Hey, Bob. Don't think I didn't appreciate your Latin in the last thread.

Are the arbitrators working under a gag rule, or do they get to explain what they were thinking? I can see giving him ten million just to punish the Phillies for letting him sit in AAA so much longer than he needed to be there. More easily than I can see believing he really is that much better than anybody who's ever been arbitrated, anyway.

And I'm betting that Howard drinks less alcohol than Cash did at a comparable age.

I also hope that once Saito retires as well as Nomo that the Dodgers use these two guys in a formal way to recruit in Japan. It seems already that Saito played a major role in getting Kuroda to be a Dodger, and given Nomo's career and trailblazing work with the Dodgers he would also seem to be very logical that they should have offical paid roles.

Somewhere. It'll make sense.

Discuss.

SC is up by thirty, now.

Saint Louis scored 20 against George Washington earlier this season.

I'm betting that OSU tops that.

Calling up teams and trash talking them when you play for Oregon State.

Can OSU go 0-19?

Rider at CSUN!

I can buy 3 more on Tuesday in the same area probably, so let me know.

But I am not going to break out the OBP and Slugging nor am I giving the names because it is a subscribser only product.

But you will probably be able to figure out who is who. (This is the 50 percentile projection).

I think it's a mistake, letting kids in their first trip have cushy, rich guy seats, though. You should make them climb to the top deck. No escalators. They have to be prepared, physically and spiritually for what it means to be a Dodger fan. By which I mean, while they're climbing the stairs, I think you should trip them.

Shame on you, Daniel.

I've paid more than six dollars for tickets about five times since.

And of course, that idea went out the windows after about five games in 1962. And now, unless you have preferred parking, you really don't have much control over where you park.

All of the studying I've been doing about the battle over building Dodger Stadium has been fascinating.

It marked a big change in the political landscape of Los Angeles. The liberals in L.A. became a different type of liberal and the conservatives became a different type of conservative.

Sigh. I guess we'll just sit outside on the hill and listen to the sounds, maybe eat some cold hot dogs.

There was a hush at Pauley today when Westbrook went down.

Then he came back and YouTubed an Oregon player.

I wonder if the Rider guys are going to Marie Callendar's after the game? Or maybe just El Torito?

There is no shortage of chain restaurants near the CSUN campus.

I wonder what hotel they're staying at.

And the Klitschko "Slap the hand down" tactic is fun!

Even Emanuel Stewart is begging Klitschko to knock him out. Maybe the Russian mob got to Wladimir.

I went up with another stranger to Rocky Top in search of an illegal alcholic beverage making device. People have heard back from us however.

It's running with a Black History Month logo.

The Man From Laramie is on the Encore Western channel!

And stuff!

And I have an 8-flipping-40am soccer game tomorrow so I somehow have to go to bed early.

I have an idea for you to consider for the April 15th game. Sign up one child of yours for the Blue Crew fan club, it's $25 plus a two dollar fee.

They send you six ticket vouchers for the Blue Crew dates, they tix are free when you exchange them at the box office. The list of available games includes the April 15th game. The tickets are good for the reserved level, not as good as bh's tickets, but you can move around to better seats on a weeknight after the fourth inning.

You can get your whole family into the game for under $30. They also send you a Russ Martin backpack (really cheapo but free) and a Dodgers wallet. And a hat.

Look at dodgers.com and click on Kids section. Oh yeah, they even send you a Universal Studios kids ticket. I'd order it right away, it takes about three weeks for it to arrive.

Also, they offer half price kids tix the other two nights 90 minutes before game time for top deck. My season seats are top deck, sec 13, row A. You are welcome to my tix for any of the three nights if you'd want them. They are only $4.50 each season ticket price.

Tickets are $10 each (my cost) and I'll sell them in pairs. The people who sit next to me usually have extras, so if you need 5 I can probably get the extra. If anyone is interested you can email ibleedbloo@hotmail.com

If you just want me to send you a list of the games I have available drop me a line and I should have the list ready in a week or two.

Whoa, OK, stop right there. Saito? Cooking? Blog? How have we not known about this before?

It was a good game, although watching it side-by-side with #1 vs. #2 really underlined the awfully large difference in talent. I actually got some Kansas fans to root for CSUN in the 2nd half, although I think they were just disoriented from losing to Okla St. earlier in the day.

Here's google's translated version, for a laugh:
Hi, Takashi Saito.

LA 「 Welcome back ！」と LA But here, too, all kinds of people from going ahead with "Welcome back!"

We call it, to be moved.

And praised it for good, and I HAPPY, HAPPY all of the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

Yes, Takashi Saito will thrive on praise from the type (laughs).
