We have the Dodger / DBack game out here, in an empty Dodger Stadium *Yawn*

Guess Posada threw a hissy fit when he found out he was batting ninth, was insulted -- sad when players can't see they're done. Press conference after the game should be interesting.

Bummer: No night game for the West Coast, latest game today starts at 4:30 PST. Dodgers look like they are slowly moving closer to the top, they're only 2.5 out. Since McCourt was kicked out, I'm actually enjoying Dodger baseball again; the Giants return to Dodger Stadium this week for a quick two-game series, should be interesting.

Even if the OKC Thunder win game seven Sunday, I think this whole Westbrook / Durant , whose-the-top-dog thing, is going to be their undoing, and I would not be surprised to see the Thunder implode Sunday either. Unfortunately, it looks like OKC will have to choose between Westbrook or Durant at some point.

I'd say Da Bulls are taking this in six. They have the better defense, bench, and home court. Don't see the Heat winning it this year.

There's one comment there that I want to set straight: Joe West, has been, is now, and always will be, the worst umpire in baseball!

Vin Scully is great, but the announcers the Dodgers have on tv when he's not there are terrible --

What's the BFD anyway here? If you like the cd, post a good review, if not, pan it. People are losing the forest from the trees here -- among other things.

:g:g:g:g (it's a running joke in some circles....) Oops! I did it again...

My two cents after reading this the first time: 1. There are only ten reviews of the cd up -- that's hardly overwhelming the cd with positive reviews. 2. Darn, Chuck is putting his hard earned money into this, and other reissues, we should support him. I mean, if jazz lovers can't get behind him and Wayne Marsh, what are we supposed to get behind? Another Kind Of Blue reissue? Flame away...

The fourth clip has the Playboy Club. Here's how it looks today. PS: A lot of the buildings are still there also, I recognized a lot of them, most of them are about a mile or so west of Amoeba Records.

But will he need them in prison? Okay, that was a little extreme on my part. So where is Matthew? Still celebrating the news and too drunk to post? I've been in meetings for the past week, but I was very happy to hear the news, though Bradley should never have been traded for in the first place, however, the long national nightmare is over. It is a sad journey for Bradley, and he will probably have regrets in his later years, the bottom line though is that he has no one but himself to blame.

I'm obsessed with Roman Holiday's Cookin' On The Roof album. Speaking of Roman Holiday, I always think of this band too, part of that whole Sailor/Dockside band thing England had going on at the time.

Leaving for a trip tomorrow, so I am thinking how much I hate to travel.

What is okra anyway? I've never seen it

Andre Ethier is out of the starting line up for this afternoon's game. I know "officially" that doesn't break the streak, but still, play the game guy! Jonathan Broxton supposedly has a bad elbow, he looked terrible last night against the Cubs, and Frank McCourt is shooting his mouth off all over L.A. sports radio -- The Blue is in bad shape right now.

It's great that the reissues keep coming, I'll preorder all four, as I said before, I think Turrentine did his best work for CTI, and the rest look very good also.

Watching the Giants vs. Mets game, and I suddenly realized: CTI Field! Yea, Creed Taylor! (I know, I can dream though, can't I?).

I'm telling you guys: This Oakland A's team is very good... do I ever steer y'all wrong?

The Dodgers are looking pretty scruffy right now, outside of Matt Kemp & Andre Ethier, no one can do anything with the bat. Ethier got his hit to continue his streak to 27 games, four off the Dodgers record held by Willie Davis. (Side note alert! The first big league game I ever went to was a 1969 Dodgers vs. Padres game in San Diego -- my father finally got tired of my whining and took me, we even had good seats behind the home dugout. That was the game that ended Davis' streak, he almost beat out a ground ball for a hit, but he was just out on the play. Al "The Bull" Ferrara hit a home run to win the game for the Padres, and I remember that Wes Parker was the most graceful thing I ever saw). The Dodgers really need to get Casey Blake back for his offense, but their pitching is okay, and if the Rockies ever slow down, the Dodgers might have a shot at the division. Now that McCourt is out of the picture, I can actually watch the Dodgers again without the need of taking a shower afterwards. I might even get to a game at Chevez Ravine this week, they're playing the Cubs, and it might be worth the long drive to see Dodger Stadium again, but $15.00!! for parking, that's more than the ticket I would get.

Been so busy with my non-organissimo life, I haven't caught one Mariner game yet. Plus, with McCourt out, I started to reconnect with my first baseball love, the Dodgers.

I would say the legal considerations are minimal, if not non-existent. Go to Amoeba Records in Los Angeles, and you will find literally hundreds of promo copies being sold of anything under the sun, and for high prices at that.

That's right, the Italian styling was the hip fashion of the day. I remember it well. Ah, yes! This was the look: Wasn't that the "Mod" style also? So it went Italy>England>America?

Hard to believe he passed away almost twenty years to this very day (April 20, 1991). I'll have to play the live Humble Pie album from the Filmore today -- very loud.
