The David Eckstein gaffe...

There is no spark to this offense.

After much consideration, it appears that we're most missing Eckstein. Not in the field, but when you have Figgy as DH, why not Eck? The offensive anemia continues and it makes me buy all of that sparkplug bullshit they fed us in 2002.

Bill Stoneman's stock drops...
Joe Maddon's chances at ever managing are taking a hit with his advocacy of signing Steve Finley...
Bud Black is moving up the charts...
Mickey Hatcher - nevah
Alfredo Griffin - nevah, but for sadly different reasons and realities.
Ron Roenicke? Who is he? What does he do? How much are his season seats?

Speaking of being at the staium without contributing anything tto the game, I got a brick with my name in it for my birthday last year and it was recently installed up the firstbase line of the brickyard at the entrance to Angel Stadium. Sweet.
