My concern has little to do with this team's recent performance, and more to do with this team's health entering the postseason.Hiroki Kuroda originally was scheduled to pitch Saturday, but a stiff neck has led to his being scratched from his last start of the season."...

I'll probably be in class during the game, which sucks, especially if they clinch. Somehow, it's just not the same watching it on DVR.For extra luck, I used a picture that was both funny and included an attractive female. If it doesn't work, everybody hold telciram responsible...
