Little sporting news

Well, the Dodgers finally, after parting ways with Jim Tracy and sacking ol' Paul Depodesta, named a new manager today...the thoroughly uninspiring Grady Little. This coming just days after the unexpected, yet oddly satisfying, pick up of SS Rafael Furcal. The outlook for the boys in blue next year still lingers around the bleak to shitstorm range, but at least Coletti seems to know what he wants. It's just a shame they couldn't get Brian Giles.

In football news, Liverpool played a rather exciting 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge today, meaning the Reds secured top position in Group G, and will be one of 8 seeded teams in the draw for the round of sixteen in the Champion's League. It's still a bit premature, but with 9 successive unbeaten games, and all those without allowing a single goal, Rafa's lads are looking well poised to repeat as champions of Europe.
