Now there's a man who could help the opposition clear the bases.<br /><br />From the solid source of Wikipedia, the Benjamin Moore update on him is that Musselman Landscaping just went bust and he's now a realtor. Good luck with that one Ron. I wonder how Jeff Mussleman is doing with his Ivy League degree?<br /><br />And by Astros Left side of the infield, I was obviously thinking of looking at it from Glenn Wilson and Jose Cruz Sr.'s persceptive in the outfield of course.Team Scrappynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-89573412796008460972010-06-24T17:45:47.528-04:002010-06-24T17:45:47.528-04:00Last Friday's Rock Out was for Jonah, not Prie...Last Friday's Rock Out was for Jonah, not Priesty. #NeverSatisfiedNavin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-46640517217127034522010-06-24T17:42:10.691-04:002010-06-24T17:42:10.691-04:00Dude: There was a Friday Rock Out last week.

Camp and his non-filthy stuff that nobody can seem to square up on these days, and Morrow depsite his scary similarities in all manners pitching to AJ Burnett.
