Is Tony Jackson reading my blog?

I'm sure he's not...

But Tony Jackson of ESPN LA did ask Dodgers GM Ned Colletti about the report that was published in Venezuela.

From Jackson:

Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario, who still hasn't reported to spring training because of visa problems in his native Venezuela, missed three appointments at the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, a Venezuelan newspaper reported Thursday. The purpose of those appointments was to help clear up the problems and expedite Belisario's travel to the U.S.

Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said he has been given no indication of when Belisario might show up or why he has missed the appointments.

"You would think that when you have the opportunity to make a living throwing a baseball, and the opportunity presents itself to pitch in the big leagues, support your family and build a career, that would be something you would pursue to the fullest,'' Colletti said.

Belisario posted a 2.04 ERA in 69 appearances as a rookie last season and would have been a lock for a bullpen spot if he had arrived on time, or anywhere close to on time.

Colletti reiterated his stance that the Dodgers are moving on without Belisario for now.

"I can't worry about things that I have zero control over or people I have zero control over,'' Colletti said. "If he shows, he shows. If he doesn't, he doesn't.''

Is Colletti mad or what?

I'm hoping Belisario can get his act together and receive his visa to report to camp. Belisario was awesome last season.

Thanks Tony for the update.
