Review: Sweet Fingers, San Leandro - Good Oxtail and Ginger Beer w/ PICS
First time to Sweet Fingers in San Leandro for dinner Sat 6/27/15. Got there before 5pm and there was one other person there. It always pays to eat early, service is always better and you get the place to yourself.
Music was loud though. Hate loud music.
I got Half size Oxtail meal $12 and it was Good! Lots of tender oxtail with bone, sauce, little bit of salad, big scoop of rice & beans. I didn't want the plantains so none was on my plate. The jerky jerk sauce is a sweet bbq sauce that you can get on the side, I didn't like it.
B. got the "award winning" jerk chicken half entree $11. We both thought it was dry, so get the Oxtail!
Glass of their Homemade ginger beer $5 is Spicy and a bit sweet. I liked it! Wish I got a glass of water too because it's spicy!
Charged it.
Separate bathrooms in the back.
I'll go back just I'm calling in my order and taking it To Go!

I liked my dish, red lentils were my favorite. Would like to try some meat dishes next time.

Review: San Jose Greek Festival 2015 w/ PICS
Went to SJ Greek Festival Fri 5/29/15. You can't park close to the church, they block of the streets for workers of the festival and residents. There is plenty of free parking on W. Hedding St and The Alameda, or you can take the FREE shuttle that is on their website.
I had FREE pass from when I went to Souvlaki in SJ so I didn't have to pay the entrance fee of $5. Seniors/students $3. Get tokens after the entrance, but if line is really line there is another booth by the large food booth more on the Right and another token booth by the Stage.
Food I got:
Athenian salad $5 - tomatoes, bell pepper, feta cheese, some olives, red onions. I liked it. In a small bowl.
2 Dolmathes for $3 - ground beef & herbs wrapped in grape leaves & topped w/ lemon sauce. Both were still warm and full of meat. I liked.
Lamb chop dinner 3 chops $15 - comes with rice and slice of bread and slice of lemon. One of my lamb chop was really burnt, but the other 2 were pretty good.
Galatoboureko $3 - Greek custard dessert. It's small square, I liked it, one of my favorite thing to get there.
Sugar cookie $2 - like a Mexican wedding cookie. Wasn't very melty or delicious, i still ate it.
Frappe $4 - Greek coffee, just ok, looks like from a mix with 2 small ice.
I took a picture of the Loukoumades Small $5/Large $8 - lady said they were really good, I asked permission to take the pic.
I stayed a bit to see Mythos play and some people did Greek line-dancing. On the weekend, but not Fri they have a Church Tour - would like to see that one day.
Bring lots of Money!! Cash is easier. I did see one ATM machine.

Tried out Souvlaki's Greek Skewers on Sun 5/24/15. It's near Hwy 87 and pretty quick place to order to go & head out. They are in a strip-mall so some parking in the front and back and street parking.
I got a Lamb souvlaki $8.99, it's a bunch of cubed lamb chunks, some tzatziki sauce, some tomato slices, & red onions. Next time I need to get without red onions. I told the girl I didn't want french fries so I asked for side salad for extra $2.99 with also comes with a drink (fountain soda drink).
Side salad had greens, cucumbers, slice of tomato, some onions, & feta cheese. I liked it ok.

I happened to be at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Wed 5/20/15 and one of the artist Pratchaya Phinthong has an exhibit giving away "Nam Prik Zauguna" Thai chili paste made by a collective of women from Southern Thailand-it's a way to generate money & awareness of the ongoing violence in the region. Their is 2 Thai chili paste on the floor of the main gallery you can get: one has cashews & dried fish and other stuff; other more hot. I tried a tsp of the hot one at home and it does have nice heat. Lucky for some folks that can get to YBCA tomorrow Thurs 5/21/15 because from 5-8pm the gallery is FREE, so you can get your Thai Chili Paste if you want & walk around & see the other artwork too, there's a cool outside exhibit with lights I hope to see soon. Otherwise, it's $10 adult fee if you can't make it Thurs night, not sure how long the paste will be there, there was maybe 50 of each when I left 3pm Wed.

