They are all going to prison for 14 months on the reduced weapons charges Stahl signed and handed to the attorney chickie in the club's parking lot. Opie tore up the paperwork Jax signed about testifying against the IRA guys. I imagine, by the time S4 comes around, the first episode might...

Kuo has awesome stuff. Hopefully, the duct tape they are using to keep his elbow in place holds for the year. And even Sherrill is starting to come around. It's also nice to see that Joe isn't running Troncoso out there every single night anymore. I was starting to think his arm might fall off...

Yeah, that series actually gave me a glimmer of hope that the pen was starting to simmer down. And the offense is rolling. Even Martin is finding his stroke! I'm not sure what happened to Haegar. I got to see him pitch in Spring Training against the Mariners -- The knuckleball was absolutely...

Don't look now, but the Blue have won three in a row!

Jesus, If you want Sherrill, you can have him. He's been a steaming pile of s--t since getting racked in the playoffs last season. Glad the Blue are finally getting back to the Dodger Stadium. What a putrid road trip. Wake up bats, wake up!

Definitely happy with the picks today. Jon Gruden on ESPN calling the Niners his "surprise" team in the first round for taking the two lineman and making huge improvements on the OLine. It helps Alex Smith and it helps the running game. Singletary knows exactly what he wants to do with this...

If you prefer, we in the media can use the word "newser" instead.There's also the impromptu "newser," say, at a crime scene when a police officer gives information and all the photogs & reporters gather 'round to shoot it. It commonly referred to as a "Gang Bang."Retired Phrase...

I'm deleting almost everything I agree with... so not to clog up the issues I have with this post.

Nice to get another arm in the mix (and a win today), but the Padilla signing makes me wonder if Kuroda is going to be out for the year. I think the roster expansion is going to be a big help. It will give Torre a few more options to rest everyday guys and make situational pitching changes...

I checked out Gran Torino tonight. I liked this movie a lot. Great juxtaposition of an old racist learning to love his hmong neighbors as family and a help a boy become a man. Had several fun (albeit quite racist) moments and Clint will remind you of your onry grandpa. Plus, an ending no...

ESPN reporting that the Niners may be trying to pick up Julius Peppers. It's an insider story so I can't get to it. Anybody else seen anything on this?

I'm barely able to contain the excitement right now. I hope to God this is true. I don't know if A-Rod is a lock yet -- but I think it definitely puts Dodgers in pole position to sign him. Only wild card is how badly Rodriguez wants to play shortstop. I was thinking tonight with the Braves...

I retired before the draft this year. Its been great so far. No stressing out about my running backs not scoring touchdowns, which 3rd WR to start, or worrying about how long to wait before drafting a quarterback. No scouring the waiver wires every week, or complaining about injury reports -- Or...

I'm hoping this is just a bump in the road for Penny. The good news is that the team managed to rally big even though pitching let us down, aside from Sammy and Proctor. I think the Loaiza pickup will bear fruit. I mean, the guy is fresh and rested. I know this team is better than Arizona and I...

A few random thoughts as we begin the second half run: We're sizzling coming out of the Break! How relieving was it to see Penny come out last night and just shut down the Phils? That Blister he suffered in the previous start may be the key to the Dodgers having the Ace all season this year...
