Oh my lamb! If it isn't bad enough that our beloved Dodgers are looking to extend their championship-less streak to 20 years, the Lakers...The Lakers...what can we say? That was sick, knots forming in the stomach type television watching. HD did not help me in that debacle. Actually would've preferred to watch that second half in some rabbit-ear antenna inducing, snowy, Low D. Give me the old, chunky graphics that take up half the screen to cover up that mess.
Oh this is tough. Coming from a childhood in the 70's and 80's with the Dodgers being regular, National League pennant contenders, winning a couple of World Series titles...The Showtime Lakers winning titles every other year...Hell, The L.A. Raiders were even regular winners...Oh, it's tough times right now in L.A....Thank you, Lord, for Pete Carroll or we'd really be up crap creek.
But, despite it all, regardless of all of our sports suckiness this year, we still hear it....BEAT L.A....BEAT L.A....BEAT L.A. Which to me says...
L.A. is the best place to be and everyone else wishes they could be us.
