Lakers center Andrew Bynum is not interested in your accolades regarding his 30-rebound game tonight, joining Wilt, Kareem, George Mikan, and Elgin Baylor as the only Lakers to accomplish such a feat. No, he'd rather focus on his poor 7-for-20 effort from the floor....
Peter Bourjos Has Our First Inside-The-Park Homer Of The Season
The world record for fastest run around the bases is held by Evar Swanson, who did it in 13.3 seconds back in 1929. Peter Bourjos of the Angels came within a second of that tonight, and he thought he might've flied out to the warning track. Instead, Josh Willingham took a tumble and Bourjos came ...

The venerable Dodgers broadcaster already missed yesterday's home opener—the first time that's happened in 35 years. According to ESPN, he won't be broadcasting tonight's game, either. The 84-year-old Scully is home resting, and his condition is said to be unchanged from yesterday. [ESPN]...

Of All The Signs Baseball Season Has Arrived, This Is The Best Damn One
Vin Scully launched his 63rd season behind the mic for the Dodgers yesterday, calling Los Angeles' 5-3 win over the Padres and looking damn good while doing it.

Andrew Bynum Is Disgruntled
Andrew Bynum attempting a three on a meaningful possession was funny to most of us, hilarious even. Bynum pouting on the bench and refusing to join the huddle was even better.
