99 Problems…
Manny, who homered yesterday, arrived at the clubhouse today wearing a shirt that says, "I've got 99 problems but my swing ain't one." We've had some cool shirts around the clubhouse over the years, but that one becomes an instant classic in my book.
He's back in the lineup today:
Furcal, SS
Kemp, CF
Ethier, RF
Manny, LF
Loney, 1B
Blake, 3B
DeWitt, 2B
Ausmus, C
Haeger, P

Hoping for a win today….I know it's only ST, but, I still want to win! Things should be getting into a groove now. GO DODGERS!!!!
Hi everybody.
Yes, I agree Trublu4ever, a win would really put the day in prospective.
Too bad the game isn't televised.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WALLY!!! Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
I don't no who Wally is, but thanks Enchantedsunset.
Joe Pierre
I usually don't like to comment on a pitchers performance until it's finished but that was quite a start for Haeger.
Thanks Beav!!! I wouldn't dream of it!!! LOL!!!!
Jhall ~ you have to look at the previous thread….many birthday wishes for you and OBF 🙂
OBF ~ Wally is Jhall:)
Thanks alot everyone for the Happy Birthday wishes from the previous thread!!! I truely appreciate it!!! GO DODGERS!!!!
Oh, Happy Birthday Jhall.
You too Brooklyn!!! Have a great day!!!!
Happy birthday to everyone having a birthday today, yesterday, tomorrow, and anytime within the next 12 months. That should just about cover most of you.
I just read the previous thread and I want to thank you all.
I'd like to officially kickoff the Furcal Sucks campaign. I'd have never believed I'd be wishing we had Pierre to lead off.
ANDRE' atta way
maybe he'll hit three for me.
Like when I was in LA.
Unfortunately Beav, I've been having the same thoughts about Furcal.
Tell you what Wally, they need to move Furcal down to at least 7th or 8th in the order. Of course that only leaves Kemp to leadoff, but he did pretty well in that role a couple years ago.
If Furcal keeps it up, he may be called F**kal 🙂
I'm with you Beav!!! If Furcal doesn't get it done in the lead off spot and they leave him there, we will not win the NL West. Kemp is the only other option!!!
LMAO Trumom!!! Sooner than you might think!!!!
I can just hear Bear calling him that, Jhall 🙂 And, I feel a song or two coming also!
I think your right Tru!!! I'm hoping Ferk gets it done and we won't have to go there!!!
Haeger is making a strong case for that #5 starter slot!!!! He's got my vote so far!!!
Haeger the Horrible seems to be doing what Stults can't – siezing the opportunity to be #5.
I like that Tru. Think we'll all be using it!
I think he will, Jhall.
F**kal is a good one and he does SUCK. In fact, he has sucked ever since he left Atlanta with the exception of some brief intervals designed to convince Ned to give him yet another three year contract.
Give him his remaining two years of the current contract, and he will have SUCKED more money out of Frank than Jamie.
It would be exciting to watch a knuckleballer flutter that ball up there, wouldn't it? Then follow him wiith some real heat!
LOL, Bear…you always show up right on cue!
Happy Birthday to ITD's 3-27'ers, OldBrooklynFan, JHall, and Rose (I think, I know there was another 3-27'er in here)! Many happy returns!
Over here setting up for my girl's b-day party, hope everyone else is in a celebratory mood!
Hope they get a win against the Marlins today, avenging our ITD day would make a great present for you all, even if it is "just spring" 🙂
"If you're having bat problems,
I feel bad for you, son,
I've got 99 problems
And my swing ain't one"
Good to see Manny in a joyful mood again. Live it up Manny, you won't find another place that loves you more than L.A. You're getting PAID next year based on what happens this year, let's make sure your locker will be STUFFED with paychecks next year, along with a big blue ring to go with those two red ones 🙂
:))) Well said Bear!!! Good to have you back in mid-season form my friend. Screw the number crap and tell it like it is. LOL!!!!
Isn't it ironic that Frank and Jamie are trying to fleece the Dodger franchise to live a Blue Blood lifestyle?!!!!!
Well, if it isn't Wally and Beav mixed in with some Tru and Bear!! A scary combination of fun and trouble.
Northstateblues – I am sure there is at least one other ITDer with this very same birthday. I think it is a female ITDer………….just not sure which one. Rose might be right, or I was thinking CP as well.
So the beat goes on for Furcal.
But that was quite an outting for Haeger.
I was gone for awhile my page had stopped redirecting,
Hey Bear!!!
Lookout ITD, the unholy trinity is back on the air!!
enchanted – that is a perfect analysis of the Four Horsemen and who it represents.
I am on PST instead of ITDFST (which is now up to 50 minutes if you have been paying attention).
LOL Beav!!! Get Dad/Eric back in and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will ride again!!!!
Well, Frank is a clown, Jamie is a w____, and Ned does a little soft shoe and thanks his lucky stars!!! I'm surprised it's not already being considered for a "Reality Show"!!!!
Jazz hands Ned!!! LOL!!!!
Unfortunately Wally, none of the characters are likeable.
I dunno Beav, ever drive a Limo!!! LOL!!!!
I dunno Beav, ever drive a Limo!!! LOL!!!!
Can't say as I have Wally, but I have enjoyed a hot-crossed bun or two in my day.
I love hot buns 🙂
These Mariner announcers are always giving their pre game interviews while the Dodgers are at bat.
Then they quickly go over what happened, but sometimes too quickly.
Luckily nothing happened.
OBF ~ you are right!
I'm sure the four horsemen will get quite a few opportunities to ride again this year.
Opening day is unsealed and a white horse appears. It is bluntness (messagebear).
Furcal continues to suck and a red horse appears. It is sarcasm (enchanted)
Ned continues to get us crap and a black horse appears (kinda appropriate don't ya think.) It is In-Freaking-Tolerance (jhall)
Frank's divorce and Joe's incompetence ruins our ballclub and a pale horse appears. It is unemployment. (dodgereric)
So you think Haeger, Ramon Ortiz and Monasterios have made the staff?
OUT-FREAKING-STANDING ©, Beav!!! Truely inspired!!!
I meant recordings of their pre game interviews.
Of course nice ones with Joe Torre and Vin Scully.
But they completely leave the game.
I don't think they do this during the regular season.
My damned page stopped redirecting properly again.
Fantastic, Enchanted!
Sounded like a crucial (nice) DP by Carroll.
Have a great afternoon and evening gang!
You too Beav!!! I think we've got our good stuff ready for the regular season my friend/brother!!! LOL!!!!
Bears throwing the high hard fastball again, Beav is breaking off some nice curveballs over the plate, and I feel good about my sliders!!! Have a great day/evening my friends!! EXCELSIOR!!!!!!!
Trumom's change-up's make it all work!!!!
LOL…thanks, Jhall 🙂
I'm watching the WVU/Kentucky game and at halftime. WVU shot 8/31 but 8/15 from 3's and they said this never happen even I could've believe it.
Fare thee well Mientke, we hardly knew ye.
I miss the good old days when pitchers were men and you could keep a Manny Mota AND a Vic Davalillo on the bench.
I just read they told Doug Meintkiewicz that he would not make the club, leaving room for Anderson as the left-handed bat off the bench. We were there the night he messed up his shoulder, and I don't think it will ever be forgotten by the group I was with (gnats fans too) how he tried to finish out that inning. Then to top it off, we saw him on the ITD tour training to get himself back into the lineup. It also sounds like he was well liked in the clubhouse as well. I am glad to see GA doing well, but at the same time, it's kind of hard seeing Doug go too.
I did like Meintkiewicz, and yes Nelly, he was sweating it out running in the outfield at the tour. I believe I read that Torre has given him the option of AAA, or as a team coach, although he still want's to play at this level and who can blame him. I would like to see him stick around, but regardless of what transpires…Good Luck Doug!!
I agree with you Nellyjune and Dodger4life about Doug. He was very nice to us on the tour and, I'm sorry to see him go.
My best to you, Doug.
I also hope Anderson is just a bat off the bench. Hoping Reed gets the job of 4th outfielder…..made a fanstic catch today and, I hope Joe remembers who he is.
