Fanview Lite: June 17, 2009

By Joe Torosian

Good Morning!

T-Minus-14 until Manny Ramirez returns to Dodgers lineup

Andy Villathedevil doesn’t know baseball…

I knew once Guillermo Mota got on track the Dodgers would have a killer season…

Great thing about the Rockies 11-game winning streak is that it brought them to within 11.5 games of the lead in the N.L. West.

Sammy Sosa failed a drug test back in 2003, I hope he doesn’t fail anymore because it would mean he’s off current meds which keep him in reality about his Hall of Fame chances.

Fifteen years later I wonder how O.J. is doing in his hunt for the killers…

Mike Mooney says he is actively looking for a coaching job at the next level…in the meantime he’ll serve at D.R. Moreland’s offensive coordinator at San Marino…I’m trying to think of the last time a coach told me on the record he was actively pursuing another job.

The Temple City crowd wasn’t thrilled by our hanging the Wilson tee over their jersey last night, but all we were doing was showing Brian Zavala a TC alum some love…plus Wilson was 1-9 on the field (0-10 after CIF took the win away). They needed the encouragement.

Is it just me or is Alhambra quarterback Darrian Cazarin looking about three feet taller?…And Gil Ruedaflores is trying to tell us there’s nothing in the water over there in Moor-ville?

Wish my name was Elijah Dukes…

Some friends from Las Vegas called me and asked if I’d seen Doug.

The recently fired Kevin McHale (old “Anvil Head” to Showtime Era Laker fans) should feel good about his 15 years in Minnesota . He drafted Kevin Garnett and then secured Boston its first title since 1986 when he sent Garnett to the Celtics for a box of CrackerJacks.

Could Bill Laimbeer end up as the Timberwolves coach?

Tim Peterson confirms Ruedaflores’ assertion that Alhambra senior Brandon Wilson is looking like a beast.

So Joe Torre sends down Blake DeWitt and Jamie Hoffman to bring up Mitch Jones, 31, and the next Billy Ashley. Bad enough we have to see Mark Loretta (1 for 23 in June) come off the pine, now we have to watch a human air conditioner in Jones?

For faithful Fanview HD readers, no I don’t have a 16 year old son…but if I did he would be a lefty.

Stay thirsty my friends…
