Hi, I'm Ebbet. You might remember me from your rides with the Blue Crew Fan Club. Maybe you've even colored me in. Well, check out what my big brother is up to ...
The revived Dodger Trolley begins service Friday night. It provides free (thanks to your fellow taxpayers) round-trip service between subway-accessible Union Station and Dodger Stadium's back-of-centerfield parking lots, starting 90 minutes before game time and concluding 60 minutes after the game ends. Buses are scheduled to depart every 10 minutes, with two stops along the way to the stadium, for all remaining home games this year. Could be good (even if it's no Choo Choo Soul).
More details can be found here.

We'd be much better off transporting fans in a Zamboni.
I'll go out and clear my head and get myself some tamales.

Your head's not all you'll clear out...
I watched the post UFC press conference. A reporter told Dana about Fedor beating Tim in 36 seconds. Dana's shock was hilarious.
My comment was just a joke, though I do like hockey.
Didn't see it. I'm sure he tried to make some excuse for why Fedor isn't the greatest. He doesn't have much of a leg to stand on given that Fedor has destroyed the current UFC champ twice.
Actually, he said, "Ummm...wow!'
Reporter: "Dana you have been critical of Fedor in past for not fighting people..."
Dana: " No, this definitely changes things. Tim was a very credible opponent."
Definitely trying to hard.

Hand over your man card.
I would hope the Dodgers are at least paying for the advertising those workers are applying in that photo.

LOL.
Agreed. BTW: who's rockin' the plaid sneakers in the third photo...?
lol
Does Ned have good taste in anything?
His shirt and tie look like one of those shirt and tie combo packages they sell at places like Ross and TJ Maxx.

Maybe he meant Godfather's Pizza.
Make me a crust I can't refuse?
He means the smiling trolley face.

Is there no in that mold playing now? I can't think of anyone since Gwynn. I haven't been following all of MLB very well, though, just the Dodgers and the NL West.
And what did they do differently than most to have those average marks well above everyone around them. Did they make solid contact with nearly every at bat?
So, if the Dodgers want him they'll get him.
The extremely high average, low HR guys aren't around now, but that's not to say there won't be another one. But teams like power, not guys who flip singles to right.
Unless you play for the Dodgers.
And maybe Joe Mauer, though he's twice been below .300 but not by much.
Ichiro is probably the closest to that type these days.
Mark Grace was probably also in that mold as well.
That comment was just what I needed.
Just what I needed.
I can't believe I forgot Ichiro either!
You were probably kidding, but I'd bet Ichiro is top 10 in terms of popularity in the US, and possibly #1 worldwide.
I'll have to check up on that Pedroia fellow.
Johnson fetched Carlos Guillen, Freddy Garcia, and John Halama.
A-Rod gave the M's a draft pick.
