My Baseball Pupil (part 1)

I’ve spent so much time telling y’all about my pretty cool holidays that I haven’t told you the next part about my being hired as a “baseball tutor” to a kid in Pasadena who wants to make the team at his high school. His parents, who know me through their older son Carter, who hangs … Continue reading My Baseball Pupil (part 1) →

My Birthday (last part)

For my birthday last week, Joyce gave me an amazing present – a necklace just like the one Cody Bellinger wears under his jersey. She also took me out to an awesome steakhouse, decorated the house in a baseball birthday theme, and got me a Dodgers ice cream cake with 26 candles. She also had … Continue reading My Birthday (last part) →

My Birthday (part 2)

To celebrate my 26th birthday last week (it's November 8...make a note for next year lol), Joyce took me out for a great steak dinner. Then we went back to her house, where there were baseball decorations and a Dodgers ice cream cake – which was dope. She’d been acting nervous since we got back … Continue reading My Birthday (part 2) →

So We Won the Pennant

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!) →

The Manny Machado Trade

So the thing they couldn’t stop talking about during the All Star game (told you the game was boring!) finally happened yesterday: Manny Machado has become a Dodger. If you trust lameass Twitter, Justin Turner and Alex Wood are all excited about it. They look all spontaneous about it too. Real spontaneous. Ok, so first thing … Continue reading The Manny Machado Trade →

The Dodgers are in Deep Doody

I don’t mean to leave y’all hanging about the iPhone and Joyce and the flourless chocolate cake, but something’s gotta be said about the Dodgers. And soon. What a mess. It’s not that Corey Seager was so brilliant and carrying the team this year. I already said how I thought that his performance (or lack … Continue reading The Dodgers are in Deep Doody →
