just better than Blanton both this year and last year .. look at the stats. . .(I didnt even know he threw a 10K game)

With our luck,

Blanton is going to trip over Scott's contact and break something.

That's going to be the only

Blanton should start looking for that contact

So he can find the zone.

not really.. he's not consistent enough to get the

marginal calls... and he's a rookie so the chances are slim to none that we would get them

i hate hearing the word "bobbled"

on the radio broadcast.

it makes me think that it's yet another error and another out given away.

That'll happen around the same day they smack a bases-empty grand slam.

Can I put my order in early

Has anyone seen the

Rich Harden bobblehead commercial on FSN?
