He talked me into Home Depot. A lot of todays baseball players have great equipment. Their gloves are big enough to sleep four people, and they still cant catch the ball. Both Grant Hill and I are going to Orlando. Hes going for ten million per year, and 1 got a round trip ticket for a grand. Carl Everett of the Boston Red Sox head butted an umpire. The dispute was over Carl standing outside the batters box. As you know, I am a little down on umpires, but NO ONE should ever head butt them. Umpires bring trouble on Ive themselves. Batters have been standing outside the batters box for the last fifty years. Now Ley are going to enforce the rule; too late blue. That's like teaching school and waiting until the second term to start your classroom rules; too late. Umpires will not live by the written in the book. They arbitrarily change the strike zone, allow Atlanta to change the size of the catchers box, call strikes that are six inches off the plate, and now they want respect. Too late. It looks like my cousin, T.D. Croshaw, will get a lot of playing time at the University of Utah this fall. His competitor (Arceneaux) will be in jail. Who won that fight in the bar between him and that woman? If Karl Malone keeps talking about himself in the third person singular, (Karl Malone gotta do what Karl Malone gotta do), then Dale Simons gotta write what Dale Simons getta write. wish we could trade Greg Ostertag for Aionzo Mourning, Jacque Vaughn for Reggie Miller and Adam Keefe for Kobe ByanL Why cant these trades te mads?
