I Have Nothing to Add

Until MLB and the MLBPA start talking, there is nothing to say. Both sides are selfish, greedy, pampered buffoons. I am not going to embarrass myself like some blogs who just try and invent stuff to talk about. There’s nothing to say that hasn’t been said… ad nauseam. I’m out…

Until MLB and the MLBPA start talking, there is nothing to say. Both sides are selfish, greedy, pampered buffoons.

I am not going to embarrass myself like some blogs who just try and invent stuff to talk about. There’s nothing to say that hasn’t been said… ad nauseam.

I’m out. Feel free…

    It’s a slow day. OK, Everyone needs to have a lab in their house.

    I know a guy who can provide you with laboratory-grade water:

    Mark – you mention potatoes, I am all in. Our family grow potatoes in Alberta for Frito and McCains. But, I have a recipe for you all that you will enjoy forever. Gerhard’s “Roesti” . Everybody likes crispy fried potatoes for breakfast, so let’s fry both sides. In the microwave, hot raw, onions, red peppers, carrots and Rosemary ham, all cut to 1/2″ square for five minutes. In a bowl shred some cheese, I use Costco Gouda dried in the fridge to dry it and age it, cut up a bundle of cilantro and mix the two. Now in the fry pan, and I use an electric one, melt lots of butter on low, season with Lowry’s Seasoning Salt to taste and to hold the butter in place. Now shred raw, unpeeled potatoes 1 1/2′ thick. Turn the heat up high, and place some small cubes of butter around the top. When the butter is melted, time to flip the potatoes and fry the other side. Now place the veggie mix all over the top, next spread the cheese/cilantro mix. When the cheese melts – Bingo, ready to enjoy. When I have been in the states, I have trouble finding Red skinned potatoes with Yellow flesh. The variety I use is Mozart, a patented Dutch variety, the best flavour we have ever tasted in a potato. My wife is from Denmark, 54 years now, and always asked why can’t we grow good tasting potatoes here, she loves the Mozart’s. Thanks again for all the great reading and A Safe, Healthy and Happy 2022 to you all.

    On A Dodger note – I would welcome Grienke back in heartbeat – love his fiery attitude.

    Happy Birthday to Sandy Koufax. He is 88 years old today.

    That works!

    I agree that there’s not much to talk about, but it makes it worse when every time I post it says “Your comment is awaiting moderation.”…

    Any fix for this?

    My son and wife are involved in inventory today and tomorrow.

    My daughter-in-law is managing http://www.UpDoDown.com (my wife’s other business).

    Daycare is closed.

    So here is my office today. Notice the TV.

    I heard he (Kyle Seager) was trying to go to Texas and I guess Texas wasn’t interested.

    Ben Zauzmer was promoted to assistant GM of NY Mets. He was once highly regarded in the Dodgers front office.

    Interesting post in MLB Trade Rumors on the net worth of MLB owners (or primary owners). Steve Cohen of the Mets is #1 at $15.9 BB! Reds, Brewers, Rays and DBacks owned by non-billionaires. (only 4 franchises)

    Kyle Seager announced his retirement. Surprising.

  10. RichieFDecember 29, 2021

    Nothing much to talk about BUT today is my 79th Birthday AND my 58th Anniversary. I was in the Army at the time and came home from France to get married. To this day I tease my wife saying I got married so I could live off post in a trailer camp.

    Not sure how much I was making at the time but when I signed up and went to Fort Dix my monthly pay was $78 per MONTH.

    Bobby, we need to have a few more beers at Dodger Stadium next year!

    I wanted to rent a Suite, but the cheapest I could get was $12,000 and it only allowed 15 people!

  12. OldBear48December 29, 2021

    I will be home soon and have a couple of stories in mind….

  13. sbuffaloDecember 29, 2021

    Okay, we should just say it.

    Uh, well, there is nothing to say or talk about, is there? Time to move on.

  14. BobbyDecember 29, 2021

    Likewise. There isn’t any baseball to talk about.

    The Lakers suck. The Kings are eh. Football will get more fun in Jan when the playoffs start.

    I have zero interest in reading about Covid or politics on this board.

    Some dude cussing at Mark yesterday was uncalled for; I’ve met Mark and we had a great time over a few drinks.

    I guess we can discuss food? Tonight I’ll go get some tandoori platter with various chicken, lamb, and shrimp in it. Veggies you say? I’ll have onions and some chutney for that!

Dodgers Food Trailer

I did this interview a couple of weeks ago with Chef Mike, who runs the Dodgers Food Trailer for the Great Lakes Loons. They are there for every home and road regular season and playoff game. They prepare three meals a day for approximately 50 people (players and coaches). Since games end late most evenings, they do not prepare breakfast. Many of their hotels have a complimentary breakfast anyway. However,…

Meet LAD 2026 Draft Picks 1-12

3 picks were High School players (2 SS and 1 OF). There was a college OF, college catcher, college SS, and 10 college pitchers. Of all the talk for a need for a catcher, the only catcher the Dodgers selected was Luke Bard, son of LAD bullpen coach Josh Bard. Bard was a 4th year senior from Houston Christian University. He is not a prospect, so the Dodgers are still…

Interview with Paul Beachy – Team Bus Driver For The Great Lakes Loons (LA Dodgers Minor League Team)

It’s been a few days since I did this interview. We have evidently been working my son-in-law (the video guy) like a rented mule at US Water Systems. However, I am taking him to London with me in a few days, so maybe Watford will buy him a pint as a tip, but he’s a dang Red Sox fan, so there is that! I thought that it would be interesting…

Thanks for Your Service: Chris Taylor

I was going to do this post when Chris announced he was retiring, then he changed his mind, but since the chances of him ever playing for the Dodgers again are slim and non-existent, I will go ahead with this post. He unretired, went on the IL, then decided to call it quits on May 24th. Taylor was born in Virginia Beach VA on August 29th, 1990. He attended Great…
