Fanview Lite: May 4, 2009

By Joe Torosian

Good Morning!

Guilty. Yeah, way, way back when I bought a Jack Kemp football card thinking: “This guy could be president some day…”

Then he got teamed with Bob Dole…Not too good chief…

Is it too soon to start getting excited about the Dodgers?

Thirty-six million over three years on Mets southpaw Oliver Perez makes federal bailout money seem well spent. 

Of course after being a Carlos Perez supporter at one time, big contracts to lefties named Perez make me nervous…

Why is it when a name you haven’t heard for years pops up in baseball, its because he was playing with the Baltimore Orioles?

I don’t know why baseball experts are questioning the depth of the Dodger rotation; is there anything wrong with Eric Stults and Jeff Weaver?

The most exciting one-two punch since the Angels ran Gary Ross and Paul Hartzell out to the hill in 1977.

Think of those great expressions: “Spahn and Sain and pray for rain”, “Tanana, Ryan, then start Cryin”, “Hooton, Sutton, and Nutton”…I can see it now: “Stults & Weaver, who needs Tom Seaver?”

Well all the jokes can’t be good, you have to expect that once in a while…

Time to Get Noticed Dept: San Marino’s Andrew Sloan, 6-1, 1.88 ERA, is one of the reasons the Titans have won seven in a row and lead the Rio Hondo League this season.

While I don’t think I would ever pass him the ball, even with a gun to my head, the Bulls Joakim Noah is like Kurt Rambis on crack…

Understatement of the year, Chicago needs a caboose that can score in the paint…

Old legs and fatigue are the only things possibly preventing Boston from getting by Orlando…the Celts have too many weapons…

In a USC uniform I loved him, in a Celtic uniform Brian Scalabrine sickens me…

Scanlan question of the day: He might need to go down with an injury to prove this point, but can I make a case that Orlando Hudson is off to an MVP- like start for the Dodgers?
