Boy, would it be nice to take this series from Texas. Dan ~~Letterman~~ Straily takes on Alexi Ogando in the finale.

Some good news to start your afternoon on the right foot:

Obviously, Coco Crisp was reinstated from the DL, as he is leading off today. Welcome back, Coco! We've missed you. Seriously.
