Me too, but I'd want that ring to wear on the middle finger to stick it to Cardinals and White Sox fans. I'd also buy "St. Louis Sucks" and "Sox Suck" T-shirts

It was me. I turned on the game in the bottom of the 8th, when they started the rally.

We need to hang around until Lee returns, but games like this are huge for the morale. It'd have been an even bigger lift if we did it against the Cardinals w/o Lee.

He just hit a 3-run HR

Not with the guys we have calling the shots

Well I think it's useful b/c teams have to stress middle-relief less, b/c they can keep their starters in the game since they don't have to pull them for a bat when they're behind, and it can help keep players fresh

Dusty needs to bat Aramis 3rd and Murton either 4th or 5th w/ Lee out. It's time to put into full-time duty. Enough is enough.

How about Julio Zuleta?

It's useful. You can keep pitchers in the game longer

He's fleeced us on 4 performances: HIs 20-K game in 1998, his 1-hitter in 2001, and games 1 and 5 vs. the Braves in 2003

Interesting comment, since Prior has never needed surgery. Wood, on the other hand.....I think he meant doctors, since they've seen a gazillion doctors

I'd do that in a heartbeat, though I don't know Johnson's contract situation, and where would he play come late-June? This is why the NL needs the DH ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

We have rotten luck, and a manager who abuses pitchers

Gee such creative nick names you have. Mariotti called Wood Kid Rx and always says to stick the next pin into the voodoo doll of Kid Rx or Prior I'm no Mariotti fan but I was sort of amused by his label for Prior & Wood: Blue Cross and Blue Shield. "Team MRI" is another good one. If you don't laugh you cry I guess. LOL. Mariotti also said Wood and Prior have put a gazillion surgoens kids thru college

Direct hostilities at Baker for still refusing to play the kids (Pie, Guzman, Hill) and instead opting for unproductive veterens (Niefi, Mabry, Rusch)
