SoSG Baseball, Day 5 Update!

Steve pointed out a scoring glitch on the add-like-mad game where the final screen shows cumulative score of all games played instead of just the score from the most recent game played. So Tony, Bryan, Julie, and Steve [insert New Edition lyric joke here], for today we're instead going back to the whack-a-mole game instead. And the deadline is extended to midnight saturday night. I'll send you each an email. Thanks again for the heads up Steve.

Colletti Tells Tabloids That Scott Won't Return His Calls In Person

I've heard of a lot of negotiating strategies, but I was a little surprised to hear Ned Colletti use the "spurned girlfriend" strategy when discussing how he hasn't been able to reach Scott Boras, Manny Ramirez' agent, about Manny returning to the Dodgers for 2009:

Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti said Wednesday his communication with agent Scott Boras this off-season has been limited to two voice messages, meaning they might not meet in person to discuss the future of free-agent outfielder Manny Ramirez until the general managers' meetings that start Monday in Dana Point.

Colletti said he hoped to talk to Boras soon and that re-signing Ramirez would be one of the Dodgers' top three priorities this winter, along with bolstering the infield and rotation.

Yikes. For the sake of Dodger fans everywhere, hoping to see us win games in 2009 in which we give up two runs or more, let's just hope this case of voicemail tag doesn't get out of hand:

Or maybe Ned should just heed the advice of these fine young gentlemen, and take his complaints to the phone company powers that be?
