Is anyone out there planning on going to the series versus Pittsburgh, April 30-May 2? I am heading to L.A. for that series. It is an easy time for me to get out there to visit the brother and watch him and the Dodgers play for a few days. Just wanted to ask to see who else goes to many games and/or lives out there, or who I might have the opportunity to meet while I am visiting.

Anyone planning on heading over with the Dodgers to Taiwan for a few days in Spring Training? Wasn't sure how many knew about it and/or planning on going. Looks like they will be there for a few days, with a couple of days to mainly get adjusted. However, they will be playing two days, March 13th and 14th. I am not sure who they are playing as of yet, though I don't think any other MLB teams are headed over. As soon as I know, I will pass more info along.

and just becuase you need another outfielder...

Chris Snelling is available...again

Philadelphia Phillies: Optioned OF Chris Snelling to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and designated him for assignment.

So I guess he will be available or could be available in the next 10 days or so.

No pun intended.  Jesse Foppert was moved to AAA Tacoma today (Sunday) by the M's.  It hasn't come out anywhere that I have seen yet, well, wait, here is confirmation:

After yesterday, who would have doubted that this would have happened.  He didn't have his A or B game yesterday, at all.

Felix "The King" Hernandez pitched the first inning of today Charity Game versus the San Diego Padres.  He "wowed" the crowd, as well as the Padres, by striking out the side on only 13 pitches.  That was the only inning he pitched, by the way.

I don't have all the other details, on the game, only knowing that the final score was a 2-2 tie after going 10 innings.

For those with interest, Texas signed Durazo to a minor league deal, with an invite to ST.  Some people had mentioned his name in the off-season, in other forums/diaries, so I thought I would mention it.

Can't be that bad to just give him a shot, to at least see what he can still do, especially after surgery.
