LAst Night's Action: Buss-Ted!

Drunk Buss Driver - Laker owner Jerry Buss was popped for a DUI yesterday in Carlsbad. There are a lot of questions yet to be answered: Who was the 23 year old girl he was with? Why would a baller like Buss be driving a station wagon? Will Kobe's demands to bring back Jerry West be fulfilled? Hmmm, maybe this little ordeal was just to distract us from that last question.

Dodgers 10, Nationals 0 - The Dodgers found a fun team to pick on. Only one team in the NL has a worse record than Washington, and by the end of the series they could be at rock bottom. Juan Pierre connected four times, tallying nine total bases -- about twice as many as Brad Penny gave up in 6 and 1/3. Penny improved to 7-1 and dropped his season ERA to 2.06. He helped his own cause by going 2-for-2 at the plate and scoring a run.

Angels 4, Mariners 1 - The Halos only needed 128 minutes to put away Seattle. It looked like a long one when Ervin Santana allowed four baserunners on 26 hits in the first inning, but he turned things around quickly. Ichiro Suzuki singled and scored in the first frame, extending his hitting streak to 22 games.

Elsewhere - LAist loves unusual sports. Chariot racing, anyone? ... American Gladiators is back on TV, thanks to the same family of networks who bring you the National Spelling Bee ... Some sports fans like cheese on their nachos, others like to chase their cheese down a giant hill ... Is it bizarre that Rampage Jackson parties before his fights and wins, while his opponent rips it up after getting punked?
