Great day to be a fan of baseball!

Wow!

The New York Yankees embarrassed the Red Sox at Fenway!!

Final Score: 20-11

That's pretty sad for the Red Sox but it put a smile on my face since I dislike the Red Sox Nation. Yeah I said it! What you gonna do about it?

That division is done, the Yankees are winning it.

The Red Sox better hope they win the wild card but I doubt they will if the Rangers have something to say about it.

The Rangers remind of last years Rays so don't be surprised if they win the wild card!

Also the Red Sox claimed Billy Wagner from the Mets....after their beating by the Yankees, they need all the help they can get.

The Dodgers also had a great game...or should I say the Los Angeles Randy Wolf since Wolf had a spectacular pitching performance and even drove in all the runs to defeat the Cubs 2-1

That's two games in a row for the Dodgers, 8 more for my 10 game win streak!

Lets do this!!

It is Official....

The National League West is now competitive amongst its own and in the NL.

If you look at the records of the Dodgers, Rockies and Giants, you are basically seeing the best teams of the National League sans the 1st place teams of the East and Central Division.

Nonetheless, its has become a fact that the Dodgers seriously need to step into a new gear and start a winning streak because both the Rockies and the Giants are on their tail.

Any misfortune right now can cause some serious trouble to the Dodgers so I think I should call Joe Torre and give him a motivation speech to pass on the players because this shit is ridiculous. How is it possible that we had the best record in all of MLB and now we are playing sloppy and putting ourselves in danger?

That is unacceptable and must change immediately.

Correction: Will Change Immediately!

According to a few friends of mine in the business informed that many NL Gms believe the Rockies are going to take the West....I call that boulderdash and would like to know the names of the GMs so I can slap them with my Dodger dog and put them in their place.

Now I'm not knocking on Rockies nor the Giants since they are both playing very good baseball but....

This is our year and the Dodgers are going to win it all.

My Try Out for the baseball squad

Well originally I was supposed to go with my bro Don to Lil Tokyo for a festival thing but unfortunately the plans got adjusted last second.

You see, yesterday I got called on to have a try out to play for a division 2 baseball team in Long Beach. I couldn't believe I was actually getting my chance to play again. The coach had called me and talked about needing a new player and he saw my stats from previous years and figured they would give me a shot to make the team. Of course I said yes for the opportunity because it meant a lot to me.

Just to give you a heads up, I have not played actual competitive baseball since March so you can imagine I was a little rusty.

So I'm at the game and I must admit, it's not easy trying to jump on an established team- and it's even more difficult for me since I'm not the most open person either.

Nonetheless, I was given my opportunity to show what I am capable of and I must say, I did an ok job. I was a little disappointed in my performance because I know I could have done a much better job and also because everyone on the team was straight up pro player status but hey, those were the cards that were dealt to me today. The best thing about it though was that we won the game so I was happy about that!

I'm hopeful I'll get a call back for next week so we see what happens.

Well that's all for now folks.

BJs during a Dodgers game...

Lol now I'm sure I got your attention with my headline and I'm sure your scratching your head thinking...is Bruce talking about getting a BJ during the dodgers game? But what I'm really talking about is my experience at the new BJs restaurant in Downey and how I was watching the Dodgers game there.

Now in case you didn't know, a new BJs restaurants opened this month in Downey, right were stonewood mall is located. Before you hop into your car and head out there, let me give you a warning: the place has horrible service! Now I understand that the place is new but in reality there are some things that shouldn't happen at a restaurant- such as messing up seating and having to wait 45mins for your food only for it to be cold but that's exactly what happened to my family today at BJs.

It was a complete joke and quite frankly I don't plan on going there any time soon so I don't recommand it to anyone. Fuck that place- One a scale of 1-10, I give an epic failure and to only add salt to the wound-the dodgers played another horrible game while I was at BJs!

Now the sports part:

We are slowly losing our lead in our division and the Dodgers need to knock that shit out or else they are going to be spending October at home! We had at some point at 10 game lead and now its merely 5.5 lead which in retrospect means that if the Dodgers suffer a bad streak, they can end up seeing themselves trailing another team!

So Dodgers, I'm calling you out! Pick your shit up and play like a champion- LA is due for world series and this our year!

This is our Year!

A few months ago on my twitter account, I made a bold prediction right around Interleague that this year's World Series would include the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees.

As the season continues, I'm still sticking to the prediction. Both teams are leading their division and both teams seem like they are destined to meet each other.

With all the trades that were made before the deadline and the more that will probably be made during the waiver period, I think regardless of which team gets another player, these teams are still going to meet. Many writers such as Jon Heyman and Ken Rosenthal like to wrap it up and give the title to teams such as the Phillies or the Red Sox but I for one don't agree with their reasoning especially after neither of those writers really give credit to any team except one named the Red Soxs or the Yankees so it kind of makes it difficult to trust their reasoning.

I guess you can say I'm bias since I've been rooting for the Dodgers since I was kid but the reality of the matter is that this truly is our year. This years Dodgers remind me of the Yankees that went on to win their first world series under the helm of Joe Torre.

Funny thing that both the Dodgers and the Yankees are being managed under Joe's so its only a matter of time before they both meet.

Nonetheless, I just wanted to write down some thoughts down and end it on this

The only sports writers/reporters that actually know their stuff in the baseball world are: Buster Olney and Peter Gammons. Those are two guys I actually respect and listen to so everyone else can either follow in their footsteps or jump off a cliff and don't waste the time of the fans.
