Here in Philadelphia nobody’s thinking about the Los Angeles Dodgers anymore. See, the Phillies just ran roughshod over them in one of the more lopsided NLCS in recent memory. Which means Phillies fans will be focusing on the World Series and the Dodgers will be enjoying an off-season of visiting juice bars and sitting in traffic jams.

The Dodgers’ ouster also gives us pause to bid a bon voyage to L.A. Times writer, T.J. Simers. He is the frustrated clown who took it upon himself to express his disappointment with the Dodgers’ inferiority by ripping Phillies fans after Game 4. Well, he went back to that well in today’s Times, invoking the incredibly creative and witty phrase “drunken uglies” to describe Phillies fans. If there’s anything more infantile than name-calling when you’re hopelessly outmatched, I don’t know what it is.

Well, T.J., we’re sure there are other things to write about in L.A. during the off-season. You can write about gang warfare or plastic surgery. Or maybe you can review some oxygen bars for the Times’ dining section or analyze why L.A. has the highest coke booger rate per capita in the country. Whatever it is you choose to do with your new-found free time, I’m pretty sure it won’t be writing about the Dodgers playing in the World Series.
