I know a guy who caught a Lowell HR one time. I think his name was Darth something or other.

With a name like Darth I'll bet he never woke up happy.


I can't wait for the season to start.

The Sox were leading 14-2 going into the bottom of the ninth and Embree gave up four runs. I think it may be the end of the road for him...
