Los Angeles Sports Anchor Suggests Vin Scully Should "Get His Shit Together" Live On-Air
Vin Scully delighted us all in announcing this weekend he'll return for a 64th season in the Dodgers' broadcast booth. We're looking forward to another season of Vin telling humorous anecdotes and bowdlerizing profane managerial outbursts....
Adrian Gonzalez Homers In His First At Bat As A Dodger
You know what they say about first impressions: always hit a three-run home run in your first at bat with a new team if you'd like to make a good impression. Hours before, Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Nick Punto were on a plane en route to Los Angeles as the trade was made official. Gonzalez did not ...

It Sure Looks Like Adrian Gonzalez Will Be Hitting Cleanup For The Dodgers Today [UPDATE]
There's still no official word from the teams, but the Dodgers sure seem to think that Adrian Gonzalez will be moving to Los Angeles. He's batting cleanup and playing first base according to the lineup posted by Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes. Buster Olney also tweeted that Gonzalez would be in the ...
Reports: Boston Red Sox And Los Angeles Dodgers Agree To Crazy Trade
Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett appear to be on the move. While the teams have yet to officially announce the trade, barring any medical snafus or no-trade clause invocations, this crazy deal appears to be a crazy done deal. ...

That Crazy Red Sox/Dodgers Trade Will Never Happen, But Could You Imagine? [UPDATES]
Carl Crawford cleared waivers a couple weeks ago. Josh Beckett is on the wire too. Today, it was reported that Adrian Gonzalez was claimed by the Dodgers. The Red Sox want to get younger and cheaper. The Dodgers have the means, motive and opportunity to go for a title now. These are all the ingredie...
KCAL Forgot Which Teams Were Playing At The End Of Last Night's Giants-Dodgers Game
KCAL broadcasts Dodgers games exclusively. They aren't part of some Fox Sports conglomerate that might have a crew handling Rangers and Astros or Rays/Marlins game in the same day or anything like that. They have a unique graphics package and, of course, Vin Scully....

Matt Kemp's Tirade Was Too Obscene For One Young Pirates Fan [UPDATE]
In the middle of Andre Ethier's second-inning at-bat today in Pittsburgh, Matt Kemp (who was in the dugout and had struck out the previous inning) was jawing at home plate umpire Angel Campos, who warned Kemp at least once to cool it. (The first thing you can hear here is Campos telling Kemp, "I ...
The Famous Photo Of Juan Marichal Beating Johnny Roseboro With His Bat, In Color
How many times have you seen the AP photo of an enraged Juan Marichal hammering Dodgers catcher Johnny Roseboro with his bat. Unfortunately, the AP still shot mostly in black-and-white in 1965. So Reddit user "BradyIsAnElitePunter" took a whack at colorizing the picture in Photoshop. (Click to see t...
Old Man Bobby Abreu Is Heading To Triple-A
Bobby Abreu, designated for assignment by the Dodgers after the trade deadline, agreed today to join the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes. He probably doesn't mind all that much, because he'll still make the $9 million the Angels guaranteed him back in 2009. Maybe he'd feel embarrassed being released f...
Vin Scully's Bowdlerized Translation Of Jim Tracy's Meltdown Tonight Is One Of Broadcasting's Great Moments
Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully is a national treasure for myriad reasons, but we saw just one facet of his abilities tonight, when umpires declared a liner off Shane Victorino's bat to have been trapped by Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler. It would have been the third out of the inning, and it ...
Vin Scully Trying To Describe The Twitter Sounds Exactly What You'd Expect It To Sound Like
I love Vin Scully, and he deserves all kinds of credit for doing his darnedest to keep up with the times at age 84. That said, I'd also love to hear how his producer tried to describe Shane Victorino's tweet when the producer suggested Scully ought to read it on the air, which Scully does in the vid...
Now Jerry Hairston Has The Ball, Now He Doesn't
You really have to watch all of the video below to figure out what the hell happened here. Chris Young led off the Diamondbacks' ninth by blooping a ball down the left field line. Young figured he could make it to second before Jerry Hairston could throw him out, so off he went. But, somehow, the ba...
The Dodgers Spent Way Too Much Money On A 21-Year-Old Cuban Defector Because They Are Crazy
Yasiel Puig is the man in the blurry image—a still frame from a video—up there. I could have found a cleaner video, I suppose, or I could have stolen an image from another website (though that's against copyright law, and we at Deadspin love copyright law). But anything sharp or clear wouldn't effec...
San Francisco Police Dressing Up As Dodger Fans Is Totally Not Entrapment Somehow
The Dodgers and Giants meet up again at AT&T Park starting tonight, which means there will be fights between Dodger and Giant fans in the stands, in the parking lot, in the gift shops probably. It just happens, it's been this way for years, and this blood feud will surely outlive us all. However, ci...
Dee Gordon Ends A Dodgers Threat By Running Into A Ground Ball
For an instant, it looks like the Dodgers are going to execute a hit-and-run, and that they might even score on the play. Dee Gordon breaks for third, and Bobby Abreu punches a ground ball toward the hole, right to where Alberto Callaspo is no longer positioned because he's broken toward the bag....
Defendants Accused Of Beating Bryan Stow Admit Being Involved In Altercation On Secret Jailhouse Recording
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge George Lomeli has determined that the two men accused of beating Bryan Stow into a coma, Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood, will have to stand trial for those accusations. In making his decision Judge Lomeli relied heavily on a secret recording from a cell as ...
Kevin Millwood (And Five Other Guys) No-Hit The Dodgers
The Mariners appear to be slowly coming around to this whole "offensive" part of baseball. They just abused the Rangers to the tune of 31 runs in two games about a week and a half ago and they are just above league average in runs scored. The boys in dark cyan still have some work to do, though—the...
Wearing A Fish Bib And Singing An Italian Song Did Not Give Tommy Lasorda Or Lou Piniella A Heart Attack, TMZ Says
This was the scene Sunday evening at Bamonte's, an Italian restaurant in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn that's been open since 1900. Bamonte's is a wonderfully old-school red-sauce joint—try the stuffed peppers appetizer and the eggplant rollatini—and it's not uncommon there for a couple of ol...
Vin Scully Can Even Make Bobbleheads Seem Cool Again
Major League Baseball's enduring fascination with bobbleheads is, by and large, played out by now, but we'll grant an exception for this August 30, when the Dodgers hold their first-ever Vin Scully Bobblehead Night and give away this reasonable likeness of the Hall of Fame announcer, now in his 63rd...

Guy In Underwear Gets Head-Stomped By Three Men, Apparently Near Petco Park [UPDATED]
The fan fight that currently has the attention of the media in Los Angeles involves four men who were arrested yesterday for beating a guy in the parking lot at Dodger Stadium. But what about the one we've posted above, which goes from ridiculously funny to downright disturbing right around the 1-...
