End Of Motorcycle Chase Features Excellent Play-By-Play Announcing
Tonight a clearly unexperienced motorcyclist led L.A.-area cops on a chase that ended when he ran into a car and took off running. That led to some wonderful commentary from the KCBS chopper man as he painted a picture with words of the gent trying, and failing, to escape. Here’s an alternate angle ...

At Least Four People Shot Near Los Angeles Polling Place [Updating]
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office, at least four people were shot near a polling place in Azusa, California. Captain Jeff Scroggins told the Los Angeles Times that police were dealing with a “heavily armed” shooter and the Azusa PD warned citizens to stay away from the area. Local...
Government Alleges Collusion Kept The Dodgers Off The Air In Southern California<em></em>
Three years ago the Los Angeles Dodgers partnered with Time Warner Cable to create SportsNet LA, a regional sports network that carries Dodgers games and no other interesting programming. The deal was worth a reported $7 to $8 billion over 25 years for the team, by far baseball’s largest local telev...
Where Is Jared Goff?
Los Angeles fans waited a long time for a football team, but they can’t wait any longer for a competent quarterback. As early as the second quarter, and multiple times in the Rams’ 13-10 loss to the Panthers, the Coliseum crowd struck up the chant: “We want Goff!”...
Warriors Get Their Asses Kicked Once Again As Steph Curry's Three-Pointer Streak Ends
For their first week of the season, the Golden State Warriors largely looked like another data point to support the theory that new superteams need some time to gel—a blowout loss to the Spurs, followed by wins over the Pelicans and Suns that were far closer than they should have been. But the last ...
Chicago Cubs Are National League Champions<em></em>
The Cubs just needed to win a game. And so they did, shutting out the Dodgers 5-0 Saturday night to earn a trip to the World Series for the first time since 1945. That was so long ago (how long ago was it?!) that this marks their first ever NLCS win as the World War II-era pennant was a simple matt...
WNBA: Refs Screwed Up, Go-Ahead Basket Should Not Have Counted
With the score tied up at 71 with under two minutes left in the last game of the WNBA Finals, the Sparks recovered an offensive rebound, swung the ball around, and eventually found their star Nneka Ogwumike for a relatively easy turnaround shot. She made it, and eventually would make the game-winnin...
The Cubs Have To Win A Baseball Game
I read this the other day, a throwaway line that made me do a double take: The Cubs have never won an NLCS. Well, sure they haven’t. League championship series have only been around since 1969, and the Cubs haven’t been to a World Series since 1945. It’s a useless, obvious bit of trivia—barely a fac...
Here's Bobby Valentine Lovingly Wiping Crumbs Off Tommy Lasorda's Mouth
Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda recently got out of the hospital in time to attend Game 3 of the NLCS. He’s at Game 5 tonight, sitting next to Bobby Valentine, who was nice enough to assist him with a stray bit of food....
Did The MLB Replay Booth Just Cost The Dodgers A Run?
Adrián González tried to run on Jason Heyward in the second inning tonight. Heyward’s throw took a hop, and barely arrived on time, but the umpire determined that Willson Contreras’s tag got González on the jaw before his left hand grazed home plate....

Old Man Rich Hill Pitched A Gem Tonight
The Chicago Cubs came into the NLCS fresh off a dominant regular season and a soul-crushing defeat of the San Francisco Giants. Since a Game 1 win, they haven’t scored a run. Clayton Kershaw shut them out in Game 2, which is understandable since he’s Clayton Kershaw, but a much more unlikely hero bl...
Case Keenum Played The Best Game Of His Career And The Rams Still Lost
What do you even do with the Los Angeles Rams? Through four games, they were 3-1 with wins over the Seahawks and Cardinals. After last week’s loss to the Bills, they squandered an outstanding effort by quarterback Case Keenum today and now have a .500 record....
Dave Roberts Was Wrong, And It Cost The Dodgers Game 1
It’s easy to blame the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Game 1 loss in the NLCS on Joe Blanton. With the game tied and the bases loaded in the eighth inning, Blanton gave Chicago Cubs pinch-hitter Miguel Montero the gift of a hanging slider on an 0-2 count, and the result was a grand slam. To make sure any hope...
Miguel Montero Is A Hero, Cubs Take Game 1 Of NLCS
The Chicago Cubs took a 3-1 lead into the eighth inning on Saturday, where they found themselves in trouble for the first time all night. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases for the Los Angeles Dodgers with no outs, and so closer Aroldis Chapman got the call to salvage things. ...

Candace Parker And The Sparks Dominated The Lynx To Take Game 3 Of The WNBA Finals
After being trounced by the Minnesota Lynx in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals, the Los Angeles Sparks responded in kind for Friday’s Game 3 with a 92-75 win....
Dusty Baker Panicked
Dusty Baker had a choice to make heading into the seventh inning of last night’s NLDS finale, and both options would have been defensible. Nobody would have blamed him for keeping Max Scherzer, who had thrown 99 pitches and worked himself through some high-stress situations at that point, on the ben...
The Seventh Inning Of Dodgers-Nationals Was Insane And Made Me Feel Insane
The seventh inning of the Dodgers’ eventual 4-3 NLDS Game 5 win was the wildest single inning of baseball since a certain other seventh inning of a division series Game 5 played exactly one year ago today. Where do we even start? Well, we start by saying that if it seemed like everything happened in...
Clayton Kershaw Saves The Day; Los Angeles Dodgers Advance To NLCS
The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Washington Nationals, 4-3, this evening to take the NLDS and set up a date in Chicago with the Cubs. L.A. trailed for most of the game until a four-run seventh put them ahead. Starter Rich Hill got chased in the third inning, but the bullpen held it down (perhaps ill...
