Too Little

Too Late


Only thing sweeping TB and beating The White Sox on Monday [ if needed] is that it will guarantee that Leyland will get an extension and no changes will be made in 09 because we played so fucking great the last weekend of the season.

All the Tigers have to do is sign K-Fraud and we win the WS in 09


I can hear that World Series Hype already

amazing!
