Good job

Actually great job, though I would have mentioned Matt Kemp and his CF play.

I missed an opportunity to drop a “Bison” reference mainstream.

Broxton

Too bad we won’t see Broxton vs. Hamilton. That would’ve been fun.

My favorite comment from the Dallas Morning News blog so far is this:

Richard – Dude, I’m sure Eric is a nice guy and all, but you should have have gotten Alyssa Milano for the Q&A session!

by Eric Stephen on Jun 12, 2009 12:31 PM PDT reply actions

I agree, but it wasn’t exactly a stiff competition.

by David Young on Jun 12, 2009 12:59 PM PDT up reply actions

It might have been for the Dallas guy if he'd gotten Alyssa

DTV switch

I just hooked up my 1999 Sony (only TV without a satellite connection) to one of the new converter boxes and was blown away by the picture/sound quality. It’s definitely elite stuff (and free). :)

Nice…I still have my first ever color TV (a 13" Daewoo); I wonder how that will look :)

by Eric Stephen on Jun 12, 2009 12:45 PM PDT up reply actions

Cool

I should get one and hook up up my wife’s old 13 Inch Sony that is probably 25 years old.

Nice work Eric

The responses are nicely thought out and articulated.

Pretty soon the press is going to be referring to you as “unnamed source familiar with Dodger thinking”.
