Hungover
Friday night I was in shadows at Yankee Stadium, despite the complete lack of sunshine upon me, as the $50 face value seats were surrounded on nearly all sides by concrete. Including the giant overhang about 3 feet above my head.
That’s not even me pointing in that silhouette; it’s the guy in front of me, arm forged to my torso by darkness, positioned as if to say, “Look! That’s where the outside is. Where baseball is played. Someday I hope to be there.”
I hope they take these things into account as they build the new Yankee Stadium across the street.
It’s amazing how seldom baseball owners seem to realize that people who go to their teams’ games would actually like to enjoy the experience.
Check Me Out
I’m no Arte Moreno, but when my new checks arrive, I will pretend I’m paying Chone Figgins every time I’m really paying the rent or the rolfer.
I hope Chone doesn’t mind working for a zillion percent pay cut.
Fire Score
This is how the LA Times is keeping track on their website…
420,424 acres burned
1,155 homes destroyed
881,500 people evacuated
Seems a little insensitive, especially when considering that this is how they’re keeping track of Kobe Bryant…
AL West Champs!
Yeah!!!
$25 for a t-shirt?
Boo!!!
Why Are These Men Smiling?
I just love this team.
Down 5-0 in the FIRST inning, their starting pitcher is pulled after being able to retire only one opposing batter. The guys who allegedly can’t score runs roar back with 10.
The second-place team they couldn’t shake all year, the ones littered with former teammates looking to settle scores and overtake the division lead –even if all goes to crap tonight– will be in worse shape than when the series started.
And not just by the numbers.
I Think I’ll Bring My Own Food Tonight
Going down to the Angels game tonight.
Just in time to learn that those six hot dogs I ate that time may have contained even more than I’d bargained for.
Then again, the Halo Chip Sandwiches are sealed in that protective silver foil –that’s rat-proof, right?
5-4 in the 4th

| From Angels 7/14 |
I’m at one of my favorite places, Angel Stadium. The Angels have regained the lead after a very shaky opening to the game. My belly is full of hot dog, peanuts, beer, halo chip sandwich, and, curiously, peas.
Tomorrow’s What’s My Line show is booked and is a killer.
all in all, things are good.
Just wanted to let you know.
