Magic Johnson Has A Gay Son, And He Is Very Charming
Until today, we had no idea that Magic Johnson's 20-year-old son, Earvin Johnson III, was gay. We only know this now because someone from TMZ decided to badger Johnson III about the Dodgers, bathrooms, and the Lakers while he was trying to walk down the Sunset Strip with someone who appears to be hi...
Here's Clayton Kershaw's Game-Winning Home Run
Quite a day for the Dodgers. Sandy Koufax made a surprise relief appearance and then Clayton Kershaw beat the defending World Series champions all by himself....
Sandy Koufax Relieves Magic Johnson To Throw Out First Pitch On Opening Day
OK, this was a great bit of theatrics. Just as Magic was getting ready to throw the first pitch to Orel Hersheiser, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly came out to the mound and called for the lefty. ...
Carl Crawford Says The Boston Media "Was The Worst Thing I've Ever Experienced In My Life"
Carl Crawford spent most of two miserable, injury-plagued, lucrative seasons in Boston. But he's a free man, having been shipped to L.A. when the Red Sox decided to blow up everything. He's fighting lingering effects from Tommy John surgery, and may not be ready for opening day, but at least he's fo...
Expensive Cable Sports Are Always Expensiver Than Ever
Today the New York Times's Brian Stelter crunches the (preposterous) numbers and finds runaway sports-programming costs weighing down the cable bill of everyone in America, whether or not they give Shit One about sports. The phrase "impending $7 billion deal with the Dodgers" should give you an idea...
Matt Kemp Now Has A Massive Tattoo Of His Grandparents On His Chest
The Dodgers' outfielder got the custom ink to pay tribute to his grandparents, Doris and the late Vernon Mukes. Vernon had died in November. What's not known is whether Doris is cool with Kemp's decision here. In August 2011, on the subject of Kemp getting any tats at all, Sports Illustrated quoted ...
Andruw Jones Charged With Battery After Alleged Domestic Dispute
There aren't many specific details yet known, but the AP is reporting that former major leaguer Andruw Jones started his Christmas Day in jail after he was arrested on a battery charge early this morning in the Atlanta suburb of Duluth. Seems police were called to respond to a domestic dispute betwe...
The St. Louis Cardinals Just Traded For Subject 7 From The Duke Fuck List
On Tuesday, the St. Louis Cardinals traded infielder Skip Schumaker to the Los Angeles Dodgers for some guy named Jake Lemmerman. Who is Jake Lemmerman? The baseball record says he's nobody special, a 24-year-old utility infielder who's put up decent numbers in the minors and profiles as a solid ba...
Mark McGwire Has No Idea "Why Anybody Would Even Think About" Using PEDs Today

A.J. Ellis's Wife Delivered A Baby In A Car Going 75 MPH
Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis had a very eventful October 12. His wife, Cindy, was pregnant with the couple's third child, and two weeks before her due date, her water broke. Cindy's preferred doctor was half an hour away, so as A.J. drove 75 miles per hour in an attempt to reach the doctor in time, s...
The Dodgers Might Open The 2014 Season In Australia
Australia, while not on the level of Japan, does love it some baseball. The history of the sport there dates back to the 1850s, and the domestic Australian Baseball League is profitable for the first time ever—thanks in part to funding from MLB. The ABL is increasingly becoming a legitimate winter l...
Josh Beckett Claims That A Pipeline Company Is About To Kill Some Ocelots, So He's Suing
An ocelot is a species of wild cat, and there are only about 50 of them left in the United States. Just thought we should get that out of the way, since a lot of you were probably wondering what the hell an ocelot is just now....
Todd Coffey Has A 14-Year-Old Friend Who Has A Kid And That Kid Has Some Interesting Views On Obama
Bulbous Dodgers reliever Todd Coffey signed up for Twitter in March of last year, but he's only tweeted 166 times, depending on whether you count deleted tweets. He has a few of those now, because he or someone with access to his (verified! because of course there are parodies) account went on a ver...
When Vin Scully Starts Quoting Dylan Thomas, You Pay Attention
We can all agree Vin Scully is a national treasure, but if anyone dares to question that status, you just have them consider who else would be classy and confident enough to start throwing out Dylan Thomas lines in the more dramatic moments of a Giants-Dodgers NL West showdown with playoff implicati...
Eric Gagne Estimates 80 Percent Of His Dodger Teammates Were Taking PEDs
"I knew I had the mental attitude to be a closer, it was just a matter of doing it in the major leagues." That was Eric Gagne after he won the 2003 Cy Young Award, following a perfect season in which he converted all 55 save opportunities and struck out 100 more batters (137) than hits allowed (37)....
Magic Johnson Shelled Out $50 Million For The Dodgers
In March, an ownership group led by Magic Johnson bought the Los Angeles Dodgers for an eye-popping $2.15 billion. At the time, while most people were scratching their heads, Magic Johnson was doing cartwheels....
Josh Beckett Got Thrown Out At First By The Right Fielder
Ah yes, the old 9-3 in the scorecard (or the incongruous "J. Beckett grounded out to right" in the play-by-play)....
Maybe The Dodgers' Woes Can Be Linked To The Fact They're Practicing Without A Baseball
The Los Angeles Dodgers have a little bit of a problem scoring runs. They're 26th among all MLB teams, and it's became notable news when they can accomplish something as trite as scoring twice in a single inning. ("A really strange thing," as the Los Angeles Times called it.) So it seems weird tha...
T.J. Simers Trolled The Dodgers, And Matt Treanor Wanted To Fight Him
At the heart of it, a good percentage of sports columns are only about trolling. "What's wrong with Wes Welker?" "Jay Cutler just can't win." These things are written to play the contrarian, and to get a rise, and they tend to work because fans either enjoy being goaded, or can't let the effort pass...
Another Giants-Dodgers Series, Another Fan Assault
Despite the heightened police presence at AT&T Park, a regular measure since Bryan Stow was beaten into a coma in Los Angeles last year, there was another incident over the weekend. Christopher Torii Smith, 26, was arrested after assaulting a fan in the bathroom during Sunday's game against the Dodg...