Well, well, well. It's about time, Bellasario……
In any other occupation, his boss would be telling him to not let the door hit him in the asss. This occupation, however, forgives as long as you produce.
It still pisses me off. If the stories are correct about him missing appointments that would have hurried the process…..
I've got nothing against Doug Mientkewitz and I wish him the best of luck elsewhere but he just wasn't a versatile enough player to stick on most NL rosters. Because of the double switch and no DH, NL backups, by and large, need to multi task more than their counterparts in the AL. First base is his only position and Loney, barring injury, will probably play 150-plus games this year.
I thought, at first, that Belisario would get a fine for his missed time but I guess 30 days without pay while getting into shape probably serves the same purpose.
I think Joe will use Belliard as a back-up for Loney, don't you? He used him several times in ST.
Dodgereric ~ I agree with you 100% about Bellasario. Of all the nerve to let his team down like this.
…………….and to think he didn't even have to call in for a substitute or make lesson plans 🙂
Tru, that was my thought, too, about Belliard. Mientkewitz's situation gave me cause to think about the differences between the NL and the AL game. Because of those differences, Mientkewitz might have a better chance of catching on with an AL team….And I thought Belisario was being held diplomatic hostage by Hugo Chavez. It doesn't say much for Belisario's work ethic and professionalism that he's been late to ST the two years he's been with us. But, as eric says, if he can return to last year's form, all will be forgiven.
Whatever the case, I am glad he is back. I think the bullpen is going to need him. It sounds like Kuo might just be done.
I also think Kuo is finished. Our BP isn't quite the same as it was last year. I'm hoping our starters, of course, with Joe's permitting, can go much deeper into the game.
It's a baseball truism of long standing that you can't have enough pitching. With all the surgeries that Kuo has undergone, you do wonder how much more his arm can take??
Well, I don't think there's any way that Torre won't keep 12 pitchers. With the 8 starters that leaves 5 positon players for subs. Minus one catcher leaves 4.
1) Reed Johnson has to be Ramirez' defensive replacement and occasional starter in left and can play any OF slot.
2) Looks like Anderson is our lefty PH, can play the corner OF and 1st in a pinch.
3) If DeWitt starts (and I say he deserves a shot), we know Carroll has a two-year deal, so he stays and he can almost anywhere.
4) We know Torre is in love with Belliard. I'd still like to know why he soured so hard on Hudson. But he can play all over the place too.
Don't count out Kuo yet.
Dodgereric ~ Do we have 12 pitchers? 🙂
I have learned that anything is possible and nothing is impossible 🙂
I definitely agree that DeWitt has earned the 2B job but, as recent Dodger/Torre history teaches us, putting up the numbers in ST doesn't necessarily mean anything. Johnson will be in the mix along with Carroll, Anderson, and Belliard. The new guys in the BP will be on the bubble for 30 days or so until Belisario is ready….Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Hudson struggling at the plate about the time Belliard got here last year. Belliard hit like a house afire almost from Day 1 and, for Joe, that was all it took.
LOL tru!
Hmmm……….well, there's ……….wait. Lemme think……
1) Padilla (don't get me started on Mr Opening Day Starter)
2) Kershaw (he's my #1, 22 or no 22).
3) Billz (boy, I hope he's learned something about himself)
4) Kuroda (boy, I wish he'd stay healthy)
5) Haeger/Stults/Monasterios/Ortiz1/Ortiz2/Towers/Ican'tbelieveI'mwritingsomeofthesenamesasapossiblestarteronamajorleagueteamthat'ssupposedtocontend
6) Brox (he'll be outstanding)
7) Sherrill (he'll be right eventually)
Belisario (he'll be here eventually but not for 30 days)
Kuo/Troncoso/Wade…….No, Torre has killed them so that we can't count on them to be there for any length of time.
I just know there will be 12 bodies. Bet on it. Maybe even 13.
Two questions for Dodgereric – who would you have replacing Kuo?
and a NASCAR question……………. in your NASCAR league (since you are the Commish), is it the driver or the car that gets the points? Why am I asking? Denny is going in for knee surgery on Monday. So, how does that affect fantasy teams who have him if he has to use Casey Mears as a backup because he is unable to race in Pheonix?
Yeah See, I know Belliard hit well for us. Maybe I just liked Hudson too much to see him not get much of a chance to get back out there. That would make me guilty of what I accuse Torre of so much – falling in love.
Mea culpa.
Dodgereric – On Baseball Tonight last night (I saw the episode this morning), they were talking about Billz and how they have really worked on his mechanics. I guess when he got hurt, he was compensating for something, and by doing so completely changed the way he pitches. They said he was falling off towards first base. Well, when you watch him now, he pretty much goes straight off towards homeplate, making his balance seem so much better. They say this should do the trick. Now, that doesn't say anything about his head game. That's a whole other issue as we all know all too well.
Well, I guess you answered the pitching question – thanks 🙂
Two answers:
1) There isn't one.
2) In MY league, you own the driver, not the car. Since I have Hamlin, I have to pay attention as to whether or not he is able to drive the car. If I don't make a change before the start of qualifying and he's not able to drive, I get zero points for him. I'd have to drop him and pick up someone else. It won't be Mears. There are a couple of good drivers out there that are available – McMurray and Ambrose come to mind immediately. Scott Speed and Paul Menard are doing well right now.
What are the kids up to tonight?
Somewhere, I read an account where Honeycutt was talking about , essentially, the same thing about the makeover of Bills' mechanics. Hope it works. As for the head stuff, we can only wait and see.
No good as usual.
Padilla, Kersh, Billz, Kuroda, Haeger
Brox, Sherrill, Tronco, Monasterios, RuOrtiz, RaOrtiz, Stultz, Weaver
Wade & Kuo go on the 60-Day DL, that opens spots for Haeger & Monasterios. Guerra, Jansen & Link get bumped off the 40-man to open up spots for Ortiz, Ortiz and Weaver.
About May when Belli's ready, if one of the Ortiz's or Stults hasn't pitched their way off the roster, one of them comes down with a mystery ailment and goes on the 60-day to open up a spot.
We just got done watching "Four Christmas' " with Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon. Now, they are watching "Spartacus – Blood and Sand" – a new show on Showtime. It's quite good and a very intense show.
How is the shower doing? ………..or should I ask how are you doing?
Ohhhhhh those kids!!!! Wally and Beav were up to their usual naughty selves. Then again, it is Wally's birthday. So, I guess he can have a little fun I suppose.
If Padilla's agent stipulates that if he is the Opening Day starter….he is to be paid as one. Is he still the Opening Day starter?
Yeeesh! Fell asleep. Too busy today I guess. Some answers before I go to sleep. Racing in 8 hours (if it's not raining).
As usual, enchanted's scenario is totally likely.
I don't think I could watch any Spartacus that doesn't have Kirk Douglas in it.
The shower is getting dangerously close to being finished after 2-1/2 months and $7000. Some grouting to be done in…..hmmm….. 8 hours, even if it's raining. At least it's not leaking any more.
Our boys can have all the fun they want as long as they don't do any permanent harm to anyone.
A quick check of Padilla's 2010 contract show that the only bonuses are innings milestones, not the Opening Day Starter.
It's fun to see how often the word "deferred" comes up in McCourt's contracts. Scroll up and down and you'll see what I mean.
Good night, and God Bless!
What is this……………….I can't choose a color – Okay – pretend the color is Bold Dodgerblue – lol!!!
Yeeesh! Fell asleep. Too busy today I guess. Some answers before I go to sleep. Racing in 8 hours (if it's not raining).
WE THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT, NOT KNOCKED OUT – lol!!

