Hola. I won't be on that much...

UF vs. UM has higher priority. GO GATORS!!!

Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you./Education is the best defense against the media./The Lord's Prayer=66 words, the Gettysburg Address=286words, the Declaration of Independence=1,322 words, government regulations on the sale of cabbage=26,911 words

Good news for the Sox
J.D. Drew thinks he might be back in time to play the Devil Rays, Kevin Youkilis’s back is feeling good enough to play while everything is fine at home, and David Aardsma will pitch in a Single A Lowell Spinners playoff game either Monday or Tuesday.

Always good news.

Any news on Who-lio? I can break away from the UF game to do a personal visit to his house, if needed.

Good evening

Let’s hope we’re 2 back in the loss after tonight and the MFY are in 4th place.

Do you think the O's still have some time

Because if the MFY lose yet again at M’s, they deserve being the last team in the division…

That's amazing

I’m not a big RBI fan (but I don’t hate it in a FJM sort of way), but that’s a huge improvement over what Lugo was giving us on offense.

I've got about 200 pages to read tonight

& another 100 or so to read tomorrow. Sometimes I play a game & see if I can finish before the game ends. It works when Dice K pitches.

I hope this is a high scoring game to keep me motivated.

You mean you hope the Sox give Wake lots of run-support—right?

If only Drugs, if only

I was super excited to see that Tampa lost. When they tied the score , I assumed it was another one of their fantastic finishes.

Lowell is SPEEDY

Got, why’s he so slow? He’s not fat, he’s not that old… He should be THIS slow…

Compared to Casey.

Hard to believe Wake started this game by retiring the first 5 batters he faced.

Wakefield is either

great or terrible – rarely in between. Tonight, he’s terrible. At least Tampa Bay lost.

The Sox have to hold Texas at 7 runs

And chp away at the lead. The Rangers can’t pitch.

Remember the last time Texas faced a knuckleballer? Mr. Ratzink sent us on the 19-17 or something like that ride?

Well, if the White Sox and Yankees

also lose, like the Twins and Rays did…….then I won’t be too bad losing tonight. …..call it a “wash” – everyone loses.

However, several point out here, we aren’t dead yet tonight.
