Rowand will get himself a rbi here.

That was good pitch to hit behing the runner with.

How's that crow taste?

Paulie had a good swing on the first strike. But that was a nice piece of hitting on the double.

Yes! PK!!!!

OK. We got something going here. let's put some hurt on this guy.

Nice rip for the Big Hurt.

Hi gang. Fairly uneventful 1st inning. I noticed Mark fell behind the first two hitters but handled that Sweeney guy pretty well.

We are all God Bless.

She should get some jail time, 30 days or so, just to dissuade potential copy cats. Then she needs some substantial and verifiable psychiatric help.

I don't think McDowell's an idiot. I think he just screwed up here.

You underestimate the Cardinal fan base in central and southern Illinois. The state line is not just south of Kankakee.