Gooooood morning, ITD!
Junie, tell him he was the guy with John Wayne in "The War Wagon". He watched part of that with me the other day.
Gee, I got a submission error, then they posted it WITHOUT the Warp! LOL!!! If this blog software was a product they were trying to sell, they'd never sell a single unit!
Have a fantastic Sunday, ITDland!!!!
No, didn't know Kirk Douglas, but once I explained, then he kind of knew 🙂
I'm curious gang…
Who do yo believe – Bellisario who said he did everything he could to get a visa, or Ned who says he loafed and didn't?
Ward Dear ~ Matthew said "Oh yeah, Gotcha!!!" – lol!!!
enchanted – just with the thought of how they seem to move players mysteriously on and off the DL list, there could be something very similar happening in Bellisario's case. Don't ya think?
I vote for Belli.
Can I take that that's one vote for Belli?
From the way Ned "pursued" Lee, Halliday and CC, I'd have to say I don't believe a word that comes out of Ned's mouth (or anyone elses in the front office for that matter.)
Nah, Kersh hasn't earned the opening day honors. Best leave that to PVL Padilla.
Hi Everybody
So far so good today.
Yep – this whole thing seems a little fishy to me. I just don't see Bellisario sitting back doing nothing (he seems like he wants to be here), but I have been wrong about players before.
I just finished reading about Belisario, while I was listening to the game.
They're doing the right thing with him.
Looks like they'll have to do without him for a while, at most 30 days.
As soon as he's ready, there's no choice but to activate him.
It would be good if he can face live batters, while he's restricted, since he can't be sent down to the minors.
Then they shouldn't let him out of the U.S. until he's no longer useful to the team (lol).
And another reason why Ned's an A-hole…
Re: Meintkiewicz
"I understood from the minute they signed Garret. I appreciated the chance and walked away quietly, figuring it was a no-brainer that I'd get my release. They found somebody better. When Joe told me, I assumed I was released. Next thing I know, my agent calls and says the club is calling me unprofessional for leaving. So I'm not bitter or pouting, but I feel like the Shawshank Redemption. Let me go. No place I'd rather be than with the Los Angeles Dodgers. But I'm not one of the 25. I'm OK with that. I get it. Then, why hold onto me?"
Going to be sooner rather than later that no player is going to want to deal with the Dodgers.
That really sucks, Enchanted. Such a lack of class on Ned's part.
Yeah, screw you Meintke if you want to try and hook-up with another team while there's still a little time. You haven't got a job, but you're staying around for a few days in case Anderson gets hurt.
Bravo. Another sign of the times from the Dodgers front office.
Good evening ITD!
Did I tell you that I joined an MLB BLoggers league this year? they had it last year so when I read they were talking about it I asked if I could join. Anyway the draft was two weekends ago. There are 22 teams and is also a keeper league. Anyway, I was able to draft Ethier. I have this kid that keeps sending me trade requests 'cause he wants Ethier. i keep rejecting requests after request, after request. He then sends me an email saying "I got to have Ethier, he is my favorite player, he signed this for me…..I will give you anyone in my team except Lincecum and Howard. I said in my lastest blog where I have posted an Ethier picture from my camera and also me with an Ethier shirt that NO, I am not trading Ethier! Now he posted in my blog that he is willing to trade Howard. Kid is driving crazy(er)
Oh did I tell you all that my MLB Bloggers baseball team's name is "Locos Azules"?

NSFW In case you were wondering what the phrase "Rotherham are at home" means up north, then look no further than a handy PDF guide to local slang published by Doncaster West NHS and purportedly aimed at "doctors who do not speak English as a first language".
The document notes that while phrases such as "floo", "fluzie" and "number 2" are "in common use locally", out-of-town sawbones should be aware that "some people may find them offensive". And no wonder, meaning as they do "vagina", "vagina" and "vagina", respectively.
Our particular favourite is "my husband/partner is good to me", which does not in fact mean he regularly brings home flowers, but rather that he "doesn't expect sex".
Oh yes, "Rotherham are at home" is a local euphemism for menstruation, as is "Barnsley's at home", so you can take your pick according to footballing preference. ®
Ta very much to James Thorpe for the tip-off. We suspect someone is having a laugh at the expense of Doncaster West NHS, and expect the offending PDF to be pulled shortly. Accordingly, if the above link gets the chop, try the copy we've saved for your reading pleasure right here.
On the other hand...
This just in: apparently the guide appeared in a couple of UK tabloid stories back in 2004 - at that time just in a non-web-based print form. The mind truly boggles.

