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.
