Alex could have kept The Box Tops alive and raised them to the pantheon of Sixties' rock. Instead, he did it his way and made the music he wanted. The world is richer for the path he took. R.I.P.

I don't recall "Shoulder soreness" ever being a skip a start and you're okay kind of thing. Also, Dusty only hit 88mph today. Is that to be expected and he'll get back to the mid-90's as his arm shapes up, or is he close to topping out and we can only hope for some stamina to be built?Chillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-45036428736729060152010-03-19T15:22:30.841-04:002010-03-19T15:22:30.841-04:00The Sausage King gets my vote.The Sausage King gets my vote.Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-8241040692304690722010-03-19T15:11:34.996-04:002010-03-19T15:11:34.996-04:00Tao works part-time at a Wal-Mart in New Jersey ma...Tao works part-time at a Wal-Mart in New Jersey making customer announcements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-9539462125202497242010-03-19T14:46:11.399-04:002010-03-19T14:46:11.399-04:00I'm not racist!
