I assumed this was a fictional establishment. Fast Forward to 2006: I move to San Diego and drive up to Long Beach for a job interview. I get off the freeway and -shock- there's a Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. I almost wrecked the car doing a doubletake. Turns out its a franchise and there are several of these around the country. 2008: I'm working in LB and go out to lunch at Roscoe's and order the - chicken and waffles. Is there a Roscoe's in Cincy yet? I'm not sure what Ron was asking but I find the topic of waffles & chicken amusing.

Wouldn't shock me. Yes. I forgot about him. or rather, about the fact that he's played some outfield in the majors. I think of him as mainly a second baseman. >Weird thing about Dorn.

Yup. It's kind of a shame. If he hadn't gotten off to such a slow start last year, he might have ended up in the majors in July/August when they had that string of injuries. >If I was running the team...Dorn would get a pretty long look-see in >left field during spring training.

Probably just what will happen. >As I mentioned elsewhere. I don't think the opening day left fielder is >in the organization right now. That might depend on who the opposing pitcher is on Opening Day. If they platoon in LF again, Dickerson will get the call if the opposing pitcher is right-handed. If the reds face a southpaw on Opening Day...well, choose your favorite right-handed hitter from among the possibilities we've listed here, plus just about anybody that's still on the baseball scrap heap or has a realistic shot at being obtained in a trade.

A recent trip by Barry Bonds to Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles did not end happily for Bonds.

I had to google this. Apparantly Barry showed up at a Roscoe's in Hollywood while the Dodgers were having thier caravan stop there. http://www.vinscullyismyhomeboy.com/2010/02/dodgers-caravan-roscoes-chicken-waffles.html and so Rons comment referred to luring Bonds to Cinci to play LF. If Bonds would take a deal of minimum salary + incentives based on playing time and attendance figures, i'd be willing to talk.

I was at GAB the last time Bonds came through town. Don't think I've ever heard a player booed quite like that. I know it's just laundrey, but I can't imagine him playing for the local 9. dfs |