Lottie's Creamery in Walnut Creek
I finally got to try Lottie's Creamery in Downtown Walnut Creek. It's up the street from the Lesher Center for the Arts.
I was lucky to get into the shop and no line. It's a small shop with no tables, there a long bench area to sit, didn't see any outside.
I got to try 3 samples and they were all pretty good. Check flavors on their FB page before going. They do run out of flavors during the day so best to call if you want a certain flavor.
I picked 2 flavors $5.75 and handmade cone .75c - vanilla honey w/ candied kumquat and vanilla salted almond toffee. Both were good. Cone was good too.
Charged my total $6.50.
Water is available free on the table, paper cone cup to use.

Sugarfina (Candy Store), SF Union Square now open w/ PICS
Checked out Sugarfina in Union Square since I was in the area. It's on Sutter near Kearny.
It's a small shop with lots of candy. They were sampling 2 kinds: champagne gummy bear and Fuji Apple Caramel. I ate my 3 samples so quick, didn't taste the flavors much just sugar. Some candies made in US (no company listed), or it'll say Germany, but not who makes them.
Lots of candy in boxes or bags. What they call Tasting Bar has small bags only $2.50. The cubes were like $18, not sure how much the bigger boxes were.
Cute store, I'll probably go back at least for some more samples.

- Independent
- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
The jury in an attempted murder trial last week took only a few hours to find defendant Kindall Devone Neale guilty on all counts.
Neale, 32, stood trial for three counts of attempted second-degree murder and a variety of weapons and assault charges that stemmed from a robbery that went sour in Indian Head last spring. Neale, a Waldorf resident, also faced witness intimidation charges as a result of several calls he made from the Charles County jail.
Before the jury was seated to hear closing arguments and receive their instructions Thursday, Neale surprised the courtroom when he told Circuit Judge Helen I. Harrington that he wished to fire his lawyer, public defender Michael Beach. Harrington advised Neale that at that point in the trial, relieving himself of his lawyer would be unwise and any lawyer willing to step in on his behalf so late in the game would be "foolish" to do so. Neale was irate in arguing his point, saying Beach had lied to him, but ultimately acquiesced and retained the public defender's services.
In his closing argument, Charles County Assistant State's Attorney Francis J. Granados took the time to walk the jury through the evidence against Neale and argued that the physical evidence against him corroborated everything he stood accused of.
"There are things we can take to the bank because we have ... evidence that shows it's true," Granados said.
Granados also pointed to how the week before the trial, Neale called his girlfriend, Barbara Luana Allen, to try and discourage her from testifying at the trial. Allen had served as a conduit between Neale and another man whom he wanted to have visit one of the three men he attempted to rob and shoot and was going to take the stand to testify about that call. Granados read from a transcript of the more recent incriminating call.
"If she don't testify I can come home next Friday. ... Tell her not to do that [expletive]," Neale said in the call.
"Why is he trying so hard?" Granados asked of the phone calls and Neale. "She's the only person Mr. Neale gave a truthful statement to. He knows what he did. ... He knows he's guilty."
When speaking of how Neale tried denying that he knew one of the victims, Granados pointed to how he'd referred to him by a nickname all along, indicating familiarity and disproving his lie.
Granados also addressed "Pooh Bear," the imaginary man Neale invented to implicate in place of himself. Neale said he'd loaned "Pooh Bear" his car that evening, and it was "Pooh Bear" who owned the gun found in the King George, Va., apartment Neale was arrested in after the May 30 armed robbery.
"Isn't that a cute coincidence," Granados asked. "'Pooh Bear' is a figment of Mr. Neale's imagination. ... Who is 'Pooh Bear?' He's sitting right there."
Had it not been for one of the men Neale robbed having a gun, things would have been much different, Granados said.
"Mr. Neale was trying to do a lot more than rob them, a lot more than just scare them," Granados said. "He was firing at the car, and that's what makes him guilty of attempted second-degree murder. This case is about a lot more than the word of [the victim with the gun]. .. What this case rises and falls upon is forensic evidence. ... The only reasonable conclusion is to find him guilty."
In Beach's closing argument, he said Neale had not tried to rob or shoot anyone, just as he had in his opening argument. Beach said the state "ran with a tall tale" the victims invented to try and save themselves: Along with two guns, officers found a significant amount of marijuana one of the victims possessed at the scene of the crime, and by their own admission, they had been in the car smoking pot when Neale approached the driver's side and pointed a gun at them.
Beach questioned why the victim had a gun in the first place and said it indicated the three had ultimately planned a robbery of their own, using a drug sale as a lure but never got to execute it because Neale got to them first.
"You don't have [guns] if you're just sitting there smoking weed," Beach said. "They're trying to flip the script after their robbery went bad and make the whole thing go away."
Beach later said the state is making "mountains out of a bunch of molehills" and called evidence pictures from the scenes "staged." He then addressed Neale's jailhouse phone calls.
"Those calls last week are .. the acts of a man who has lost faith in the justice system. He's probably lost faith in me, but I haven't lost faith in you," Beach told the jury. "At the end of the day, it's all up to you. I could jump up and down and tell you he's an innocent man because he is."
As a parting note, Beach constructed a hypothetical scenario and asked the jury to consider if the defendants — two of whom are brothers — would be trustworthy enough to baby-sit their children, as a means of underscoring some of their more dubious activities, a tactic Granados took issue with.
"He wants you to think with your heart and not with your head," Granados said of Beach, calling his robbery theory "fanciful speculation" and a "convoluted, complex story."
"If [Neale] is this innocent man who's so scared of what the justice system is going to do to him, why tell lie after lie after lie?" Granados said. "I don't know about you, but I think witness tampering is pretty solid evidence of a guilty conscience. Mr. Neale is practically screaming. ... The evidence is overwhelming. Don't be swayed by sympathy."
Neale is scheduled for sentencing July 14.

