I can't believe you have to ask that question !! :shock: I'm going to try to do both. I have a large stack of research papers that I've been putting off grading all week. Priorities, man...... Priorities !!!

I can't believe you have to ask that question !! :shock:

I beat you to these (by a few days) :D So...... how did you miss the rest of 'em, eh? :wink:

Yeah, me and Orvie went to different schools together. Ya know, he held the team strikeout record until that Fergie Jenkins guy showed up in the 60's. Some others from my boyhood days....... Ted Tappe (Walt) "Moose" Moryn Vito Valentinetti Dick Drott Tony Taylor Gabe Gabler Moe Morhardt Bob Buhl Paul Popovich Sterling Slaughter Jake Jaeckel Byron Browne Robin Roberts Dave Dowling Robert Raudman Roberto Rodriguez Chris Cannizzaro Frank Fernandez Bill Bonham .... just to name a few.

RHIP, no?

Seeing as the temps are getting into the mid-90s during the day in Phoenix already, it's probably a good idea. I left Los Angeles on Sunday headed for Texas. Very glad to find out that the A/C in my new truck works just fine. I needed it, and I now have a bad cold to show for it. But now, I'm stuck in Omaha.... and the temp is in the low 30's. When is it gonna be spring ???

Is this game really scheduled for 3:05 CT ???

Yeah, and Neifi hit .371/.400/.548 in 62 ABs for us in 2004. Isn't he considered the worst hitter in the majors now? ...... and speaking of non sequetors.........

BeerHere.... you split yesterday before I had a chance to ask..... did you do yer Johnny Paycheck impersonation at work ???

:?: Novoa was solid towards the end of '06. Yes, he was.

Lee, Ramirez & Jones each went 3 for 4 while Soriano, Murton & Barrett each went 2 for 4........... that's 15 for 24 combined by your first six batters. Go CUBS !!

Who made the throw! Buck Coats Buck Coats "bucked" that to home plate! I think the relay was to Cedeno, but I'm not sure.
