Love the sortable, love all sorts of little extras, still would like to see them have every box score.

Tatis has been working out at second.

Can we give up?

I like the Twins in 6 over the MFYs.

I think any team that would start a guy named Brett over a guy named Melky has no poetry in its soul. The Twins have a player named Boof?

Things Tad did twice: He circled the room twice and then exited He was made that guy by Dre twice this week.

I love spring training.

Three. I claim Willie Mays.

I think the Hudson Valley Renegades are going to get the rest of my baseball dollars.

My brother's coming to town, and he's choosing the spot. So...I guess I'll see how good the rubdowns are.

Should I spend 92 bux for a seat in the Caesar's Club? For those prices it seems like you should get Plato's Retreat.

Ralph just saying he got a panicked call from his son yesterday. He'd heard on the radio that a Hall of Famer died, wanted to make sure it wasn't Ralph.

A friend of mine who was a baseball writer back in the day told me that Yogi Berra was the best-hung athlete he ever saw.

Had to blog about this.[/url:3974xxx9]

And...so much for "baseball been berry berry good to Chico."

Reading it again, he's stupider, and I'm angrier. When was the last time a beat writer for a daily newspaper gave nitty gritty play by play. Has this guy ever read a sports page?

If this guy thinks "He�s very Will Ferrell-ish in his humor" is getting inside a character, he's not going to be a good writer on food or anything else.

]Kevin Coughlin - a former photo editor with The Players Club, a year-old lifestyle magazine for professional athletes - writes in the April issue of GQ that Dykstra referred to cover subjects Derek Jeter, Chris Paul and Tiger Woods as "spearchuckers." Dykstra also allegedly told Coughlin over the phone: "Nobody can call me a racist - I put three darkies and a b---- on my first four covers." The woman he was referring to was Danica Patrick. "My initial reaction was utter disgust, and as I'm reading the article, I'm getting more infuriated," Triche said. Dykstra categorically denied Coughlin's accusations in an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, including a charge that he used the word "faggy" to describe a page layout in front of a gay designer. "I'm not going down in the dirt with this guy," Dykstra said of Coughlin in the Inquirer story. "He's (ticked) off because he got fired. He was masquerading as a photo editor." In his defense against being called a racist, Dykstra said he lived with Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden, both African-Americans, when they played together for the Mets. "What else can this guy say to hurt me?" Dykstra added. "It's all lies.... I'm not reducing myself to this. What a crazy thing." Why can the Daily News say sp***ch****r and d***ie and f**gy but not b****?

Some guy was trying to produce a Hanson concert at Opus 40 a few years ago, gave me a CD of their new stuff. Good.

Felipe Alou?

Actually, he didn't know how he was doing, because he was pitching with the lights out.

Thanks for the good times, Duaner, and damn that taxi.

It's relatively rare that your fifth starter is going to be your ace. On most teams he'll be not quite as good as your first four starters, and you may have to audition a few candidates even during the course of the season.

I like Marlon.

Watching "Shea Goodbye" day. A lump in my throat all over again.
