Maggs

I think we are watching the gradual downfall of our campeon.

poor maggs.

Maybe he is burning out, like Jonesy

I really hope not. He is still doing better than a lot of our hitters though.

How close did you get to him at your last game?

Not very. I was about 3 rows up on the LF side on Saturday... which is why I was upset Matt wasn't in the game because he would have been RIGHT THERE.

1 out runner on 3rd.

2 outs.

run scores on a wild pitch.

Poor Gala...don't let the WP get to ya, buddy!

Amazing Magglo's huge fan base. He's really in the dumps, yet he gets cheers galore!

3 outs!

Gotta start work, so bye for now. Still have the game on downstairs so will sort of know what's going on!

talk to you later

I am leaving now.... party to attend.

Well um. How are we doing?

Hopefully he can join us in regular convo soon!

Oooh, btw, is your friend actually a tigers fan?

No. I dont even think he likes baseball that much, but we will make him into one yet.

Is he a Red Wings fan? I'm guessing based on the name that he is....

We have Red Wings discussions he could post in

Okay. So when I randomely PM him make sure you tell him I'm not a creeper okay?
