Thanks for doing the play-by-play (or is that blow-by-body-blow :-)

[San Jacinto]

A blooper, a broken bat over an infielder's head, something.

It almost happened.

[handhfan]

I've got Matsui hitting a two run walk off homer. Uhhh, no.

[fhayek]

That 'cause Johnson had to pitch to Ruth, Ruth only had to face Johnson.

Sorry Bosox fans. The Bambino has just rode in on the back of The Billygoat.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[baseballfanjm]

If we had a two-year old for a manager we'd probably be ahead right now. But we have Grady Little.
