Just heard on AM830 with Rex and Jeff BIggs that Vlad has shaved his head.  Hopefully the old look Vlad will start producing like the old Vlad.  Thought about posting a survey on this but I'm just to lazy.  If you are continuing to read this post, it is because I have yet to reach the minimum of seventy five words.  Thank you for your coopertation.  Oops, still a little short, perhaps now I will meet the required minimum.

I had to drive down to Dana Point for a family event on Sunday, and was amazed how weak the signal for 830 was while I was driving and listening to the game.  The signal started to lose strength as I was passing through Irvine, and, by the time I reached San Juan Capistrano, it was virtually unlistenable.  I know the station signal is weak in the Valley, but these areas are in Orange County, and not that far from the station which is at The BIg A.  Has anyone else experienced this frustration?

Has anyone else noticed that there seems to be a higher amount of broken bats this season?  Not only that, but the broken parts of the bats seem to be launching into the field of play more than I remember.  I could see if there was only one bat manufacturer that some sort of slight change in production would cause this, but there are several bat makers.  Have they all changed something at once to cause all of this?  I throw this out to our esteemed panel for discussion.
