By the way

I'm going to see the Wagon pitch on Sunday. So, nanny-nanny boo-boo!

But he's pitching tomorrow, so no need for me to go Sunday...

Now that I think about it

A rain out could screw that up for me. Hopefully they just push Harang back a day. I'll be disappointed if I go from seeing Volquez to seeing Fogg.

Could this interview BE anymore boring?

George is terrible. His questions are essentially naming a player and then staring until Davey knows that he's supposed to actual say something.

"Here's another name. Johnny Bench." - Good question, George.

do they know over there at the other RR...that RR has declared the Royals our AL sister team?

by Man Mountain on Apr 4, 2008 8:29 PM EDT to parent up   1 recs

So...

...do they consider the Reds their sister team, or is a one-way adoption?

One-way adoption

I had heard about that

Im sure it will be crazy and not appropriate for kids. Sendak is awesome though. Hes one of my favorties. Also DiTerlizzi who writes the Spiderwick books is an awesome illustrator
