Berkman's back. Well, sometime soon. Forget Bagwell, there's hope for the beleaugered offence.

Oh.

Serenity will do well in September. It simply rocks too hard not to do well. The trailer hardly touches on it. Trust me. SWep3 will be long forgotten. There's nothing out there compares to Joss's love child. I know, I just do.

Subjectively, yeah, but confidently all the same,

Yeah, I like that Willy Taveras kid, and Ensberg has been lighting it up pretty good. Berkman coming back into the lineup gets good pitches for the guys batting in front of and behind him...

But they lost too much offense in the off-season and Palmeiro and Vizcaino look like they're nearing the end. We need a couple of veteran run producers, not more kids from the minors. We've got a bad mix of talented youngsters enduring their first tour in the league, and a handful of guys who're in their last campaigns. We need something in the middle, some mid-twenties to early-thirties guys who've been in the bigs for 6 or 7 years.

Half the team drinks soda pop and chews bubble gum, and the other half drinks Geritol and chews Vicodin.

People won't forget Star Wars too quickly. But I think they'll be up for Big Damn Heroes, for a change, instead of the bad guys winning. And I think the movie-going public will be ready for a story. And some dialogue. Oh, and characters they can relate to.

I believe male theatre-goers will prefer our quartet of lasses to Ms. Portman (Mmmm-Morena!), and I think females will find more variety in Serenity's male cast to fantasize about than Ewan or 'Darth' provide. Something for everybody, in an ensemble cast that meshes well together and with the writer/director's vision.

Gotta give Joss his props: He's always had an eye for physically attractive acting talent. (NB: Christina Hendricks in the sequel, Shadow, if you please, Mr. Whedon.)

Respectfully,
