Ok, let me be perfectly clear... If ANYONE says the league had EVER offered to give me or either of my teams a "reduced fee" because of ANY reason, they are a lying "you-know-what"... Anyone perpetuating such rumors is a lying "you-know-what." Equally as much bs is b...

Fellas, I have two things that are in need of answers. First one is my 2 year old dobe. He is a classic red, well built but more importantly he has a very laid back demeanor. My sweetie and I looked around for a long time to find him, as we consider temperment very important with this breed. He has pap ers but a...
I won't lie. I'm growing weary of reporting that the Albany Blue Jays lost a close game at the Florida Fall Classic. But here we are again. Jays fall 8-6 to a team from Tennessee.
