Anyone else think taking three of four from the Reds was a necessity with this trip through San Diego and LA looming? The sun is struggling to break through here, so not exactly a postcard morning in SoCal. Never have to worry about it raining anyway.
Shifting gears for a second, ever want to know what Carlos Beltran eats for breakfast? Or what Fernando Martinez is doing at Double-A Binghamton? Or who is on Omar Minaya's speed dial as the trade deadline nears? There's one way to find out: Ask Anthony.
Newsday's own Answer Man -- baseball writer Anthony Rieber -- will try and solve whatever conundrum has been vexing you lately. As long as you ask politely and write in complete sentences. It's easy. Just click on here for baseball enlightenment.
