I'm kind of surprised

at how Texas has bounced back from it’s shellacking on Saturday.

My Predictions for today

Tex closes out TB, St Louis puts Philly on the Brink, AJ gets shelled and Yankees are done, and DBacks ride the home crowd

Professional Lurker... if you see this, there may be a problem..

Interesting

and entirely plausible.

I don't think

that the Yankees will survive behind Burnett. I agree, the Hankies are finished. And possibly the Rays, but I havent’ seen the score yet

Too bad the catcher couldn't hang on

That was a beautiful relay.

This is not going to be pretty. We're talking violence, strong language, adult content...

They really don't

How on earth

Were they convinced to build a new stadium in Miami?

Well

Drug runners needed a cover to bury some snitches, and as long as they were already laying down that much concrete…

wow, you were only three.

do you remember much of the ’01 series? I doubt it, but it was quite the exciting time here. And Randy Johnson was unbelievable. I expected him to strike out the side every inning.
