World Series Game 5. It sucks.

So I guess that’s that. The Dodgers lost the World Series. I don’t usually get depressed, but this has me seriously bummed out. I didn't hang out at Keaton’s after Sunday’s game and take it out on the punching bag. I didn’t even feel like another beer. In the interviews after the game, the guys … Continue reading World Series Game 5. It sucks. →

World Series Games 3 & 4

So I met this dude from Cal Tech at Rocco’s on Friday, and, yeah, I was right: Einstein did say that insanity was repeating the same experiment and expecting a different result. Remember what I said about how insane Dave Roberts’ managing’s gotten in the World Series? Putting Ryan Madson into Game 2 after he … Continue reading World Series Games 3 & 4 →

World Series Games 1 & 2

So the Dodgers are down 2-0 in the World Series. Shit. Maybe we can look at it this way: they were up 2-0 last year and lost the Series, so now that they’re down 0-2, they’ll win it. The numbers may be against them, but teams have come back from 2-0…and now they’re back at … Continue reading World Series Games 1 & 2 →

So We Won the Pennant

So they’ve made it to the World Series again. I high-fived a bunch of dudes last night at the bar and walking down Green after Kershaw got that last out, and watched the team celebrate with champagne and beer… I wonder if I’m the only person who got the feeling that their hearts weren’t completely … Continue reading So We Won the Pennant →

Brewers 2, Dodgers 5

Sometimes I wonder whether anyone out there is reading my blog. Now I know the answer is yes. And I know who’s reading it, too: The Dodgers Maybe Brian Dozier likes to keep his eye on southerners’ baseball blogs and he found my post about Game 4 of the NLCS. Then he went around the … Continue reading Brewers 2, Dodgers 5 →

Brewers 1, Dodgers 2 (in 13!)

I wanted them to call last night’s Game 4 of the NLCS a stalemate so we could turn off the TV. Not a tie. A stalemate. Like in chess. The game finally did get exciting…in the bottom of the 13th inning. Don’t get me wrong: I’m glad as heck that the Dodgers won, but, dang, … Continue reading Brewers 1, Dodgers 2 (in 13!) →

Last Friday at the Volcano (last part)

Last Friday (when the Dodgers won Game 2 of the NLDS), I was hanging out at the Volcano, the bar where Keaton’s one of the bouncers. While I was taking about the game with a Parrots teammate and two of his buddies, a fight broke out between a latino dude and a USC boy. Keaton … Continue reading Last Friday at the Volcano (last part) →

Last Friday at the Volcano (part 1)

View Post I’ve been busy with Joyce and work (we’re short a supervisor at the store since Sasha decided to go to school full time), so I haven’t had too much time to hang out at the bar Keaton works at. I like the place – it’s way better than Rocco’s, the beer is decent, … Continue reading Last Friday at the Volcano (part 1) →

Apartment 643 (last part)

After getting him the first ice cream sundae of his life, it looked like I was going to get my Hickory roommate Slater laid for the first time too. Y’all know how I said he was looking at the all the ice cream when he walked into Udderly Delicious for the first time? Ok, that’s … Continue reading Apartment 643 (last part) →
