don't worry, just a test.

First Week
This is harder then I thought.
What CAN we learn from the first week of the season?
Well, we KNOW (some always knew) that BOTH Carlos Gomez AND Lastings Milledge will be electrifying, perennial all-stars.
Having a lot of Tigers could possibly be a mistake.
Forman is allowed to look at the camera when he's being interviewed.
The chat room in live scoring is popular.
Seriously, could someone call Polanco? I think he hit the snooze button.
Over/Under on Tom Gordon add/drops this year? 18
Hampton? Garbage.
Mike and the MadDog? Mega-Ultra Garbage. Three days of "Fist-Pumping Joba"? An HOUR on a Nicklaus/Palmer book?
Battlestar Galactica is the best show on TV. All who reject it are wrong. It's just that simple.
This is live scoring from 1911.

Yesterday Ruled
Yesterday.......
Rose resigned.
Jerry had an idea who to replace him with. (My guess? Buck Showalter.)
Willie answered the Heilman-Starter question. "Not with us... He's going to be a free agent some day."
J.J. Putz looked good.
Robert Andino looked better.
Pedro is fine.....just fine. Who doesn't hear a pop from time to time?
The angels pounded the Twins.
The Yankees won their Final Opening Game in Yankee Stadium. A nation wept as one.
"Suspension-Dodger" Melky Cabrera flashed leather, and grace.
There were three stolen bases in Sunny Day.
Rose was joking. Who would have thought it?

The Pause that Refreshes
Well.... That was interesting.
The tenth season of Sunny Day Baseball commenced on Saturday, with decidedly mixed results.
A quick thanks to Mr. Forman for opening with apartment for the semi-annual pre-draft festivities. Nice place. A lot of stairs. Brooklyn.
Jim Brady's? Well, it was nice enough, we were treated all right. Our waitress smiled alot, which was part of her trickiness, because the food was atrocious. Really bad. No biggie, we aren't there for the food, but a strike against, nonetheless. Plus, NO WINGS?
On to it then. After "Where's Digi" was asked for the fifteenth time, the owner of the Parrotheads showed up and we were ready to begin.
But something was wrong. And, to be honest, it was obvious.
Remember, This was our Tenth Anniversary.
Now I want to choose my words carefully, as to not offend, but there was an apathetic, negative vibe coming from Commissioner Rose. And, again, no big deal, we all have bad days, maybe something at home, or some other thing on Rose's mind, or even maybe I'm imagining it, (I doubt it). But it seemed to me that Rose did not want to be there, let alone celebrate anything. That's all I'm saying.
So, no any formalities, with the exception of Forman, literally standing on the edge of sobriety giving Rose his well-earned credit, or reminiscing, at all. And no rule changes. (That means we have a soft-cap, no tiered trading, no trade committee, etc..).
Then we auctioned. Shame on me, I did not keep a list of the players in the order thaey were auctioned off, just by team. So I do not remember who went first, but If you'll indulge me, a little later I'll post highlights, team, by team, and a recap of day one.

Christmas in March♦
Maybe you've heard me say it, maybe you haven't.
Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year. By a lot.
I'm so excited I can't sleep. That's really it.
See you tomorrow.

I, In turn, pledge my support for Dr. Pepper
Dr Pepper officially declares support for Chinese Democracy
DR PEPPER WILL GIVE EVERYONE* IN AMERICA A FREE SODA IF AXL ROSE RELEASES NEW GUNS N’ ROSES ALBUM, CHINESE DEMOCRACY, IN 2008
*Guitarists Slash and Buckethead Will Not Be Eligible For Free Soda
PLANO, Texas (March 26, 2008) – Tired of a world in which Americans idolize wannabe singers and musicals about high schoolers pass as rock ‘n roll music, Dr Pepper is encouraging (ok, begging) Axl Rose to finally release his 17-year-in-the-making belabored masterpiece, Chinese Democracy, in 2008.
In an unprecedented show of solidarity with Axl, everyone in America, except estranged GNR guitarists Slash and Buckethead, will receive a free can of Dr Pepper if the album ships some time -- anytime! -- in 2008. Dr Pepper supports Axl, and fully understands that sometimes you have to make it through the jungle before you get it right.
"It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper’s special mix of 23 ingredients, which our fans have come to know and love,” said Jaxie Alt, director of marketing for Dr Pepper. “So we completely understand and empathize with Axl's quest for perfection – for something more than the average album. We know once it's released, people will refer to it as "Dr Pepper for the ears" because it will be such a refreshing blend of rich, bold sounds - an instant classic.”
Show your support for Axl and get on the nightrain of encouragement at http://www.chinesedemocracywhen.blogspot.com/
