Oh. Sorry.

But yeah. College definately look at the ACT. I find it easier than the SAT. It’s more science and math based. With an Actual science section. A Superb ACT score will offset any mediocre SAT score.

A nice opportunity to get colleges looking at you, especially if SAT isn’t your thing (like me).

All 3 outs were sharply at him.

He bobbled the first and 3rd. Got Ellsbury out on a bad call from the 1B umpire, and managed a force at 2nd because Ortiz was the runner.

This has been a quick game so far

If Dice-K was on the mound, we’d still be in the third inning.

Tallet must be done at 102. Right?

Of course Toronto’s bullpen isn’t like the Indians or the Yankees.

Scott Downs, B.J. Ryan, Jeremy Accardo still hanging around?

Accardo is in AAA atm. He’s been playing well, but has not yet been called up.

He lost his slider last year or the year before and was ineffective. It’s been getting better down in AAA. =)

Ones to really worry about

are Frasor and Downs. See my preview.

Because BJ Ryan was untouchable, much like Maddox and Glavine used to be

He was DOMINANT. It was so impressive to watch him back in the day, and it’s just sad to see him go so far downhill. He’s a nobody now. Just like Glavine and Maddox.. they kept trying and trying yet they were never as great as they were with the Braves

Kottaras made some great defensive plays

And I think he may call a better game than mon capitan. The only one of our pitchers who’s succeeding is Wake, and he’s the one only Kott catches. Lester also had one really good start with Kottaras behind the plate.
