    Yep. It doesn't have the boring slowing down of a game with one team hacking another to give them FT's.

    Love baseball, nail biting finishes....like last night with the bases loaded.

    Shoot, every game from now on is "interesting." Whether it be for the division, wild card, whatever. Playoff baseball starts early for us this year.

    Earlier than last year? Really?

    We were probably (havent looked it up) up 7 or 8 games and in command of the division at this point last year.

    Let's see how many batters step out of the box tonight, re-adjust their batting gloves for no apparent reason whatsoever, and then step back in.

    If he plays the way he has, he can adjust his gloves as many times as he wants

    With 9.53 Chi Chi pitching for the Rangers tonight, Minny could get one tonight.

    Astros had a bad road trip and went into the All Star game in 2nd place last year.

    You may be wondering why the can of corn was always on the top shelf and had to be knocked down, "Grocery store regulation 11.7C stated that all vegetables are to be stocked A to Z from top to bottom on shelves." And that is why corn was always placed on the top shelf.
