WOW.....great reminiscing. Who was catching this game?

I chatted with Charlie on numerous occasions way back then, at the bar in Friday's. It wasn't really chatting though. It was more acknowledgement while we were both having a casual lunch, at the bar, enjoying some tea, etc.

This is when I first worked with Norm.
What did you do with Norm?

No kidding.

Desmond and Moreland are struggling. And when this happens I can't expect Elvis, Alberto, or Holaday to bail us out.
That's why I don't blame the PA guy for mixing up their names...Can't tell any difference between them on the stat sheet.

Nothing....We worked together at KPLX/KLIF back then. He did a morning sports show for a little while back then. ha ha

I hate to say something like this after so few games. BUT.........I wanted MM traded in the off-season really bad.

Moreland is a bigger (physically) version of Pete O'Brien. And neither one of em are/were worth a crap.

The George Wright game was the same year that Phil Pozderac single-handedly lost that game against the Giants with all of his holding calls. I remember thinking of George Wright and Phil Pozderac as a tandem for awhile after that.

Wow....I'd give you the hat-trick of "like/funny/winner." Which one you want?

Seriously, that's a great memory there partner.

I have to disagree about O'Brien. His three years in a row with over 20 HRs was pretty good in that time period. Unlike Moreland, O'Brien was almost always healthy. I was glad to have him on the team when he was here.

Today is a pretty disappointing day....thought we'd should've pitched better, but when you give up only 3 for 9, it's not so bad......But man-o-man, our hitting is really letting us down.

Either is fine. Thanks.

I had to refresh my mind on some of the details, but most of it is burned in my memory.

I will take 2-2 in Anaheim always. Could have been 3-1 or 1-3 just as easy.
