Well, so far, the only thing “evil” about the Yankees is Sabathia’s pitching performance yesterday! :mad: BTW, I actually used to live 2 blocks from Dunedin Stadium, but I figured no one outside of West Florida and Jays fans have ever heard of it. ---

The Tigers have been spring training in Lakeland for centuries. It was the right answer. I guess this feud has a bunch of soccer fans on it. The Worm edging me out was an anomaly . It can not happen again. oops The new feud is an ugly one too. It is the kind of feud that keeps me out of my rightful spot on the first 5. ---
