What happend the top of the 4th

According to yahoo there were 4 outs

- A. Gonzalez singled to right
- K. Kouzmanoff grounded out to third, A. Gonzalez out at second
- K. Greene struck out looking
- S. Hairston struck out swinging

I think this blog uses wiki-like formatting...

So if you start lines with certain characters you get weird behavior

For example
  1. lines beginning with pound signs turn into ordered lists
  2. I’m sure those infamous grey boxes are related to this as well, but I’ve never figured out how to get them.

can someone answer this for me

I know that when they started playing night games that they are only allowed a certain amount but does it state when they have to be played?

We have always heard how the players wear out in the heat of the summer, so why have night games in april and may when its 40 outside and not have more in july and august when its hotter?

Is it an agreement with the neighborhood or the city?

They can't play night games on Friday or Saturday.

Also... summer weekday attendance is always good in afternoons

Because kids are out from school, and families are vacationing, and people take days off of work to enjoy summer.

Hence, weekday evening games in the non-summer months will draw better than say a Tuesday afternoon in April.

I’m upset you even know about Braun. But in his case his offense is worth his bad defense. Not the case with Cub SS. And if you think ONEDEC will play out of his mind all year then forget it.

I like the mosaic...

The premium is $119 per year. It’s a decent picture, gets better every year. It has its issues at times but overalll, I’m pleased with it.

Hey, it's a new century!
