“I don’t like to be alone, but I do cherish the moments that I am alone with a good book.”

Vin Scully

Dodger Broadcaster

When life gives you lemons make lemonade.   The announcement that Frank and Jamie McCourt are separated is lemons for a Dodger team that is struggling to beat the Phillies for the National League Pennant.  But other teams have used adversity to build their resolve.  The Phillies are wearing the initials HK on there uniforms in memory of Hank Kalas and the Angels wear the initials of Nick Adenhart.  So I’m proposing that the Dodgers wear this patch to turn their misfortune into lemonade and help them win the World Series:

Frank and Jamie Separated

What do you think?

We went to our third baseball game of the year on Saturday night and the Dodgers lost again. So far we are 0 – 3. Other than that it was a perfect evening it didn’t rain and the company, Lillian and Barbara, was very simpatico. Baseball is an anachronism. It moves slowly in a fast paced world and the players spit. I think it can survive the slow but I don’t know if it can survive the HD spitting.

Nurit and I are planning a road trip to Arizona and Colorado in August to finish visiting all of the National League West ballparks. Maybe I’ll make a sign that says “Stop HD Spitting” or “Kobe Doesn’t Spit.” and try to get on TV.
Life is Good!

Nurit and I went to a spring training game and saw the Royals beat the Diamondbacks at Tucson Electric Park.

We had excellent seats in the shade

It was our first spring training game ever and will definitely improve our performance as fans during the 2008 season.

It is an intimate park with excellent food vendors

The only discordant thing was a recruiting race car for the border patrol as we walked in. I wrote about the implications of this type of recruiting on my immigration blog.

Why is the Boston baseball team called the Red Sox?

Based on their uniforms in the World Series they seem to be the Red Sleeves.

From what I can see none of them are wearing red socks but they are wearing red sleeves.
