Around SBN: The Mourning for Steve McNair Continues (Updated Regularly)

Tampa Bay Rays @ Baltimore Orioles


K6ebjcbb_medium Fqmvjsdf_medium

  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA BB K W-L
Matt Garza - RH 3 13.0 7.62 1.92 .321 8 6 0-0
Brian Burres - LH 4 (5) 25.1 2.49 1.22 .233 10 13 3-1

Garza still scares the shit out of me. Burres has done a damn good job thus far in 2008. He's starting to grow on me. For reals. I don't say nice things about Brian Burres very often. Take it and love it!

I worked at CFA for four years in high school/college

The founder of Chick Fil A believes it hypocritical to take Sunday as his day of rest while making his employees work. It’s a wonderful company to work for and they treat their employees well.

Plenty of businesses that are open on weekends take another day off, such as Monday. CFA chooses Sunday because of the value system of the owner, who gives a shit?
