I believe he's against the designated hitter...

…but favors instant replay for home run calls.

Oh, you mean opinions about Soriano. I have none.

i'm already stock-piling.

tums, tequilla and Old Style should suffice

Just the drinking the stockpile

If I mix drinks I get into such a state that I dont dare do it.

by Stan Cox on Aug 21, 2008 1:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

i just got from mexico

so i’ve got some extra tequilla that needs drank. so i figure october (knock on wood) would be a good time for it.

Do you drink the tequila to kill the taste

of the Styles or vice versa??? LOL

well, the tequilla is more of a pre-game thing

“liquor before beer, never fear.” or for when things get bad. Old Style is for during the game.

maybe if they shake 'em

when the reds are up, it will be so bright and distracting they’ll get totally thrown off

Arm slot is still off, leadoff walk

You've gotta wonder if he's thinking about the arm slot too much...

Got here just in time to see Z walk the leadoff man. Got here last night just in time to see the SF.

Is it me? Should I leave?
