Chicago White Sox defeats LA Dodgers 6-1. Thanks to being pulled over in Century City on Pico for a fix-it ticket, I missed the first hour of the game. To really pour it on, the game only lasted 2:05. It was a pitcher's duel until the eighth inning when Derek Lowe left everything up and the Sox took him to task. The Sox scored four in the inning to take a 6-1 lead. Against......

LA Dodgers defeat Cincinnati Reds 6-1. Can the Dodgers play the Reds everyday? Seriously. Not only do the Dodgers score more than one run, they give beleaguered starter Derek Lowe run support. Pitching on a strict count, Lowe pitched only 5 1/3 innings making 85 pitches giving up only one run on three hits with six strikeouts. James Loney helped the cause hitting a solo homer and an RBI double. Dare we wish for......

Boston Celtics defeat LA Lakers 131-92. Did anyone tell the Lakers they had a game to play? It's over. The Lakers made it interesting in the first quarter being down only four points. After that it was all Celtics. It was a beat down of epic proportions, and I still don't know what to say. LA Dodgers defeat Cincinnati Reds 3-1. Should it count as breaking news when a Dodgers win a game? Given......

Rocco Mediate Still Smiling. AP Photo/Chris Carlson Tiger Woods wins US Open. I hate watching golf, but Monday's playoff round in Torrey Pines was the most compelling golf since Adam Sandler tackled Bob Barker. So the 72 holes over the weekend wasn't enough to settle things between Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate. Even the 18 playoff holes weren't enough. No, they played a sudden death hole where Mediate finally caved in hitting a bunker......

LA Lakers over Utah Jazz 120-110. The same script from game one followed in game two. The Lakers pulled away from the Jazz in the second quarter, but the Jazz made it close with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Lakers woke up and snatched the win convincingly in the final minutes. The biggest difference was in this game Kobe Bryant received his MVP trophy before the game and played like he......

LA Dodgers (19-14) defeat NY Mets (16-15) 5-4. This game had a little bit of everything. Horrible starting pitching, shaky defense, home base stolen, an inside-the-park homer and great relief pitching. Hiroki Kuroda was in trouble right from the opening gun. He amazingly came out of it relatively unscathed going 3 1/3 innings with eight hits and four runs two of which were earned. Just when the Mets looked like they would win the......

LA Dodgers (18-14) over NY Mets (16-14) 5-1. If Rafael Furcal continues to produce how he has so far this season, he will hands down be the MVP of the league. Furcal led things off for the Dodgers with a lead-off solo homer on a 0-2 pitch, and NL player of the week Matt Kemp added a two-run shot in the fifth inning. But none was given as much fanfare as Blake DeWitt's first......

According to Peter Abraham of The Journal News, Grady Little will be fired as the Dodger manager in favor of former Yankee manager Joe Torre. Don Mattingly is expected to follow Torre here to Los Angeles as bench coach. All of this can happen as soon as tomorrow. Let me just make it clear that this is still unconfirmed. Torre, 67, rejected a one-year $5 million contract from the Yankees last Monday. As most......

Fuck Bill Plaschke. Fuck TJ Simers. Fuck the LA Times. Fuck Grady Little. Fuck Ned Colletti. Fuck Frank McCourt. Fuck Jeff Kent. Fuck the Dodgers. When I read Plaschke’s column Wednesday morning that basically put Matt Kemp in the hangman’s noose, my blood started to boil. How does he have the unmitigated gall to scapegoat Kemp and let the veterans have a free pass just because they have “experience”? This entire mess became public......

Chivas USA 3, Galaxy 0 - It looks like the British are in a fighting mood. After being tackled hard from behind, Beckham yelled at Jesse Marsch, his attacker (err, actually defender ... no, make that midfielder). That turned into a shoving match between the teams, which grew into a full on scrap involving at least one solid punch and a nasty headbutt. Mr. Prettyboy Beckham wasn't involved in any of the physical altercations, though......

On a day of magnificent feats when Detroit Tiger’s 24-year old pitcher Justin Verlander pitched a no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Dodgers managed to top that. They exploded with three consecutive homers on three consecutive pitches against the New York Mets in the second inning. Don’t get me wrong. Verlander’s no-no was absolutely amazing. In the ninth inning, he was still pitching strikes at 102 mph. And given the blustery conditions at Comerica......

With the Dodgers playing a rather boring series at the Washington Nationals, it’s time to take care of some housecleaning. All Star Voting Yesterday, Major League Baseball released the preliminary results of the first period of fan voting for the All Star Game. The fan votes will determine which position players start the game. According to the results, My Boyfriend is running a distant fourth to the fiery whoring gambler Paul Lo Duca (former......

The major league baseball season begins tonight, with the St. Louis Cardinals beginning their title defense against the New York Mets. And, as always, with Opening Day comes optimism. Fans across the country have convinced themselves that this year the (insert local team here) will challenge for the pennant and make a strong push in October. Next year is now. In no area of the country is this Opening Day optimism felt more strongly......

Just in case we need to remind you, despite being the highest priced dog in the park, the Vegetarian Dodger Dog still exists and in the same place as it has been for the past few years (we tested this theory last night, it works). It is only sold in one spot in the whole park, so just repeat this mantra and you will be fine: Level 7, Section 3-5. Level 7, Section 3-5.......

The Daily News throws a one-two punch at New York (top 10 list below) as tomorrow begins the National League Division Series against the New York Mets. Got any to add to the list of why LA beats NYC? 10. We have Disneyland. You have Coney Island. 9. We have the Pacific. You have the East River. 8. Our women wear bikinis. Your women wear dresses with sneakers. 7. In the winter we ski......
