A good film that, I think...I managed to see it too. A good film that, I think, would have benefited from a longer run time, even an extra half-hour just to dig further into some of the stories of the families, as well as the persecution of the housing official, and just how the city and the Dodgers approached the situation, and O'Malley's feelings, if any, about the displaced citizenry. I think I'm gonna try and grab that Ry Cooder CD...<BR/><BR/>In rereading my post re Little Cesar, I did use the phrase "if all continues to go well" regarding Barmes's prospects for winning the NL Rookie of the Year.

It's enough to make Reyes and Furcal start wearing industrial strength trusses and hiring someone to do the shopping for them. <BR/><BR/>I am happy for our scrappy Venezuelan shortstop though!Dennis Cozzaliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954848938471883431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1118299135231461492005-06-08T23:38:00.000-07:002005-06-08T23:38:00.000-07:00I saw this tonight.

As I just told one of my fellow bloggers at the KPCC site, the term that best fits Walter O'Malley is "carpetbagger."<BR/><BR/>By the way, Cesar is 0 for 20-something since your post, but he has risen to #4 in the all-star balloting, so maybe you've been a blessing and a curse.<BR/><BR/>And now that Barmes is hurt, could it be that the NL shortstops will be Little Cesar and Eck?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1118268786024491572005-06-08T15:13:00.000-07:002005-06-08T15:13:00.000-07:00Thanks for the heads-up!

(They're running it late at night, for some reason). Also bookmarked the Independent Lens site--I didn't even know about this series, uncultured clod that I am.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
