Yeah, I heard about us picking up Nomar. "Gasparo" That's funny. My grandpa butchers complicated or foreign names too, and they all sound Italian when he's through with them, too. It's hilarious. He was talking about someone named Kozumi once, very obviously Japanese, and the name ended up "Cossini" or something. Grandpa, what?? :rolleyes: :p

I think Nomar will be great for us. We'll see what happens, I don't want to jinx anything, since I'm on a roll with that lately. :rolleyes: I read he was considering the Astros too... He's originally from L.A. though, so I think it took him long enough to come back and actually play for us!! So yeah, most everyone I know is excited about it so far. Makes next season that much more interesting!

Oh and yes, the Lakers were playing Houston. But it was a terrible, low-scoring game. We lost 76-74, so it was pretty pathetic on both sides.
