Let this be the last Dodger Spring Training in which I find myself almost completely distracted from the games by off-field issues.

What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

How hot is Andre! He is absolutely hitting a power peak and is looking healthy. I know this is ST and the nature of these misleading streaks, but I think my spring wish is that an extravagant 3 year contract would lock Andre now!!!

I sat down to watch the game on my iPad in my Antofagasta hotel, but lost the picture a couple innings ago – meaning there’s no alternative but listening to Lyons and Monday.

Here Here Jon! If that’s not a great toast (other than wishing for a frickin’ ring) I don’t know what is. *Raises his 100th Anniversary Dodgers cup in tribute*

Informally but in the SS game vs the Cubs today, I think the Dodgers may have set a record for most guys to play in a game whose last names end in “Z”.
Nunez. Cavazos-Galvez. Cruz. Federowicz. Baez.

It sounds as if Wright and Coffey are in a competition to see who can pitch himself off the team first.

Amen, Jon. Other than noticing headlines about Lilly’s neck and Sands’s demotion, I have no idea what is going on with the team on the field. In a sense, this is good, since Spring Training performance is essentially meaningless, but opening day is going to be a surprise. When IS it, anyway?

Ethier is a notoriously hot starter….321 BA and .924 OPS and has more RBI’s in April than any other month, in fewer PA’s as well.

Not only is Opening Day in less than a week, but you can see Dem Bums at Dodger Stadium on Monday.