More Evidence that Fracking Waste Is Poorly Regulated
A class action lawsuit filed in Arkansas this week has uncovered some very frightening information about the enormous amounts of potentially very toxic waste being generated by the oil and gas industry and how poorly it is regulated. According to a recent investigative report by ProPublica, oil and gas producers have injected 10 trillion gallons of liquid waste underground into more than 150,000 waste disposal wells in 33 states. According to ProPublica, this is often happening even when the operators know the waste disposal wells are out of compliance and could leak.
But it's not just ProPublica saying this. The article reports that a federal prosecutor stated that it is "common" for the operators of these disposal wells to try to avoid the rules--and that this can lead to contamination of drinking water.
So what happened in Arkansas? According to the lawsuit, operators are injecting oil and gas waste underground in areas that they did not lease for such injection. Landowners who claim their underground space has been violated are suing oil and gas companies. According to the lawsuit, the waste can travel underground for miles --in all directions. It turns out that some of this oil and gas waste was not even staying in the formation where it was injected. It was migrating into a neighboring formation. The only reason anyone knows this is because the neighboring formation was being tapped for natural gas extraction, and the waste was found in gas wells.
The lawsuit and the ProPublica report add to the growing evidence that oil and gas waste in the U.S. is not sufficiently regulated. Not only are the rules too weak, thanks to Congress giving the industry a free pass to pollute years ago, but those on the books are not being enforced. Both state and federal regulators are overwhelmed. Even when violations are found, the penalties are so small that they are not an incentive for companies to clean up their act.
NRDC opposes expanded fracking until effective safeguards are in place. Closing the oil and gas loopholes in our toxic waste laws is just one of the necessary steps toward putting those safeguards in place.

