| | rantnrave:// Monday bloody Monday: I completely get self-professed nerd TREVOR BAUER's reason for playing with drones in his free time—everybody needs an outlet, even pro ballplayers—but it's OCTOBER and there probably should be different rules for ballplayers' free time. Make that definitely (warning: link's a little gross). Turns out you can't pitch in the postseason with stitches in your pinky quite as well as you can pitch in the postseason with stitches in your ankle.

And speaking of no: When the DODGERS traveled to CHICAGO to play the CUBS during the regular season, ADRIÁN GONZÁLEZ refused to stay with the team at its usual hotel: the TRUMP INTERNATIONAL HOTEL AND TOWER. "I had my reasons," the MEXICAN-AMERICAN first baseman told the ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER with a smile. (The Dodgers didn't stay there this past weekend, for logistical reasons)... The other, dirtier, Chicago-Los Angeles series: TRIBUNE v. TIMES. | | | - Matty Karas, curator |

| When I tell a friend I'm going to watch Hanoi T&T FC play he offers up a derisory snort. I get my bike fixed and the local mechanic shakes his head and mutters something in a tone that suggests derision, a bartender laughs at me. I am clearly not in on the joke. | | |
