  1. For the dozen or so of you wondering what it would take to drag JC off the IR and post something new, here is the answer:

  4. Greetings friends -

    A "best of the rest" slide show picking through the photos that didn't make the final cut on my previous efforts. Hope you get a chance to stop by.

  5. Greetings baseball fans -

    Having finally overcome the gremlins that delayed this slideshow, I am happy to present at last the photographic companion to my article about covering the Dodgers as a member of the working media.

  6. First, welcome to B/R - I'm glad you decided to pull up a chair in this particular corner of the web.

    I am also honored to have been sitting next to you during your Most Memorial Game Attended. Remember those two loud-mouth Mets fans we send packing by the 5th inning? Great times indeed.

    Staying true to your bruin roots though, when you tried to talk crap about one of my Memorial Attended games, you SCREWED UP!!! The phantom TD was against Michigan and at the other end of the field. In the Ohio St. game, White dove though the line into the end zone and NEVER lost the ball. Even noted bruin, domer and Wolverine fan Jim Bond, who was sitting next to me for that one, can testify to the purity of that play.

    Sorry to see you've dropped hockey from the sports you follow. Though the way the Kings have been the last few years it's hard not to get discouraged. Check out the Canadians group - lots of great folks there.

    Have to say I'm surprised Riley didn't make your list of coaches.

    Now, keep your place and remember who your community leader is - same as your president of the half-yard society 8^D
