left my tickets to tonight's game at home and spending the next 95 minutes in the car, and the same feeling upon seeing the Dodgers turn over a lead for the third ...
I’m still pretty bummed about last night’s game,
so I’m going to cheer myself up by picking
on someone weaker than me. And look, I really don’t mean to turn this into the “FireBillPlaschke” blog (hmm… ...
So now that I’ve had 24 hours to
process what happened last night, I’m ready to move

the World Series it will be the lowest rated
in history.
Joe Torre's Dodgers need a win tonight to
keep him from an early jump on his surfing,
Pilates, and other ancillary benefits of his new SoCal lifestyle. Chad Billingsley got rocked in his first start against Philadelphia, while Cole Hamels had a ...
1988 was a year I didn't watch as
much sports as I used to because I discovered
Headbanger's Ball and had hair that looked like this , but I did watch the one-legged walk-off game by Kirk Gibson. (Most likely while ironing a Megadeth back patch to my ...
A handful of orphaned scraps pertaining to the
Dodgers and Phillies as we head into Game Four:

two locations — Hollywood and North Hollywood — making it more convenient to head on over to watch Game 5 of the NLCS, and enjoy a heaping basket of ...
Like I said, Shane Victornio is one hell
of an interview. Following Game 3 of the NLCS,
FOX’s irritating midget, Ken Rosenthal, had a few questions to ask of the centerfielder. And like he said, someone on the Phillies was bound to get hit ...
The Dodgers were stunned by the Phillies' late-inning
comeback in Game 4, but trailing 3-1 in the
best-of-seven NLCS, L.A. has no choice but to find a way to put that loss behind them in a hurry.
Ratings for the NLCS are up dramatically from
last year, while the ALCS is down by nearly
a quarter. The NLCS is drawing higher ratings than the ALCS. So why should TBS be far more pleased with Rays/Red Sox than FOX is with Phillies/Dodgers? Through ...

Ted Williams, arguably the greatest baseball hitter of
all-time, once said, "I think without question the hardest
single thing to do in sport is to hit a baseball". So, why is hitting a baseball so difficult?

here, liveglogging Game 4 of the NLCS with you
handsome commenters. In case you've been in a coma for the past couple of weeks (and if that's the case, welcome back!) the Dodgers are trying to fight their way ...
Matt Stairs says some pretty dirty things after
hitting his big pinch-hit home run for the Phillies.
Heading into today's action, ratings for the MLB
League Championship series have been mixed. The Phillies/Dodgers NLCS
on FOX is up dramatically from last year's Rockies/Dodgers NLCS on TBS, but down from last year's Red Sox/Indians ALCS, which FOX ...
LOS ANGELES -- Considering Shane Victorino's multi-faceted value,
his versatility and his unique blend of skills, it
seems logical that there might be equally many ways to describe him. But there are, in fact, surprisingly few. "He's an energy ...
Wow look at all the racial slurs the
Philly fans are posting. I am not Mexican but
what does race have to do with it? Do they still have slavery over there? ...
Manny Being Manny: Game 3 of the NLCS

We don't have a lot of time these
days, which is why our posts are appearing less
frequently than Sarah Palin on Meet the Press . (Ooooooooooooh shit! Political humor! Bam!) Anyway, I just got home from work and am watching the highly entertaining ...

Torre has now lost seven of his past eight

Angeles Dodgers and Canada's Matt Stairs hit a ball
to the North Pole in a four-run eighth inning, driving the Philadelphia Phillies to a stunning 7-5 victory in the NLCS. As a result, the Phillies ...
The Phillies have had plenty of comeback victories
this season, but the one they threw at the
Dodgers in Game 4 of the NLCS is one few will forget.
With Tampa Bay obliterating the Red Sox 9-1
at Fenway Park in game 3 of an exciting

According to his post-game quotes, Matt Stairs must
be into some freaky celebratory shit. Following the 2-run
blast that made Jonathan Broxton the new old-Brad Lidge, he had this to say: “When you get that nice celebration coming into the ...
The Dodgers want to even up this series
at 2-2. Strangely, the Phillies don't agree with them
on that issue. It remains to be seen if the Phillies will stay unbeaten in Deadspin live blogs, or if Tim McCarver will fall asleep sometime during the ...
The Tampa Bay Rays took a 2-1 lead
in the ALCS and the Philadelphia Phillies take a
commanding 3-1 lead in the NLCS

the work for us. All we have to do
is simply point and laugh at the level of douchebaggery they've reached.
