Mmmm! This is fantastic! Really sticks to my ribs, which is getting harder and harder to do. But that is a wonderful first course. I'll tell you another great first course - playing the Pirates so early in the season! The Dodgers just took care of those guys in orderly fashion and swept em right outta town. Nice to see some things never change. That puts us to 6-1, which is our best start since 1981. I don't need to remind you what happened that year! The one bad thing about the Pirates series was that Vin Scully was unable to call the games due to illness. Of course, we all wish him immediate good health. Dodger baseball isn't the same without him.
(belch) Whoop. Where's the waiter? Gettin' the salad? OK. You wanna know something? I'm gonna give you inside information on this "blog" - you keep this between you and me. Vin is sick, but honestly? He just didn't want to call these Pirates games. When we got the schedule, he and I were reviewing it over chicken cordon bleu at The Grill on the Alley. Vin saw that and said "Oh Tommy. Heavens, no. The Pirates? I suppose we could draw a parallel to college football homecoming." I couldn't figure it out until he said MLB must have awarded us the Pirates due to all this shit with new owners. Do they really do that?
Then I thought about how Selig a decade ago used to make sure the Yankees started off with the Royals or Tampa (back when they were dogshit) every year. We'd all look at that and say "what a fucking coincidence. Looks like another great start." Then I see our start this year: Padres and Pirates. Maybe I should stop complaining! But I can't blame Vin for wanting to avoid boredom by--
Ah...that looks great. Yeah, a little pepper...I need fresh Parmesan cheese on this too, you know.
