today is wednesday 04 august 2004.

don't get me started on the dodger trades . . . i think depotesta is nuts. but i believe this whole mess was a scheme to cut payroll. the team depodesta inherited wasn't built for power--it was built for creative scoring. getting rid of roberts is nuts. getting rid of mota is nuts. getting rid of lo duca is nuts. depodesta has a power mentality--hence ross behind the plate. hence steve finley instead of roberts. if the dodgers start to slide--then yes depodesta is nuts. if they continue to win --then maybe i'm the one that's nuts.

nonetheless, "my dodgers" continue their winning ways. beat the pirates last night.

i've got a new york mets shirt that incites some sort of comment every single time i wear it. and i kid you not--every single time i wear it. and the comments usually don't come from people that know me . . . case in point, yesterday i'm hanging out at t-mobile . . . some guy asks me if i was a mets fan--the dude was from the bronx.

and when i was at spicy pickle--when they're preparing my order, i'm known not by name but by shirt (mets).

even when i wore my mets shirt in hawaii--these tourists thought i was new york.

but i guess it doesn't help that i keep up with the team.

i took the same "what kind of dog are you" test that hadj took--and yes i'm a rottweiler also.
