Blue Haze,

Rory Markus was the radio voice of the Angels & a local television reporter. He was only 54 yrs old and died of an apparent heart attack. I honestly could not stand him on the radio or hearing him do baseball but it is sad to see someone pass away so young.

If that does happen Ken, it is a temporary money hunt. 60 Minutes had a piece about a whistle blower (Bradley Birkenfeld) who exposed the UBS illegal tax shelter accounts in Switzerland and HE is going to prison. His action is said to have uncovered a billion in revenue for the IRS as several people were rounded up (and just paid the fines) while the guy who exposed them gets locked up. Rich folks don’t like it when they have to pay for government’s spendings. This IRS thing won’t last long. It is the middle class who will always pay and that won’t change any time soon. All that you mention Ken will probably blow over before the Chavez Ravine development plans get implemented.

I might feel differently about all of that if I were one who had illegal millions in Swiss banks, but, alas, it ain’t me they’re lookin’ for.

I too would take Garland. Heck we had him, he did the job, and then we benched him just like we did Hudson. Those two, along with Randy Wolf on this team and we aren’t having these McBroke discussions. Of course, payroll would be up there with the Houston Astros – or maybe even as high as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. And we can’t have that now can we.

So Randy Johnson is to announce his retirement. What a shame. I was counting on Ned signing him to a 1 year contract. He could pitch, what, 12 to 18 innings easily.

Big brother is alive, well and very hungry, I see. You are sending shivers up my spine Ken with that info, thanks for the warning.

Who is Rory Markus, never heard of him, DRomo.

Based on what has been happening here, in Giants Southland, I would take Garland in a second. He pitched well for us in his limited time and he definitely knows how to eat some innings. He is the type of pitcher can survive on nights he doesn’t have his best stuff, a rare skill in this day and age in the MLB.
