Baseball Blog: Hasta La Livan
Too much techno war talk over the last few days and its overshadowing one of my favorite times of the year, the start of the baseball season. So I'm going to blog on baseball stuff for a little while, until I have to get back on the war again.

For the second time in the last six years, two brothers are team mates again on the Montreal Expos, Major League Baseball's backwater tide pool that doesn't even broadcast its games anymore. Late yesterday, I saw the news that Livan Hernandez was traded to the Expos which puts him back together with his brother, El Duque, Orlando Hernandez. It ought to be interesting to see how they perform together on the same time. Livan has the stuff to be a super star but seems more into the Carl's Jr. Super Stars. He's been coming into camp in mid winter form, over weight, slow and not ready to earn his pay. We'll see if being reunited with his brother inspires him to be a better athlete or baseball player.

I'm not all the upset to see him go but am way less pleased than I was when Mr. Bad Attitude, Jeff Kent, was parceled off and replaced with a speedster in Ray Durham. Honestly, the Giants are going to be a better team than they were last year. They've added speed, better defense, got rid of some cancerous elements and even got themselves one of the best managers in the game while getting rid of the most over rated manager in the game.