Dangerous? Local officials stress nightclub safety
In the wake of two fatal club incidents– including the February 20 fire and panic that claimed 97 lives near Providence, Rhode Island– Charlottesville fire officials have put together a list of tips for club-goers and managers.
Firefighters began handing out the tip sheets the evening of Saturday, February 22, according to City spokesperson Maurice Jones.
Jones says Charlottesville already bans all indoor pyrotechnics. Even if, say, 1970s icons Kiss were slated to perform at Starr Hill?
"They'd be out of luck," says Jones. "As we learned in Rhode Island, to have pyrotechnics in such a small space is not a good idea."
Mike Lane, owner of the Outback Lodge, a Preston Avenue music hall, seconds that. "Pyrotechnics in a club with eight-foot ceilings– that's just stupid," says Lane.
Albemarle, meanwhile, has not taken any new safety steps, according to spokesperson Lee Catlin, because the county's fire inspection program is already "very rigorous."
Catlin says that while shows with indoor pyrotechnics, which videos indicate started the Rhode Island disaster, are not banned by the county, they do require a permit. And she notes that Fire Marshal Bob Lowrey now "can't imagine approving one."
Another unsettling– if less horrific– accident occurred just before noon on Saturday, February 22. The roof of a Toys R Us store in Lanham, Maryland, collapsed, apparently having been weakened by heavy rain and residual snow. Nine people were injured.
Here in Albemarle, just a few hours after the Toys R Us incident, dozens of excercisers were suddenly evacuated from the ACAC fitness center at Albemarle Square. Roof worries?
No, says fitness director Hunter Schwartz. "It was just a false alarm."
Schwartz says an electronic fire alarm tripped for some unknown reason– perhaps because of moisture or humidity in the "pull station." Several fire engines responded, and the building was evacuated for 20 to 30 minutes. That left several swimmers– clad only in caps and Speedos– gathered on a back stairway in the cold.
"When we don't know why the alarm went off," explains Schwartz, "we always evacuate."
The incident occurred around 5:20pm Saturday, according to an evacuated exerciser, who spoke on condition of confidentiality.

Word around campus is that Neil Marshall will direct the film adaptation of the graphic novel "Kong: King Of Skull Island". The story is set after the original tale of King Kong and follows the events after Kong's body had disappeared. I have nothing sarcastic to say about this because it sounds awesome. I will though point out how ridiculous it sounded when Tim Curry said "gorilla" in 1995's "Congo".
I have absolutely no idea how the movie business works. I say this because Dimension films has just picked up the rights to "Horns", the big screen adaption of the Joe Hill novel starring Daniel Radcliffe. This confuses me because the film has been in the works for a while now and I assume has wrapped on filming so why the hell is it it just getting picked up? I mean I get it when it's some B-movie softcore porn flick but this is Harry Potter. Someone explain this to me? I don't understand things.
Screen Gems has bought the rights to "The Unsacred", a new supernatural thriller from writer Amanda Gusack. You might know her from the 2005 horror film "In Memorium" but most likely you recognize the name from my one man all drag stage show based on the life of John Cusack. Think about it for a second, it makes total sense.
Jason Blum, the guy who's produced every horror movie you've scene in the past 10 years, is teaming up with Kevin McCormick to bring "White Smoke" to life. As you might have guessed by the title the project will follow a number of spooky time events that put the Vatican on its heels. No word yet on when the project will see the light of day but Jeff Richard and Mark Bianculli are lined up to pen the script for the project. Priests, they're so hot right now.
Mila Kunis joins Daron Aranofsky's "Black Swan", opposite Natalie Portman.
A new movie is in production based on the book "Kong: King of Skull Island", a prequel to "King Kong" that was released around the time of Peter Jackson's 2006 adaptation. Apparently it deals with how the giant became "king" of Skull Island (I guess that's self explanatory). Not sure how the story works with a bunch of apes and dinosaurs, but I'm sure there are some annoying humans in there somewhere.
Word coming out of Japan is that "The Host 2" has found some investors, although they're still trying to decide between multiple scripts that have been written.
Poster for the indie "All About Evil", starring Natasha Lyonne, about a young woman who inherits her family's theater chain and brings it back to life with a series of "all too real" grisly, gory short films.

If you set the controls for the heart of Peru, started chopping through the Earth (careful with that axe!), beginning in the highest mountain and kept chopping till you came out in Pompeii, in the year of 1972, let the Echoes flow through the Earth, from the past to the present, you'd have to call it Hacia Aquellos Bosques de Inmensidad, (meaning ''Toward those woods of immensity''), a 4 track EP album, by Montibus Communitas.
One other fascinating laboratory that studies plant vibrational energies is Damanhur, an intentional community in Italy. In this peaceful and spiritual ecovillage there is a laboratory in the woods that offers a beautiful choir of singing trees. Yeah, you read that right... singing trees. Since 1976, researchers at Damanhur have invented and developed equipment that can capture electromagnetic changes on the surface of leaves and roots, transforming them into actual sounds. The best part is, these trees seem to control their electrical responses via a feedback mechanism, and demonstrate a kind of awareness and preference for types of music. The singing plants and trees of Damanhur have sparked off such a worldwide fascination that the people began organizing "Plant Concerts", where musicians perform to the music created by the trees.Watch this 15-minute video of a beautiful demonstration singing plants while one of Damanhur's researchers explain the phenomenon.
@40hz, do you remember that book 'Supernature' - it claimed plants responded to people just *thinking* about cutting the plant. No idea if true. Would be interesting to see the same experiment (as in the video!) tried with humans or other animals.-tomos (September 05, 2013, 06:09 AM)

Truth be told, Bellator Season 6 tournament winner Marcos Galvao (13-5-1 MMA, 4-2 BFC) was happy to see his countryman Eduardo Dantas (14-3 MMA, 4-0 BFC) defeat Zach Makovsky to claim Bellator's bantamweight title. And now, he'll be just as happy to take it from him.
"It won't be hard for me to fight Eduardo Dantas because this is a business," Galvao told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "We are both hired by Bellator to put on a show inside the cage. Outside is something completely different.
"We are going for the finish."
Six years the senior of the two, Galvao met Dantas when the younger fighter was still in his teens. Dantas was but a yellow belt at the time, but Galvao immediately saw the potential in the youngster.
"I helped train him when he was younger," Galvao said. "We've been friends for about five years now."
Because of that experience, Galvao knows exactly what he's facing at tonight's Bellator 89 event, where he challenges Dantas for his title belt in the evening's main event.
"Eduardo Dantas is very explosive and very unpredictable," Galvao said. "I know I have to be very well trained, and I am. But my experience is my advantage. I've trained and fought all over the world, and I'm very calm in my fights."
Meanwhile, the champion may actually be the one entering the cage with a little bit of concern. He took a bout outside of the promotion this past August and was knocked out by the then-unheralded Tyson Nam. Thursday's fight marks his first appearance since that loss, and it remains to be seen how he'll rebound from the first knockout defeat of his career.
Of course, wounded prey is often the most dangerous, so the pendulum could swing either way.
Galvao doesn't care to make a prediction on his opponent's demeanor but does believe the two will combine for a memorable affair.
"I can't really measure if he's my most dangerous fight because all the guys I've fought, and especially those in Bellator, were extremely dangerous," Galvao said. "This fight will not make it to the judges. I will be ready to finish with either a knockout or a submission."
And with that Galvao hopes he's relieved any concerns that a bout between two admitted friends will be some type of glorified sparring match or that either may hesitate to deliver a devastating blow when presented the opportunity.
For Galvao, a man previously burned in controversial split-decision losses to both Alexis Vila and Joe Warren, there is simply too much at stake. The time to capitalize on his opportunity is now, regardless of who's standing in his way.
"Fighting in front of so many on Spike TV is a dream come true," Galvao said. "I'm very honored to be given the opportunity. I want to show the world the real Marcos Galvao. I feel very underrated, and I know I deserve more respect than I get.
"It will mean a lot to become Bellator's bantamweight world champion. I will quiet a lot of critics who don't believe I'm the best bantamweight in the world. I know I am – I just have to prove it."
Bellator 89 takes place tonight at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, N.C. The evening's main card airs on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com.

