as someone

from a rugby country….well, gridiron sucks really. It takes 4 hours to watch about 20 total minutes of action, its pretty boring unless you are accustomed to it I suppose.

Nah,

I’ll stick to rugby, 80 minutes, 10 halftime, its all over with in about 100 minutes with the stoppages. Besides its fun for Australia to play countries like NZ, South Africa and England. Its always good to beat on another country.

Gives up a HR to a lefty without much power. Then gives up a single to Cash. I’m so glad we didn’t trade for him.

And our bullpen is coming back to life, so I’m sort of glad he wasn’t in the deal.

Thing is, we don't have many holes

We need a young catcher, but Moss wouldn’t have gotten us that.