Ronald Weedbaum says:
The industry should be closely regulated and those who don't follow regulations should face stiff penalites.
That being said, nowhere here is there any evidence that drinking water was contaminated. I am not saying it shouldn't be regulated but I have noticed that there are very few cases where the feared contamination has actually occurred. Lots of "this may happen" or "this can happen" which leads a certain kind of person to react emotionally and interpret it as "this is happening and I am going to be poisoned." The fact that all of these wells have been drilled and are used for disposal and that there isn't a single known case of contamination of drinking water around them should tell everyone something about how this issue has been portrayed. The danger is being exaggerated and completely blown out of proportion. If clean water is the goal, there are at least ten human activities that are more dangerous to drinking water than shale gas development. These would include agriculture, livestock, human sewage, golf courses, detergent usage, coal mining, coal burning, etc.
Amy Mall says:
Concerned Scientist: In many cases where groundwater may have been contaminated during hydraulic fracturing operations, the contamination has been attributed to other causes, such as faulty well structure or poor cementing, even if a well failed during the hydraulic fracturing process. In others, incidents of drinking water contamination where hydraulic fracturing is considered as a suspected cause have not been sufficiently investigated, either because scientists and regulators could not properly investigate (did not have the information or technology needed) or because they chose not to, even where signs point to hydraulic fracturing. However, in Pavillion, Wyoming, the EPA's draft report concluded it was likely that ground water contamination was contaminated by the hydraulic fracturing process itself. The ground water there has been contaminated by chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, and those chemicals most likely reached groundwater through subsurface pathways.
Bobbi O says:
I don't understand why no one talks about waterless fracking using propane. There are no waste liquids produced as all the propnae is recovered with the natural gas. It works better too.
Jessee McBroom says:
Thanks for the post Amy. This news is quite disturbing; but not anticipated. The rush to mine the gold syndrome has not changed. Neither have the ethical practices or the lack there of. This only serves to evidence the dire need for the EPA and its' continued service. Unfortunately they too are on the list of annoyaces to business as usual interests in the fossil fuel sector.

Warner Releases Sports-Themed Peanuts DVD
Snoopy, Woodstock, Charlie Brown, Lucy, and the rest of the Peanuts gang will make their way to your DVD racks on May 8, and they'll be bringing their sports gear with them, as Warner Home Ent. releases their new DVD, aptly titled Happiness is… Peanuts: Team Snoopy. The DVD combines the TV special Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown with an episode from The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show.
In Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown, the Peanuts baseball team realize that one of their members isn't measuring up to the performance standards set by the rest of the team, which is where the special got its title, because the gang decided that Lucy Must Be Traded. Charlie Brown ended up trading Lucy for Marcie, one of Peppermint Patty's players. But is it enough to end their losing streak?
The Happiness is… Peanuts: Team Snoopy also contains three bonus episodes taken from The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show. Said bonus episodes will be available in DVD formats for the first time. The DVD will be released on May 8, and will retail for $14.97 MSRP.

"We were lucky to rent from these fabulous kind owners at the end of June for 5 nights! The condo IS in the best location possible: between the best beach (for swimming at one end and body boarding in the center) and the best turtle cove with snorkeling where you see a lot of turtles and fish. It is away from big hotels. You can cook in the fabulous kitchen. The view is unparalleled. Thank you so much!"Guest: Joelle D. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 6, 2015View listing
"The condo was very nice! The grounds were beautiful and well maintained, and the 2 pools are excellent. Only a very short walk to the beach, which is great if you don't have transportation.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/12/13 -- Couchbase, a leader in NoSQL database technology and the company behind the Couchbase open source project, today announced the expansion of its breakthrough mobile strategy, JSON Anywhere, to China. Couchbase CEO Bob Wiederhold will make the announcement at the annual Mobile Developer Conference, the largest mobile developer conference in China, to be held in Beijing on November 13 - 14, 2013.
The announcement of the mobile strategy in China comes less than three months after Couchbase reported 400 percent growth and an additional $25 million in funding to drive product innovation and international expansion.
The Couchbase JSON Anywhere strategy is targeted at mobile application developers who want to create highly responsive, data-centric applications that are always available regardless of network connectivity. JSON Anywhere means: JSON on the device, JSON on the wire, and JSON in the cloud. Data stored in Couchbase Lite on a mobile device is seamlessly synchronized with the Couchbase Server in the cloud, enabling the simple development of a new class of occasionally connected, data intensive mobile applications.
At the developer conference, Wiederhold will announce that in expanding the mobile strategy to China, Couchbase Lite, Couchbase Sync Gateway and Couchbase Cloud will now be available for developers in the region.
It is estimated that the Mobile Developer Conference in China will have more than 10,000 developers in attendance. Couchbase presentations during the conference will include:
- Bob Wiederhold, Couchbase CEO: "Mobile NoSQL Databases Synced to the Cloud are the Future of Mobile App Development" on Nov. 13 from 15:00 to 15:30 (CST)
- Larry Liu, Couchbase Senior Engineer: "Couchbase Lite Technical Overview" on Nov. 14 from 15:10 to 16:00 (CST)
Beta Community Edition releases of Couchbase Lite and Couchbase Sync Gateway are available for immediate download. Couchbase Cloud is available for immediate use. For more details go to: mobile.couchbase.com/cn.
Supporting Quotes
"The explosive growth in the number of smart mobile devices combined the rapidly increasing processing power and memory in these devices is enabling a new class of data-centric mobile applications," said Couchbase CEO Bob Wiederhold. "Our JSON Anywhere strategy has already built significant momentum in the U.S., and we look forward to bringing the mobile strategy to China to further extend our NoSQL database and mobile database offerings to more organizations around the globe."
"Forbes recently announced that there is a $50 billion opportunity for smartphone manufacturers in China," said Couchbase CEO Bob Wiederhold. "We believe the combination of a massive user base and mobile development community is an ideal environment to drive the rapid adoption of our JSON Anywhere strategy."

