Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus mentioned today that his Team Health Reports are being run "in the order of finish for last year's Dick Martin Award," given for best team medical staff. So the longer we have to wait for the Dodgers, the extra disappointed we can be.

Three National League West rivals - Arizona, San Diego and Stan Conte's old club, San Francisco - have come ahead of the Dodgers. The gauntlet has been thrown.

Strong article by Kevin Baxter in the Times about one man's efforts to bring baseball to Cambodia.

Isn't this the same Will Carroll who routinely disses the Dodgers in other ways though? Is this something I need to take all that seriously? And has anyone ever actually watched Clint Eastwood's The Gauntlet all the way through, and can remember what it's about? Sondra Locke's in it and plays a hooker, I remember that much. Wait, what were we talking about?

I think Carroll might be less informed on some Dodgers than we might be, but he's actually been a fan of Conte's for a while, I believe. I don't think he has it in for the team.

But take it for what you will.

When I was station in Thailand for 3 months in 1962, when I was in the Army, our battlegroup was sent to Cambodia for about a week or 10 days. Suddenly President Kennedy told us we had to move out before we were recognized as an act of aggression. It wasn't a place where I could imagine playing baseball. We were sent there by, I believe, his name was General MacNamara. without the president's knowledge. Something I just remembered. It's good to know how times have changed there.

C'mon, that's funny. Good local humor is always appreciated
