Juan Encarnacion is up for grabs. So are the 2007 Cardinals (GRB should buy this ... no, I don't know what that means really). The latter is pretty 'spensive though.

I might snag Juan if someone can think of something legitimately funny.

I knew Greenback sponsored St. Yadier, but I was not aware that he sponsored the 2002 Southern League MVP.

I was okay with what he did in the Mos Eisley part of Star Wars. You can tell from the cantina scene he was going for a bustling commercial area, but outside he couldn't pull it off.

The digital Jabba is horrible. As is having Greedo shoot first in the cantina.

There's a 255 character limit, and that probably crosses it. A little editing will fix that, I guess. I'm open for any other suggestions here. Maybe I can post a poll.

About a week after I paid to sponsor his page, I made the long trek to Busch for the the only time in 2007 and he committed three errors in an inning. So Miles would have to hit homers in the playoffs and World Series for a jersey purchase.

I disagree, the music in the Special Edition is in every way superior to the yub-nub song. It actually feels like an epic ending this time around. Some of the stuff Lucas did was bad/awful, but not the ending. At least until the DVD's when he added Christensen's head onto the body of the actor who played Vader in the unmasked scene.

I grew up on the Yub Nub song. I was horrified when Jedi ended on DVD and they had screwed up the song. Almost as horrified as I was while watching the terrible music video they decided to plop down in the middle of the Jabba the Hutt sequences.
