True Blue L.A. is letting its readers vote on the Dodgers' top prospects. The top 10 is done, but they're not stopping there.

Here's a review by Sam Thielman in Variety of Back Back Back, an off-Broadway baseball play that isn't about Chris Berman.
Once again, Itamar Moses has changed the names to protect the guilty. In the writer's fun, structurally clever baseball dramedy "Back Back Back," the offending parties are Raul, Kent and Adam -- proxies for admitted steroid promoter Jose Canseco, accused steroid user Mark McGwire and supposed steroid abstainer Walt Weiss, the Oakland Athletics' three consecutive rookies of the year from 1986-88. Although Moses tries for (and fails at) a lot of pseudo-intellectual dazzle about tradition, history and morality, his real interest is the bounds of friendship, and that's where his play shines. ...
What Catholic affiliation with Westmont? If the article said that, it's since been changed: "Westmont College, a Christian university..."
They make it pretty clear on their website too:
"Statement of Faith
Westmont College is a liberal arts college committed to Jesus Christ and belonging to the worldwide evangelical Protestant tradition."

Cook is also known for stealing jokes. From Louis CK specifically.
Lame.
Wow, just wow.
Hell?
Oh wait, he's not dead yet.
I always assumed Canseco left Weiss out of the book because they were BFFs, not because Weiss was a saint. I guess I my assumption was flat out wrong, and I couldn't be happier about it. Maybe that time Weiss showed up at spring training totally bulked up really was merely from all the weightlifting he did hanging out with Canseco. Maybe Mike Gallego told him some horror stories about how much testicular cancer sucks, and Weiss actually believed him. Yes, I'm sure that's it. Wow, this is great! I feel so much better about the 1989 World Series victory now! Whew!
