When a very popular radio station in Southern California (KNAC) went off the air a few years ago, they played Metallica's "Fade To Black" as the final song - something I always thought was fitting. And now, after a few years of efforts, this site is coming to an end. Sorta. While the archives will stay up, I won't be contributing on a day-to-day basis to it. Instead, as of today, I have

A friend at work and I were discussing the Indiana Jones trilogy [no, not the Crystal Skull] today on our evening break and I was still thinking about it when I got home. When's the last time you've seen this trailer? And now, compare it to the last trailer you've seen. Some difference, huh? FYI, 69 days - and no, that wasn't intentional.

83 days.From ESPN... BEAUFORT, S.C. -- Officials say an alligator bit off part of a golfer's arm as he leaned over to pick up his ball at a private South Carolina course.The man, who is in his 70s, was retrieving his ball from a pond when the 10-foot alligator bit him at Ocean Creek Golf Course in Beaufort County. The gator pulled the golfer into the pond and ripped off his arm in the struggle.

85 days.Oh boy.If you had asked me a few days ago - hell, a few weeks ago - which team I did not want to play in the playoffs, it would have been the Cardinals. It just seems wrong that you finish with the best record in the National League and that's your reward. But alas, that's the situation we're in.If I'm Joe Torre, I give the Lou Brown Major League speech before game time."All right

86 days. One of the nutty things about the utter explosion of the Internet that has taken place over the past fifteen years or so (amazing it's only been that long) is Internet Addictions - and you know exactly what I'm talking about.

88 days. And no, my title isn't about the end of summer - although it was quite a cool air about town today that made me think of the holidays. I'm talkin' baseball. The regular season ended today and with the possible exception of a fairly crappy last month or so, I don't think the Dodgers could have asked for a better regular season. Sure, it's always nice to have guys leading the league in

It was a rough week to be a Dodger fan but for me, it was rough for a different reason. Ever since I realized that we'd be going to the game on Friday night, I had an eye on the schedule for the Dodgers as well as the Rockies to try and judge if it was at all possible for Friday night to be a potential clinch night. In all honesty, it didn't look likely. It seemed almost a lock they'd clinch

90 days. Just got home from the game where I was annoyed on multiple fronts but I'll go into more detail tomorrow. For now? To quote one of the songs from the Rudolph animated special... There's Always Tomorrow.

Call it the start of something new. Firstly, my apologies to those of you who frequent this site on a regular basis and suddenly found it abandoned. I suppose, in hindsight, the least I could have done was drop a note in that it'd be a little while before I posted again but alas, didn't happen. So, I'm sorry to those of you who actually visited this place a lot and no longer got anything out

I know, I know. It's been a while.But this is a good one! I promise!I'm watching the Dodgers/Rockies game right now and Vin Scully just said that the Dodgers haven't been "INSERT CURRENT RECORD HERE!" since 1985. Vinny then says, "Of course, none of these players would remember but when you say 1985, all you can remember is Jack Clark, the St. Louis Cardinals, Ozzie Smith, Tom Niedenfuer, and

Big win tonight. I can feel the near-beer breath of the Rockies on our necks and the... well, that joke is too obvious... breath of Giants right there as well. It was good to see the team relaxed a little bit though because it looked like they've been pressing a lot lately. A lot of swings early in the count. A lot of tense faces. The slam by Martin has to make you smile as he's had an

I'll keep this short. Real short. Who the hell made this schedule so that we're playing the Cards and Cubs while the Giants play Cincinnati and the Rockies play the Nationals? I call shenanigans!

Just a series of quick thoughts on the shared items from my Google Reader.* UFC megastar official for Dancing with the Stars Chuck Liddell was announced as one of the contestants on ABC's Dancing With The Stars. Before they announced it, I wondered if there was anyone they could announce that would make me watch it. After they announced it, I thought, "Huh. Well, that's probably another

Morality and ethics in the world of pro wrestling are a bit... shady... at best. It's a world filled with sleazy stories of questionable believability. If you actually buy into what you read, you would learn that Vince McMahon has helped cover up at least one murder, that Randy Savage is banned from the WWE for having sex with an underage Stephanie McMahon, that Pat Patterson has kept many a

It's hard to give the team much shit for losing a game where they had to watch a teammate be carted off the field on a stretcher after taking a line drive in the head...BUT!SON. OF. A. BITCH!!!!!This team is falling apart before our very eyes and taking this awesome season with them. They've got the Giants AND the Rockies nipping at their heels now with just a handful of games back and the

Well, I wouldn't really call them rumors, I guess. I have absolutely no evidence of anything I'm about to claim.But, in all honesty, if you Google "Bridge School Benefit Rumors" you still get my post from last year so... well, I'm a whore for a post that'll get me quite a few page views! So sue me! Actually, it's a little odd to not have much in the way of rumors at this point in the game.

I read earlier tonight that Bryan Singer is growing close to signing on to produce and possibly direct a Battlestar Galactica feature film. Ordinarily, in a post-Superman Returns world, I'm not sure I'd know how to feel about that.Luckily, Universal has managed to make my feelings very strong about this one.Despite the fact that they're rolling over a super-popular, critically acclaimed BSG

The bullpen continues to freak me out every time they're used (and even more when they're overused.)I'm too tired to look it up right now but the number of Broxton blown saves sure has to be piling up in a hurry.
