but now he’s talking about going away for the weekend with the guys to go fishing or camping or some outdoor thing, plus he travels all the time for work so it’s gets annoying, this has been going on for 3 months now…

If we trade for a decent bat in the middle of the lineup...

….and sign some undervalued veterans, this offense should pick up in no time!

There is no "i" in Teamocil. At least not where you'd think.

I'm very excited about our future pitching staff

Average hitting could win the division.

I like that picture.

I never saw the show at all, though I was watching something on WB at the time, so I sometimes saw promos.

I missed Mazarro's performance....how did he do?

I only saw the highlight of the homer (that was definately not good).

His first three innings were really good. He struck out six batters while allowing just a single hit. After that, though, it was all downhill.
