Story is that CT signed on as an opening act for Aerosmith and the Aeros added an extra date to the tour. So they'll be opening in a hockey arena in Dallas (in July!) rather than headlining a ballpark in Queens. BOOOOOO!

(and maybe a padre here and there, if they cast anyone off that's worth looking at) I wouldn't look at it so lamentably. Hefner is out of the Padre's system and working out pretty well for us. We have a pretty broad range of backgrounds up there. Lewis spent a long time in the Reds system. Scales in the Cubs system. I just think it's pretty cool to still be scouting and signing wayward professionals after the season has begun.
No, Daughtry (the dude, not the band I think) is in and the Trick is out. Sorry for the suggestion that he was sitting in with Bun E. and friends. I was seriously planning an NYC trip to see the Trick. I may have to look into getting aboard the Wagon wagon. If you have to tickets, don't let 'em go. At least until you talk to me first.
