Week Two Spring Training Report By Mario Scalise March 4, 2003

Yep; you may want to come to Arizona dressed like this

Well I'm going by your California standards since thats where I am. Hopefully it heats up, but its supposed to rain out here all week and I'm assuming that carries over to Arizona.

Nope; last year I ripped his team and he kicked my ass en route to a 3rd place finish or I think thats where I ended up. This year I'll let my team do the talking.

Just sent you a private message

ok send it to me.. cause to tell ya the truth if it keeps comin down like this and its supposed to come down more tomorrow i may not make it out.......GOSH I HATE THIS PLACE IN WINTER..................of course it had to snow before i was to leave town right......couldnt wait till i was gone and maybe i couldnt get back right away....i could have done a few extra days in arizona........... Lol, I'm sure you'll make it out. I know Mario will be flying out on Thursday, so hopefully the sky's are clear for both of you. I'm worried cause its supposed to rain when were there. Usually it doesn't pour constantly in Arizona, but you never know. (Knock on Wood)

Thanks for the update Jim. It looks like you'll be in full form when I get out there. I'm going to be at Friday's game against the Padres and then Saturday's against the Cubs in Mesa. Are the minor leaguers typically on the field early? I'm going to get there right when the gates open on Friday. Sounds like your having a ton of fun out there too!!!

Ok, I send you a message with my cell number. I got tickets for the Sox game on Friday and am just going to go with grass seats for the Cubs - Sox game. As far as the regular season goes, hopefully I'll be out there, I know I will if the Sox make the series.

Hmmmm, It really doesn't matter to me either, depends on how many games you were planning on going to. Say if you were going to 2 games, I could by you a ticket and you can buy me a ticket to the other, a little checks and balances That sounds great to me. What game you want to get the ticket for and what game should I get it for? Also, where you want to sit? just to keep asking f***ing questions... which 2 games are you going to? Since the 7th has to be one of them I'll buy the tickets for the 7th, you do it for the 6th or 8th. I really don't know Dodger Stadium that well, didn't you say your Dad was a Dodger fan? See if he knows which are the quality seats to see at Chavez Ravine, within reasonable price range that is... Ya, he's a Dodger fan, but he wouldn't have a clue when it comes to stuff like that. I'll get tickets for Friday's game...I think. The only reason I'd say Sunday is because there wouldn't be any traffic. I won't be able to buy them till Sunday night though so you'll probably be able to get a bit better tickets then I will, but I don't think too many people will be buying these seats way in advance. Was looking the seating charge and the loge seats look pretty nice. They are like 17 bucks or something. http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/NASApp/m...ing_pricing.jsp

Michelle a bit off topic but: You already get tickets to the Cubs game on Saturday? I was looking and they don't got much left. Was going to see if you knew a way around it to find some better seats

IMO, the worst was that 19-0 loss to the world champion Angels. That was BRUTAL. and unfortunately, I was there to see it all. As for the switch-about that oldroman proposed..of course I would choose the Crede homer in Cubs game. I dont care WHO hit that game winning homer, it just matters that it was done, and the sCrubs were handed their sorry little asses. Ya, many of us California Sox fans were there too see it. I actually think all of the ones in the SOCal area made it out for that lousy game. Man, everytime I watch the two teams play the Angels kick the crap out of them. This year get to not only see the Sox play the Angels but also the Dodgers, hopefully the Sox take care of business when do Dodger tix go on sale anyway? They go on sale Saturday March 8th at 9am. I'll be in Arizona then, but do you want to figure out a way where we can sit in the same row or something like that? yeah, how do you want to go about it? Doesn't matter to me. Do you want me to get you a ticket and then you can just pay me back at the game? I can call you before I order them or something or would you want to take care of that?

I didn't know you had PS2, Cali. When amazon.com gets it to me, I'll play that thing like a mofo and post my insight on the game. amazon = GOD. I love that site, it gets me what I'm looking for. I just pre-ordered the Family Guy Season 1 and 2 DVD from there a couple days ago. Can't wait for it!! Damn, didn't know it was up. I'll be buying those

What the hell kind of high schools do some of you people go to? I never saw cops searching peoples lockers and stuff or having dogs sniffing. Where I was I didn't even think they could search your locker without probable cause.

I didn't got to one game because i thought I was cursed. Of course they can't win a damn thing on the entire West Coast so I realized I may just have to move to Hawaii, lol. I did see them win a game 19-1 the year before though. Buerhle was the pitcher.

I'm going to wait and see with all the pitchers. One outing or so doesn't mean much. All I want to hear are positive comments and good signs when I watch them throw this week. Typically these guys are practicing and working on a lot of things early during spring. Maybe adding another pitch or working on a specific pitch, therefor they throw it way more often and batters can sit on it, etc.

The Sox should look what the Dodgers did with Buerhle and give him something along the lines of 500 - 600 k. They won't though, it will be in the high to mid 3's. The other guys won't make as much as Garland or at least I doubt they will.

Well, 3 years from now it will definately be Prior. This guy could be Clemens/Nolan Ryan or BETTER. Still its a tough answer considering what Buerhle has already proven and hopefully he will keep getting even better and stay healthy.

I definitely do not agree with my fellow canadian on this one. From previous seasons and relatively young age I'm lead to believe Holt still has a chance at making the show. He's got great power potential. This season will be key for him. If he has another good year and builds on last year, his name will of been revived on the prospect lists.

It sounds like the pitching staff did good again today.

Clement looks like stretch armstrong or something in that picture, just so fake looking.

I like the bigger lists so you can learn more about more of the players. A lot of the times in a trade it isn't the top 10 guys to go, so its nice to know a bit about who you traded or who you got in return.

Ya, I heard about the shadows and that sounded really cool. It has to take a lot of planning/astrology, etc to get it planned out perfectly.