Ky. police officer fined $2 for striking man
Man could have faced more than year in jail
A Louisville police officer has been fined $2 after being convicted of official misconduct and harassment for striking a handcuffed suspect multiple times.
A Jefferson District Jury on Friday fined officer David Graham $1 for each of the charges stemming from the March 31, 2012 arrest of 19-year-old John R. Sanders. A videotape of Sanders' arrest shows Graham poking Sanders multiple times in the throat and slapping him.
Graham could have faced up to 12 months in jail on the misconduct charge and up to 90 days in jail for the harassment charge.
First Assistant Jefferson County Attorney Julie Hardesty called the guilty verdict "significant," even though the sentence was small.
Defense attorney Steve Schroering told The Courier-Journal his client was disappointed at being convicted, but thankful the jury gave him the "absolute minimum penalty."
Schoering said he would assume that the jury's message in imposing the $2 fine was "that while he was technically wrong in his conduct, they forgave him under the circumstances."
Graham, a Fourth Division officer who has been on the police force since 1999, could still face disciplinary action from the police department. Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said the officer remains on a paid administrative leave imposed last April pending the outcome of a continuing investigation by the department's Professional Standards Unit.
Sanders and another man were accused of punching, kicking and using pepper spray on someone in Old Louisville while taking an e-reader and other items. That case is still pending.

At 5" the double sided design is perfect size to see & read. Includes a hanging strap to hang your tag on virtually any car seat handle or stroller handle.• PRINTED DIRECTLY ON PLASTIC
Let's face it, babies are darn cute and irresistible! It is stressful for new mom's when everyone wants to touch your little one. These signs are a great way to politely ask others to admire your precious baby from a distance and not touch them.
They can be used on your baby's car seat, stroller, crib, or baby carrier! This includes a velcro strip that allows you to secure the tag tightly in place wherever you would like it! Basically anywhere your little one will rest. This saying is printed on the FRONT & BACK of each tag. They are printed on plastic for rigidity and for easy cleaning. Simply wipe clean with your anti-bacteria wipes.
These signs were inspired by my nephew Carter who was born with heart problems. It was very stressful when the slightest bacteria or virus could be so dangerous to his health! And now I have a preemie of my own (30 weeks) and we are battling the trials of the NICU.
These signs help new mom's not feel uncomfortable with people around their newborn! Definitely a stress reliever!
These make great baby-shower gifts as well!
***Not recommended to be used on car seat handle when vehicle is in motion. Velcro strap allows you to easily add and remove the tag from the car seat.***
- Review
"No Touching" Car Seat SignsCan I customize the "no touching" tag design or wording?
Unfortunately, the tags are manufactured and can not be customized.
Do the tags include something to hang them with?
Yes, they include a hanging strap that allows you to secure the tag to various sizes of diameters of car seat handles.
How can I hang my tag on the canopy of my car seat or the canopy of my stroller?
You can get one of our stroller clips to hang your tag off of your car seat. They are a $1 accessory when you purchase the clip and the tag together or you can buy the clip separately for $4.50.
How do I clean my tag?
The signs are completely waterproof. Feel free to use soap and water at home or your favorite sanitizer wipe when you are out and about! The hanging strap can be cleaned with soap and water to remove lint.
Where do I hang my car seat tag?
The included strap allows you to hang the tag anywhere on the car seat handle. I would recommend to the left or the right side of the middle. That way it is not in the way when you are lifting the car seat. There is also an option to add a hanging clip to clip your tag onto the canopy of a stroller or car seat as a paid accessory.
Do I ever need to remove my tag?
Yes, it is recommended to be removed from the car seat while in the car. Also, it is recommended to be removed if you are collapsing and storing your stroller.

Hicks scripts Appy League dream finish
Two outs. Bases loaded. Championship on the line. It's the scenario every ballplayer imagines from the time he's 5 years old and playing in his parents' backyard all the way until he reaches the pros. D.J. Hicks got a chance to live out that childhood fantasy.
Hicks slugged a walk-off grand slam in the decisive third game of the Appalachian League Finals, giving the Elizabethton Twins the title and, in the process, a MiLBY.
With everything at stake against the Burlington Royals, Hicks stepped to the plate with two outs in the 11th inning and the game tied, 6-6. A walk, a single, even an error would have sent the home crowd into a frenzy. Instead, the Florida native gave fans the ultimate thrill.
"To be honest, I felt relief because the bases were loaded and there were two outs and I thought the pressure was on the pitcher, that he had to make some good pitches or I'd get a walk and the game would be over," Hicks said.
"Earlier in the game, they did a lot of pitching away, so I had a good idea of their approach to pitch to me. My approach for that at-bat was to think away and react in. Thankfully, I worked it to a full count and they gave me a pitch I could handle away. And the rest is history."

