He didn't do it, but he did get two more RBI.

Even if we lose tonight, the magic number is still reduced to 45. :D

They have a couple of legit options that could step up. Between TO, Whiten, and I think Felix Jones out of the flats to use his speed, the 2nd WR should not have a lot of pressure. I agree that they should have enough weapons to cover for it, but it's really the only weakness. The defensive line is good, the linebackers are solid, and the secondary should be much improved. The offensive line is one of the league's best, we have an excellent RB-tandem, the QB is great, and we have a great receiver in TO and a great TE in Witten. The only thing we could use is a better number two receiver. If the Falcons cut Horn, I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys take a look at him. I wouldn't expect much out of Horn at this point. It's looking like he is not going to beat out such superstars as Michael Jenkins and Laurent Robinson. I actually like Robinson a lot and think he could be a solid #2 reciever, but do not think that Joe Horn could be an improvement over whatever you have. I think Horn could be an improvement over Miles Austin and Sam Hurd. Austin has amazing speed, he just can't catch. Hurd is pretty pedestrian. Stanbeck could be good, but he's really, really raw right now as he's still learning the position. Horn would give us a veteran to take some attention away from TO. At least if it were thrown his way, he could catch it.

damnit

Please, Ronny, please.

I hate it when Kosuke strikes out looking like a damn ballerina.

Two very nice innings by Gaudin.

Diaz telling Quintero to get his ass in the box.

And the answer is no.

Can Edmonds homer off a lefty?

damn...I wanted that to stay fair.

probably.

Ok, Cubs. Let's get some runs.

I'm surprised you're still awake. :D

My guess is that Gaudin and Marshall will pitch in this one.

Cuban has talked about other NBA owners joining his bid. Could one of those be Coangelo(sp?)? He would probably help Cuban gain approval.

The only weakness this Cowboys team has is its need for another receiver. Jerry has gushed about Stanbeck's work in practice, but they really could use a better number two receiver. I'm hoping Steve Smith slaps another team mate, so maybe the Panthers will trade him to the Cowboys.

I don't think the players union would agree to expansion in Mexico City or San Juan. I may be wrong and they might be persuaded by the extra jobs, but I think they would prefer expansion to other locales.

Now the hitters are having to swing at that outside pitch and can't do anything with it. Pathetic.

b-b-but you can't walk across the plate!

Jesus Christ...why can't we hit this chump?
