This is the reason.While he's not the webmaster for Baseball Prospectus, it's refreshing to hear players (especially young ones) are embracing the more complex statistical analysis of baseball and doing away with the bullshit "feel and see the game through an old timers eyes" mentality that is still running rampant in upper management of most teams.Hopefully this is marking a turn in how people

My gods, the internets is ablaze with Manny drama. Some calling for lifetime bans.Others calling (and rightly so) for Manny to face the media himself.Then there is Bill Plaschke, who, in a mere two pages manages to sound like an angry nine year-old girl who didn't get the pony she wanted for Christmas. Plaschke, the master of inane hyperbole, discusses the destruction of a fictional, and

Amidst sucking back Jack Daniels during the recent Dodgers/Giants game, G.T. and I came up with the scenario in which Vin Scully shall depart our planet and become one with the universe and cosmos, once again assuming his role as supreme chancellor of all dimensions.

Kobe is amazing. You know how goot hat night is, not just for Kobe, but for the Lakers? If you took the combined score of Pau, Ariza and Kobe, they would have lost to the Knicks by only 12 points. Total domination by the Lakers. Does it ever surprise me that Kobe can drop 61 out of nowhere? This guy is simply incredible. He's so good that it's become passe to see him drop 40 points.

Take your beating you pussies (and perhaps poor choice of words since it is girls basketball). You're winless in four seasons and now everyone wants to complain about losing by 100 points? Get your head out of your asses.

I am getting sick of hot girls on my TV. Not in a way that I never want to see them again, but it seems like whenever there's fresh blood on any news/sports program, the new "newscaster" ends up being a hot woman with nice boobs.

These guys. The Lakers are so good right now that they remind me of those giant mutants from "Space Jam". Last night the Lakers crapped all over the New Jersey Nets, running them out of Staples Center to the tune of a 120-93. The second unit came out and ran all over the Nets, and it really looks like the NBA has no solution. Christmas and a Laker/Celtics rematch cannot come soon enough. I can't

Here's what I saw:1) After dominating victories against the Rockets and Clippers (twice) and toying with the Mavericks and Hornets, the Lakers continue their streak extending it to 51 games, but finish the season a surprising 52-30. You see, the Lakers became so bored with their constant ass kicking of every other NBA team, they decided to leave the NBA behind and solve many of the world's

I'm tired of the endless Manny talk (News Flash: he is not coming back).

It would be easy to have written off 2008 as a bust as late as August, right after the Dodgers lost 8 games in a row. Hell I did, and we all know how valuable and important my opinion is. It's easy to get dejected at the though of how close the Dodgers were to a trip to the World Series. Hell, I still feel sick at the thought of it. The 2008 season is over for the Dodgers and 29 other teams (

A Dodger blowout combined with an Arizona loss has dropped the "magic number" for a Dodger playoff birth to three. Basically if the Dodgers win 3 more games (not very likely) or Arizona loses 3 games (not very likely), the Dodgers will make the playoffs for the 3rd time in 5 years and the 5th time since the Dodgers won the World Series; a shocking enough statistic.The good news?

I don't mean the Dodgers who have now won 9 out of their past 10, including their 6-2 almost loss at Petco Park, maybe finally showing that they can win on the road after being one of the biggest losers in the league when it comes to playing decently anywhere that isn't called Dodger Stadium (and that list is pretty long). SIDENOTE: that is a great article over at Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness,

Which team are we watching? The team that lost 8 straight to basically derail any hope Dodger fans had at watching, and rooting for, baseball in October? Or are we watching the team that has won 4 games in a row including last night's 8-4 stomping of the Padres? It's a Jekyll and Hyde type scenario with this team and something that I had written about a few weeks back. This team loves swimming in

It ended with this embarassment. Losing 7 straight. Losing 9 in a row on the road. Losing to the F-ING NATIONALS. The allow a man who has a .728 OPS hit for the cycle while the Dodgers manage to score 2 runs. The Nats sport the 9th worst ERA in the big leagues and the 3rd worst batting average IN ALL OF BASEBALL. The Dodgers then proceed to getting their ass handed to them by giving up 17-7 in

On the heels of back to back losses to the Rockies, the Dodgers needed a solid start from their soon to be free agent, and he turned in his third straight quality start, pushing the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the Rockies at the Ravine at about noon time. Shocking everyone who watches the Dodgers, they have actually won two of his three quality starts, because as Dodger fans, we are quite aware

Clearly not.At first glance the Forbes' author seems to know what he's talking about because of the mathematical/logical formula he throws out:"We calculated our rankings by measuring how tied attendance figures were to winning percentage since 1991, and we discounted expansion teams that have come along since. Through the use of multiple regression analysis, we determined how quickly fans

All right, the Dodgers aren't supposed to play this strong into the late season. Right about this time last year the Dodgers were about to spiral out of control like a pseudo celebrity after a cocaine binge, but thankfully while still wearing underwear. I wasn't expecting a 4 game sweep of the very powerful Phillies. Color me impressed. The game to build on was Wednesdays 7-6 comeback (hehe)

...on Andruw Jones. The recently shipped him to AAA Las Vegas after placing him on the disabled list for an irritated patellar tendon. The word is he is to be sent down with his hitting coach, and I know whenever I injure my knee I always require the assistance of a hitting coach to make sure my knee returns to form. The Dodgers are about as good at hiding their true intentions as the Spanish

The Dodgers avoided losing to the Giants much like China avoids bad press, which unfortunately for Dodger fans, isn't good at all. The losses were so bad, it took out two of America's beloved performers and left nobody in its wake. Shocking nobody, the Giants, whose offense is so decrepit and lifeless it should be buried with Chick Hearn's penis, was resurrected like some sort of penis Lazarus

Well to tell you the truth, only one, but it was by the dreadlocked god named Manny, who pummeled a Kyle Lohse (although it's pronounced Loshe) pitch to dead center, to give the Dodgers all the runs they would need. Plenty of props to Juan Pierre, though for contributing a meaningless RBI triple after the Dodgers were up 3-0, proving to everyone but Joe Torre that Pierre offers nothing but stat

At this rate, Manny had better learn how to pitch pretty soon or the Dodger season is pretty much over. Derek Lowe continued his abysmal performance away from Dodger Stadium and stunk up his night ERA at the same time. I guess one of the two had to go, and tonight it wasn't in the Dodgers' favor. When it was all said and done, Lowe had a Tomko-nian type of performance, crapping out fastballs

I have never seen a more balanced, imbalanced team in my life. For the thrid game that I can remember off the top of my head, the Los Angeles Dodgers showed less effort than Estelle Getty in a heart beating competition (too soon?) until the 9th inning, where they scored more than Tom Selleck in the 80s, or realistically, more than I have in the past 26 years of my life: 4 times. Tying the game

IF THE SEASON ENDED TODAY 07.22.08: Who am I watching? The Angels?I disappear for a few days and suddenly the Dodgers become the most powerful offensive team since I traded for Albert Pujols and David Ortiz in my MLB 06: The Show?? After beating the D-Backs “Goo Backs" as I prefer to call ‘em) in the opening game, which was as exciting as Andruw Jones is fat and useless, 8-7, the Dodgers came

If this weekend was any indication of what the Doyers and their fans have in store for the rest of the baseball world, then Frank McCourt needs to immediately sign the entire Ramirez family to 20 year contracts. For the first time in nearly 10 years, the Dodgers have something that they've been trying to achieve since 1988: buzz. Not the spaceman from Toy Story or the soda from The Simpsons, but
