Joe T., always working hard…

By Joe Torosian

Kick it!

How do Dodgers fans feel about the new logo headed their way?

At first I thought it was a joke…but, wow…

Please allow UNIQLO to introduce themselves, they’re a company of wealth and fame…Came to the Ravine early this year and stole the fans’ hope and faith…Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.

(Note: I’m a Mets fan, I’m looking for anything to troll the Dodgers over. It’s all I got.)

Dodgers fans always defend their team, but after a while, doesn’t it become exhausting? Yes, you’re winning— a lot!—but aren’t you losing a little bit of your soul with every turn?

What went through my mind as I saw the Knicks punk the Cavaliers in Game Four—in Cleveland—was whether anybody on the Cavs was angry?

It might have been a stupid and futile gesture given how the Knicks were playing, but someone in a Cleveland uniform needed to be demonstrably upset.

Throw a chair, start a fight, knock somebody down. Instead, Cleveland played with all the fight of a Rhode Island Republican.

When ESPN showed a list of the five longest playoff-winning streaks in NBA history, I was amazed that the Lakers were on it twice.

The 1989 Lakers were tied with this year’s Knicks and the 2001 Lakers for 11 consecutive playoff wins.

Does anyone remember what happened to the 1988-1989 Lakers?

I have to admit, I’ve been disappointed in the last two games between the Spurs and Thunder—especially Game Four.
(I don’t think Chet Holmgren was happy either.)

Tonight’s game should be a battle, and it will only cost you 241 bones to get into the Paycom Center in OKC… of course, the seat will have a Stillwater zip code, but the Jumbotron will keep you updated.

I wish UCLA’s Donovan Dent well in retirement, and I’m curious to see how other players in this NIL Era will follow. Think about going to a major university on a full scholarship, making millions of dollars, and, with wisdom and sound counsel, being set for life at 22. Incredible.

(I should have learned to play the guitar. I should have learned to play them drums.)

Let me tell you the story of the Hurricanes…the team the Canadians came to play…Back-to-back Carolina overtime wins…Couldn’t help but make Marty McSorley grin…for all things Montreal has done…when the Kings could have been the champions of the world.

I started watching the Hurricanes and Canadians, indifferent, and just wanting to see two teams compete. But talk about bringing up buried memories? I hate Montreal, almost as much as I hated Darcy Rota and the Vancouver Canucks.

With that said, the Canadians Steve Shutt needed more ice time last night.

Believe it or not, there was a time, briefly, when Dolphins DT Manny Fernandez was the gold standard in the NFL.

#52—May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth…

The Dude abides…
