Around The Web: Serious Broxton Is Serious

The woman in the picture above is Erika Garza. Roberto from Vin Scully Is My Homeboy identified her for me. She's the chick that I posted about here. :o

Vin Scully Is My Homeboy: Jonathan Broxton is so serious. I absolutely love the picture Roberto took with Broxton. :o

Dodger Thoughts: Jon disputes the notion that the Dodger bullpen is overworked. I agree. It's pretty hard to overwork a 13-man staff in the first place though.

Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness: Totally agree with this post, because I saw it too and had the same reaction. I know it's busy at ESPN, and it's hard to keep up with every detail on every team, but they have a stats department that exists for the sole purpose of making these talking heads look smart, right? May I suggest that they use it?

True Blue LA: Should we worry about Billingsley's workload? Yes. But we should worry about all pitcher's workloads. Unless they suck, then whatever.

Reflections Of Blue: Brandon is one of the latest Dodger bloggers to post about getting press access.

Sons Of Steve Garvey: Orel also gets press access.

Sons Of Steve Garvey: Ronald Belisario and Brent Leach rookie hazing! Yes!

Beyond The Boxscore: Statistically speaking, the Dodgers are indeed the best team in baseball...just not be as much as many Dodger fans think.

Beyond The Boxscore: Statistically speaking, the Dodgers have also had the second weakest schedule in baseball. I believe that, but it's only really relevant when it comes to the playoffs. Sure, the Dodgers would have more losses if they played in the AL East, but they don't.

ESPN: Bill Simmons with a long-winded, but great article about NBA officiating. The only thing I disagree with is the penalty box thing, which is just dumb. :o

Deadspin: Drew Magary has a special message for the 2009 college graduates. Personally, I highly prefer the 2008 version.
