No comment on our chances...

[JEbin]

Predicting 2-1. Hanson gets shelled, but Richards pitches well enough to win and Wilson pitches a shutout.

Same here

[GA16Angels]

We're at least winning tomorrow because I'm going. Too bad I can't go when Richards is pitching again.

Sadly, my girlfriend surprised me earlier this week with tickets to tomorrow's game. Does anyone want to take my lady? Hopefully they win, but if not I will have to drown my sorrows with overpriced beer.

Yeah, but it's not easy to sneak it past the girlfriend. She doesn't like to be around me when I drink my Wild Turkey.

[BigGuy951]

Do it anyway! It's her fault you need it! lol
