<div>Brother Blocker, I don't remember calling on you. Before I take you to the principal's office for your daily paddle let me remind the class: If any of you think a KC minor league pitcher who ranks #29 on BA's mid-season list is a "prospect," you will be sent to the school nurse to be tested for drugs and alcohol.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Brother Fruit: That was an outstanding pun. I am glad to see someone around here shows a little initiative. Please submit an application to serve as my teaching assistant next semester. </div>
