Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

I like Norris in RF over Holly.

Lets do this boys. Leave it all out on the field.

Any updates on Ken?

I'm a little shocked that he was out more than a game or two as first reported. They are usually so accurate and forthright in those assessments.

He is using this as an excuse to call it a season. Do you think that Freel would of missed a week with a dislocated toe??? Please.....

Rain could be an issue.. where would this team be without Junior?

They are actually well above .500 without him in the line-up.

I agree. Time to leave it all out there, fellas.

Put up or shut up time. Go Reds!

I just don't see this team in the same position without him

The Win/loss record says otherwise. I know it does not make since, but we are like 8-10 games over .500 without him in the line-up this year.

[Matt700wlw]

Word is now....this game WILL start on time.

I am shocked.

I could think of a few ways his money could be spent to benefit the team. Give me a break....right now, Jr is doing nothing but hurting the team. Anyone who disagrees needs to get a flex capacitor and head to 2006.

Jr and Milton's contracts

Oh I see injuries are convenient excuses for Jr. He must be thrilled with all the injuries he's had to get out of playing full seasons. Lucky guy.

I can see both sides of the coin here. I'm sure playing CF with a banged up toe hurts, but I think one of the corner OF positions would be a little easier. It is a playoff race.
