today is friday 19 september 2003.

out in the east coast--i hear some schools got two days off because of the hurricane. i remember we used to get the week off--nice thing when hawaiian electric couldn't get the the generators on the island kick started.

dodgers miraculously won last night. one of these days gagne may blow it--but it doesn't appear to be soon.

smoltz of the braves is aching--but says he'll pitch. but something is wrong. something is definitely wrong.

padres at colorado tonight. i don't know about this series--you could see a lot of good people playing. of course, you could see a lot of pre-spring training try-outs going on.

i will be the first to say this--next year could be a very, very, very scary year in the nl west. dodgers-giants always keeps things interesting. the key for the dodgers is if they ever get any offense--a healthy green will help. burnitz will help. and whoever plays for on first should help. san fran will always be scary if felipe alou is in charge. the big surprise will be san diego--bochy still has magic--the middle lineup of nevin, klesko, giles, and nady will make the introduction of petco park miserable to the rest of the world. colorado may compete--it will be up to their pitching, though stacked has a tendency to still either be injured or ineffective. d-backs could go either way--yes we dismissed them earlier this year, but only yesterday were they eliminated from the post-season. they can compete to the end again next year.
