Does anyone know how to email Josh and Tom?

We are wearing our Texas regalia and have pretty good seats. If we get there early enough we intend to get pics that maybe I can publish if I figure out how.

Is this 75 words? I get tired of creating stream of consciousness.

My son and I spent the last two days sightseeing in DC. Homeland security has really changed the place. Also, the American History exhibits in both the Smithsonian and the National Gallery of Art are closed. Unbelievable to do that in the summer with all the tourists in town. Still, with all the monuments, it makes you proud to be an American.

With the dollar down, at least 75% of the tourists speak something other than English as a first language.

Okay, this has to be 75 words now.

I have lurked on this site for a long time. Now I may have something to say:

1. I have followed baseball since 1959, when Bobby Allison, Camilo Pascual and Pedro Ramos played for the Senators. Oh yeah, some guy named Killebrew.

2. In all of those years I have never expereienced the lows and highs this team has given. Those first 27 games were as painful as anything I have ever watched. These last 69 games have been as exciting as any team I have seen. We are never out of any game, no matter how bad a deficit we find ourselves.

3. That said, I don't know if one starter and one reliever do anything for us this year.

4. If we win at a 66% level, we go 94-68. If California goes at their present pace, 60%, they go 97-65. That assumes we win every series from here on out 2-1. Hey, it could happen.

5. What about the wild card? Yeah, I guess it's possible given the Rays demise but will 94 games replace them or the Yankees? I hope so.

Notwithstanding my concerns, I love watching this team.