Close your eyes, breathe in deeply, now exhale slowly… That was easy, wasn't it? Not for everyone…
Bitter anti-Israel rock musician Roger Waters used a giant, pig-shaped balloon emblazoned with a Star of David and symbols of dictatorial regimes during a recent concert in Belgium.
Waters, who recently urged other performers to boycott Israel and compared Israel to apartheid South Africa, was singing on stage on July 20 under the balloon while toting a machine gun replica and wearing a long black leather jacket with a red-and-white arm band, reminiscent of a Nazi uniform.
The former Pink Floyd member was singing "get him up against the wall, that one looks Jewish and that one's a coon, who let all of this riff-raff into the room" – the lyrics of the song "In the Flesh."
Thousands of fans shouted his name and applauded as he stood on stage pretending to fire the replica.
Michael Froehlich, editor-in-chief of the Belgian Jewish monthly Goods Actual, called on the government to issue a statement condemning what he called "an anti-Semitic display" at the concert.

to be fair, the nazi uniform isn't new in the wall and the album has "pink," the character's name, dreaming that he is fascist, which is one of the reasons he "builds the wall" also his diplomatic political views of israel are warranted. I'm jewish and just got back from israel but the west bank and everything there is a reasonable thing to be opposed too, and while there is more to that situation than that, it is fair to be against it. don't forget the star of david is on the israeli flag. it may not be a charge against judaism, but against the state of israel. in my opinion, until he addresses this, I do not consider waters as being anti-semitic. in fact, in the song he was playing in that video, he, in a way marks that it is wrong to be against someone for race or beliefs. in the flesh is him calling out "Pink" for blaming his fans for his troubled life. honestly, a lot of the context of his accusations of anti-semitism are unwarranted to me.
Neo-Nazis are on the rise. But, they are under the curse of he one True God.

I am an artist and I object vociferously to Waters blatant antisemitism. He is not just another artist but one who has influence, dubious and scurrilous as that may be. After a concert I would not be surprised if lyrics"get him up against the wall, that one looks Jewish and that one's a coon, who let all of this riff-raff into the room" inspires some fans to do just that.
He hasn't been part of the band for a long time, he just has right to use some stuff. I can't see sweet old David Gilmour doing anything hateful. Roger Water is and has always been a FREAK. Could never stand him.

