I think baseball sucks in general. As an American, even cricket is significantly more entertaining.

Baseball probably wouldn't suck if Charlotte had a team. The Crawdads are interesting (Hickory) but I don't actively keep up with them. I remember watching Andrew McCutchen (went to a lot of games that season) and now he's some super duper mega star. Good for Hickory.

So White Sox closer Matt Lindstrom is on a rehab assignment in Charlotte but they spelled his name wrong.

I just cooked lunch for Danny Manning! He and his family came into the restaurant today. I wonder what the thought process is in choosing our restaurant considering its more a family restaurant than fine dining.

Total so far:
-Danny Manning
-Bismack Biyombo
-Paul Azinger
-Brad Hoover
-R.A. Dickey

I've seen you mention your restaurant quite a bit, what is it? I'd like to check it out?
