I thought about you immediately when I saw the headline.

He was a regular at the nine hole golf course where I used to work back in the mid-90s, and he and his wife were always very pleasant customers and loose with the free tickets. I’ve always been an Angels fan who never liked the Dodgers, but I made an exception for a few years while Fred was there.

The #1 best thing on that list was 18 holes of Golf on a sunny day. Also, he said that Eminem and Bill O’Rielly were accomplished rappers: quite possibly the funniest thing anyone has ever said about Bill O’Rielly, EVER. Now I must go. I have typed “Bill O’Rielly” on this keyboard several times now and must wash it with a caustic, shrive it with prayer and slam my typing fingers in a desk drawer as punishment.

Why would they involve the guy who does this for a living when they can just go to their panel of resident “experts?”

Classic case of “we can do your job better than you” and then totally screwing things up.

Mike Piazza should have been a lifetime Dodger, well, right up until his knees were ready to fall out and THEN he should have gone to the Mets because no one cares about the Mets really.
