Beach Boys "Fun Fun Fun" at Dodger Stadium

[bgas]

No Albert Pujols, no Tony LaRussa, no World Series.  All they have is Freese and Beltran hitting for power.  No mas!

Pujols schmuholes; so what. he's only one guy. we've got a whole team! molina, holliday, freese, furcal, berkman, beltran, descalso, jay, and the list goes on and on. sad for the rest of the league who have virtually nobody.
Hey! Howzabout those Beach Boys?

And Ozzie Guillen gets suspended for telling the truth...........

Maybe this has been posted? I jus found it. Jeff will be there singing tomorrow too, so it looks like they will do more complex harmonies and higher registers and whatever. http://www.kool.fm/kool-music/c22e3f5b4e1af5283d246a793e5a2528

There's an audio link but it looks like it's Real Audio PLayer file and I don't have that.

We asked Foskett -- who'll be performing tomorrow at Dodger's Stadium -- if as a young fan following the Beach Boys, he thought David Marks stood out from the pack: "I did, certainly, because he was much closer to my age than the other guys were. I mean, I'm 14 years younger than Brian, so David's only 10 years older than me? Y'know, and so I thought, 'Well this guy's much closer to me than Brian is.' And I was very aware of David Marks and I was very aware when Alan (Jardine) replaced him. And. . . we owned the Surfin' Safari and Surfin' U.S.A. albums, and then the next single that we got was 'Don't Worry Baby' - 'I Get Around,' and that has them on (UCLA's) Royce Hall's steps -- but Jardine's in the picture."

Thanks. I didn't see it before

And Ozzie Guillen gets suspended for telling the truth...........

That's funny, Ozzie Guillen himself had a different version of it this morning:

Ozzie Guillen accepted full responsibility for his comments about Fidel Castro and expressed extreme regret and embarrassment during a press conference at Marlins Park on Tuesday morning.

Speaking moments after his five-game suspension was announced by the Miami Marlins, Guillen said he did not mean to say he loved and respected the Cuban dictator in a Time magazine interview.

"I was thinking in Spanish and I said it wrong in English," said Guillen, who answered questions in both his native Spanish and English during the press conference.

"I'm not saying the journalist was wrong. I was wrong. I had one thing in mind and I said something else."

Guillen, from Venezuela, said repeatedly that he does not admire Castro -- "a person who has caused a lot of damage, a lot of pain," he said -- even if that's how his comments came out.

"I don't want to make any excuses," he said. "What I wanted to say was I was surprised Fidel Castro stayed in power so long."

Throughout the press conference, which lasted more than 45 minutes, Guillen apologized many times.

"I feel like I betrayed my Latin community," he said. "I'm here to say I'm sorry with my heart in my hands."

He added: "I will do everything in my power to make it better. I'm very, very, very sorry."

Brian in a suite at Dodger Stadium with a fan



Sound Check

[Stegibo]

Awkward hairdo. The setting looks nice though!

[SMiLE Brian]

Bruce's shorts.

[Justin]

8 mics up there which include Foskett and Cowsill.  Who's the 8th...Darian...Scott?

[guitarfool2002]

Where are Mike and Al?

And go back a few pages, the poster who guessed Bruce would be wearing the hat gets the prize! That, and the shorts of course.

[Mikie]

GF, I was in a hurry and mis-read what the article said.  Guillen's a good man. I believe him.

I know what he was really thinking when he gave that interview though!

[Mikie]

All they need up there is Brian, Mike, Al, Bruce, and Dave with maybe Foskett doing the high part.  That's it!

And somebody please tell Bruce not to wear white shorts.  Hats are fine but loose the damn shorts!

Al and the Loverster I would assume.

Oops. I thought there were only 7. Misread thy post.

Bruce needs his shorts.  Awesome pix!

All I hear is jealousy of Bruce's impossibly tanned, slender, and supple thighs.

eeeee! This is so exciting! I wish I was there.

On the toilet.

Brian looks like he hasn't missed too many meals.....

Guillen definitely messed up in a big way - if what he meant to say got lost in his translation, that's what he's standing by and if people like the way he manages, that's that. However the Marlins have every right to suspend him or fire him over this, because he is working for a corporate interest that depends on the community and the people who come to see the games to support the team, buy the merchandise, and buy tickets to the Marlins games.

The team relocated to "Little Havana" in Miami, they're trying to connect and brand themselves within the Cuban-American community there which has money to spend and many of which are baseball fans, and it looks like Guillen really screwed the pooch on this one. There are some things you just don't say as a representative of his organization, and this is one of them.

Guillen aside, I think the Marlins' mascot "Billy Marlin" is one of the most annoying mascots in all of baseball. The best clip I saw of him was when he was being towed in the outfield behind an ATV or something, and something went wrong which sent him crashing into the outfield wall.

They both had to go at the same time?

I'm wondering if this picture is of them rehearsing the "mini-concert" set after the Anthem?  I doubt David would use a guitar to accompany them on the National Anthem plus you can see a guitar behind Foskett.  Hmm...kinda hoped to see the full band up there playing but I guess this will be a good sampler of the vocals for the tour.

Small acoustic set after Star Spangled Banner. I guess.

Well, that's the whole thing and the reason the Marlins had to take action. I guess Guillen may have (at least temporarily) offended most of the Miami (and South Florida) population. If it were some place like Seattle or S.F. or Minnesota, he'd probably be off the hook. But there's a huge Cuban community down there. A lot of Cuban and Puerto Rican and Venezuelan players throughout baseball, and I believe they will see Guillen's side of things here. Again, Guillen will come back and be even more motivated to win games and the club will support him. He's a good Manager, and over time that's what will override what was construed in the interview. He doesn't really need to prove himself as a baseball Manager.

Was unaware of the Billy Martin mascot. Have to check that out!
