Barry Bonds thinks that there is an I in Team! It seems that when it counts, the big bats go silent, and the players that aren't superstars get the job done.

However, I always liked Mike Sciosia when he catched for the Dodgers. (He IS beginning to look a lot like Lasorda, your right on that Jill!) This is the first time that I too am cheering for the Angels. They have a lot of Heart, (not to mention "no mercy Percy", and that youngster Rodriguez), and that goes a LOONNNGGG way in this game! Let's hope that the pitchers don't pitch around the Big Boys and their hot bats. I just want to see a fair game, and what everyone has to offer in this series~just let it RIP!!! :-)

JB, I will settle for my XXL Cougartown T-Shirt that is on back order for 2 years if the Giants win. If the Halos win, I will send you either a Willie Brown or Gay Pride Day t-shirt, your choice. And what's with all this anti-old men sentiment? We get the job done, stay cool under fire like Enza said, keep CT alive, etc. So don't underestimate a highly motivated geezer getting his last shot at redemption. Hey, lets have fun this week and thank the big guy upstairs (no not Bud Selig) that we don't have a killer sniper or terrorist bomber to worry about for a little while. That's what baseball is all about. Over the Hill Guy up North
No XXL's yet, Dean; maybe next year. So I guess you don't have enough confidence in your beloved geezers to make the bet. I'll tell you what, if you PROMISE to wear the USC shirt all year, if the Angels win, then I promise to wear a lowly Fresno St shirt if the Giants win....how's that?

Rule #2 is "See rule #1".....Rule #3 is (and read it closely!) "BASEBALL IS A YOUNG MAN'S SPORT." For the first time ever, I will root for the A.L. team.

Message: I just finished reading Wayne Dickey's tribute to Mr. Fred Morgan. I also remember him as a wonderful man. He was always yelling at us to face our "Snot lockers forward" during band practice. He handed all of us majorettes band instruments one day and said "Learn to play them, your getting credit for band class!" I was so impressed, I took french horn lessons. One trip, on the way to Santa Maria, he handed us all sticks of gum to chew, then he collected them and used them to repair the spangles on the Hawthorne sign to be carried in the parade. He made do with crummy uniforms and old instruments. A very resourceful man! Years later, when my father was dying at Hawthorne Community Hospital, I asked for pastoral care, and in walks Rev. Morgan! Things had come full circle, and here he was again, ready to support me. I hope wherever he is, he is having a good life. Thanks Wayne Dickey, for jogging my memory.
Hi Kathy, Fred Morgan is alive and well and, the last I heard, living in Santa Maria, CA. Janet and I saw him last year at the funeral for Frankie Ayres, for whom the HHS band room is now dedicated.

Message: Good Luck in the World Series to all you Dodger fans who reformed in the last week and jumped onto the Angel bandwagon. This should be a great series with the NoCal vs SoCal and Old Men vs Youth Angels in the I-5 World Series (doesn't sound right does it?). I am glad that we don't have to hear anymore about winning the series for someone who is dying of cancer or already struck down in his youth (please don't tell me Gene Autry is on life support still). We had to put up with the Yankees using this strategy 4 straight years (and it worked), so I guess I wasn't too weepy for the Cardinals tough luck (doesn't everybody and every team have somebody to win it for- It's the win one for the ol' Gipper strategy).
My only prediction is who ever gets solid pitching will win, otherwise we'll see horrible 13-5 little league games since both teams have great hitters.
BTW, we'll pitch to Adam (who?) Kennedy if you agree to throw to BB, deal???
El Gigante Grande
OK Dean, we'll pitch to Barry (I'm turnin' my son into a sissy by kissin' him so much on the lips) Bonds if you promise to wear a USC Tshirt for a year, if by chance the Angels happen to get lucky and win the series.

Message: John, and fellow Cougs, hello--I just wanted to pop in and press the flesh of those distinguished grads of the most recognizable surfer school in the world in the heels of what is cerainly the greatest surfer tragedy there will ever be. The Sari Club in Bali was a big surfer hang, the biggest one in Southeast Asia, and I've known many of our own locals to hit the place and hang and behave there as surfers do. Though I don't think I know anyone who lost life in this tragedy, because there were so many surfers there I feel loss today comparable to what I felt at the WTC bombings. I hope that Cougars have a space in their hearts in these upcoming weeks for remembering the surfers, lots and lots of them, who were victims of anonymous global terrorism and lost their lives in Bali. Maybe the papers won't feature these people as being as heroic as firefighters, but these two categories of people have always had similiarities in my mind, and share many qualities, including lifelong athleticism, loving fun, and fearlessness. If you know an Aussie especially you might take a moment and send your condolences now, as that nation grieves--trust me, if it comes from a Cougar it will be meaningful gesture. There's an article in today's Times "Terror Risks Stop Few Bali-Bound Surfers", and that is certainly the kind of response you expect from our homegrown culture. Peace and boat drinks--Joseph
Thanks Joseph... well said.

I'm a Dodger fan, never did like the Angels, but anyone playing the Giants gets my vote of confidence. A note to the SC people, you just can't get a correct call when playing SC on their field.

Scioscia, Alfredo Griffin and Mickey Hatcher all played in the 88 WS, and if the Giants win tonight, Dusty Baker played with the Dodgers and played in the 77,78 and 81 WS, so you see, there is a blue crew connection, ok its far-fetched I know. Note to Mike Scioscia, you are a brillant manager, obviously Tommy taught you well, but you are starting to look like Tommy, must be a manager thing. Hope everyone is having a good Monday!
Also, from a Dodger fans standpoint, I would love the see the Angels kick the slats out of the Giants in the World Series.
