There is good size at the End of the Santa Fe Trail
T-Minus-69 Days until “The Mid Valley Classic”
Good Morning!
The name of Workman’s Justin Sneddon was recently floated to me. Now my contacts with the Lobos program are close to non-existent… a cousin of a friend, of a girl, who used to know my neighbor, when I was living in Hacienda Heights… but I’m supposed to keep an eye on this guy.
Somebody want to help me out? I know Sneddon, according to MaxPreps, had a cup of coffee as a freshman last season at running back but that’s all I know.
Mid Valley Intern Research Assistant Aaron Castro is reporting that the Bonita offensive line is possibly the biggest it has been in a number of years.
Usually this comes across as petty, but I sincerely mean it this time.
“Oh, I have always been a Vladimir Guerrero fan!”
Anybody who sticks a knife the Angels the way Guerrero has the last couple of nights earns a place in my proverbial ‘Cool Book’.
(Back in the day, did you ever have a ‘Cool Book’?)

Brandon Cox: Is ready for PADS!!!!
La Canada HC Dan Yoder hasn’t asked for help, but other than senior offensive lineman Chris Yoo (6’0” 260) the Spartans could use a ‘bubba’ or two along the front line.
After getting the logistics and details hammered out, former Temple City assistant (Eagle Rock HC) Jerry Chou is now the DC at Montebello. He joins the another former TC assistant, Michael McKay.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that Derrick Johnson and Christian Blanco are going to get a lot of touches come September for M-Town.
To my new friend Landestoy Luke: Oakland, 10 games out in the A.L. West, is playing Baltimore, 23 games out in the A.L. East, why should I care? Why should anyone care about 65 to 75 percent of the MLB schedule?
Don’t get me wrong I would still suffer any A’s, Orioles, 51’s, Dukes, Quakes, nine-inning affair before watching a World Cup match…but I’m worried about the future of baseball. Tell me why I shouldn’t be worried.
Tell me why baseball needs to be back in my ‘Cool Book’…
I like El Monte’s size along its front line. They should be a lock for third in the Mission Valley League, but if Arroyo keeps screwing around and Rosemead under performs a Lions rebound all the way to the playoffs shouldn’t be a surprise.
Haven’t seen San Gabriel up close lately but Andy Guerrero must be having a heck of a summer, because up to now I’ve been buying stock in sophomore Eric Alvarez after seeing him this spring.
I wonder how “The Suave One” is doing in Cabo San Lucas?
Shouldn’t the Lakers have found a way to hold on to Jordan Farmar? Especially since they are low balling Derek Fisher. Could they be looking at point guard trouble next
season?
You know me, I’m Mr. Die Hard NBA.
On this date in 1863 the battle of Gettysburg began. I won’t get too heavy, but this is one subject I find far more interesting than sports. Pickett’s Charge and the defense of Little Round Top are now the focus when people study the history of this day, but if you read the accounts, or better actually been to Gettysburg, you know this first day of the battle saved our country.
You should know the name of John Buford, you should know the history of the Union’s Iron Brigade, and Winfield Scott Hancock’s selection of Cemetary Ridge for for defense at the end of only the first day.
If you get a chance to go to Gettysburg this summer, go…Give me a call and I’ll give up football to go with you. Very few places historically in this country like Gettysburg.
Stay thirsty my friends…

Thanks for the update on LC! Go Spartans!
my status was better..
Joe please stop dissin the Angels, everybody knows that they pimp your Dodgers. I do not know who is more overated the Dodgers or San Gabriel.
Monrovia posse’s several threats at the RB position, Marquise Bias is a Sophomore with the ability to get to the end zone the other X factor is Jr. RB Michael Harris who sat out last year due to injuries. These two guys will be a force worth reconing with. Bubba Johnson and Christian Blanco are the Big Boys that can take the rock to the house in the Red Zone. Nick Bueno has several more weapons at the reciever spots with Two great up and coming sophomores Anthony Kraft and Mason Bryant. De’Shawn may make his debut back into the line-up as early as Oct. but for sure by Nov. come playoff time. This years Cat team is fully loaded and ready to make a stance in the pre season to show you what they are made of even without the presence of Ramirez.
An m-town dad said that they will be fine without Ramirez. After seeing the cats at bonita last weekend, they look like they have alot of talent. Their back-up qb seems to be pretty decent and if he can manage not to f-up the snap, I can see them moving Bueno over to tailback. They also have Bubba (don’t know his real name) and Blanco who are both big, beefy guys, but are pretty fast.
Interesting reference to the M-town RB situation. Anyone know more on that besides what we have heard from MM?
Took a tour of Gettysburg when there was snow on the Ground some eight years ago. Little Round Top is a lot more condensed than the movie shows. Fighting in there would have been ridiculous.
The question needs to be asked Phil Hughes or Cliff Lee, Vladimir or Hideki?
Phil Hughes has finally made it, I remember when he was pulled up from AAA to pitch as the Number one prospect…then he got injured. And then we had Joba…I’ll take Hughes any day, What has Joba done since that season?
