Lakers gacked against the Mavericks last night, not that anyone will remember the game result in a few weeks.

I spent some time walking around Santa Monica Wednesday night, checking out the bars to see the interest in the Dodgers-Cardinals game. You probably won’t be surprised to find out that there were almost as many people watching the first Lakers preseason game as Round One @ The Ravine. That said, most of the bars were actually half-empty. Interest in the NLDS here is tepid at best, per the not-too-distant disappointments. There’ll be very little reax unless there’s an NLCS to be endeavored.

I’m in the left field bleachers tonight for Manny’s return in San Diego. Already pregaming with a couple-six Coronas on Mission Beach. You can follow me here on Twitter.

I’ll be tweeting throughout the day on Manny and Tommy Lasorda’s legendary lesbian porn collection. (Including pics!)

Have seen a ton of Dodger fans down at Gaslamp already.

Hopefully they’ll make bail by batting practice!
