TGIF!!

Ah, back to blue!! Welcome back to the Drill!! Today is a special Random Rant edition. You know the rules. I'll just throw out the first things that come to mind and attempt to wow you all with my wit. At least in theory thats how it works. NE Who...

-Some people are still shocked that Robert Blake got off free. The fact of the matter is, the evidence was weak. And in order for someone to goto jail you have to prove without a shadow of a doubt. No hard evidence, no hard time.

-But then what about OJ? Well, he just had a really good lawyer. Cmon you gotta give Johnny Cochran props. Like him or hate him. He had a MOUNTAIN of forensic evidence against OJ and he was actin like "Why we even havin a trial?"

-If I ever (God forbid) goto court, I want him representing me. Simple as that...hehehehe..j/k

-Lakers got KILLED by the Heat Thursday.like 10000-78 or something like that....j/k..might as well. They are just hard to watch right now. No one else but Kobe stepped up in this game. Once the Heat saw that the other Lakers werent playing well, the just collapsed on Kobe and DARED the other players to stop them. Unless these guys pull it together, its all over.

-In what was at times a very emotinal scene, former and current Major League Baseball players and executives testified in front of congress on the issue of Steroid Abuse in baseball. They all denied using steroids, but they also refused to name names and say anything negative about their teammates. This is probably just the begining of a LLOOONGGG process as Congress will not be satisfied til they get to the bottom of all this alleged abuse.

-Jeff Weaver will start the Dodgers home opener April 12th. As far as Opening Day 2005 on April 5th, Derek Lowe will get the call then. I cant wait to hear Vin Scully utter those famous words "Iiiiitttt'sss Time for Dodgers Basball!! Less than 20 days to go!!

-I know I've said this before, but I am really going to miss Jose Lima playing for the Dodgers. The energy he brought to the club was awesome. And just hearing Vin Scully say "Lima Time" was worth it. I think he liked saying it too. Because whenever Lima was to pitch he would always say something along the lines of "Tommorrow night, it will be Lima Time for the Dodgers..." or right before Game 4 fo the Division Series which Lima started: "...For the Dodgers, well, they are hoping that Lima Time will be just in time for them..." Gotta love it...or maybe its just me..ne way...

-March Madness has begun (AKA the NCAA Tournament) No picks here sorry. I dont follow it enough to bet money on it. I would literally be just giving it away. "Here, take my $50! I dont want it!" hehehe

-Wrestlemania 21 is in 17 days...just in case you forgot. ;-)

-Buzz Lightyear @ Disneyland is NOW OPEN.

***UPDATED 1:10 PM***

Just thought I would share with you some pictures from Buzz Lightyears grand opening yesterday @ Disneyland

The scene in front of the castle

A close up of the Army Men. Can you tell that green was the theme?

This mini parade would wind its way to the ride itself. These lucky children were seleced from the local schools to participate in the ceremony. (All photos courtesy of laughingplace)

-Coming soon to Disney's California Adventure: A Monsters Inc ride. And in a few years, a ride based on the Incredibles. Why all the Pixar inspired rides all of a sudden? Thats anyones guess right now...

OK, that will do it for this week. Hope you all survived it well. Have an awesome weekend and hopefully I'll be back Sunday night with the Weekend Wrap-Up! Til then...
