Good Morning!<\/p>\n
T-Minus-44 until Manny Ramirez returns to Dodger lineup…<\/p>\n
May I say something?<\/p>\n
And know this comes with a long history of anti-bandwagonism and an ancient love of the Lakers…<\/p>\n
But I want the Denver Nuggets to win the NBA title. Any team that can dump Allen Iverson and get Chauncey Billups in the same deal deserves the title.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Iverson, in June he turns 34…can you say; Sayonara…?<\/p>\n
Freshman to keep an eye on: Jackie \u201cJax\u201d Wagner at Arroyo has thrown 81.2-innings this season, is 7-5, has 93 K\u2019s, and a 2.06 ERA…<\/p>\n
The \u201cWave\u201d was soo cool…back in 1984.<\/p>\n
Hit only took 35 games and roughly 130 at-bats but James Loney, starting first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, hit his first home run of season last night…<\/p>\n
Did you know Burroughs football coach Keith Knoop loves to read the Mid Valley News…?<\/p>\n
So the Pittsburgh-Washington series is over…so I don\u2019t have to hear about Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin being the greatest things since Bird-Magic and the invention of sliced bread.<\/p>\n
Usually I steer clear of this stuff, but did you catch \u201cLost\u201d last night and see John Locke fall out of that window? I guess TiVo can be used for something other than sports…I laughed my head off…<\/p>\n
I got emails and phone calls yesterday asking me if the Mid Valley was going to start charging for website access…because there is a potential for others to start doing so… I don\u2019t speak for Citizen Keenan or the consortium known as Mid Valley Sports…but the idea of paying for it seems crazy…I\u2019ve never had to pay for it…<\/p>\n
But we will charge you fully and completely for advertising so please contact us…have we got a deal for you…<\/p>\n
Papers are hurting, but my belief is newsprint, hard copy, isn\u2019t outdated…just the way newspapers do business is.<\/p>\n
There was a time when I was $1.25, in quarters, guy…I\u2019d go down the sidewalk and buy the Times, Examiner, USA Today, and either the Register, Daily News, or Trib\/Star… I did it because I was getting something in return…<\/p>\n
Now there is nothing in return…Even in the sports sections, sports is secondary…so why buy the paper…<\/p>\n
I\u2019m gonna get my hands on some capitol, and I\u2019m going to produce a hard copy sports section, and I\u2019m going to make it work…<\/p>\n
Content, content, content…<\/p>\n
Mmm…now if I can just get my hands on some capitol…<\/p>\n
