He's on PEZ. True story.

"You rarely see Ryan Theriot see a called third strike... Number one because its NOT A STRIKE!..." - Bob Brenly.

That's Reed. He was switched in to RF for Kosuke in the 7th.\ I'm still not quite used to seeing Edmonds doing the outfield jump. Used to it now?

Who's a big market columnist that doesn't suck? I like Peter Gammons.

So interleague play = christmas?

Ernie Banks wanted to buy the team at one time. Similar situation.

Adios Rudy.

Spain really needs to grab some bench. Where's Hawk when you need him?

Terrible officiating so far.
