Dr M's end-of-season roadtrip

Off to see the SWEEP ATTEMPT! Fourth place, booya!

>>Nationals SS Cristian Guzman dropped a popup by Jacobs for an error in the second inning, drawing boos. When Guzman caught Cliff Floyd's popup at nearly the same spot in the sixth, it drew a sarcastic cheer.

I ate Boog's bbq in the rain.

Hahaha, I can't wait to gauge the bitterness of the Phillie fans...

Saw Howard Johnson throwing some BP -- did he manage in the Mets' system this year?

end of the EXHIBITION season that is... I have the last weekend of the month off; the Pirates are playing in Philly on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Anyone want to go to one, followed by Dirty Frank's?

Was thinking of Baltimore for opening day, but I'm sure Boston fans have driven up all the StubHub tix.

likely to attend a game each of the following, July 4-12

SF @ SD
TOR @ LAA
SD @ LAD

will mail you a crisp, new, maple scented (this is a real thing) Canadian $10 bill if you wear a J's jersey to the Angels game!

I am already near broke from the rooms and airfare

so it'd better be an old Pat Tabler jersey

Rance Mulliniks.

the same to you!
