Get your brooms ready. Game 3 on the way! Hook Em!!

 

[McQ]

They moved it to a DH Sat due to exactly that; threat of rain. I know, I know, I don't get it either; I live in PacNW. Rain outs be damned!

Ah, when they moved it I was thinking saturday was a good chance too. Is this offense in the past three games fools gold once we get back to conference? I sure hope not.

 

[joeywa]

And in case you're wondering, here's my setup today:

TV on left-LHN
