After already mentioning Jose Lima today, let’s head back out to Dodger Stadium to check out another piece of talent past her prime.
Former Baywatch star and rock-star bicycle Pamela Anderson threw out the first pitch for the Dodgers last night. As you can see, the reading on the JUGGS gun was “two.” Read more…
As a public service, State Farm would like to remind you that Pedro Guerrero is still alive (remember, Eddie Guerrero is the dead one). And that the extremely intelligent former 1981 World Series MVP for the Dodgers is now the front man for the State Farm-sponsored Fiesta del Jonron Tour, a Cinco de Mayo celebration that is expected to draw as many as 500,000 Latino customers.
(Pete’s perk: State Farm covers Jheri’d hair, satin jax for fire damage)
Oh, so you’re gonna get a popular Hispanic Dodger from the ’80s and it’s not Fernando Valenzuela? For shame, State Farm. It’s not as though your commercials aren’t bad enough. Read more…
With Pope Benedict coming to America this week, good catholic Tommy Lasorda plans on meeting the pontiff. And this will be the third pope he claims he’s had the honor of visiting with in person.

Andruw Jones is in a season-opening slump. The new $36.2 million addition to the Dodgers lineup has begun his first year in L.A. with a batting average around .100 and no home runs yet belted.
And speaking of belts, T.J. Simers of the LOS ANGELES TIMES argues that it could be Andruw’s expanding waistline that’s expanding his problems in the batter’s box. Read more…
We’re soon moving back to Los Angeles. We’re going to miss the weather here in Miami, but at least we have something to look forward to in SoCal this summer: Larry Bowa.
We’re thinking the Dodgers may finally push through and do some serious damage in the NL playoffs this season. But more important is the well-mannered gent manning the third base coach’s box for the club.
Bowa last night was involved in what umpire Ed Montague called, “One of the dumbest ejections I’ve ever had.” Of course, we loved every minute of it. Read more…
• For those still stuck in traffic, THE GRIDDLE cooks up this nifty photo from Saturday’s Dodgers-Red Sox game at the L.A. Coliseum:
• THE LEGEND OF CECILIO GUANTE wants it both ways, as they wonder if they’ll ever see a two-sport pro again.
• LIGHTNING STRIKES slashes up news that Tampa Bay skater Dan Boyle almost had his own Richard Zednik/Clint Malarchuk moment.
After six decades of vacationing in Vero Beach, the Dodgers are departing Dodgertown for the last time.
