I also have a vague recollection of attending one of those cast-of-Happy-Days vs. crew-of-some-radio-station games at the Stadium back in the 70s. The Fonz pitched. Shortly thereafter, I saw the Fonz narrate Peter and the Wolf at the Hollywood Bowl. Ah, the 70s.

If you guys go to the game afterwards, you can walk in and not worry about paying for parking.

The Hollywood Stars game really lost its luster over this decade.

First of all, switching to softball: not cool. C'mon let's use the whole diamond and the whole outfield. People used to play this game like it was the world series. Sinatra used to bat cleanup!

Second, it's too bad we can't get better stars to participate. I mentioned this year's crop is pretty decent but we had some major B-listers in previous years.

Even with the lost luster, the game is a lot of fun!

I should say "still a lot of fun"

Garry Marshall swinging a bat and running the bases? More power to him!

one of them (Pinche Red) is a dead pull hitter plays pretty good 2nd base & hits rockets.

The other is Gil he can MASH!! pure power & get this he plays short stop & has some really soft hands.

They will be there & I'll definitely be there as well (I'll leave my competitive chip & home Jon I promise) all for fun, I'm just wondering if we're gonna play co-ed or what.

Beginning today, DirecTV is changing the FSN Prime Ticket and FSN West channel numbers. FSN Prime ticket will move from 653 to 694 and FSN West will be switched from 652 to 692. The change is only applicable to DirecTV customers and does not affect any other satellite or cable operators.

Luckily, he can't come off the 60-Day DL for another week anyway.

Nomar Garciaparra won't play tonight after experiencing more issues with his strained left calf upon waking up this morning. He likely won't play again until Friday, and trainer Stan Conte was unsure how this would affect his planned activation next week. "It just didn't feel right," Manager Joe Torre said.

And a few others I wouldn't mind seeing beaned with a softball, but that's neither here nor there.

oh o.k...

so is it gonna be softball or wiffleball? I'm cool with either or.

I think the strangest question Simers asked Friday night was about Kareem's anger. Wasn't it over 20 years ago that Kareem was angry? He seems well adjusted compared to Simers.

B-R provided the data, so if this is incorrect, let me know.

by the way, my co-worker friend is going to NY & will probably be posting over at Bronx Banter he wants to ask what to expect when he goes to Yankee Stadium.

he asked me earlier today if I new of any NY Yankees blogs so I directed him to Bronx Banter.

On saturday, all the dodgers minus kent,kemp, had the high socks.

Also, I would say expect to pay 3 times as much money as you ever paid to go to a game.

But if you love baseball history, you do need to go to House that Ruth Built.

58 - Don't forget he also inspired the Renaissance and inspired the Dutch national soccer team.

And Kemp is lucky to be safe on that steal.

On Kemp's steal was it a bad call or a missed tag?

I just noticed that DeWitt's OPS for June is under .500, how bad does he have to get before Torre gives LaRoche a shot?

Whats that from?

Ha, I agree...retarded rumor.

hehehe.

when he is on.

Honestly, that was one of Loney's best swings all year. Absolute bomb.

I hope.

Hiroki Kuroda's MRI results won't be announced until later on tonight, but if he can't go the Dodgers are considering calling up James McDonald from Class AA Jacksonville to make his major league debut.

"considering" doesn't really carry much weight, more wait-and-see.

Ray has yet to sign, and while he has reportedly decided on playing, the Dodgers want to watch him play a little bit up until the deadline to sign to evaluate him better. Cox is going to be a tough sign, and I seem to recall getting the feeling after asking about him back then they're more taking a flier on him. Other signing discussions to watch are with Christopher Joyce, Nathan Eovaldi and Daniel Coulombe. International signings was going to wait until closer to the deadline, but if I don't cover your questions in the paper around that time, I'll drop you an e-mail.

No, there was nothing sexual about that question at all...sickies.