Devenski K's 16 in no-hitter, Lexington
If you're looking for a frame of reference to understand just how incredible Chris Devenski's 16-strikeout, no-hit performance on Sept. 1 was, you need only to know the name of one man: Nolan Ryan. "The Ryan Express" is the only Major Leaguer to strike out as many as 16 batters while tossing a no-hitter, something he did twice during his Hall of Fame career. Not bad company for the 21-year-old right-hander, especially when you consider the start was just his fifth in the Astros organization following a trade with the White Sox. Voting Results »
"It was an unbelievable feeling," Hicks said. "I think the team was on the field before I even got to first base. Half the team went to me, half the team went to home [plate]. It was crazy."
Hicks' blast capped a series full of comebacks. After dropping the opening game, the Twins trailed, 3-1, in the sixth inning of Game 2 before rallying for a 4-3, 11-inning victory. At the center of that rally was Hicks, who singled to set up the winning run (he left for pinch-runner Kelvin Mention).
The Twins waited even longer to start their comeback in Game 3, trailing, 6-1, heading to the bottom of the ninth. One out from elimination, Hicks was there again, producing a run by getting plunked with the bases loaded and scoring on Adam Walker's game-tying three-run homer.
"For me, it says a lot about our coaches," Hicks said. "They always made sure, no matter what the score was, we always had a chance. They had us prepared for the playoffs and we just did what they said. And it got us the ring.
"That's just what you live for is those big games, playoffs. I felt like my teammates put me in good positions in both of those games to help out."
It was the perfect cap to another successful year for the Twins, who recorded a league-leading 43 regular-season wins. In fact, only five teams in all of Minor League Baseball had a higher winning percentage than Elizabethton's .662 mark.
The E-Twins also are no strangers to championships, having won five over the last 10 years. During that stretch, they've yet to post a losing record in the regular season, all under the helm of veteran manager Ray Smith.
Hicks enjoyed a solid career at the University of Central Florida in Orlando before the Twins selected him in the 17th round of the 2012 Draft. After redshirting for medical reasons in 2010, he led the Knights with 14 homers in both 2011 and 2012, topping Conference USA with 72 RBIs as a junior last spring.
"College definitely got me ready, more than high school," Hicks said. "Terry Rooney, my coach at UCF, helped me out over the years. We played the best of the best in college, and in the pros you see the best of the best every day. I think that's what makes it a little easier to adapt to the pro life."
Still, nothing prepares you for your first postseason experience as a professional. The 22-year-old first baseman passed with flying colors, leading the circuit with three playoff homers and eight RBIs while batting a solid .280.
"It was unbelievable," Hicks said. "I've grown up playing on some winning teams and it's awesome. Nothing can top that. It's a special group of guys to win it with. We all still talk and keep in touch with each other, and it says something special about the Twins."
Hicks always will be remembered in Elizabethton for that one swing of the bat. He needed just one word to describe the way the season ended.
"Thankful," he said. "For the experience and definitely the outcome."

I Want to Be Baptized (Friend)
Music for Children, Music from the Friend
1. I want to be baptized in clothes pure and white,
To follow the Savior, to do what is right.
I'll covenant with Him to always be true,
For this is the thing that He want me to do.
2. I want to be baptized when I have turned eight,
To enter Christ's kingdom through baptism's gate.
I'll take His name gladly, be known as His child,
And strive to be worthy, more Christ-like and mild.
3. I want to be baptized by God's priesthood pow'r,
Be given His spirit, be cleansed as by fire.
The Spirit will guide me if I will obey
And help me return to my Father one day.

We keep hearing the same sing-song from the advocates of extending Bush's 2001 tax cuts for the wealthy. They claim repealing it would not only hinder job growth but would lead to further economic distress. Unbelievable testament to warped logic.
Since that infamous tax cut our country has been in a downward spiral; jobs have languished and the economy tanked. The claim that continuing the same tax cuts for the wealthy that brought us to this point will now magically do exactly the opposite and lead us to employment growth and economic prosperity, is no less than insane.
Under Eisenhower the high-income rate was 91%; under Kennedy it was 76% and under Clinton: 36% to 39% for the top two income tax rates.
Obama (initially) would have the top two income tax rates return to the Clinton era which was 36% (from 33%) and 39.6% (from 35%). In addition, their investment tax rates would go up to 20% from 15%. That means returning to the exact rates under which Clinton held court for two terms and we flourished.
It is also what disenters refer to as a Tax Hike rather than a Tax Return, which is what it is. All the hoopla is about a 3% to 3.6% return in income and 5% return to investment tax rates.
That is what we are lead to believe will bring the wealthy to their knees and will prevent them from creating more of those invisible jobs they have created since and due to the Bush Tax Cut.
Be real!
The disparity between the CEO's of a corporation and the workers has exponentially risen through the years. In 1950 CEO's earned 24 times the average worker's pay; 122 times in 1990; 362 times in 2005, and by 2009 it has exploded to 550 times the wages of the average worker. Currently a CEO earns more in one work day than an average worker earns in 52 weeks.
Insane indeed.
There is a relevant popular saying, "Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Another version is even more apropos, "Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results".
As that rare and recently deceased great humanitarian Senator once said, "When does the greed stop?"

German naval forces under Admiral Franz von Hipper, encouraged by the success of a surprise attack on the British coastal towns of Hartlepool and Scarborough the previous month, set off toward Britain once again, only to be intercepted by a squadron of British cruisers led by Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty on the morning of January 24, 1915, near the Dogger Bank in the North Sea.
Knowing his Scouting Squadron would be overpowered by the British, Hipper turned his boats around, figuring his ships would be able to outrun the British boats in pursuit. Beatty's cruisers were faster than von Spee anticipated, however, and caught up to the Germans within an hour. At about 9 a.m., the British flagship, HMS Lion, opened fire on the Germans from a distance of more than 20,000 yards. The lead German ship, Seydlitz, was soon ablaze; 192 of its crew members died but the ship itself was saved despite the damage. Of the four German ships in Hipper's squadron, only the oldest and biggest, the Blucher, was sunk, killing 782 men. The demise of the Blucher was captured on moving film; an engraving of a still in the film, of its sailors sliding off the sinking ship into the sea, was later used to adorn silver cigarette cases sold as souvenirs in Britain.
The Lion herself took a beating, but only 15 British sailors were killed in the battle, which ended later that same day when Beatty, fearful of running into German mines and believing the enemy was setting up for a submarine attack, turned his ships around and let the rest of Hipper's squadron escape.

Next Congress expected to look very much like this one
- 69% of Americans disapprove of Congress, Gallup reports
- The number of Republicans and Democrats isn't going to change much
- Gridlock has defined Congress for the past two years
WASHINGTON — After more than $2 billion spent on congressional campaigns, an onslaught of negative ads, and historically low approval ratings, voters are still on the verge Tuesday of rehiring members of Congress by the same partisan margins that currently divide the House and Senate.
"We're seeing in 2012 an election that seems to be demonstrating that the country is fairly equally divided in its viewpoints," said former representative Tom Reynolds, a New York Republican and the party's former campaign chief.
Wednesday could bring about a frustrating reality to the 69% of Americans who disapprove of Congress, which ranks among the lowest pre-election measurements recorded by Gallup, and the gridlock that has defined the institution for the past two years.
There will be new faces in Congress next year, but the number of Republicans and Democrats isn't going to change much.
According to data compiled by the non-partisan Cook Political Report, there are 62 U.S. House seats with no incumbent on the ballot — a record since 1992 — but not enough seats are forecast to change partisan hands to upset the current balance of power. House Republicans are heading in to Election Day with a 242-seat majority, and Cook projects the likeliest outcome for a zero- to five-seat gain for Democrats.
MORE:Election Forecast
The U.S. Senate could be an even more dramatic reinforcement of the status quo. Democrats control the chamber 53-47, and Democrats are not only favored to maintain control of the chamber, but it is a "strong" possibility that the margin will not change at all, according to Reid Wilson, an election analyst for National Journal's Hotline.
For example, Republican wins in Nebraska, North Dakota and Montana would be offset by Democratic wins in Maine, Massachusetts and Indiana. If no other seats change hands, it's "game over," Wilson said, for lingering GOP hopes of a takeover.
The outcome means the next president is all but certain to face a similar, divided Congress. "There will be a check on the president, whoever it is," said Don Stewart, a top aide for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
President Obama will once again face Republicans in the House led by Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, while a President-elect Mitt Romney will be greeted by a combative Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
In a statement last week, Reid characterized it "laughable" that a Democratic Senate would help Romney move his agenda through the chamber.
"Whether we get different results in 2013 and 2014 depends entirely on whether negotiations go forward on a different basis and in a different spirit," said William Galston, a former aide in the Clinton administration and political analyst at the Brookings Institution. "I think we've learned there are only two alternatives: gridlock or compromise. There is no third alternative."
The potential for gridlock is greater than the potential for compromise, because neither party will be able to claim a mandate for their policies if the divided Congress is reinforced on Election Day, Reynolds said.
"There is no mandate, and it means that people have got to come and sit in a room and figure out what solutions there can be and will be to govern," Reynolds said. "I don't think the country has the luxury for the government to be at an endless impasse."

