Frank McCourt is making me put aside my hatred for all things related to the Los Angeles Dodgers for a minute by firing his wife. Awesome.
Manny doesn’t seem to understand what a “clean-up” hitter really is October 21, 2009

Dang it, I forgot my favorite body wash in Los Angeles!
In the top of the ninth inning of Game 4 between the Phillies and Dodgers Monday, Jonathon Broxton was heaving 101 mph fastballs at hitters, trying desperately to keep Los Angeles alive in the postseason. Somehow, someway, shortstop Jimmy Rollins managed to turn on a 99 mph heater, doubling in the game-tying and game-winning runs in one quick, Dodger-killing, monumentally clutch moment. This you probably already know. But do you know where Manny Ramirez was?
Taking a shower.
No, really. Taking a shower. (more…)

Was it a wrong turn at Albuquerque?
Manny Ramirez made a rehab start last night in Albuquerque, going 0-2 and staying mum about his drug violation bust. Thanks for continuing to be a stand-up guy! Seriously, has anyone ever given a damn less about what people think than Manny? The guy is a joke. He does what he pleases, shows up to the park in a uniform so baggy it looks like a kid wearing daddy’s clothes, and apologizes for absolutely nothing. Worse yet: nobody cares. The Dodgers will keep paying him, the fickle Dodger fans will adore him, he’ll hit a bunch of home runs and be in the postseason again. I’d like to be an athlete, because apparently accountability isn’t necessary. Just ask Mark McGwire or Barry Bonds.
A new Kings chant will be born: Ru-Bee-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! (here’s a link for the uninitiated)

My appeal to Geoff Petrie: Please please please please please please please don’t screw this up. The No. 4 pick in Thursday’s NBA draft could be used on a variety of players, including Spanish sensation Ricky Rubio, punishing hybrid guard Tyreke Evans, or defensive specialist Hasheem Thabeet (if he falls that far – not likely). Aside from having awesome names, these three guys appear destined to be difference makers in the NBA. (more…)

To quote Nelson Muntz: “Ha Ha.”
Manny Ramirez has been suspended for using performance-enhancing drugs and will not be able to rejoin the Los Angeles Dodgers until July 3.
Even though the Dodgers have nearly a double-digit lead in the National League West, Ramirez’s sudden departure should make the division race a little closer. No. 99 will return for the Dodgers in plenty of time for them to still win the division, but I’m most excited about watching Dodger fans still salivate over and make excuses for him, and continue their avid and slobbering fellatio of Ramirez.
