Good Morning!<\/p>\n
T-minus-13 until Manny Ramirez returns to Dodgers lineup<\/p>\n
My day was ruined when the first round of the 109th U.S. Open was suspended because of rain…I\u2019d sooner spend an evening with an Amway salesman…<\/p>\n
If the Olympic League is going to stay in the Mid-Valley division can we at least get Maranatha and La Salle in and boot Paraclete, along with L.A. Baptist, out? How about making room for Bosco Tech?<\/p>\n
It may be a little early for West El Monte Poly, but perhaps down the road.<\/p>\n
Call me crazy but I felt more when Mitch Jones got his first career hit last night than I did seeing the Lakers win the title…I also loved the way Jones tried to be oh so cool through it all…<\/p>\n
It reminded me of the first time I covered a game at the Coliseum. I was very professional, worked on my story, accepted my stats, casually ate the grub…and when I was done in the locker room I walked out to the 50-yard line and called Peterson on my cell phone: \u201cDude! Do you know where I am?\u201d<\/p>\n
Funny because when Peterson calls and says: \u201cDude! Do you know where I am?\u201d He usually wants to me to stop off at the bail bond office…<\/p>\n
I guess all talk about a Ryan Leaf comeback is over…<\/p>\n
Does it make me a snob to think I\u2019m smarter than all of those people who went downtown, in all that traffic, to go to the Laker celebration?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s well known I am the anti-Favre, but seeing him workout at the local high school with its players is gold…wouldn\u2019t it be cool if every NFL quarterback took some time and went to throw at a high school workout? The memories it would create would be awesome…<\/p>\n
Can somebody tell me how old John Smoltz is? Wasn\u2019t he involved in the Black Sox scandal back in 1919?<\/p>\n
A nice edition to the El Monte football schedule this season is Rowland.<\/p>\n
Note to Joel Sanchez: Raider quarterback Michael Ball is very good.<\/p>\n
Other fresh match ups to keep an eye on: San Dimas at M-Town, Temple City at Arcadia, and Blair at Brawley…<\/p>\n
My guess is after being sentenced to 45 years for molestation former slugger Mel Hall won\u2019t be attending any old timer games this summer.<\/p>\n
Stay thirsty my friends…<\/p>\n
46<\/p>\n
