I suspect this win will turn some heads in the national media.

The Last First Pitch of the Regular Season

With the season almost an afterthought, I though I would put the final feather on the National League Western Division Championship hat by posting some pics of a beauty queen throwing out the first pitch from the last day of the regular season. Yhea... I admit it... I'm a sucker for beauty queens and Baseball

The guest of honor is Caitlin Upton, who you might remember as the Miss Teen USA contestant who could not answer a simple geography question for the life of her. I posted her infamous video below. Anyway, on to the pics.

Even More Star Wars Pics

Over the weekend I searched endlessly for photos from Dodger Stadium of Star Wars Night. Yhea, I know, I'm a geek. Anyway, it dawned on me that I had been searching the wrong place a along. So, this evening I went to the 501st Legion, Southern California Garrison website and found the below pics. Go here and here and here for more.

Card Of The Week: Burgeoning Ace

With this past Saturday's game a happy memory I thought it only proper to name a Clayton Kershaw card as this week's "Card of the Week." After all, after nearly a week of trying to clinch the division, Clayton pitched 6 scoreless innings on Saturday to assist in the Dodgers victory. Unfortunately, he didn't get the win, but who cares? Without his stellar performance we could have been forced to wait til the last game of the year to celebrate.

Besides, the card above is pretty bad ass. A confident kid with a steely glare shows off his grip for his four seam fastball, knowing full well that his curveball will make you jump out of your boots. I think it is fair to say that our true young ace has arrived. The card above is his 2009 Allen & Ginter Baseball card.
