He really needed a fresh start, new uniform, I can't imagine tossing a game ball toward the fans and having one fall and pass away, anyway any thoughts about he and or Albert clubbin it, wish T Hunter could've hung around one more season there so I'll be curious as to how it all plays out kinda Detroit vs. Anaheim and how far or not each team makes it. Making the yankee's appear to be much less of a threat. Hope the Weaver brothers stay away from Josh, remember the airplane incident with Jeff Weaver and Bobby Higginson etc. in the bathroom getting dialed up ? Stewardesses lol. Trout,Albert,Hamilton, with health that is a serious triple threat. After his Tampa time and nearly toasted out of baseball in more ways than 1, Josh H. is one very lucky millionaire.

I hope he has a good stint out there in L.A. I've always liked watching him play, when he does play. The thing to watch over the next few years will be how healthy he can be. That drug use had to of taken a serious toll on his body. Might get tickets to the LA vs Twins game just to watch that trio play.

How are those LA teams able to afford their payrolls? The Dodgers have more than $500 million in contracts already on something like 7 or 8 players, don't they? Unreal spending. Hopefully baseball gets on board sometime and adopts a salary cap to even the playing field a little bit.

If I remember right both LA teams sighed HUGE Local TV contracts recently. I think they may make more $ off of TV than the Yankees do now so there's plenty to spend on free agents. I hope Hamilton doesn't fall back on some old habits in LA. There are plenty of distractions out there.

Mercy. Yet we don't want people making a 1/4 mill a year or more to cough up some tax money even though they all make that huge salary off of us. Anyway, I guess that's the new way maybe, 2 mega horses, Cabrera/Fielder. Pujols/Hamilton even though the true new horses there may be Trumbo/Trout, American League style anyway, Mauer/Morneau, Bautista/Encarnacion. lol. Benson/Mastroanni. Parmalee/Carroll. lol

LAA are going to prove that you can't buy a world series win.

I'll be laughing when they don't even make the playoffs next year!

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
