Section517

Last season when I was constipated for two days, I thought of Joe Blanton and was able to go immediately. I shall salute him some time today with a two flusher.

Why couldn't it be the elder Mike? Heck, I'll settle for Mike Butcher.

Also encouraging are the Halo hitters appear to be working the count. Even FUBAR worked his AB to a full count. That alone was impressive (for him).

Don't forget to include Garret Anderstink jerseys were discounted with the Vlad and Figgy jerseys. I bought several Vlad jerseys regularly priced at $200 for $20 each and gave them as stocking stuffers to family members.

As with all 3 ways, there's always one who gets screwed the most. And it seems the ChiSox took it both ways.

Nightmare visions of Gary Gaetti redux are coming to mind. Dipoto is playing checkers while other GMs are playing chess.

LAPD and Sheriff's are on tactical alert throughout Los Angeles County.

It's 2:30am and can't sleep. Part of the reason is because I already paid for next year's season tix. How convenient that this decision was made AFTER the season ticket renewal deadline. Yet Butcher is probably sleeping like a baby right now knowing he's employed for another season.

Which USC style do you mean: Would that be to slice and dice them ala Orenthal (OJ) Simpson? Shoot up their residence ala Cole Ford? Have Sosh and Dipoto as occupants in a speeding vehicle which slams into building killing all passengers ala Daryl Russell and Mike Bastienelli? Fall off a cliff like Mario Danelo? Let Winston Justice relive his glory years at Figueroa Tech by shooting at Sosh and Dipoto as they run across the campus war zone. The possibilities of going out USC style are endless.

Not good news for Scioscia. Pat Haden is at John Wayne Airport waiting for him to arrive.

Union umps....protecting incompetent performers is their priority over improving the quality of the game.

My group got our 2014 season seat renewal last week. Comparing this season's to next season's overall price, it's about a 10% reduction.

Where's GA's sliding catch down the LF line in Game 3 of the 2002 ALDS. First, anyone who closely followed GA knew the dude never "got after" a ball in the outfield. Thus the nickname Cadillac GA. And after he made the catch my buddies and I who were watching the game knew this team was destined to beat the Yankees.

Priest Willis is scheduled to report to UCLA, and is expected to be cleared by NCAA soon thereafter. I like that UCLA has practically an entire new secondary. Hester, Price, and McDonald were constantly getting abused throughout last season. Abbott will be missed though. Looking forward to the watching the redshirt and true freshman play.

Howie = MIA at the plate after the 5th. I say trade him ASAP

In the background, a Tribe player is goofing on a cell phone. When were those allowed in the dugouts?

Fall Practice is only a few weeks away. The Junction Bruins will be returning to Cal State San Bernardino practicing in 100+ conditions.

If you know why they divorced, then please share.

Here's a trip down memory lane regarding the arrogant Barney's comments: http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/ncf/story/_/id/7380760/matt-barkley-usc-trojans-says-staying-school "This 2012 team has some serious unfinished business to attend to and I plan to play a part in it," Barkley said. "I have firmly decided to forgo the 2012 NFL draft and finish that." "I am not postponing my dream of playing in the NFL just so that I can have one more year of college life," he said. "I am staying because I want to finish what I started."

Keep on recruiting skill positions and LBs. That's one less scholie going towards much needed O-line depth. I can't believe there's one month til Fall Camp.

Congratulations to Barney getting married today. For the future Mrs. Barkey's sake, he better finish his business tonight better than his senior season.

The epitome of a fat and lazy union steward.

Does he still have frosty tips? I miss Juan(ita) Rivera

All I keeping thinking is trading Trumbo could be the equivalent of the Dodgers trading Paul Konerko to the Reds, who eventually was traded to the White Sox and became a solid middle of the order bat for a decade.

Trout has never been taken to task like Barney was last season.
