But not before he filmed the 1966 pic Spinout there, writes Brent Shyer at Walteromalley.com.
What made me do a double take, actually, was reading that Rita Wilson was in the film. The credit is not in her Internet Movie Database listing, but it was probably not a credited part. What made me do another double take was to see that she appeared in a Brady Bunch episode as a rival cheerleader to Marcia.
But enough about Rita Wilson, Marcia, and Elvis. Here's an update on the Dodgers' Spring Training move to Arizona, from David Davis at SoCal Sports Observed.
And oh yes, there's a ballgame tonight ...

Tonight's game:
720. Dodgers49
On FOX Sports the caption on the photo of the Offerman tussle says:
Bat Man Begins
I couldn't help laughing. :-)

After Byrnes lead-off walk, clean up hitter Conor Jackson bunts!?
"looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines"....
A problem Neifi! will never have.
I guess you ain't scheduled to do your show today Lex?
Are you sure it's only "used to"?

Now that character is no longer important (e.g., Hillenbrand is here), maybe Ned can get him for a song. He's still only 23. If the Dodgers are going to go for a left-handed head case, better the 23-year old than the 44-year old.
I just googled him he pretty much looks like a serial killer [ http://tinyurl.com/2gqhxp ]

Sam DC (whatever happend to SC Sam btw?), does Kearns do that often? Or does that just even out Howard's brain cramp from last night?
the D-backs are unstoppable these days, I really feel they'll fall back to earth hopefully it will come sooner rather than later.
Why even try to stop Kemp when he would sent Gonzo to his doom?
Marty was it a previously existing disc protrusion, sounds horrible I hope you get better.
my last name is Baez & teachers always use to ask me "so any relation to Joan Baez" ugh! I can only imagine what Wandy went threw as a kid.
I don't know if you saw that play on gameday or tv, but it was a heavily slicing fly that got caught leading to his getting doubled off. He should have stayed closer, but it wasn't a total flub.
And no, we're not.
It feels good.
Pops open a Corona and downs a shot of Patron ... Okay, it was only Casadores.
It would be better to score some more, but making him throw would be a good second. At the same point Lowe only had about 45 pitches.
Yes
Looks like Stults gets the ball tomorrow
that spells out dehydration which = hang over (I'm glad I don't drink anymore) make sure you drink plenty of water if you gonna mix those bad boys.
I thought he was Boricua?

I hope his pitching is representative of his health.
Penny and Lowe and 3 days of Who Knows?
Break that spell, and maybe the slump is broken.
Lowe is known for getting hot this time of year if his team is in the race. I can't see or hear the game--is there any comment about his hip from the announcers?
I think it's like saying Randy, but I really don't know to be honest.
Try saying Wandy Rodriquez 3x real fast..
it'll sound like Wandy Wodwigez
Vinnie hasn't mentioned anything about Lowes hip, but I do know Randolph (the Stros lefthaded pitcher) just left the game with somekinde of leg injury.
I'm not exactly sure what that means, but that's what I see.
If you get into a bull-pen by beating on the starter is much different from being behind . If you were playing the D's you would probably see Hernandez and Seanez, which is actually better than most. It is far removed from seeing the guys in winning games.(in our case Procter, Broxton and Saito).
So get into the opposing bull-pen you intrepid Dodgers!
At the time, I thought it was because we had some sort of patent. When I discovered that we were near the bottom of the league in double plays, I was crushed. Damn you, alliteration! Granted, I was eleve.
I haven't heard Vinnie call him "the baby faced assassin" in quiet some time now so you might be on to something. :o)
I suppose that has something to do with being the cleanup hitter.
seriously.....

>> The team has made approximately 40 waiver claims in the last three weeks, he said, but the players he was interested in either had their waivers withdrawn or wound up with other teams. <<
## Tony Abreu's return to the active list -- and the lineup -- at triple-A Las Vegas this week doesn't mean the Dodgers and the infielder's agent have reached agreement on when the player was hurt. ##
%% Colletti said the dispute won't affect Abreu's future with the organization. The 22-year-old Dominican could be recalled when major league rosters expand Sept. 1. %%

But I'm picky like that.
Contreras for Pierre would be a fair trade. Contreras has been terrible this year and is owed $20 million for 09 & 10. Ned would probably see that as a plus.
We will also accept Roberto Hernandez.
This is what happens.
I like Saito. He's a good man...And thorough.
No thanks to our gas can middle relievers.
The Dodgers will. . .
Win the division: 472 votes (20%)
Win the Wild Card: 732 votes (31%)
Not qualify for the postseason: 1184 votes (50%)
But you are right--I don't think he cares, he is too cool.
Look for that poll to suffer the Alyssa Milano fate.
Yeah you did.
Good to know. Thanks, Lyons!
