Wow, talk about Manny being Manny. He was just suspended for 50 games for using PEDs.

Dodger fans are among the least knowledgeable and most stuck-up in baseball. Every time I go to a game at Dodger Stadium, I cringe a little bit. Especially when I have to listen to the inane mumbles of the fans at the stadium. Not to mention the un-creative chants — “Giants Suck! Giants Suck!” — even though the Giants just scored three runs. It sickens me.

So now the only player’s name that most Dodger fans can remember is gone for the next 50 games. I predict that the Dodgers will lose 60% of the next 50 games. Suck it Dodger fans!

A few Emerald Bowl post-game thoughts while reflecting in today’s victory over the University of Miami Hurricanes in the Emerald Bowl…

Although Longshore didn’t have the best four years, and won’t go down in history as Cal’s best QB. I definitely don’t think he should have been booed. Many Cal fans, unfortunately, did not know that Riley was injured and thus the chants for Riley to come in were mostly due to ignorance but still… it sucks for Longshore.  I feel bad for the guy.

Somehow I feel like Cal finished the season the same way they started it – with uncertainty in the spotlight. Overall, Longshore’s ten-year with Cal was average at best. But when you look around the corner, Tedford will be setting up Riley and freshman Brock Mansion. Not to mention, Javid Best.

It is being neither inaccurate nor unkind to suggest that Best was the only consistently productive component to Cal’s offense Saturday night. He gained an Emerald Bowl record 186 yards on 20 carries, and it’s safe to say the threat he represented was a factor in the 152 yards Cal gained on its 31 Jahvid-free plays.

The future? Well, with Tedford at the helm, who knows. National Championship? I can’t wait the grueling nine months until next season!
