Cactus League Wrap Up
Sorry friends, due to a battery failure/laziness/four-days-and-running-fantasy baseball draft I am just now getting around to this recap now, since I’m sure you’re all dying to know about the rest of Spring Training with your four favorite roving correspondents. Here’s the short version: Friday- wake up, waffle bar, drink beer, get JC out of bed, [...]
Day One
Hello friends, I’m lounging around in a post waffle bar haze with the boys while we figure out where we’re going today…pretty sure it’s Scottsdale in the morning for the Giants vs. Reds and then maybe Seattle vs. Milwaukee for the nightcap. Yesterday was good times, perfect weather, lots of scoring including a bomb by [...]
And So it Begins
You see that clock here? That is when we got into Phoenix last night/this morning. That is not a happy time to be alive, I don’t care how much fun you are having, when it’s 4:30 in the morning really you just want to go to bed. Of course, when dealing with JC you tend [...]
Away We Go
All my bags are packed I’m ready to go. It’s that time of the year again, friends—Spring Training with the boys, 3 days in Phoenix, 4 friends, 6 games, boom. Sadly the Mexicutioner can’t make it this year but he’s being replaced by G Snide and Doctor J:a fair trade, I suppose. Even though I [...]
Road Trip: Phoenix
Big boys weekend and with our google-doc based fantasy basketball draft taking up almost all of my free time I haven’t been able to blog it. Until now. That’s right, folks-it’s update time. And sorry, I’m too much of an emotional wreck to write anything about the Dodgers…I just can’t do it. I have opinions [...]
The One Where We Go To a Dodger Game and Manny Doesn’t Play
We were about ten miles out of the Stadium, heading north on the 5 when James Loney chased Andre Ethier home with a single up on the middle, cutting the Marlins’ lead over the Dodgers to 8-6 and bringing the tying run to the plate when Rick Monday said, “This Dodger team has really changed [...]
Road Trip: BG and G Slim go to a Dodger Game
Yeah, I’m on record as saying I wasn’t going to a Dodger game this year until Manny came back but with the girlfriend out of town and G Slim and I with nothing better to do, Chavez Ravine was on the docket last night. Thankfully there was minimal traffic and we got a prime spot [...]
Ain’t No Party Like a Bloc Party Party Cos a Bloc Party Party Don’t Stop
Yeah I went to Vegas for the weekend and yeah it was fun but seriously, who really cares? We’ve all been to Vegas and we’ve done whatever there is to do there. You know where you HAVEN’T been though (Jeff Greenfield excluded) is a Bloc Party show and that is what I would way rather [...]
Adios Phoenix–Day 3 of Spring Training
The Mexicutioner, John B and myself left Phoenix yesterday and endured the 7 million mile drive back to civilization and immediately jumped into our 2009 Fantasy Baseball draft, a 5 hour affair held via the magic of the interweb. I’ll get to everything else on a later post but here’s what happened during our final [...]
Spring Training, Day Two
Dia de dos of our trip to Phoenix started very similar to day one–we again had to wait for John B to take care of his “errands” which apparently involved some sort of high finance, and by high finance I mean something that you can’t just do at an ATM. Who actually goes into banks? [...]
