The ballpark that time forgot
Also known as Fort Lauderdale Stadium. This place is so old and decrepit that the Orioles are moving TO Vero Beach. I'm sitting in one of those old, crow's nest style press boxes, and I'm typing this while using DIAL-UP INTERNET. I was trying to remember the last time I used dial-up, and then it occurred to me that it was the last time the Dodgers played here last spring. ... Not much in the way of news so far today. I spent the morning driving down I-95 because I was too cheap to take the turnpike, but the drive wasn't too bad. Lot of orange cones through West Palm Beach though. The boys are coming out to stretch now, so I'm going to head down for the daily Torre meeting.

Tony Jackson has covered the Dodgers for the Daily News since 2004 and has covered Major League Baseball on a regular basis since 1995. He previously covered the Colorado Rockies and Cincinnati Reds. He is a native of Springdale, Ark., and a graduate of the University of Arkansas.

I live in Alaska. My in-laws have been trying for the last few years to get anything past dial-up. The cable company just doesn't offer it where they live. They don't have cable TV either. It's just soooo weird.
