yeah, I realize that more and more the more I do this "series."

Just some of the guys we have had up representing the club in the big leagues have been embarrassing. Some guys are diamonds in the rough (Rick White, Bobby Seay, Jim Micer, Ty Wigginton.) But most of the guys have been players who were at the end of the road,glorified AAA players, or guys who brought up WAY too soon.

In the name of Shinji Mori, we shall win!

Got to love Chuck Lamar

taking a lot of the credit last year at the WS, i’d like to see him own the Drays from (what was it ’95 when he took over) and not just the top 5 recently non-bust picks.
