I'm confused

The ChiSox lineup is exactly the same as last night! Isn’t that illegal or something?

Gavin Floyd still sucks

His 3.63 ERA is an empty house of cards. His peripherals are poor, as shown by his 5.10 FIP. He’s one of many reasons the Chisox will fade in the second half.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

The Cogan family

has been out on vacation all week, so is there any dirt on Guillen’s issue besides the
“back spasms” reason given?

I hope we beat these f-ing thugs. We will be en route from Denver during the game, so good luck.

Welcome to CraigBrazell.com! The unofficial fansite of the 2007 Joe Bauman Round-Tripper Award Winner. The award goes to the top home run hitter in the minors. Let me start off by saying I’m not Craig nor do I know Craig. I’m just an avid baseball fan and have been reading about this exciting player for a few years. He played last year, mostly in the minors, for my favorite team the Kansas City Royals. Craig has since signed with the Seibu Lions of Japan’s Pacific League. This site is still under construction, so please bear with me. I hope all of you viewers enjoy this site.

I had a friend in high school who

unfortunately was still at that peach fuzz stage of his life. But he didn’t let that stop him from wetting and parting his hair and then taking a sharpie to his upper lip. I think he walked around heil-ing people all day in a dark green button up. He was also taking german that semester, so that only added to the whole drama of it.

true story

there was a game where we scored 1 in the first, 4 in the 2nd, 1 in the 3rd, and 3 in the 4th, and when my dad ran into me I promptly told him that our score was the numerical value of pi backwards.

Yes, I am a math dork.
