  I keep picking the dead-end choices, just like I always did with the books. :(

  I can't wait until a mainsteam news outlet prints an article that says "A-Rod negotiating with Rays?".

... should make a run at Schilling. They could definetely use another starter, and I think a trip to the National League would only help Schilling. Not to mention his postseason numbers speak for themselves, and that could come in handy for the Cubs next season. They might win a playoff game before getting eliminated!
