Theriot does that at the worst times

And I LIKE the guy – but (and I shouldn’t be thinking ahead here, I know), if there’s a ‘come playoff time’? Him out there scares the HELL out of me.

Son Volt all the way

Seriously?

I was a huge Uncle Tupelo fan – and a huge Son Volt fan for the first few albums, but I lost interest after awhile. I kinda feel like Wilco won that battle hands down.

I loved Wilco's first three albums

but I haven’t liked the last few – too much experimental stuff. I loved the first two Son Volts, but I really hated the Jay Farrar solo record

Random question: Who would you rather have up in a clutch situation

Lee or Derosa?

I'm back....

My Internet took a dive in the bottom of the 2nd — I see that DeRo celebrated that fact by going yard. Z also?

I’m only half speed right now — PC, no Mac — but I can’t watch on TV because MLB’s geniuses somehow think I should be blacked out.

At least my Gameday Audio is up. Did I miss anything good?
