I will support for UNO Dems president anyone who promises to spend all our money in the treasury on baseball tickets and a bus to get us down to KC or up to MN or Chicago to see some games. seriuosly, baseball starting back up is the best thing to happen to America since last year’s baseball season, which was itself the best thing to happen to America since when the White Sox won the world series the year before.

He's currently on pace to have 162 dingers this year - which would be a MLB record. 2) Derek Jeter only had one hit - but 2 RBI. On pace for 324 - also a record. 3) Jason Giambi injected himself 3 times with steroids - before the 5th inning. It apparently helped him start the pace towards 486 RBI. Both records, the latter shattering the old RBI record not-yet-held by Derek Jeter in the 2007 season. That's all from the Yankees camp - stay tuned in for more in the coming days.

If you haven't heard of Felix Hernandez yet, you will. :p Oh, and A-Rod also dropped a foul-ball out and got booed for it. Adam Dunn's on pace for 324 home runs. Yeah, but King Felix put everyone else to shame yesterday.

I know that a few UNO Dems are planning on going to a couple MLB games this summer.... road trip! and we will not be using the chapters funds, are you crazy john? Also, one thing that I wont particularly miss is Cody's undying love for the Yankees. I guess we all have our faults.

(Yeah, I have real confidence in my team). The Cards were my sentimental favorite last year.
