You have any BBQ recommendations for LA? I’ve tried a few places but nothing was all that spectacular. I enjoyed BBQ King that was on Figueroa and Sunset but I think they put condos up there. I think they have a new location though, so maybe I’ll check it tomorrow night. I always end up at Spring Street Smokehouse when I have to take the train, but it’s not outstanding.

And on the topic of BBQ in Austin, I’ve also heard good things about Salt Lick from friends who attended UT, though they were there like 10 years ago.

@royce!: ah, man, that’s too bad, that sounds like fun… Oh, well, next time.

Here’s a sample of his work:

The art show focuses on a Garfield-like character named Garfeld. Again, I am totally serious about all of this.

safe trip .

don’t forget to tell him that there’s a bunch of us campaigning
for a blog-talk show this off-season .

so , when are you going to visit Rudy in Austin ?

get him to take you to the ‘Salt Lick’ in Driftwood … just outside of town .
order the brisket .

that’s an open pit …. one of the last in the country .
red oak … tempered with pecan shells .

with five months left to go , there’s plenty of time to vacillate .

screw that .

i’ve been looking at my king felix for his bautista trade in my
6 man keeper …. six ways to sunday .
just can’t do it .

even though my team suffered in the power numbers last year ,
felix is only 25 years old .
coupled with kershaw , i’ve got a one-two punch that’s going to rack up
400+ K’s , a good era , and a decent whip for many years to come .

a-gon , cano , hamilton , andrus
kershaw & felix .

who knows ? maybe this year’s draft will provide a better option
at third base than ryan roberts .

@Bazzrall: Can go with him over a Espinosa if you like… Guess it depends on how many catchers are being kept by others.

@chata: Ain’t that always how it goes?

he hit .700 against me in h2h .

they hire only the best (?) umps for these play-offs .
mlb ought to mandate that they use the best announcers .

here’s looking at you ===> gracie .

hamilton with the feet-first slide into home plate … in the 11th .

none of the announcers pick up on it .

Dan Haren, James Shields, Daniel Hudson, Julio Teheran, Neftali Feliz, Jeremy Hellickson, Cliff Lee, Doug Fister, Shelby Miller

@VinWins: Ha

your pre-season teams are both in trouble .
better do the reverse voodoo dance , or we’re gonna see
texas vs st loo in the series .
