Around SBN: The 2009-2010 Card Chronicle Big East basketball preview

Game 104 Overflow

The Cards are up 3-2 going into the bottom of the fifth. Wellemeyer aka Colonel is really struggling to throw strikes but has struggled through five innings so far. Wonder what TLR's TTTCBN combination will be tonight with a one run lead. Hopefully they can hold it. In case you haven't heard, Mitchell Boggs will be starting the game tommorrow night. Not my first choice but whatever, I'm just trying to get 75 words.

Go Cards!

my favorite place is called Kuma’s Corner, they have the best burgers in town. gourmet style half pound feasts. they have about 12 different kinds of burgers, all named after metal bands. they are all served on a delicious pretzel roll. the place is funny, because you have metal heads hanging out with regular folk who want to eat an amazing burger. it’s a one of a kind place
