This may be hard to believe, but there was literally nothing to report in the L.A. sports scene yesterday. No, this is not a joke. And yes, I am just as flabbergasted as you are.

Dodgers 10 Nationals 9: No, the heat hasn’t gotten to you, there really were that many lead changes in this game. The Dodgers finally completed the worst sweep in the history of sweeps and head out on the road in an attempt to make it to the […]

RANDOM THOUGHTS
I know what you’re saying.  John Ireland?  The guy is on KCBS and KCAL five nights a week, he’s on ESPN radio every day for three hours, he’s all over the Lakers’ games, and he actually thinks we want more opinions from him?  What a moron. 
I know that’s what you’re saying, because I’m saying […]

I was at David Beckham’s inaugural appearance for the LA Galaxy a few weeks back, and during that game, just minutes from its conclusion, Becks collided with Chelsea’s Steve Sidwell and went tumbling head over heels, grabbing at an already injured ankle.

My normal baseball beat- if you want to call it that- is covering the Dodgers.  They get the bulk of my attention, at least as far as America’s Pastime goes.  But I’m not ignorant of the rest of the league, nor L.A.’s other team.  It’s hard to ignore the Angels, after all, seeing as they’ve […]

Okay, I’ve seen the replay of the Beckham goal.  I’ve seen the reaction of the teammates who made him captain (makes sense) and of the fans who have sucked up Beckham jersey’s like Mickey Rourke does discount coupons for plastic surgery.  I’ve seen attendance figures for Galaxy games on the road.  I read today that […]

The Dodgers have only twice in their history shown a keen eye for young talent: first, between 1979 and 1982 the Dodgers produced four straight Rookies of the Year with Rick Sutcliffe, Steve Howe, Fernando Valenzuela, and Steve Sax. Then, the Blue Crew produced an astounding five in a row from 1992-1996 with Eric Karros, […]
