the voice of summer
being a dodger fan is an experience like no other, because we have vin scully, and listening to him, even something as simple as a little two minute introduction for joe torre's press conference today, gives me goosebumps. you can check out the full press conference on the dodgers website, or you can listen to scully's intro here.
"Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant good morning to you. Welcome to Dodger Stadium, on what the Irish would call a soft day. Although the calendar says 2007, you really do get the feeling that this is 2008, cause this is the beginning of a year we're all really looking forward to. We'll be celebrating our golden anniversary of this pioneering franchise, that came to the golden west fifty years ago, and over those years winning nine pennants, and five world championships, with seven managers, two of whom spent forty two years at the reins. Both of those managers are now in the Hall of Fame, and now, today, we welcome the eighth manager in the history of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was a formidable foe, and he has now become an integral part of the Dodger family. As a player, well, let's look at it: nine times an All Star, Gold Glove, MVP winner. And as a manager, as we all know, twelve consecutive years in the playoffs, and four World Series. So we firmly believe that his day will come, when he goes to that pretty little town in northern New York called Cooperstown. That'll happen. He embodies all of the values that define the Dodgers at their best, and as someone who has known him for so many, many years, I can't tell you how happy, delighted I am that he will finally wear the Dodger uniform. And it's only right, since the roots of the franchise are also his roots, the Borough of Churches, the Borough of Brooklyn."

light at the end of the tunnel...or is that a train?
For all the acclaim Jeff Tedford gets for resurrecting the Bears, he's also a study in the dangers of running an offensive-minded program. If your QB gets hurt or has a bad day (as happened the past two weeks), your championship hopes are ruined. This happens to Cal almost every year.

Cal is reeling, going from No. 2 to No. 18 after two straight losses. Now it's off to take on unbeaten Arizona State, but history says Cal will bounce back: the Bears have never lost three straight under Jeff Tedford, bouncing back from consecutive losses by winning by an average of 15.6 points.

don't you love the life you kill...
i never thought i'd say this, but thank god it's monday; the weekend from hell is finally over. and it started off so well, too. i drag my ass out of bed at seven in the morn (and you know how hard that is for me when i'm at home) to watch man city beat birmingham city and stay third in the league. and then it all went down hill from there. cal loses again (!@#$%^&*), raiders drop a close one, the galaxy miss the playoffs, and the lakers lose to the friggin clippers. how i wish i didn't care.
