I Have Nothing to Add

Until MLB and the MLBPA start talking, there is nothing to say. Both sides are selfish, greedy, pampered buffoons. I am not going to embarrass myself like some blogs who just try and invent stuff to talk about. There’s nothing to say that hasn’t been said… ad nauseam. I’m out…

Until MLB and the MLBPA start talking, there is nothing to say. Both sides are selfish, greedy, pampered buffoons.

I am not going to embarrass myself like some blogs who just try and invent stuff to talk about. There’s nothing to say that hasn’t been said… ad nauseam.

I’m out. Feel free…

    It’s a slow day. OK, Everyone needs to have a lab in their house.

    I know a guy who can provide you with laboratory-grade water:

    Mark – you mention potatoes, I am all in. Our family grow potatoes in Alberta for Frito and McCains. But, I have a recipe for you all that you will enjoy forever. Gerhard’s “Roesti” . Everybody likes crispy fried potatoes for breakfast, so let’s fry both sides. In the microwave, hot raw, onions, red peppers, carrots and Rosemary ham, all cut to 1/2″ square for five minutes. In a bowl shred some cheese, I use Costco Gouda dried in the fridge to dry it and age it, cut up a bundle of cilantro and mix the two. Now in the fry pan, and I use an electric one, melt lots of butter on low, season with Lowry’s Seasoning Salt to taste and to hold the butter in place. Now shred raw, unpeeled potatoes 1 1/2′ thick. Turn the heat up high, and place some small cubes of butter around the top. When the butter is melted, time to flip the potatoes and fry the other side. Now place the veggie mix all over the top, next spread the cheese/cilantro mix. When the cheese melts – Bingo, ready to enjoy. When I have been in the states, I have trouble finding Red skinned potatoes with Yellow flesh. The variety I use is Mozart, a patented Dutch variety, the best flavour we have ever tasted in a potato. My wife is from Denmark, 54 years now, and always asked why can’t we grow good tasting potatoes here, she loves the Mozart’s. Thanks again for all the great reading and A Safe, Healthy and Happy 2022 to you all.

    On A Dodger note – I would welcome Grienke back in heartbeat – love his fiery attitude.

    Happy Birthday to Sandy Koufax. He is 88 years old today.

    That works!

    I agree that there’s not much to talk about, but it makes it worse when every time I post it says “Your comment is awaiting moderation.”…

    Any fix for this?

    My son and wife are involved in inventory today and tomorrow.

    My daughter-in-law is managing http://www.UpDoDown.com (my wife’s other business).

    Daycare is closed.

    So here is my office today. Notice the TV.

    I heard he (Kyle Seager) was trying to go to Texas and I guess Texas wasn’t interested.

    Ben Zauzmer was promoted to assistant GM of NY Mets. He was once highly regarded in the Dodgers front office.

    Interesting post in MLB Trade Rumors on the net worth of MLB owners (or primary owners). Steve Cohen of the Mets is #1 at $15.9 BB! Reds, Brewers, Rays and DBacks owned by non-billionaires. (only 4 franchises)

    Kyle Seager announced his retirement. Surprising.

    Nothing much to talk about BUT today is my 79th Birthday AND my 58th Anniversary. I was in the Army at the time and came home from France to get married. To this day I tease my wife saying I got married so I could live off post in a trailer camp.

    Not sure how much I was making at the time but when I signed up and went to Fort Dix my monthly pay was $78 per MONTH.

    Bobby, we need to have a few more beers at Dodger Stadium next year!

    I wanted to rent a Suite, but the cheapest I could get was $12,000 and it only allowed 15 people!

    I will be home soon and have a couple of stories in mind….

  13. sbuffaloDecember 29, 2021

    Okay, we should just say it.

    Uh, well, there is nothing to say or talk about, is there? Time to move on.

  14. BobbyDecember 29, 2021

    Likewise. There isn’t any baseball to talk about.

    The Lakers suck. The Kings are eh. Football will get more fun in Jan when the playoffs start.

    I have zero interest in reading about Covid or politics on this board.

    Some dude cussing at Mark yesterday was uncalled for; I’ve met Mark and we had a great time over a few drinks.

    I guess we can discuss food? Tonight I’ll go get some tandoori platter with various chicken, lamb, and shrimp in it. Veggies you say? I’ll have onions and some chutney for that!

Nothing Wrong With Back of the Rotation SP for LAD

Who Bats Where?

A good percentage of comments on this blog relate to “who bats where” in the batting order. “Shohei should bat cleanup.” “ Freddie should be the number three hitter.” “No, Freddie should hit second.” “Max Muncy should hit cleanup.” “Mookie should hit 9th.” … and on and on… Where…

Happy, Hopeful, Blessed, and Thankful

I grew up in Ohio and lived there until 1976, when I was 23 years old. I have been in Indiana for 50 years, so I consider myself a Hoosier. Now, I actually live 45 minutes from Bloomington, where the IU Hoosiers play. However, since I was nine years old, I have been a Dodger…

Are You True Blue?

What do I mean by true blue? Well, over the years I have seen my share of bandwagon and fair-weather fans. True blue fans stick with the team no matter what. Their allegiance to the team never waivers. Not when a favorite is traded or lost to free agency, not when the team…
