Hall Of Fame Return x2: Jamie Jarrin Coming Back To Dodgers In 2012

It was a great weekend at Dodger Stadium for legendary Hall of Famers deciding to return in 2012. Like Vin Scully on Friday night, Jaime Jarrin on Sunday afternoon during his game broadcast on Univision Radio KTNQ 1020 announced his that he would return to broadcast Dodgers games in 2012.
"The Dodgers have invited me back for another season, so you will have to be by my side again," Jarrín joked with analyst Fernando Valenzuela on air during the second inning. "I love what I do. It’s something I love and it brings me great joy to work alongside you and Pepe Yñiguez. I’m pleased to serve the Spanish-language community and really share baseball with them – such a beautiful and pristine sport."
Jarrin has called Dodgers games since 1959, so next season will be his 54th season behind the microphone. It is insane to think that with that many years of experience Jarrin is still second in seniority among Dodgers announcers.
Jarrin had a ridiculous streak from 1962 to 1984 when he called nearly 4,000 consecutive games. Jarrin still calls every game with Pepe Yñiguez, and is joined by Fernando Valenzuela on home games and west coast road games. Jarrin was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1998.

You know what had been around forever, until yesterday? My cleats. I’m realizing that they were just about the same age as you are. Had to have gotten them no later than ’87.

because his birthday is Thursday and mine is on Saturday, and homeboy arranges for something to be last Friday. It was kind of amazing. And dumb.
I pitched to Matt Kemp, and all I got was this stupid earned run.

He's athletic and did pretty well yesterday
Though i think I can fairly say I put some very nice swings on the ball for 3 line drive singles into left field. He fouled off a few and didn’t look great, which I was happy about a bit, lol.

Patti has spent a month in Arizona the last two years for all of the spring training games. She went last year (2010) and she and her husband had so much fun they signed up again for 2011 but her husband died before spring training this year so she went by herself. She was showing us her photo’s last night, she should have brought them to the picnic, got great ones with Jansen, Andre, Javy. Before they packed up and moved to Carson City 20 years ago she and her husband had front row Loge seats. Huge Dodger fan.

I’m sure this has been hashed, re-hashed, re-re-hashed, sliced, diced, and mutilated, but bear with me, I’m just catching up.
I have no idea what to make of this story. I liked Jon’s take. If Ethier is saying his knee is messed up but he can play, and the Dodgers are saying, you sure, ’cause if you need to shut it down, shut it down…. and on and on… then that is a situation where nobody is going to ask the right question or give the right answer.
I mean, unless I’m missing something, I bet Casey Blake is playing with a bunch of owies right now. Is anybody suggesting shutting Blake down for the season?

Got paid every year to go to Florida and “train” to play All Marine softball.

we played hawaiian baseball with a volleyball in middle school, PE in high school was laps and baseball. Didn’t play slow pitch until last year.
wow! kids today have it easy. When I was a kid we played softball but we didn’t have bats, we just punched the ball with our fists and ran to first base. First base was an old rusty nail and you had to completely puncture your foot otherwise you were out. And we liked it!

I wonder if that is the utlra-security floor
where they have a second set of metal detectors in case you some how got past the first set. Usually that’s where the gang-related cases take place.
I like the 1-trial, 1-day rule, my record is 1 jury trial (foreman), 1 called back for second day and released and 1 spent the one day and released.
I have spent the day and been released three times.
I’ve told this story before, but I have only once been called to a panel. The judge said that it was going to be a very long trial, so while he wasn’t excusing anybody, he would grant, upon request, a postponement of service — meaning, you come back another day for your one day or one trial service. That’s when person after person got up and started giving sob stories about why they needed the postponement. And after each one, he said, “Granted. You don’t need to tell me the whole story, just ask for the postponement and I’ll grant it.” This goes on and on. I’m maybe the tenth person, and I say, “Hi, I’d like a postponement.” He says, “Thank God, granted.”

UCLA may bring in a top 10 class, but
U OF A is going to bring in the #1 class, especially after they get the big 7 foot, 5 star European who is deciding between U of A and Kansas

You know
after having a proclaimed number one class with Jrue Holliday among them, I remain completely unconvinced none of this matters until you see them play.
But really there are two sports in college, the recruitment for football and men’s basketball and then the actual teams. Fans get a lot more excited about the former than the latter. Probably because the latter rarely meets the expectations of the former.

The Zoosk commercial is weird. Let’s see…I don’t want a romantic date because I might bump teeth with the other person?
I did that once, she just told me to use less teeth. Worked out fine

Softball / Picnic Fanpost – don’t shoot the messenger my memory is select and spotty regarding anything in the here and now.
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Stunning that Lance Berkman cleared waivers.

Carpenter didn’t, though, and was pulled back. Things that make you go, “Hmmm.”
I pitched to Matt Kemp, and all I got was this stupid earned run.
Carpenter
has a team option for $15M for 2012 so they might just want to keep him. Berkman is a FA, he’ll want a multi-year deal and with Pujols unsigned, no way Cards will do that. Berkman has about 1.3M left for 2011.
Unless they sign Prince and Jose Reyes with the Pujols money, worse.

In a post-Dionerpocalypse world, this lineup is pretty standard.
