figure out where we’re going today…pretty sure it’s Scottsdale in the morning for the Giants vs. Reds and then maybe Seattle vs. Milwaukee for the nightcap. Yesterday was good times, perfect weather, lots of scoring including a bomb by Manny [...]
And So it Begins
You see that clock here? That is when we got into Phoenix last night/this morning. That is not a happy time to be alive, I don’t care how much fun you are having, when it’s 4:30 in the morning really you just want to go to bed. Of course, when dealing with JC you tend [...]
WWNCD? (What Would Ned Colletti Do?)
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 [...]
Have the Mountains Gotten Smaller or is the Water Getting High?
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, [...]
Bring on the Cards (?)
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 [...]
A Watched Dodger Never Clinches
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 [...]
2005 Houston Astros: The Apocalypse
When you think of the Apocalypse do you think of Brad Lidge, Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman? Probably not. Well, maybe the Brad Lidge part is true. But apparently Netflix sees all these things as being fairly similar. There are a lot of things that I like and several of them are baseball, Netflix, and [...]
BG would like the Dodgers to take a dive
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 [...]
The THAT SUCKS Post
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 [...]
Never Say Die (Act 1, Scene 1)
(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 [...]