'I'm dying': Controlled wife finally loses it
IT'S been weeks in the making, but it's finally happened: Married At First Sight's Nadia has actually lost it, becoming so overwhelmed at the final dinner party she walks out and locks herself in a cupboard.
The moment is truly stunning.
It's the pinnacle in a series of bizarre moments Nadia serves up in Sunday night's episode, that has all the couples meet for a boozy dinner party one last time before they take time apart and reconvene to give their verdicts at the vow renewal ceremony.
Nadia's terrible relationship with Anthony has left her with PTSD and, while getting ready for the party, we watch her aggressively attack the ends of her hair with a brush. When I was 15 my cat went through a similar stage where she started manically licking her fur so much that it all fell out and the vet diagnosed her with depression.
I'm not saying Nadia is struggling with the same issues my cat was, but in life you've got to take note of the red flags as they appear.
Anthony tries to make conversation with her but she ignores him. She would literally rather stick a pen in her eye.
In the Uber on the way to the dinner party, Anthony talks down to Nadia yet again and the only thing that's stopping her from opening the door and body rolling out of the moving car onto the bitumen is the fact Anthony thought ahead and put the child lock on to prevent her from escaping.
For Michelle, she's still trying to understand the door metaphor that featured heavily in Jesse's letter to her on their final date.
"I'm not quite sure I've seen the door? I'm not quite sure I'm ready to walk through it," Michelle tells us, unsure if she's even using Jesse's door metaphor properly.
At the dinner party, all the other couples are fun and happy and talking about how much they like each other.
And Nadia wishes she threw her body under the Uber as it drove away.
Then, out of nowhere, as everyone's laughing and telling real fun stories, Nadia just stands up and walks out.
Susan, who hates drama and conflict, is loving every second of it.
Omg Susan's face when Nadia locked herself in the cupboard lol 🤑 #9married pic.twitter.com/knERQBwtiM— James Weir (@hellojamesweir) March 19, 2017
After storming out of the group conversation without warning, Nadia walks into a cupboard and locks the door. Okay, I'm not sure it's a cupboard - it may be an actual room. But she locks herself in there nonetheless.
"I just needed time to regroup," Nadia explains to us afterwards. "Because I'm not going to be like, 'I'm great! I'm great!' and then inside, 'I'm dying!'"
Once Nadia comes out of the cupboard, Anthony asks a million times if she's OK but this only irritates her more.
After demanding Nadia eat a "spud", Anthony then suggests they go around the table and have everyone describe their favourite moment of the experiment. No one wants to participate because it sounds so boring so Anthony answers his own question, bringing up the time Nadia brought him along to Bikram yoga.
"I felt like I was a giraffe having a drink at that time," he says and Nadia hates him even more.
He then tries to touch her and she actually shudders and almost voms.
While Nadia's shuddering at the thought of her husband's touch, Jesse gets as drunk as a door.
Feeling like the drama isn't peaking as much as it should be, expert John Aiken literally speedwalks into the dining room to drop off a "box of honesty question" and then speedwalks out again. Tailored to each couple, everyone has to answer their questions in front of the group.
This is a terrible idea but it's also fabulous. It's just like when you get drunk with your best friends in high school and someone thinks it'll be fun if you all go around the group and reveal what you hate about each other and then things are never the same again.
Michelle's questions for Jesse only encourage him to start talking about doors again.
Michelle and her twin sister Sharon have this weird twin rivalry going on. Michelle's super jealous of how happy Sharon is with Nick. But sometimes I think Sharon is jealous of the tension in Michelle's relationship, so she tries to create drama with Nick to keep things interesting.
The questions spark a fight between Sharon and Nick, with Sharon revealing she basically doesn't trust her husband.
"I think that's a f*ckin load of shit," Nick says. "No, f*ck ya, I'm sick of these questions," he says.
Sharon then starts listing things she doesn't want in a relationship with Nick, and her entire monologue ends up sounding like the lyrics to an Alanis Morissette song.
"I don't want to be with a big drinker. I don't want to be with a guy who's at the strippers every second weekend. I don't want to be your mum. I don't wanna have to baby you," she reads from the lyrics booklet of the Jagged Little Pill CD.
By the time we get around the table to Anthony and Nadia, girlfriend has had enough of the evening.
"Have you ever had second thoughts about this relationship? If so, when and why," Anthony reads a question from their box.
"Absolutely," Nadia shoots back.
Anthony isn't happy someone's made him look like a wang. Only he's allowed to do that.
"Where and why," he says, daring her to go on.
"I think its happened every step through the process," she says, basically implying she's constantly rethinking this poor life decision every second of every day.
Next question. "Do you believe my feelings for you are 100 per cent genuine?" Anthony asks.
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Yeah? I do?" Nadia replies, with an uncertain inflection.
Anthony's perturbed Nadia is acting so aloof. And he thinks she's behaving this way because he hasn't said he loves her.
He tells us he won't say it until he's ready and "that needs to be enough for her".
He then starts quoting Titanic.
"I get the feeling you're not prepared to jump unless I do," Jack tells Rose in front of everyone at the dinner table.
So nobody jumps. And as the sound of Celine Dion begins to softly play, Nadia looks down into the spud Anthony demanded she eat and wonders why she ever came out of that cupboard.

