So baseball season got off to a good start on Thursday when the Dodgers beat the Giants 8-1. Friday night’s game showed us that Muncy can still be a monster when it comes to hitting balls out of the park (did y’all see that totally gangsterass catch one of the cutouts made on the second … Continue reading The Rest of Opening Weekend

Dodgers Opening Night (at last!)
Baseball’s back. Well…kinda. The Dodgers played the opening game of their 60-game 2020 season last night, and beat some serious Giants butt 8-1. Kiké Hernández was on fuckin fire, and went 4 for 5 including a homer and 5 RBIs. Seager doubled and scored twice. Dustin May did a good job on the mound, jumping … Continue reading Dodgers Opening Night (at last!)
The Opening Day that Wasn’t
So me and Keaton were ‘celebrating’ what would have been Opening Day by watching what they had to show on the Dodgers Channel. It was some warmed-over interviews with the team from spring training…and it felt like they were mocking us. Although there were some interesting things (and we got to make fun of Mookie … Continue reading The Opening Day that Wasn’t
The Uncoolest Thing in Baseball
Ok, so there’s one thing you don’t do in sports. You don’t cheat. This means you, Houston Astros. I realize that the pressures to win something as big as a World Series are huge and that sometimes people can be led astray by that, but you have to realize that the thing that suffers the … Continue reading The Uncoolest Thing in Baseball
Dodgers Update
So what about the Dodgers, since it’s not all about my having my portrait painted by a famous artist me and Joyce met when we were staying with Justen Hunnycut a couple weekends ago in Santa Barbara? They certainly are tempting me to count me some chickens before they hatch: it’s June 4th and they’re … Continue reading Dodgers Update
First Report on the 2019 Dodgers
Turner got a look at my blog last week and asked why I haven’t written anything about the Dodgers yet. He’s got a point. So here’s the first Dodger report courtesy your shortstop correspondent, Hunter A. W. Block. So they started out well, then they fell into a pit, and now they’ve won 5 in … Continue reading First Report on the 2019 Dodgers
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)
The Dodgers: Last Week of the Season
What’s gonna happen to the Dodgers? I’m glad that the season didn’t turn into the huge disaster it looked like it was going to be back when it started, but us Dodger fans are in for a nervous four days. The magic number for winning the division and getting into the post-season is 5. Still. … Continue reading The Dodgers: Last Week of the Season
Joyce Takes Me to a Dodger Game (last part)
So Joyce bought us tickets in the third row of Dodger Stadium last week, right behind home plate. In those blue padded seats you always see in the background on the TV. I was a little nervous about going to a ballgame with Joyce. I’m nervous about it whenever I go to a game with … Continue reading Joyce Takes Me to a Dodger Game (last part)
