At this point the Dodgers have been from LA for 54 years, but that doesn't mean both cities can't still cling to that history like the last helicopter out of Saigon. The California team will wear throwback Brooklyn uniforms for six games this year, and are having the fans vote on which style the team should wear. Perhaps the team just wants to be allowed in city diners again. more ›

Though they left Brooklyn just before the 1958 season, the L.A. Dodgers (a name that now makes as much sense as the L.A. Lakers or the Utah Jazz) just can't let the people of Brooklyn be. Brooklyn Burger's logo features the iconic "Brooklyn" lettering used by the team when they were still on the east coast, and now the Dodgers are suing owner Alan Buxbaum, accusing him of trying to convince customers that the burgers were made by the baseball club. The baseball club in L.A. Let it go guys, you're not from Brooklyn anymore. more ›

A baseball fan threatened to kill a stranger who was wearing a Los Angeles Dodger's hat in a Brooklyn diner yesterday. According to the Post, 38-year-old suspect Marcos Esteban — who was born 14 years after the Dodger's abandoned Brooklyn — menaced the Los Angeles fan with a boxcutter for wearing the wrong ballcap to the eatery, which is near the corner of Myrtle Avenue and Skillman Street. more ›

Caveat emptor (or calorie emptor?): You can't sue your diet book just because the diet you followed caused you various heart troubles. NYC-based U.S. District Judge Denny Chin threw out a lawsuit where a man sued the Atkins estate and tried to get warning labels put on Atkins merchandise. The plaintiff, Florida resident Jody Gorran, claimed that the Atkins diet caused his cholesterol to go from 146 to 230 in six months and prompted him to have heart troubles and require an angioplasty. Per the AP, Judge Chin, though, said that the book was not an ad but a guide for a healthy lifestyle. Plus, Gorran admitted to consuming "large amounts of pastrami and cheesecake, foods the average consumer expects may increase cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease." Ooh, "cheese" is in the word "cheesecake," it might be totally within Atkins parameters! Chin even put a footnote about his own "much simpler diet, which can be described in four words: Run more, eat less." more ›

Ng declined to comment on the incident, saying that only that there was an incident at the hotel and she had spoken to Duquette. She was also an assistant general manager for the Yankees, and her former boss, current Yankees GM Brian Cashman, had stepped in between Ng and Singer during the exchange. When Mets General Manager Jim Duquette met with Singer, Singer tried to excuse his behavior by saying his "low-carbohydrate diet" combined with alcohol caused him a chemical imbalance. A Mets source says, ""That didn't wash with Jim and it sure as hell won't wash with [Mets owner] Fred [Wilpon]. Plain and simple, there's no excuse for that kind of behavior, and there's no saving this guy." The irony is that Singer supposedly has "ties to the Pacific Rim" - which we take to mean, is good at scouting Japanese players. more ›
