Pack Total: +5
Running Total: +60

Well, two other favorite players and a favorite team player that hasn't played a single game all year... I guess we could have done worse here.

We have a day average of +6.75 and a box average of +6.875 per pack. We're losing ground overall, but we still have 2 of our 3 hits still out there. I've got a feeling one of them is a doosy. Or, that might be indigestion and they're both going to be really crappy Yankees.

That's it for today, we're 1/3rd of the way through this box and there's plenty of excitement left.
