I continue to tell him, I say, ‘If it was the hair, I would have snuck into your apartment when you were in Boston and shaved your head.’ I said, ’It’s your ability.

Former Cub news...
Jamie Moyer outduels Gregg Maddux as the Phils beat the Pads, 1-0. Both go 7 innings with Burrell homering off Maddux. E-Pat goes 1-3 with a stolen base in the A’s win over the sux. Meanwhile, brother C-Pat (hitting a robust .196) gets an RBI and a SB in a losing effort against the turdbirds.