I realize not all jews are zionist s. I actually know a few good jews. I also know Zionism is the root of nearly all evil in the world and must be eliminated.
More and more Americans are learning Israel staged the 9/11 attacks and hopefully soon Israel will pay for their crimes against humanity. USS Liberty, Lavon Affair, Sandy Hook, murder of JFK are just a few of the many Israeli attacks on America. When Americans take back their government and learn the truth about Israel, paybacks could be rather harsh…
I believe Palestine should be restored to the Palestinians to whom it rightfully belongs. The zionists can easily be sent to hell where they belong. I doubt there is anyplace on earth zionists would be welcome other than Antarctica where possibly no more than 500 people would object.
Roger Waters is an idiot savant – gifted musician, but worth nothing as far as anything else is concerned, with the majority of the volume behind his forehead in the form of an empty resonance box. An IQ of a wounded fly… Thinks that writing a piece of music about a wall some 40+ years ago makes him an expert on walls and apartheid. This makes him not only an idiot but also an ignoramus. How befitting in the company of the Palenians and their fellow travelers!

Many parents tend to dismiss the idea of sending their children to private school without exploring it in depth. We explore this and several more related subjects.
When it comes to choosing a private school, there are so many choices to consider that the project can be a huge challenge to most of us. We offer some help and advice to help you get started.
Sending your child to a foreign language school makes good sense when you have been posted to this country from abroad and in other circumstances as well.

U.S. Roman Catholic bishops are rejecting the Obama administration's plan to accommodate faith groups that object to the birth control mandate.
The bishops said in a statement Tuesday to Health and Human Services that the prospective new rules don't do enough to protect religious liberty.
The mandate requires employers to provide health insurance that includes birth control for workers. The plan sparked protests from faith leaders because it included most religious nonprofits such as hospitals and colleges.
President Barack Obama offered a compromise. He said insurers would bear the cost of the birth control instead of religious employers. However, the bishops argue that the compromise still makes their insurance plans a conduit for contraceptives.
The administration is reviewing public comments before making any final decision.

So it makes sense that he continues to look on that as the main rivalry in his career rather than, say, the one with Alonso.

Redemption Island is a scary place to be. One loss and your game is over. But for a challenge dominator like Ozzy Lusth, could going there be the best way to win the game? After all, there's no better way to get in good with a jury then bonding over being blindsided and uniting against the common foe that voted you out. Is it worth the risk for Ozzy — who is rocking something of a Soundgarden-era Chris Cornell look these days — to be voted out on purpose in the hopes of winning over jury members and winning enough challenges to go back into the game right before the finals (and then collecting all those votes from your new friends)? That question was on the returning player's mind when we spoke in Samoa the day before filming began on Survivor: South Pacific (premiering Sept. 14 on CBS). "It's a scary way to play the game," he acknowledged. But that doesn't mean he won't do it. Check out the video player below to see Ozzy's thoughts behind this controversial strategy. And for more Survivor news and views all season long, follow me on Twitter @EWDaltonRoss.

Dubai-based property developer looking to 'revive' projects
June 11, 2013 2:18 by kippreport
Deyaar, touted as Dubai's second-largest property developer, plans to launch two new projects this year, its chief executive said earlier this week. This adds to a recent series of project announcements in the emirate.
One of Deyaar's new projects, a residential development in the Business Bay area of Dubai, will be worth approximately AED500 million, Saeed Al Qatami said at the opening of the company's new office in the area.
He said the second project was still being finalised, and gave no details of it, according to Reuters.
Deyaar was one of several developers hit by Dubai's real estate market crisis, which saw prices drop by more than 50 percent over several years from their peak in 2008. The market began recovering last year.
"A number of our projects were put on hold after the crisis. But we still have the good land bank and are looking to revive projects," Al Qatami says.
He added that Deyaar, in which Dubai Islamic Bank holds a 41 percent stake, was not encountering problems in securing finance for new projects and had no plans to issue bonds to raise money.
Dubai's largest developer, Emaar, has announced several big projects over the past few weeks, the most recent being plans for a huge residential and commercial development near the city's downtown area in partnership with Meraas Holding.

Updated: Kelley has put out an Instagram video of the new cleats – they're still awesome. Check it out:
Earlier: Nike and Oregon continue to stay oh so fly. Tonight, we got a glimpse at some brand new cleats that the Ducks have in store — some really shiny looking Nike Alpha Pro TDs. Even the bottoms are flashy.
The photo was posted by sophomore WR B.J. Kelley on his Instagram:
So…when will see the new Ducks uniforms to match? We can only hope that Nike is dreaming up another something special for Oregon in the near future.
While you probably won't be able to buy these, Oregon fans, Nike did drop the new Nike Free 5.0′s customized for Oregon this past weekend — they are pretty fresh too.

