Should nuke the other one to get the bad mojo out of here.

I liked the old thread better.

Good lord, so I have to root for both NY and Boston all weekend? That makes me sick

have we nuked dusty craphopper yet? he shouldn't even be in rookie ball...........

That's almost as bad as rooting for the Raiders and Broncos. :Lin:

yeah, actually. He probably passed Cheslor Cuthbert on the road while driving back to Omaha.

Dusty may have been driving, but GMDM should have personally went to Omaha for Cuthbert in the Royals private jet.

Personally, I would have made Dusty run to Omaha without stopping.

Did Cuthbert go Machine Gun Joe Viterbo on Coleman as he was passing him?

Sal gets tonight off:

Poor choice. I would've had him sit tomorrow night against a right-hander.
