I misread that. Nevermind what I was going to say in response.

Sounds like Verlander is throwing pretty well.

He's soooo excited. Ever since I told him we were moving to the U.S. he has dreamed of playing baseball.

What about cricket?

Too young. You don't really start playing it until about age 8 or 9, even at boarding school. He saw me play it several times though, but he just fell in love with baseball when I caught him a BP ball the first night game I ever took him to (Rangers in August '06).

Incidentally, we were at opening day at Comerica and Anderson threw us a ball during BP- an International League ball. How weird is that?

Out!

B:3 S:3 O:3 -
Franklin Gutierrez swinging.

3-0 after 3 innings

Baseball is better anyways (sorry). I think I know how to play cricket though....I think.

That's cool and also cool that it was a minor league ball. Those cost as much as ML ones so that makes it all the better.

It was. Verlander finished it off. Did you want him to give up 4 runs first?

For a catcher, Laird has got some serious wheels!

SOrry, I'm slow. Trying to do to many things at once....that and I can't type at all. I'm averaging 10 typos per post (and fixing most of them...just not the first one in this post)

I thought you were just being you LOL

Curtis out. Average drops way below .200 now
