So...Kenny, Kenny

Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae.

Quite the finish last night in New York - Mets closer Billy Wagner gave up three runs in the top of the ninth against the Cardinals (Astros' fans know all about Wagner in the ninth). Wagner's performance rendered a great night by Hazel's pal Carlos Delgado meaningless. Delgado has been unbelievable this post season; Carlos hit two HRs last night off former teammate Chris Carpenter, but it was all for not.

Kenny Rogers shut down the Oakland A's in the afternoon game, granted shutting down that anemic offence isn't anything to pump your chest out over - but seven shutout innings in a League Championship Series is still impressive. The A's looked like they were ready to pull a Kramer yesterday...Kenny---Kenny---Kenny.

HAZEL'S THREE STARS

St. Louis Cardinals OF So Taguchi came on in the ninth inning and hit what proved to the the winning HR off of Billy Wagner. Taguchi seemed more surprised than anyone - as has come to be expected, Wagner fell apart after that shot.

As mentioned, Kenny Rogers shut down the A's yesterday afternoon, pitching seven shutout innings and allowing only 2 hits and 2 walks while striking out 6. He made a few A's look down right silly on pitches that were 6 inches off the plate.

Craig Adams of the Carolina Hurricanes scored two goals, helping the defending Stanley Cup champs win their first game of the year last night in Atlanta.

That's about it for this morning...back later with the NFL picks for the Spreads pool.

HAZEL'S SATURDAY HOROSCOPE
You may have a lot riding on one of your talents. Travel if it will help you get something you are trying to do off the ground. Pleasure, socializing and enjoying the company of someone who can rock your world should be penciled in. 5 stars

Hazel, I hope things are groovy in your world - looks like you are in for a great, great day. Travel huh? How about a trip up north?
