Empty coffee cup. Half empty glass of Tropical Punch kool-aid. A half-full ashtray. An empty pack of cigarettes. A few lighters. Two empty cans of Pepsi. A can of Raid (I hate bugs. Really hate them.) A bottle of Prevacid. A candle I use to stick lit incense in to burn.

AWWWW Ichiro number 1!

What a disgrace to the game. Is he too good to put his last name on his jersey just like everyone else has for the last 90 years?

Anyways, nothing personal, that just bothers me.

Sammy Sosa could quite possibly be the best player that I will ever see in my life. And we're going to make a run at the division in September. For once the Cubs have not fallen apart in August!

A run aganist the braves?? Not a chance in hell! Braves are by far the best team in baseball I hate to say it, but its quite true...best player? barry bonds is much better of a hitter..he walks probally twice as much as sosa, and still has more homers then him ha!
