I'd like to see Fatso and Broxton get in a fight
not this Parra sparring. That would be a battle worth seeing. Broxton is a big boy.

According to fangraphs.com
the Fish were 83.3% sure to win, til Ward’s dinger…than it dropped to 81.4% in our favor

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.