And along came true inspiration…
One year ago today, we posted here about a young man named Christopher Ramirez who was the talk of Spring Training. When Make-a-Wish called us to tell us about a huge Dodger fan from San Francisco, it was expected that this 17-year-old might not make it to see Opening Day. Sadly, with so many of the Make-a-Wish kids we're fortunate enough to encounter, that is the case.
Christopher came with his sister and his mother to visit Camelback Ranch. Under Ned Colletti's orders, we treated him like a big leaguer for a day. He took infield/outfield with the team, he took batting practice and he sat in the dugout for a big league Spring game. His story was covered by many media outlets and those of us who spent any time with him took great joy and amazement in his positive outlook, given the circumstances.
Throughout last season, we received updates from him via email about how the inoperable brain tumor he had has been shrinking and we stayed cautiously optimistic. We even got to see him at a game up North in San Francisco. But when he arrived at camp yesterday, with his cancer fully in remission, it was easily the best news to come out of Camelback all year. It was the epitome of ThinkCure!
I've written it here before and it's worth repeating…these are the best parts of this job. The incredible things that the Dodger organization can do for others are what makes this franchise unique. We've seen it time and time again – maybe not quite as clear as Christopher's story – but I believe I speak for all my colleagues when I say that we are humbled to work for such an incredible franchise.
In case you missed the original video and article from last year, check it out and please continue to keep Christopher and his family in your thoughts.

That's great news Josh!! Continued good luck and health Christopher!!!
as a Dodgers fan, I enjoy what the Dodgers do on the field. This a great story…glad to see the kid is in remission and the Dodgers made his wish come true. However, the Dodgers did not make this happen. The God of the universe, who is in control of everything that happens, caused his remission.
Indeed…TRUE INSPIRATION!!! for us all… Thank you DODGERS.
I am happy to hear that Christopher is doing well. Keep on trucking!!
Thank you for a great story and some very good news!!!!!
I agree…awesome news!!!!!
Just dropping by to say hello
Christopher Ramirez, may he be back every year until he signed by a major league team.
Good news is good to read.
Everyone ready? I'm about to say something about the upcoming season that isn't entirely negative.
Maybe Mattingly won't be a clone of Torre. I sure figured he would be. Right at the end of this article on Kemp's baserunning you'll find:
"Mattingly added he did not want a so-called situational left-hander, the kind of pitcher who faces one batter ? Adrian Gonzalez or Ryan Howard, say ? and then leaves the game.
"That can kind of blow out your staff," Mattingly said."
I guess he wasn't snoozing during the games with Joe after all.
Hi'Ya Dad!!! Let's hope so. I don't think Mattingly can do any worse than JoJo. I have always thought that Torre was/is overrated. I'm ready for a younger/fresher approach. For this team to be competitive, its going to come down to pitching and defense. We'll be lucky to score the league average in runs. It may be too early to say, but, the Uribe deal could turn out very bad. Heck, I would have saved the money and given the 2B job to Carroll!!! JMO!!!! Have a great week my friend!!!!
I hope I am proved wrong on this one!!!! LOL!!!
Heyya jhall, mi amigo!
Yeah, everyone says Torre was a great guy. My Dad was a prince. Everyone loved him, but he was a crummy baseball manager. He played his kid too much!
It almost always comes down to pitching and defense. Strong up the middle? Are we? I can't even say "maybe" until I get to center. Yawn Uribe will prove to be the second coming of Dave Kingman………..with half the HRs.
Later pal!
I just sent Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness into my SPAM FOLDER!! Dude keeps ripping on James Loney. %#$#@^#$^$#!!!
I stand by my prediction — now entering its fourth year — that James Loney will put a scare into .400 sometime between 2008 and 2014.
I'm a sick puppy because I get optimistic every Spring. I still believe in the core of MartinLoneyKempBroxtonEthierBills (albeit now minus Martin) along with the even younger Kershaw. The three-ring circus that has screwed this team and done everything in its power to destroy the work of (how sad, I forgot his first name) White is at least down one clown this year as JoJo took his act on the road.
The Fox-McCourt years remind me of the 23rd Psalm "Though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death I will fear no evil, for the Big Blue Fan in the Sky is with me …"
This suffering will be but for a moment, and then new ownership will come. Please, oh please, let it be an owner who will restore dignity and World Championships to this once-great franchise.
I know it just ST but it look like Sands just hit his 2nd HR's a 3 runs shot and a triple to bad he probably won't make the team what that crap in LF that we have and also look at that Paul just hit his 1st. Damn Redding trying to pulled an Ortiz's on making the team. Are we really going to run more this year? it look like Lopes is helping a lot so far Velez 3 and Gwynn 5 SB's of the year.
I hate to say this but I don't care what Uribe number is and I want every positions fill out by a youngster under 30.
Fantastic posts ITDers!!!!
Josh – wonderful story! Thanks for sharing!
Until the everyday pitchers are pitching into the later innings, It's hard to judge how well some of these homeruns hit late in spring training games really are. I don't know the answer to left field, but I think Xavier and Sands deserve a legitimate shot.
I know that this reply is late NSB but thanks for that picture of Kuo during a bat flip and I wish is was real lol.
Geez, do we need a new owner or what?!!!!!!!!!!
Jhall!!!! YES WE DO!!!
Kenny G is reporting that Kim Ng is leaving the Dodgers to become a VP of Baseball operations with MLB
My friend Erik hosted my blog again. This time with a parody song for Andre Ethier. He is clever, check it out!
In his writeup Steve Dilbeck says that Ng is leaving the "Dodger cuckoo's nest", which I find an apt description of the owner/ front office situation. Nobody with any real capability should be staying on, and that, of course, includes the players the first chance they get to go somewhere with a winning future. Let's see a lot of EMPTY SEATS and see Frank squeezed OUT by MLB, the other owners, his lenders, and above all the Dodger FANS.
I agree Bear – players will flee first chance they get. My only question is, why doesn't Joe take Ned with him too?
Of course Ned has no real capability, so I guess that's my answer.
Anyone with talent avoids this team like the plague. Its not coincidence that only the hasbeens and neverweres are the only ones that meet Ned's third absurd requirement of "wanting to be Dodgers." I would too if no other organization was offering me a contract.
BTW, Ned's first two criteria of becomming a Dodger are, (1) Your best playing days were 5-6 years ago, and (2) You once played for the Giants.
This [dis]organization is beyond a bad joke. Its pretty sad when your best acquisition during the offseason was a 60 year old coach.

Buying, selling, or renting property?
Real estate refers to land, as well as anything permanently attached to the land, such as buildings and other structures, and covers more than just the drafting of contracts for the purchase and sale of property. Both federal and state laws regulate real estate transactions. The Federal Fair Housing Act, for example, prohibits discrimination in real estate transactions on account of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Many states have enacted similar legislation that prohibits discrimination on the basis of certain characteristics.
Attorneys in this field may handle leasing issues, landlord-tenant disputes, eviction proceedings and homeowner association (HOA) problems. Other matters within this practice area include title disputes, mortgages, covenants, easements, and equitable servitudes. Many real estate issues can affect both commercial and individual renters and landlords. Real estate lawyers who represent commercial interests may also focus on land use, zoning, environmental law, or eminent domain issues.
Some states provide a certification for lawyers who have demonstrated experience and competency in the practice of real estate law. These attorneys must meet certain educational, experience, and examination requirements to receive the certification as a specialist.
Deed: The legal document that transfers the ownership of real property from one party to another.
