I remember being at the Sunday game against the Indians. As much as I like Camden Yards, there was always a buzz at Memorial Stadium that I miss a lot.

Thank you...

A little change coming. I will now start doing the complete series against the foe in one blog. So my next blog will be Monday. I'll revisit the three-game series against Texas, games 11-13.

ooooooooooo it's like watching the Titanic, I can't wait to see how it ends.
