GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS FOR THAMES FAMILY

It was great news fror the family of Eric Thames in California when he got the call to join the Jays for the final game of their series in Detroit.

“My mom was freaking out,” Thames smiled. “I think she had the feeling it was coming anyway. I had no idea. She's a hard core baseball fan, so she was all over it.”

The first investment Eric's dad made was to purchase the Tigers' TV package. Now that his Motown debut was rained out, could the Rays' package be far behind?

Richard,
This is becoming unacceptable. Where's the consistent mail bag....what's with the crappy little stats that you put up. If you want a consistent following on your blog, then offer consistent content. There are many more blogs and I send this note not to crap on you, but because I like what you have to say, however, if you don't really care about your readership, then keep doing what you're doing and I'll move somewhere else.

Regards,
Terry Slack
