Now we know how Carrie Muskat

gets her articles written. They flow about as well as the one above.

Check that, the one is above is far superior.

Giving Carrie way too much credit.

Although, this must be how she finishes her thoughts. I imagine her drop downs being of the “(player name) said.”

I wish I could have controlled the playoffs last year like this.

Yes, the Soxies won.

I’m sure that will be big news in Bridgeport.

90%

of the teams in mlb would wish that they had the talent @ 2 or 3
that we have competing for #5.

i am thoroughly enjoying this little mini intra-squad wrestle-off and may the best man win!

and i thought heilman made quite the statement today with regard to his worthiness…

both games

I went to both games naturally, and I have to say, the cubs looked pretty lifeless. Soriano lacks any hustle, only Fontenot, Reed, and Therior actually busted a sweat. The rest of the backups are all less than 5 feet tall and our pitching looks highly suspect, and this was against mediocre White Sox hitters including (Dye hitting .123 and Konerko who tattooed a homer Wednesday night). I know it is only spring training so all I can say is, we’re going to the Series!!!!!
