Regardless I’ll be watching the game on TV and listening to Rick Sutcliffe on XM radio instead of that moron Stockton.

Here, BUT....
But I may lurk in silence, as everything was fine last night (up 2-0) until I came on here, and then Demps implodes with the granny to Loney. Not feeling very presonally confident with the karma right now.
Think I’m gonna take one for the team, and stay away tonight.

Fontenot may be the least likely looking home run hitter. He packs a big punch with his 5-foot-8 physique. Where's the power come from?

Say what you want about Dome
he can at least do the little things correctly majority of the time. Also, a lefty gives a better shot at moving a runner to third, and majority of his ground balls are hit to the right side.

“stay positive. Lot of game left.” Has anything that this offense has shown the last 4 playoff games that would make anyone think they even have a remote chance at winning this game?
