Here's the latest from Sierra Madre Sue:As of this writing, my LOS ANGELES DODGERS are undefeated for the first two games of the season, which may seem insignificant, but ANY games we can take away from the San Francisco Giants will make a difference come October! I did not go to Opening Day this year, but stayed home and watched it on TV in the comfort of my own living room. After all, I was still recovering from the 9-hour excursion to the exhibition game at the Coliseum Saturday night! It was grueling, but I'm glad I was there.
Fellow True Blue fan, DAVE HALL is pictured with me this week, in honor of the Dodgers 50th season in L.A. Dave will be playing bass with RICK SHEA & THE LOSIN' END at the BUCCANEER LOUNGE this Friday night. Details below... GO DODGERS!