Quote of the Day: Bud Selig
Mar 20, 2010, 7:43 PM EDT
Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig, speaking to the Associated Press about the idea of realigning the league's divisions:
"When I am on long airport rides I will fiddle around with divisions and
things. The one thing about it: you come up with 100 different
It's nice to hear that Bud is at least thinking about making a change to the current system, which features a lopsided amount of teams in the NL and AL, but 100 different scenarios? Is it really that complicated? And that's quite an image — Selig "fiddling" around with "divisions and things." Perhaps we should just move on.
- Gerry M - Mar 20, 2010 at 11:24 PM
That's nice, that he's thinking, trying something new. 100 scenarios? He must be driving to every airport and skipping the actual flights.
- Bobby - Mar 21, 2010 at 12:39 AM
Well the AL and NL either need to be lopsided or their needs to be interleague play all season long.
- Joey B - Mar 21, 2010 at 8:22 AM
Always nice to have criticisms without suggestions. I used to get paid to point out problems, and not to suggest solutions, and yes, it is fun. The problem with evening it out is that you need to find two more cities to expand in.
- ditmars1929 - Mar 21, 2010 at 8:52 AM
Two more cities to expand into? Joey, all you'd have to do is move Houston from the NL Central to the AL West.
- rob b - Mar 21, 2010 at 9:38 AM
Expand by two teams? Get rid of teams is more like it. You send Milwaukee back to the AL and ax the Marlins, Pirates, or Nationals.
- Old Gator - Mar 21, 2010 at 12:09 PM
The Feesh now have an all but millennial obligation to Macondo to provide a revenue stream to pay off their part of Banana Massacre Field. MLB just invested a small fortune in moving the Gnats to Washington from Montreal (remember Montreal?) and developing a new stadium there. Peetsburgh is one of the oldest and most tradition-encrusted franchises in baseball. None of 'em are going anywhere. Moving Houston to the AL West makes much more sense since it's the cheapest and easiest solution, and that division lacks a bona fide patsy. Even so, with all of its fouled air and water, I hate to see the designated clubber inflicted on Houston or, for that matter, on any other unsuspecting city.
- Joey B - Mar 21, 2010 at 12:48 PM
"Two more cities to expand into? Joey, all you'd have to do is move Houston from the NL Central to the AL West."
Then you'd have 15 teams in each league, so you'd have to have an interleague game each day, or you'd need to have a team take off every day.
- Old Gator - Mar 21, 2010 at 4:05 PM
An interleague series on at any given time? That'd be fine with me. I know some folks don't care much for interleague play but, aside from NL fans having to endure the tedium of designatedhitterball every so often, the idea of fans in any city getting a chance to see all the stars of the game regardless of the league of the resident team can't hurt the game in any way that I can see. I'd like to see Joe Mauer play in Macondo, and the Feesh's infield play wouldn't seem to smell as bad in the boreal grip of that fresh Minny air.
Further expansion would just dilute the talent pool even further. The only advantage to it I could see is that MLB could offer the Player's Association 50 more permanent job slots per year in return for scrapping that soporific obscenity known as the DH. On that basis, I could be talked into it.

Man Trying to Walk Naked From Georgia to Miami Arrested While on Cough Syrup
Earlier this month, police spotted a 22-year-old man walking stark naked down the main business district of Sebastian, Florida. When they approached him he explained that he had decided to walk from Georgia to Miami, and at some point decided that clothes would hamper this 600 mile journey. Oh, and, yeah, he was sipping syrup at the time.
According to Off The Beat, the incident happened on November 11th just before midnight. Jon Erik Meyer was spotted sporting little more than his beard while walking south down the stretch of US 1 that runs through Sebastian.
Obviously when police began asking him questions he seemed confused. He said he wasn't quite sure where he was, but had been walking from Columbus, GA to Miami.
He explained that he had taken his clothes off a while ago while walking down the sidewalk. The police report does not make reference to the presence of shoes either. Maybe he was just making a pilgrimage to the para sucia capitol.
Meyer admitted that he had taken cough syrup that included DMX. Drinking too much cough syrup can lead to a high known as "roboripping." Though police said they also detected the scent of alcohol.
He was charged with disorderly intoxication and taken to jail.
We would like to thank the Sebastian PD for stopping this man before he got to Miami.

