I’m in L.A. so I half-considered going to the ESPYs last night. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED’s Arash Markazi, with this Tweet, made me glad I didn’t.

Tonight tho I will be @ legit event here in Lipstick City. I’ll be posted in MannyWood for #99’s return and Tweeting about it all night in real time from the Left Field bleachers. You can follow my Tweets and photo posts here.
I’ll have more stuff from the game on SbB Friday, so long as my Kevlar vest isn’t compromised in the postgame parking lot.

Brooks, please stop referring to LA as “Lipstick City.”
That has got to be lamest “nickname” ever given to this wonderful city.
As a Midwest guy, I know you’re not a native Angeleno, but come on…seriously.

Brooks, please refer LA as “Lame City”…ahhh, just kidding! We in the rest of the country could care less what you call LA, it’s a freak show no matter what you call it!
