God, I'm Bored
Like really, really bored. Anyone else? None of the moves are exciting. There aren't any interesting rumors. I mean, this is the new article on the official site. The Nutcracker dealy is next. And La Russa in tights? I avoid those articles every year.
So, we're going to play a game. Scrabble. Here are the rules. Obviously, we can't draw new tiles, so no blanks (you won't need them anyway). To make a play, leave your word in the comments and the starting square (upper left corner=square 1, 15 squares to a row, 15 rows - make sure to say if you want to go horizontal or vertical). Yeah, it's a little cumbersome, but we'll make it work. I'll keep track of what letters are available.
Here's the twist: you can only use the names of players and coaches from the Springfield Cardinals. I included a starting name on the board below. I don't have any baseball cards to offer as a prize, but if someone does win, you can download the 2005 Cardinal game of your choice (totally legally, if you're reading Selig).
Alex has 7 points, redbirdbrain has 68, Pop has 13, Laura has 67, ryan vb has 28, l boros has 20, Bruce has 25, salvomania has 22, the Iron_Throne has 4.
No more "a," "b," "c," "h," "j," "k," "l." "n," "o," "p," "s," "v," "x," "y," or "z"
Remember: first names are OK, too.
OK, the cutoff is midnight Pacific time.
