while i like the leadoff switch

why is blalock above cruz again? or was it my imagination that cruz was hitting 5th.

Doubt...

it was the “chat session”, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Still no Board Game though.

Naw, it's not the chat session

It’s the presence of Boggs in the lineup that gives RW another supposed “speed factor” to put up there.

My question is why the F do I have to watch Laird catch – AGAIN???

That would be awesome!

And believe it or not, it would be the first game in years where I didn’t have to take care of a kiddo. I always take my nephews to games and end up in line for snacks or taking them to the bathroom and miss like 7 innings, lol. Should be fun to have adult company – or at least children in adults’ bodies, haha.

When spring training starts, how about I start a thread to feel people out and see who has interest? Or is that too early?

So I don’t think that’s too early.

Getting TO Texas is never a big deal for me. It’s getting around once I get there that tends to be a pain in the butt. I either have to rent a car (tough because I have no credit card and the places I can afford won’t take debit) or beg a friend to drive me around. It’s rather annoying.

Yep, we’ve done right around twenty games this year. We went last night and we’re going Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday.
