Dirty Sanchez

BSlim — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 05:52:07 +0000

“Absolutely filthy.” That’s how ESPN’s Baseball Tonight crew described Jonathan Sanchez’s no-hitter tonight. And while we don’t write about the San Francisco Giants that often on The Bias, we had to give a tip of the hat to Sanchez, a kid who was 2-8 coming in to this start and wouldn’t even be on the bump if [...]

And We’re Back

Hello friends, how have you all been? It’s been a busy week for me so let’s get caught up with some fun old sports talk. Did you know there is a sport called “tennis“? Yes, it’s true and people play it! The Golf Exec and G Slim entered the doubles draw of the Santa Barbara Open [...]

And today’s favorite to win the NBA title is …

The Fourth of July might be gone, but the fireworks remain in the NBA. Yeah, that’s such a lame AP-style lead. I would’ve gone with something like, “You can’t spell Fourth of July Weekend without W-T-F,” but that would upset the wifey when this blog post gets RSS’d into her Facebook page. Oops. Hopefully that didn’t [...]

No Ariza! Say it aint so!

Artest is replacing Ariza as the Lakers defensive wiz. He brings more muscle, more offense (which we don’t need more of) and more unpredictability. The Laker Nation is well aware that Artest is an improvement in overall skills over the very talented Trevor Ariza. The Laker Nation is also well aware that Artest has been [...]

It’s All Good in Mannywood

The other day Pembertonian was giving me crap, calling me a “homer” because I was talking about how much I love my job while he wallows in the self-pity that comes with working in the newspaper biz. It was the first time in a long time someone could actually call me a homer, because if you’ve [...]

Artest to the Lakers? Time to call off next season

Pembertonian — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 06:31:23 +0000

Oh, snap. I was getting ready to write a snarky blog about Khalil Greene being on the DL for anxiety disorder — you know, saying, like, how can I get that same deal at my work — or perhaps even a blog entry about how lame those baseball game replays are (Why the “due to time [...]

And There Was Much Rejoicing

BG — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:34:11 +0000

Raise your hand if you made it to the end of the Dodger game last night. Yeah, don’t feel bad, I didn’t either. It was a long day, man—full of spray painting Ikea furniture and you know, that whole work thing. So by the time the 12th inning had rolled around the Dodgers showed absolutely [...]

The Ordeal of Manny’s Many Faces

BSlim — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:30:42 +0000

So Manny Ramirez is set to return Friday after his suspension for using female fertility drugs – they don’t allow that kind of stuff in California any more. It’ll be interesting to see what kind or reception he gets around the Majors, from opposing players, fans, media, etc. But that’s not what I’m most interested [...]

THE KING OF POOP

BG — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:24:42 +0000

Stu Scott is the worst. He is worse than the worst. He is worse than a Chris Berman-Joe Morgan lovechild. Does he even watch sports? Do they let him out of the studio just so he can drop nuggets like: “Just think about the players that Shaq has played with: Anfernee Hardaway, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne [...]

Is Homer Simpson a Manny Ramirez fan?

Pembertonian — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 06:44:40 +0000

So what if he was hitless — Manny Ramirez’s presence with the triple-A Albuquerque Istopes is already drawing fans to the Dodgers farm club. Check out Homer Simpson here, all ‘Toped up for Manny. Okay, so actually, Homer was rooting for the Springfield Isotopes, the fictional team that nearly moved to — get this — Albuquerque. It’s not [...]
