    In past years, the ASG manager decided the lineup card, including which pitcher was starting. When Bochy & LaRussa/Matheny was the manager, they chose their own pitcher over Kershaw, even in his CY Young & MVP seasons.

    I was glad to see that Kershaw proved that he(unlike his teammate who got rocked) earned his first ASG start (finally, in his 9th ASG selection) with a pickoff of Shohei after giving up the leadoff hit, the strikeout of Judge & getting Vlad Jr to hit a routine grounder to his SS for the...

    Mine was NJT from Hamilton(Trenton suburb) to Penn Station in midtown Manhattan(about a 90 minute ride), for visits to my aunt & uncle on the Upper West Side.

    He was the Voice of the Dodgers for the better part of 7 decades(67 seasons, from 1950 til 2016). For much of his time in LA, Vin did both the radio & tv simultaneously. He had some of the most legendary calls, like Koufax’s perfect game in ‘65, Clark’s catch in Jan 82, Gibby’s walkoff in 88...

    Terry- I have the same frustration with the tablet that we use to watch late night ballgames(9ish CT start). I've been using iOS products for a decade now. Started with the first gen iPod Touch & then switched to iPhone after I moved to WI(same time as iPhone became available with VZW.

    Guy- it's like the old saying goes, "A ballplayer can fail 7 out of every 10 trips to the plate & still make it to Cooperstown(unless he breaks the cardinal rule about gambling)". I look at weather forecasts this way: they're just guessing. Yes, it's educated guessing(with various computer...

    Louis- That's why anytime I get a phone call that does not come up as one of my contacts, I let it go to voicemail. If they don't leave a voicemail, block & delete. Speaking of phones, I got a new one last week. I was having issues with my old phone. I was having sound issues with it, both...

    My niece got married in Monza(her hubby’s hometown) few years ago. Afterwards, my mom, sister, BIL & youngest nephew took the train up to Stuttgart to break bread with distant relatives who still live in the area. When my BIL was stationed at Heidelberg(early 2K’s), they used to get together...

    Dave- Duluth? I thought you were north of The Cities(like Hinkley area). Sorry if I misremembered. My paternal side emigrated from England in the 1640’s. My maternal German side emigrated into 1870’s, but the lineage has been traced back to Feuerbach(greater Stuttgart) in the late 16th Century...
