I am feeling
a low scoring game, maybe even a Demp shutout of the Phils? That would be beyond awesome, but difficult seeing as the Phils hit the crap out of the ball.

Still think that?
Why not get the lead runner..
"Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." - Jacque Barzun
yes
if aramis doesn’t make the tag or the throw is late, it’s 1st and 3rd with 1 out. definitely the right play, imho

"Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." - Jacque Barzun
I'm getting that, too.
But attributing it to Firefox 3. I don’t think it gets along with the board software all that well. An F5 refresh clears things up momentarily, tho.
Thanks Clutch...
Worked like a charm!
