This Post Brought to you by THINK CURE!

Ok, props to McCourt for coming up with the idea of copying the Jimmy Fund, calling it Think Cure and holding a 50th reunion at the Coliseum on Saturday night. It was a good time and a good cause.

I could go on and on and rip McCourt and the Dodgers for the parking/tram issues but who needs it, really? I blame the caltrans idiot for posting on the electronic signs that the Coliseum was full and to park at Dodger Stadium. That was a lie. We got to Dodger Stadium at 5pm, saw the 3 hour line for a bus, got back in our cars, drove the 10 minutes to the Coliseum, found FREE street parking and walked to the game by the first pitch. Plenty of other people did the same thing.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Had everyone that wanted to park at Dodger Stadium called, made a reservation and stuck to it, it probably would have better organized but I bet most of you did not!

Now to the game. It was rough. Our tickets were basically on top of the torch. If you did not have binoculars, you were not seeing anything. It was far too great of a distance to enjoy the game. That and giving up 5 runs early. Anyway, it was cool to see the place and be part of the largest crowd to ever see a baseball game. My stub will be on Ebay shortly....ha ha

One complaint, the only thing missing was Jerry and Kids. Having a sponsor for a first pitch EVERY inning slowed the game down a TON. Outside of Kareem two-hopping his pitch and then firing a hook shot instead, it was lame. Glad it raised it a lot of money and hopefully it helps cancer research!

Try the Dim Sum

The Dodgers head to China for two games vs. San Diego. Does MLB really need to screw with the spring routine by scheduling this crap in March? Teams are trying to get ready for the games that count but instead they have to travel the globe, with a bunch of AAA players, to play in China? Why not do this in Oct. (with two teams far out of playoffs) or right after the World Series? I'm just glad most of the starters aren't going. If Torre is jet-lagged, Bowa can call the shots. If Penny is jet-lagged, we're screwed.

On the plus side, this does allow Tommy Lasorda to manage a few games for the team. Much like Scully, Tommy is a cornerstone of the franchise and should be respected and cherished by all. Here's hoping Andruw Jones stays away from the Beijing Hooters and focuses on baseball.

Public Enemy No. 1

The great Vin Scully labeled 19 year old wunderkid, Clayton Kershaw's curveball as "Public Enemy No. 1." Dodger fans everywhere are jumping on this and I'm sure shirts will be made soon. These same people are the ones proclaiming Kershaw as the next Gooden or Fernando. A teen sensation that will take the NL by storm.

Easy there people. It was one inning and one of the batters was gutless loser, JD Drew. It was not a September start vs the Mets, putting down Reyes, Wright and Delgado. Does his future look bright, hell yeah! But didn't we get the same hype for Billingsly and Greg Miller? Chad is looking good but Miller got hurt and hasn't rebounded yet. Scott Elbert anyone?

Trust me, I HATE ESTEBAN LOAIZA. I'd take Chan Ho Park over Loaiza but I'm not ready to rush Clayton to the Big Show. Get him a taste this month then send him to AA or AAA and make him earn it. Show us some dominating starts there and then be ready for the next injury and come on up for good. We don't want to ruin him by shuttling him back and forth.

Oh, and is there anything better than hearing Vin's voice on TV again? Ah baseball.
