Ärende: Almost Baseball Scores
==============================
Hi Dave,

 RH> And with all the colleges/universities around this area, the local
 RH> sports get big time attention--like Duke's come from 20 points behind
 RH> in the 2nd half to beat NC State Wed. night in basketball.

 DD> Above you state "TV local sportscasters" and then carp about them
 DD> reporting on local sports. That was the whole point of my reply. For

To the exclusion of even scores from other teams, as in GA we only got
Braves scores for MLB, not even a crawler with other teams. Some places
we've lived gave all MLB scores.

 DD> national - or even "out of town" sports there is ESPN, etc.

Don't have cable, not going to get it here.

 DD> subscribe/listen/watch if someone they know or are related to is
 DD> mentioned. That's why small town newspapers are rife with social
 DD> pages, local gossip columns, who visited whom, high school (and even
 DD> grade school) sports, etc. And little stuff on national importance.

 RH> My dad spent a good bit of his life, including my first 30 years,
 RH> working on a small town weekly newspaper; you're not telling me
 RH> anything new about them. (G)

 DD> I started in the news business writing a column for a local, weekly,
 DD> all-sports tabloid. That expanded to columns on racing, hunting and an
 DD> occasional outdoor cooking column under the name of Wally Turner. Then
 DD> I took a gig as the editor of a 5 paper group of small-town weeklies -
 DD> the inside pages were common articles, ads, etc. Local news, sports,
 DD> church news (big in rural Illinois) and gossip (big anywhere) went
 DD> onto a four page wrap around for the common insides.

Not quite a Pennysaver but close.


 RH> At the time it had no cooking column but now a local woman has one. I
 RH> see the paper from time to time when I visit my folks; its gone down
 RH> hill big time since Dad worked for it.

 DD> We always had a cooking column - either written by me, one of our
 DD> "correspondents" or clipped from Derus Media Service - and featuring
 DD> 'sponsored' products ... but, always pretty decent recipes.

 DD> And why your local "Sports Voice of (where you are)" spends so much
 DD> time on the Bradford Beavers or the Grantville Generals, etc.

 RH> Or the Duke Blue Devils, UNC-CH Tar Heels, NC State Wolf Pack or any of
 RH> the other big teams in the area. Those are the big 3 tho; we rarely
 RH> hear about other teams.

So now let's be good sports & get off the soap box rants.


 DD>       Title: Beaver Tail ala Denny
 DD>  Categories: Game, Wine, Chilies, Cheese
 DD>       Yield: 4 servings

 RH> Interesting; I didn't know beaver tails had enough meat to make them
 RH> edible.

 DD> I first ran across beaver tail when writing the Wally Turner column in
 DD> the Sports Spotlight. I've never experienced it directly. Although, if
 DD> it were on offer I'd give it a shot.

I might; I might not. Depends on what else is available that looks
interesting, especially if it's other wild game.

 DD>       Title: Chicken Brochettes
 DD>  Categories: Poultry, Herbs, Dairy, Bbq, Citrus
 DD>       Yield: 12 servings

Looks pretty good, thank you.
