Yesterday-
Dodgers: For most of the season, Derek Lowe has been given all the support of a thirty year old mattress, so Wednesday night’s 2-0 shutout loss at the hands of the D-Backs in Arizona shouldn’t have been a surprise.  At least the Blue, who have had a habit of making everyone they face look […]

Y E S T E R D A Y…
Royals 12, Angels 4: No, those were the Angels on the field Monday night in Anaheim. The same Angels currently dominating the AL West, the same Angels who many think are a solid bet to hoist some hardware late in October. But after watching them […]

Upon deciding to write this post about the Los Angeles Galaxy, the first piece I’ve ever written about soccer in the City of Angels, my subsequent actions marked other two “firsts.”
1) I read an article about the team. Apparently, they have a dude on the team named Edson Buddle. I don’t know a thing about […]

Kobe Bryant is a lot of things. He’s the most talented player in the NBA. He’s likely the most polarizing. He’s perhaps the most tone-deaf superstar on the planet, but still a marketing icon. He’s a guy who has taken away the summer vacation of almost every basketball writer on the planet.
He is also, apparently, […]

Yesterday
Dodgers- There’s a reason Grady Little moved heaven and earth- well, Hong-Chih Kuo and Brad Penny, really- to get the latter hurler in the rotation at some point during the Diamondbacks series. Result? Penny picks up his 10th victory while helping fuel an 8-1 win over the Snakes. Penny’s four hit/one ER […]

Yesterday-
Angels: When the MLB schedule overlords hand over a sacrificial lamb, it’s best not to argue and just take advantage. And with their 4-3 win over the Pirates at The A, the Angels did just that. Not even the eye-popping sight of K-Rod blowing a save could distract them, as Erick Aybar […]

Yesterday
Dodgers - For the other 161 games, nobody would ever take Dioner Navarro over Russell Martin. But for yesterday’s 4-3 loss to the Devil Rays, the ex-Dodger backstop Martin replaced got the last laugh. His 7th inning solo jack to break a 3-3 was a nice one fingered salute to the team that […]

This just in: Kobe has announced he’ll stay, but only if the Lakers resign Smush Parker to a max deal.
Kidding.
Although given how emphatically clear Kobe’s made his trade wishes (with Ric Bucher now predicting Bryant will sit a season before donning a Laker uni), it wouldn’t shock me if he made that demand. If […]

Yesterday-
Dodgers: The following is not a misprint- the Los Angeles Dodgers won their second Interleague baseball game in three tries Thursday night in Toronto, 8-4. No, don’t tell us to stop pulling your leg. We’re not kidding. Perhaps knowing that Russell Martin delivered the big blow will make it seem more […]

Yesterday:
Dodgers-The Blue, heretofore allergic to Interleague road games, whupped up on the Blue Jays north of the border, 10-1. Big days all around for Luis Gonzalez, native son Russell Martin, and Brad Penny, who pushed his way into a tie for the most wins in the NL with nine. Unfortunately, the news […]
