Dear Len and Bob -

 

I've got a funny story for you. I was watching a Cubs game last year and my toaster caused an electrical fire. Even though my house was on fire, I stayed in the living room Jeromy Burnitz won the game with a single in the bottom of the 9th. There are third degree burns over 90 percent of my body now. Go Cubs!

If we lose this game, it's not because Baker isn't managing his butt off.
