Good pitchin' matchup today. I like our chances.

Listening on the radio, it's pretty ridiculous to hear the Royals lineup introduced with the Darth Vader theme music and the Yankees introduced with the Rebel alliance music.

How much different would Star Wars have been if the rebels had 4 times the financial resources as the Empire?

jabba the steinbrenner

It would have been a lot easier....it's kind of the story of our military isn't it?
