This is a busy week as I am going into the office everyday. My son is on vacation and I have to try and take his place. So this will be short and sweet.
I have tickets to Spring Training on February 20, 22 and 23, 2025. JayB sent me some gift cards for his Pizza Restaurants (the Mellow Mushroom) and so I will have to use those too. Thank you Jay! We have been to one in Florida and it was very good. My wife, nephew and son will also be there. I may have an extra ticket or two. This is a business trip. 😉
I will also be at the Dodgers game On April 1st and this is no joke. We are taking a cruise to Mexico on April 3rd, so my son, son-in-law, and my son’s father-in-law are going to be at the game too.
I’ll see you there!

Bellinger is a Yankee.
Please forgive my ignorance on this. Someone please educate me. Andre Lipius had great numbers. I know he was older, but don’t understand how someone with those stats does not have trade value. And if he did not have trade value, why would we believe he will get a chance somewhere else? What am I missing here?
Love the Mellow Mushroom- seeing as we lived in North Phoenix, Ive hit the Happy Valley location a number of times. We will be preseason March 1-2. Still planning on the home games for 25….
Trying to plan a few weekend trips to hit away games and continue the quest to hit all stadiums.
Andre Lipius released. He might get an opportunity now. I hope so.
Sounds like a great spring for you and yours. Good for you. Have fun!

I fear I have a post that is appearing and disappearing, it’s exciting. Like Schrödinger’s Cat.
MLB’s Pipeline podcast makes some 2005 projections:
Of relevance to the Dodgers:
First they say the Dodgers and Padres are the front-runners for Sasaki.
Second, they say by year’s end the Dodgers, again, could have THE BEST FARM SYSTEM in MLB. The Dodgers’ system’s youth gives pause (7 of the top 11, and 10 of the top 17 are 20 years of age or younger), and Seattle and Detroit are pretty good. But the Dodgers are at or VERY close to the top.
Not too shabby.
Finally, Kellen Lindsay predicted to be an ascendant player ascending from outside the top 100 to into.

Mellow Mushroom is excellent Mark! May I suggest the pretzel bites with beer cheese as an appetizer . On another note, I hope you are wrong about AF interest in Luis Robert Jr. as his OBP is consistently below Dodger standards (not just last year) , he is injury prone, and a marginal defender. I’d rather give Rushing a chance and also thus have him available to spell Smith a bit as he does wear down toward the end of each season. But AF has proven he sees things others don’t so if he goes for Robert Jr., I’ll bet he has a career year!
Ill be at the opening series vs the Tigers…..
We got Mellow Mushrooms here in NC. Haven’t been in a while though, need to hit that place up again.
We have teenage grands, so lots of Mellow Mushroom family gatherings here in Franklin TN. Fun place, good food.