Sewell was bludgeoned to death during her lunch hour on 12 September 1973 in a graveyard above the Derbyshire town of Bakewell, minutes after colleagues heard her making secrets arrangements with someone who was not her husband.
Although witnesses came forward in the days after the attack to identify at least three other men seen in the area - including one covered with blood - it was Stephen Downing, a naive, educationally backward 17-year-old, who was arrested.
Downing was taken to a police station and interrogated for nine hours without access to a solicitor. Police took bets on whether he would confess. He was eventually persuaded to sign a statement he could not read.
Despite immediately retracting his confession, Stephen Downing was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment at Nottingham Crown Court six months later.
During his 27 years in prison, he continued to insist on his innocence, choosing to remain in jail even though he would have been released in 1991, as parole could not be granted without an admission of guilt.
'It got to the stage where prison officers were begging Stephen to just say he had done it,' said Don Hale, former editor of the Matlock Mercury, whose eight-year investigation into Downing's case led to his release on bail last year.
'All the prison officers knew Stephen was innocent and they could not bear to see him continue to suffer,' added Hale. 'But Stephen was determined to stick by his principles whatever the suffering involved, to clear his name.'
Thanks to Hale's investigation, Downing's sentence was quashed in January after the Court of Appeal found his guilt had been decided on the basis of an 'unreliable confession and unreliable forensic evidence' but the court stopped short of finding him innocent.
Downing, Hale and their legions of family, friends and supporters hope the new inquiry will finally clear his name by finding the real killers. Aware that he is presiding over the reopening of one of Britain's most infamous cases, Derbyshire's Chief Constable, David Coleman, emphasises the transparency of the new inquiry.
Headed by Detective Superintendent David Gee, the inquiry will be supervised by an independent advisory committee comprising a Crown Prosecution Service representative, a barrister and Nick Burdis, a Home Office adviser.
The entire team has, Hale notes with amusement, been issued with copies of his recently published book, Town Without Pity, an account of the painstaking investigation which is, he said, 'as near to the knuckle as I could get without risking prejudicing the fresh inquiry'.
'It is extraordinarily ironic,' said Hale. 'After spending years being mocked and dismissed by the police, even nicknaming me the Mad Dog of Matlock, they have now been ordered to read my book by Monday morning.'
Evidence has survived as the stories of most witnesses were documented at the time of the initial investigation. 'I interviewed over 60 witnesses myself and have dozens of tapes and piles of signed statements,' said Hale. 'The police have all those records now.'
Coleman, who has worked on the case for two years, has tried to play down the new inquiry, claiming there is no new evidence that implicates new suspects. 'Many of the original witnesses have died, and people's memories may well have faded,' he said.
But others close to the inquiry have revealed that the police have received more than 2,000 new leads in recent weeks thanks to a number of high-profile public appeals.
Downing, who is to start work as a security guard this week, stands to receive around £4 million compensation for his ordeal: £40,000 for each year he spent in prison, plus further amounts for psychological damage and loss of earnings.
He is hoping to receive his first interim payment of £300,000 in the next four to six weeks, which could enable him to realise his long cherished dream of running a pub.
But when police descend on Bakewell tomorrow, Downing will watch from the sidelines. 'Stephen has never spoken a word about the case or his time in prison but I know he is delighted the case has finally been reopened,' said his mother, Juanita.
'Stephen was very vulnerable at the time of his arrest and it is fair to say that he was not the brightest,' she added. 'He is a different man now; he still gets flashbacks and slight mood swings but this experience has turned him into a wise man.
'He went through a hell we can't begin to imagine. It is the thought that one day his name will be completely cleared that is the light at the end of the tunnel for him.'
