OK, so the thread drifted a little ... touche, John! I\'m out.

Nice card. It looks like it\'s going to be difficult to keep Pletcher and Brown out of the winners circle on FOY day. What new?

[prist]

I don\'t know how realistic it is, but I\'m hoping for a decent price on Chad Brown\'s IN ITALIAN in the Honey Fox.

Moves up in class and tries stakes company for the first time. Looked amazing on the track LTO.

Lol Just a smidge

You would think Pletcher\'s CLASSY EDITION will take money in the Davona Dale, but she\'s going against open company for the first time. Fingers crossed for a decent price.

The NY-Bred has been impressive in all three of her wins. Looking to make it 4-for-4 in the Davona Dale.

I have a table in Ten palms but will be running around.  Looks like a gorgeous day.  Nice card to boot.

Pedro had 46 complete games over 18 seasons and 13 of those were in one season, so you only got to see him baffle big leaguers with his moxie for nine innings once or twice most seasons anyway. Funny how the memory plays tricks on us about what we saw.

I remember his perfect game he took into the 10th against the Pads.
Not a complete game.

[jbelfior]

I remember 11-13 against the Yankees.


Good Luck,
Joe B

Way to miss the larger point, JMA! I wrote \"guys like Pedro\", so I wasn\'t lamenting Pedro specifically, but rather the trend towards having five or six pitchers in every game. Funny how poor reading comprehension plays tricks about what we take away.

Mo is out of the FOY.  Fever.
