We have created a log jam at second base and third base. You have to wonder why Casey Blake was paid 16 million for 3 years when he’s about to turn 87 years old and has diminishing skills up the wazoo.

Always liked that word. “Wazoo.”

Now we’ll have a young student 3rd baseman coming into his own who will have to platoon with Blake. This has Andruw Jones written all over it. Don’t expect DeWitt to play second. He was tried there and by his own admission, the experiment “didn’t go very well.”

It’s funny, I always thought second base was probably the easiest infield position to play except maybe 1st base.

Glad to see yer alive and well. Gettin’ hit with a virtual nuclear weapon, or any virtual WMD fer that matter can be painful.

It’s going to be hard to self-censor when we both have autographed Duke Snider baseball cards he also sent me an 8″ by 10″ glossy which he autographed as well.

Only problm is, the autograph on the card an d the autograph on the glossy don’t match the autograph which was printed by topps on the card itself..

Did you know Duke had bad knees which shortened his career?

He also went to federal Prison for a brief period of time for failing to report income from selling his autograph? His wife is named Beverly and he owned a rather large avocado ranch in Fallbrook which is where he planned to spend his retirement years.

It’s amazing how I can just rattle that all off, eh?

Okay Spokane, old boy. You made an allegation without any supporting documentation that Duke Snider had an ego problem as a mere lad. In fact, you inferred that because of this elevated self confidence, Duke would have been way too arrogant to go to O’Malley and ask for a trade because he wasn’t good enough to help our Dogs back in 51. Such an allegation would seem to harm the Duke’s reputation as a humble lad so I hope you can establish the truth in what you say. Otherwise it would appear to be libelous and as such, actionable.

Can you site verification for this alleged fact? Or have you been involved in some of that re-writing baseball history you were so quick to accuse me of doing the other day?

And Badger, SpookyBarb is a Dog fan. His problem with me is strictly political. And therefore personal.

Manny my man…..where are you? We are all waiting on you….come out and play!
