I think you misread 7...
Otherwise, that looks about right..
I’m gonna guess Murphy, Byrd, Young with 8 for #7…
Oops

Upon further review
I’m really digging the belly shirt/short shorts being thrown down by Holly Madison.

Yeah, but there's that whole thing about banging Hef that I can't get over.

well, it's official
We’ve found the very first thing you can be reasonable about.
Holly Madison is rocking that outfit. Love the high socks too. The pic where she follows through is highly recommended.
Yep.
Kinda reminds me of a right handed CJ.

I have no idea who this holly madison person is
but it looks like she did a nice job throwing out the pitch

do a google images search
and you’ll get a very explicit view of who she is…
She's someone
who reminds us why Hugh Hefner has lived the Greatest Life ever.

That's who that is?
When I glanced at her picture on the morning post, I thought “meh – she’s OK but kinda goofy looking.” Wait, I still think that.
Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

Question #6.
There are three Rangers with at least 75 RBI’s.
You just don't sit in a rocking chair, when you've built a revolution.
maybe he meant "77"

5th inning against the Tigers
Most walks....A. Jones, sounds crazy, but true
He leads the team and has not played much at all since the break, this tells more about the inept rangers team as much as it does about Jones, he can walk, just can’t hit, the rangers team does not walk or hit (well other than homers)
Larry Parrish Was Da Man!
My Answers
1) Millwood, Padilla, Feldman, Hunter, Holland, Harrison, Benson, McCarthy, Nippert, Moscoso

3) Feliz, FX2, CJ, O’Day… I don’t really know the other two, just guessing…..maybe Grilli later on or Jennings earlier in the year.
4) Kinsler
5) Kinsler
6) Kinsler and Byrd, but I thought Cruz was in the mid 70s (on my fantasy team, ya know :P)
7) let’s eliminate – Borbon, Kinsler, Cruz, Andrus….eliminate 1B and C…pretty much left with Byrd, Murphy, Young
8) 5
9) 5
10) has to be Holland, Millwood or Feldman based on innings. Gotta go with Holland
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
#7 forgot about Hamilton but cmon
Murphy has 9 SBs
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
you should ask who has played in the most games
