Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."

Don’t we already have that guy?

Wow
take 4 days off of baseball, and suddenly everything feels really slow.
Who knew.

Still in Fargo
Not using that ticket I bought. Couldn’t even give it away – no one else has a key to my place to retrieve it.

I am watching the game
I feel unclean rooting for the Mets but I have no choice. Church almost hit a grannie and Tatis got caught in a run down ending the inning but two runs is good

Just root for them to win 21-20 in 16 innings.
Followed by a meteor strike
by chitownhawkeye on Jun 22, 2009 6:31 PM CDT up reply actions
Ok but can I wait till Thursday night
It is four game series and lets make sure that Meteor strike is limited to Citi Field . I don’t want anyone in Queens let alone Manhattan hurt. FYI 3 up 3 down for Cardinals in the 2nd inning.

as long as a chunk of it splinters off and hits Yankee Stadium at the same time
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Queens to the Bronx would take some doing
How bout they get their own meteor up there ?

Gotta say, if anyone is considering buying MLB.com TV. Don't bother.
Technical problems up the wazoo on a daily basis. Repeated blackout messages. You can’t ever speak with anyone other than a front line technical operator to resolve issues. They promise that someone will contact you BUT THEY NEVER DO. I’ll NEVER get it again after my subscription runs out. I only pray that they contact me to ask why not…

EVENG, CUBS FANS!
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
Gd Eveng, Drw!
