Kudos to my colleague Jim Baumbach. A 3:15 a.m. wakeup call? Very impressive. But the key to waking up early is not to sleep, and I pulled an all-nighter waiting for my ride to JFK this morning. Nothing like the 6:30 a.m. flight to LAX after a night game at Shea. Woo-hoo.
On the plus side, I'm now sitting in the press box at beautiful Dodger Stadium, where it's a sunny 70 degrees and the grounds crew is hosing down the infield. The Mets will be working out at 8 p.m. EDT in preparation of ending LA's season. Think this series is over? It would be tough to favor the Mets in the Greg Maddux-Steve Trachsel matchup, but the Dodgers don't seem to have much fight left in them. What's the thinking out there in Met-Land? Stick a fork in the Dodger Dogs?
**** Bonus question: Can you name the man in the above picture? Hint: You can hear him after every Dodgers win at Chavez Ravine. I know, it's a layup, but I'm feeling a little woozy this afternoon.

The man in the picture is Tommy Lasorda. I am basing that theory on the engorged profile of his stomach and the stench of the linguini coming through my computer screen. Thanks. Looks like he is expecting a baby calf.
But the real man in question is Nomar Garciaparra. How about an update on his health, Jim Baumbach is riveting but he only makes us hot, he doesn't make us burn.
