Dear Commish:

Well, Dad2B, we are close going into the final day. Only HR, RBI, SB, & W appear to be decided and they are split 2-2. We each have only one starter going, both are middle-of-the-staff types (Danks for you; Myers for me). You apparently have at least 9 closers to my 3, so odds are good for you in Saves. The rest are up for grabs.

We're off to enjoy the last rays of summer. Cheers.

...to be continued. Nap time now.

End of Day: Jim, you called it in our tele conf this afternoon: thanks in no small part to Louis Ayala who went "inf" in relief for the Mets, we finish 8-3 and are in the finals. Wow. Nice. (And it's on the same day that Carlos Z threw the first Cubs' No-No in approximately 40 years.)





On to more important things: Looking forward to seeing you and the Mrs. and Baby No.1 in November.
