Stan Castin' a Spell

I will have my full recap of Blogger Night on Monday (Short version: It was great.), but I wanted to put this up now. Here's Stan Kasten's introductory spiel with a little of his thoughts on bloggers and social media. (Note: That's me saying, "We try..." when he talks about how sarcasm doesn't translate to print.)



I would have shot more, but I actually decided to put down the iPad and just listen to what the man had to tell us.

I think it's safe to say Stan won us over with his open, honest demeanor and witty delivery. The Dodgers are in very capable hands.

Blogger Night Returns!

Blogger Night is back tonight at Dodger Stadium, and the Dodgers PR department has once again graciously invited the Sons of Steve Garvey. This year, thanks to the generosity of the Original Flavor Sons, SoSG Stubbs, Dusty, and I will be attending. (Originally, it was just going to be Stubbs and Dusty, but some last-minute begging and bribing scored me a ticket, too.)

If you've seen the Sons' coverage of past Blogger Nights (if not, go here, here, here, and here), you know what an amazing event this can be. This year's lineup includes Q&As with Ned Colletti and Stan Kasten, as well as other surprise guests.

"Ask me about my mustache."

"I will not be taking questions about whether I'm firing the man above me, so let me stop you right there."

I'm going to be honest here. I'm more than a little nervous about this. My schtick since joining the Sons has been "guy who throws out one-liners on Twitter," so I have no idea how I'll handle asking real questions to real members of the Dodger family. (Well, I do have a few questions in mind.) So, I turn to you, SoSG readers. What do YOU want us to ask Ned and Stan? Go nuts! Leave your questions in the comments. I'll pick a few of the best and try my hardest to get them in tonight. (If I don't completely seize up from geeking out too hard.)

HUGE thanks to the Dodgers for inviting us and to Sax and Orel for giving the noobs a chance. We won't let you down.
