Okay, I have to ask.
Are you using CXZ? Because if you are having problems replying to the last thread in the string, and I’m assuming that’s the problem, you can hit R while the comment is highlighted to reply. That is, if you can’t see the REPLY on the bottom.

Well, seeing it play out
a matchup of Price-Drew with the bases loaded is an awful lot of pressure for a rookie with barely any experience. I’d have to say Maddon loses the chess match here, though Price has a great arm and could certainly get Drew. I’d sooner have seen Howell face Youkilis and Drew and then bring in Bradford.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
