I'll replace that picture with the usual stuff tomorrow afternoon.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure the game is on FSKC at 7:10 pm

2 minutes late dude. Problems at home?

1 minute late, the official time when game threads can be posted is 12:01 am. Oh, and I was distracted by Ned's greatness. I'm watching his press conference replay now

Late is late. And if you are 1 minute late, how the hell am I supposed to know when you will be here?!

:evil:

Let me be the first to say.....



**** BOSTON!!!! :rockon:

Last year Boston was mediocre and whooped our ass. Lets not repeat that.

They really suck right now. Terrible chemistry and very inconsistent pitching

Worst $175 million or whatever the hell team evah! Pretty amazing that with the payroll they have had they have flat out sucked for 3 out of the last 4 years. That fourth year though -- go figure how the hell that happened...

Shoulda kept Theo

KC -125 with a spot starter

Probably cheated

Well, Aaron Crow certainly won't be pitching to Daniel Nava with a three-run lead and the bases loaded... so that helps.

They also can't try to go lefty on lefty vs. David Ortiz with Tim Collins, which also helps...

Even with a make-shift rotation, the Royals should be able to handle this series pretty easily.
