Struggling center fielder dismisses jeers from Dodger Stadium crowd, saying 'you play for the team, you don't play for the fans.

After being stymied by former Round Rock Express starter Chris Sampson last night , the Dodgers have scored 2 runs in their last 27 innings. While Andruw Jones isn't the sole Los Angeles player responsible for this offensive drought, he's the only one repeatedly being called "Tubbo" by the LA Times' T.J. Simers (link swiped from Repoz and Baseball Think Factory ).
Saturday night the fans in Dodger Stadium booed Jones' name when the starting lineup was announced.

Los Angeles Times columnist T.J. Simers deserves credit. No matter what you think of the guy, he's not afraid to get into it with players in the locker room, and he's not afraid to write exactly what he thinks. Which is why he can write columns like this , in which he calls Andruw Jones "Tubbo" and "clueless" after having a summit with Jones in the Dodger clubhouse. Awesome: Without the fans, I said, there's no reason for you to be here in Los Angeles playing baseball and no way you're getting paid $36 million over the next two years.

Soooooo…Paxson is going to interview Avery Johnson for the Bulls gig. You know, take your time and stuff, Pax. Like with Mike D. To the morsels…
Speaking of Mike D, I dare link to the hated one- Jay Mariotti -for a great take on the whole Bulls situation. I'm not saying I agree with it all, but it's worth reading. "Since when did we become Sacramento? And why are the Bulls so sluggish and wishy-washy about every big decision that comes their way? Aren't we all tiring of Kevin Garnett going to Boston, Kobe Bryant staying in L.

Now this is the way to quit. Simple announcement, no ambiguity, definite schedule for withdrawal. Annika Sorenstam, who announced on Tuesday that she's leaving the LPGA Tour at the end of the season, is employing an exit strategy the Bush Administration is envying. Oh, and you can also bet that she's going to stay retired.
Sorenstam brought notes with her but, for the most part, did not refer to them. She drew a parallel to Brett Favre, but was not overcome by emotion as the Green Bay Packers quarterback was when he announced his retirement in March.
