Hippy.

Hey Pete,

How does it feel to have your butt kicked everyday by Roch? While you post stuff about oversleeping, Roch has already posted several BLOGS of substance. I know, it's early in spring training. You'll probably get it together when the games begin. Right?

Speaking of Pete Rose, he was doing another one of his autograph sessions out in Vegas last week. Another famous person who really messed up his life and his stubborn denial of accepting the blame.

Pete,

Did we go to school together? Your diet and mine are very similar.

I love Diet Dr Pepper. It's a great engine cleaner.

Pete

I guess Diet Dr Pepper is your antidote for covering the O's , as it is mine for working the graveyard shift

This is true; The old Brooklyn Dodgers used to do a promotion where after a player hit a homerun, a carton of cigarettes would slide down the net behind home plate which the player would catch before he went to the dugout.

They don't have that promtion anymore. They don't have a team in Brooklyn anymore either.

Funny,I've been watching Ken Burns 1994 BASEBALL series--I purchased the DVD collection recently to indoctrinate my new girlfriend into the assorted vagaries of my favorite sport--and what you said about how far baseball has come even in the time you've been covering it really struck home. I was reminded of the part of the film about Branch Rickey, the "Michelangelo of Baseball," who was the first one to introduce batting cages, sliding pits, and even offering end of day lectures on baseball theory when he was manager and general manager with the St. Louis Browns and then the Cardinals...the sort of thing we take for granted with today's ballplayers...and this was back in the 19-teens. It just makes sense to do everything you can to get the most out ofa major league career which, I recall Ken Singleton saying, on average lasts 4 1/2 years. Not very long when you get right down to it, so taking steps to heighten your performance and to make the time in the bigs as enjoyable as possible makes perfect sense. Thanks, Mr. Rickey!

Is Doctor Pepper REALLY so misunderstood?

Pete, I think Beregenson is scheduled to throw off the mound tomorrow, so it's almost crunch time for the kid. A pain free performance and I think we can pencil him into the opening day lineup. If he experiences any discomfort right away or the next day I think it's probably the DL to start the season. Stay on top of that story for us{I know you will} as it is a critical one for the team this year.

Winston Churchill smoked five cigars a day and had his first (of many) daily bourbons upon waking up. He lived to 90. If those of you prefer chewing on tree bark granola bars, and drink Evian water (there is a reason it's spelled naive backwards) knock yourself out. Keep your yuppie craze to yourself. Life's too short. Excuse me while I finish this huge porterhouse steak with a heaping side of mashed potatoes smothered in garlic butter; followed by a couple large slices of pepperoni pizza with extra cheese, a bag or two of large salted cashews, then maybe a six pack of some real beer, not the watered down light variety, to wash it all down.

@ Reality Check... You forgot the bacon wrapped pork chops with a side of ham hash topped with a spotted owl egg.

Sounds like great work -- if you can get it . . .
