Ethier, Blake hurt, but not badly
They both suffered minor injuries in yesterday's game. Andre got hit by a batted ball on his left heel while taking fly balls in the outfield. Casey felt something in his groin while running in the outfield after he left the game. Neither is expected to miss more than a couple of days. ... By the way, I wrote here yesterday that Furcal and Hudson will play the next two games. Just to clarify, they'll play in tomorrow morning's B game, not the actual Cactus League game against the Mariners tomorrow afternoon. They WILL, however, play in today's Cactus League game with the Giants. ... Still nothing on Manny. I'm heading to Scottsdale and will check back in when I get there.
Tony,
I bought one of those Section 15 tickets for Sunday's game. Am I supposed to enter a separate parking lot? Or, am I just supposed to enter the park from a separate gate? Anything else I'm supposed to do differently once I arrive? Lastty, does the cost of the ticket include food, as with the right field pavilion at Dodgers Stadium) or am I on my own for the food?
Thanks so much, and if I'd be better addressing that to someone else, please just let me know....

But—- if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer
one year ago, drank all the beer,
then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund,
you will have received $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment plan
is to drink heavily & recycle.
It’s called the 401-Keg.
24 cans in a case. 24 hours in a day. Coincidence? I think not! But only your broker knows for sure.
Stephen,
Go find an usher.
Lawdog, WTF?
