DATELINE - Vero, Beach, FL - MARCH 21 & 22
Well, the first two games I saw resulted in the Dodgers getting beat like rented mules. A few observations:
1. I shook hands with Frank McCourt and had a brief chat with him. The Vero Beach locals hate him with a passion for obvious reasons. He doesn’t care…
2. Roger (Anew Blue day) and I chatted with Fay Vincent for about 15 minutes, mostly about Pete Rose. I can sum it all up in one simple sentence - Fay thinks Rose is a liar and stupid and not necessarily in that order. No, let me change that to “real stupid!”
3. Tony Abreu looks 100% healthy, he was throwing, fielding, running and hitting at what looked to be full speed. I also saw him crush 2 back-to-back HR in BP.
4. Jeff Kent took BP by himself after everyone else had stopped and mush have hit 125-150 balls. At the end of the session, he was depositing them over the fence with regularity!
5. I can out run Saenz! Man, is he slow!
6. C-Bill looked good in relief.
7. La Roche his the ball hard every time and looked OK in LF.
8. Kuo looked well, BAD!
9. Repko was back and running well.
10.More tomorrow…
