Home Run Derby

Back from San Antonio … big props to Devine and Nick for keeping the site alive while I was gone. I couldn’t check the site at all - the Drury Plaza Hotel filtered the site as “drug/alcohol related content.” Stupid steroids posts.

Someone has started a site called the A-13 Project. It’s dedicated to “stopping the boos” directed at the main target of Yankee fans’ grumpiness that the Bronx Bombers haven’t hoisted the World Series trophy since they beat the Mets many a year ago … Alex Rodriguez. And this will do more damage to A-Rod’s Yankee image than it will help him. This is just another sign of the pending Baseball Apocalypse.

There’s a statue of Mark McGwire waiting to be unveiled - but it won’t see the light of day until public opinion about the slugger turns favorable and he makes the Hall of Fame. It’s pretty cool, however, and would look great next to the other Cardinals busts this guy has made. I think it’s being kept in the same warehouse that holds the Ark of the Covenant.

Nomar Garciaparra and Mia Hamm are the new parents of twin girls. Garciaparra tried to get to Los Angeles (from the Dodgers’ camp in Florida) in time for the births, but was in the air (and on a speaker phone to the delivery room) during the deliveries. He’s expected to be back in the lineup when the Dodgers open the season Monday in Milwaukee. Scott Boras called to congratulate the couple and ask if their future soccer and/or softball and/or basketball phenoms had representation yet.
There’s less than four days left to enter the Home Run Derby contest. Don’t forget. And tell your friends.
