SeaWorld going public. Don't bite.
I had to look this up to be sure, but my recollections were correct. SeaWorld was privately held rom the time SeaWorld in SD first opened in 1964 until they took it public in 1968. It was opened by 4 UCLA frat brothers. (By coincidence, one of the 4, George Millay, was one of the owners of the company that started the 94th Aero Squadron chain, which happens to be mentioned elsewhere in the Reader). Personally, I boycotted SeaWorld while it was owned by HJB. They bought Marineland in 1987 and promised to keep it open. Instead, they closed it about a month after the sale closed and moved the orcas to San Diego.— April 15, 2013 12:53 p.m.

SeaWorld going public. Don't bite.
"it was called Cleveland Sea World. It was called SeaWorld Ohio, and was roughly halfway between Cleveland and Akron.'' Déjà vu. I could swear that I've read that somewhere before. Oh yeah, I have. When I wrote it in my previous comment. LOL— April 15, 2013 12:14 p.m.
SeaWorld going public. Don't bite.
It wasn't Cleveland SeaWorld. It was SeaWorld Ohio. My wife and I went to it probably 25 yrs ago at least, on our first visit to Cleveland. It was in Aurora, which is kind of half way between Akron, which we also visited(well Fairlawn, actually). There is still a water park there, but I don't know how much of the old SeaWorld property is still intact. it's called Water Kingdom or something like that. I still have distant relatives in the area. A few of them worked at SeaWorld Ohio back in the day.— April 15, 2013 10 a.m.

Carlos Quentin vs. Zack Greinke: The real reason for the brawl
I don't think I implied that Quentin is a serial charger. In fact, I didn't mention it at all. And as I said I have no problem at all with what he did, right up until he went to the mound. "If Greinke simply looks at his third baseman, or first baseman, or whatever after plunking Quentin, then we're not even having this discussion" True, but if Quentin is smart enough to think about the consequences for the team, it doesn't happen then either. Like I said, it's just my opinion, but I don't care who it is and who they play for, charging the mound is just plain stupid. This probably mirrors my opinion the closest: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130412&… Maybe it's just me. I grew up watching Drysdale and Gibson. They wanted the inside of the plate. But their intent was psychological. Said Gibson: "They think when you throw inside, you are trying to intimidate somebody, you are trying to knock them down, you are trying to hit them. It's none of the above. You pitch inside to make them think inside." BTW gringo, there are a lot of "ass - holes of the largest degree", not only in sports, but in the world in general. Ever talk to Reggie Jackson? I have. Personally, I've always found that ignoring them pretty much seems to work just fine.— April 12, 2013 5:10 p.m.
San Diego firms Apricus, Innovus tackle male and female sex problems
"I believe in science in most matters, but sometimes magic works best." Apparently, sometimes a woman's "dysfunction" has nothing to do with the woman at all. Maybe a set of new batteries could also be a consideration. It's not just diamonds that are a girls best friend. Or at least so I've read.— April 12, 2013 9:23 a.m.
Carlos Quentin vs. Zack Greinke: The real reason for the brawl
Not that it really matters, but I have read several reports that say Quentin has also been hit 3 times by Erik Bedard and Jon Lester, 4 times by Nick Blackburn and twice by 18 other pitchers. There are only two likely reasons why Quentin has led the majors in HBP since 2008, either he has pissed off a lot of pitchers because of how much damage he has done or he isn't in all that big a hurry to get out of the way. Last nite Greinke runs a fastball up and in, one that anyone could have gotten out of the way from, and Quentin lets it hit him. Got no problem with that. It gets a man on late in a 1 run game. But charging the mound was just plain stupid. Period. It doesn't matter what happens or if anything happens. Once he did that, he's gonna sit a couple of games no matter what. A pretty dumb thing to do when you're already missing your best player and the club is near the bottom in almost every offensive category and the pitching ain't much better. My guess is that Quentin misses 5-10 games. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— April 12, 2013 9:15 a.m.
