I hear she works cheap and her parents aren't all that bossy on the set of the photo shoot
So, does anyone know anything about the Dodgers' promotional schedule?
Except it will be at the Hollywood Bowl.
It does not appear that the schedule for promotions has been set yet. I'm sure the promotions department knows it, but they probably want to doublecheck with the suppliers of all the doodads. Or else I can get another stadium blanket commemorating the Dodgers World Series championships in 1962 and 1966.
Sorta.
It's like a half Giambi.

>> ''Knock on wood, I hate to even say anything. I was pain-free,'' he said. ''I'm feeling free and easy. Stamina up, arm strength, too. (But) we're not out of the woods.''
Schmidt used all of his pitches during the session, split into two segments of 15 pitches each not counting a few warmup tosses. <<

Dodgers third baseman
The contenders: Nomar Garciaparra, Andy LaRoche
>> If common sense prevails, then LaRoche will win this job. The Dodgers' struggled all of last season to get adequate production from third base, and LaRoche gives them their best chance to reverse course in 2008. LaRoche is a career .294 AVG/.374 OBP/.524 SLG hitter in the minors, and last season he was even better than that at Class AAA Las Vegas. Garciaparra, meanwhile, is injury prone, very much in decline, and defensively challenged at the position. Unless LaRoche is in the lineup every day at third, the Dodgers will have trouble competing in the tough NL West. <<

>> "My thing is, I put the uniform on every day, I've got to be prepared to pitch every day," Proctor said. "That's the bottom line — I want to be in the game every chance I get. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Sometimes you need a breather." <<

And Ken Caminiti just blasted a home run in an eerily quiet Astrodome. For a playoff game the place looks awfully empty - was it always like that? (Too big to fill up for baseball)
And Luis Gonzalez singles for the Astros!
That's not a playoff game you're watching.
I guess you're such a big fan of Texas Tech that you didn't notice that they won Wednesday. :-)

Could I change the path of mankind by changing the fate of a game? What about that butterfly I just stepped on?
And Eddie Murray's playing first for the Mets. Man, how many former Dodgers are in this game...
From AP: "The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to acquire veteran point guard Mike Bibby from the Sacramento Kings. Hawks owner Michael Gearon Jr. says the Hawks are to send four players to the Kings. Among them are 2007 first-round pick Shelden Williams and starting point guard Anthony Johnson." (And former Laker Tyronne Lue.)
If I say what the result of the game is will Darrell Kile come back to life?
JR Richard is still alive though.
Juan Pierre is bad enough. Do we really need his less talented little brother?

What are we going to do with you Ned?
Nook Logan was in the Mitchell Report?! Now I am just assuming every athlete in the world is on PEDs.

The ones that really hurt were the 5th foul against Jordan Hill where he got elbowed in the face and the phantom foul on Lopez at the end of the game that proved to be the winning points. Also, it seems that final block on Budinger's floater was dang close to being a goaltend.
Either way it was a pretty gutsy effort for a short-handed Arizona team to play Stanford that tough.
I remember when it didn't matter how good Stanford was - we would still get torched in Arizona no matter what. I imagine it was a pretty gutsy effort for Stanford, coming off a loss at ASU, to put together a victory in that environment.
Does anyone have relatives that have lived well past their generation's life expectancy due to theoretically adding a supplement to their diet? I know exercise, stress etc all play roles, but I find that the older generations usually seems to attribute their longevity to some food they ate/drank. For instance, some of my friends' grand parents swear by apple cider vinegar.
I bring this up having just read an article about a woman who is supposedly 102 yrs old. She drank a glass of olive oil every day:

Sorry to bring this site off topic but given we are all people of different backgrounds but share the same joy of the game, I was curious into what foods people's families or cultures attribute to long life.
Pronounced like the thing in a Thomases' English Muffin, not like Tim Robbins in Bull Durham, for the uninitiated.
I will say, he covers a pretty mean center. Not a gun for an arm, but not an agonizing liability on that score either.
