The final two weeks

Hey Geoff! This is it,man. The home stretch. I have exciting feelings about the Brewers' chances. If you guys can do no worse than 3-4 on Houston and Atlanta trip, I feel it looks good for a division title with you finishing at home with 7 and the Cubs on the road with 6 .I just hope the Cubs don't go 5-1 or 4-2 on their current homestand. I'm about to turn 50 next month and I feel this HAS to be the Brewer's year. When I was born in 1957, the Milwaukee Braves were about to win the world series. In 1982, I was 25 when the Brewers went to the world series. Do you see a trend here? Since I'm about to turn 50, it's that time again (every 25 years)..lol
Ok Geoff,you and the team go out there ,stay loose and have some fun!! GO BREWERS!!!!!!

jenks,
it's been a joy watching you guys this year. i really hope we can pull it off. i'm sick of all the cubs fans at work, i'd really like to see them lose. i also hope that you stay with the ballclub for another season. i'll be in the front row of section 109 the last game of the season in my Jenkins USC jersey cheering you on dude. go get'em!

Hey Jenks,

I am so proud of you guys! I live in Orlando, FL where 90% of the population are New York Yankee fans. This year I have been wearing my Brewers t'shirts and no one has laugh at me. Some have even said "The Brew Crew are awesome this year." I agree with them 200%. Thanks for making 2007 such a great year. My Brew Crew Rocks!

Jenks-
Thank you so much for this great season!

I'm so happy for all of you guys to be in this pennant race!!! This is just so much fun right now for us all!

I was at Miller Park again this past weekend for the games against the Reds, this past Friday & Saturday and, it really reminded me a lot of 1982!!! Just the feeling and the vibe is so different right now than it has been in a really long time! I've been a fan from the day the Brewer's moved to Milwaukee.

I was also lucky enough to be close to most of the Brewer's coaches and some of the key players back in the day (late 70's & early 80's) during the Bamburger/Rodgers/ Harvey's Wallbangers era.

This time, I don't really know any of you guys but, I have met you a few times over the years. You have always been so great to us both! My son who, is 20 now and I live in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, about 4 hours north of Miller Park. Even living that far away, we have managed to make it down there to see 20 games this season and, we are hoping to see a lot more in the post season.

This season has been like living a dream for us both! As we have wanted to be able to go to a Brewer's World Series together ever since I started taking him to games when he was 4. We both know we aren't quite there yet but, it's the journey that's the fun... and it's also the reward for the players and all of the fans too!

I decided Saturday night after Prince hit his 46th Home run of the year and long before I left the ballpark that, there was no way it was going to be the last game that I saw this year at Miller Park and, I know it's not going to be either!

In our hearts, we know you guys are going to do it and win this thing! Just keep playing the way that you all have been and it will happen!!!

All any of you can do is, go out there and play as hard as you can and, don't look back! I'm sure you've heard it all by now but, I just want you all to know that we all support you and the entire team. This is our year! It's been a long time coming and, ALL of you guys have worked too hard for this not to happen so, Go For It and Go Do it and enjoy it too!!! Again, Thanks Much!!!

Hey Jenks,
First off on behalf of all die-hard Brewers fans I want the team to know it has been a pleasure watching you guys this year. The team has brought a sense of excitement and buzz to the state of Wisconsin that I have never seen before. Even if you guys do not make the playoffs, we are proud of you and to be Brewers fans in general. We know that the bullpen needs to step up in the next couple of weeks in order to pull this thing off. If it does not happen this year, I'm confident that management to take the steps needed next year to get the pitching situation figured out. Hang in there. You deserve a pennant and hopefully a World Series Title for your loyalty to the team over the years. In this day and age in sports it is truely a rare commodity. NOW, GO OUT THERE, KICK SOME TAIL, AND SEND CUBS FANS HOME CRYING AGAIN!!

-Loren

hey jenks im 13 years old and i have never had a pro team be good and have hopes 4 the post season with the bucks packers or brewers so lets go get 1 u braun and prince need to be the power house and bring a title back to millwaukee

oh i 4 got im comin to the game september 29 aginst the padres

I've been a Brewers fan for thirteen years now, which isnt easy when you've lived your whole life in NY, surrounded by Mets and Yankees fans! You've been my favorite player for a long time and I'm so, so proud of you and the rest of the Crew. This is our year!

Jenks,
So, I've been a Brewers fan for my entire existence on this Earth, which is 19 years, all in southeastern WI. And since I am six years too young to remember '82, this is the most exciting season that I have ever seen. It is truly awesome to be a part of something this great. You rock, and, since you have been a Brewer since '98, that is almost half of my life, which seems crazy.

This season has brought Wisconsin to a state I have never seen it before, people proudly sporting Brewers gear everyday. I especially see it in Downtown Milwaukee. You boys have truly something to be proud of, winning. Thanks for this season, it has revitalized Brew Crew fans eveywhere.

I hope you guys make it to the playoffs, so I can go to the games (thanks to my mom having seasion tickets), even if I have to skip my classes at UWM, or not do my homework (it would be worth it).

Good Luck,

Kristi

Jenks,
I have waited 7 long years for this, I can't say how much I appreciate you being on this club, and doing with them. I remember watch Bernie go, and Mark, and Rillo, and Sexson, Overbay, I could go on and on with names, but there you were, and no matter what happens, thank you for that. Growing up in Green Bay, I had to travel to Milwaukee to find Brewers apparallel. This year theres a whole section at our Kohl's store. I have had friends relitaves coaches former teachers, former teammates come up to me this year and talk to me about the Brewers, the same people that use to laugh at me when I told them I couldn't do something because I needed to listen to the Crew with Ueck. No matter what happens in the next 12, enjoy em, and on behalf of about 10 of from Green Bay that have been texting each other with score updates and living and dying with every pitch, thank you.

Wisconsin Avenue can be filled again.

AJ

Jenks, Thanks for signing my jersey on Tuesday in Houston. You couldn't possibly know how cool that was that you hit a HR. In your first trip to Houston this year I had won he FSN skybox and it was a Sunday afternoon game. You hit a dinger in the 3rd to make it 3-1. Then I had tix the night the retired Biggio and you hit solo shots in the 2nd and 4th. Well Tuesday the 18th I went down to the dugout and yelled to Suppan to tell Ned that when I am at the game You hit a home run. HOW CLASSIC!!!!. Thanks for the autograph and more Thanks for being a BREWER that all the old guys and kids can look up to. WIN THE WORLD SERIES FOR US.

Geoff i love you. you are doing great playing too. brewers are going to go all the way this year. this team has made me very happy! GO BREWERS! keep up the good work everyone on the team is doing amazing

hey geoff~
man this is exciting. i was 6 when the brewers were in the world series in '82 so i dont really remember all that.

it is so fun watching you guys play competetive games in september and as you said not as the spoiler for once- yay!! keep up the great play and maybe we'll be watching you play in october.

Hey Geoff,

thanks for a great 10 years of baseball and hopefully you will stay in Milwaukee for years to come. As a die hard Brewers fan, this year has been awesome. No matter what happens, you guys had one heck of a season.

Congrats on the 200th homerun. Your walk off homerun against the Mets was on my birthday, so thanks for making my birthday great.

You are what makes baseball great. You always give it your all and I hope the young players see that. Thanks again for 10 great years and I can't wait to see how the season ends!

Joel

Hey Geoff,

You guys are awesome! I am a longtime, loyal fan of the Brewers and I love going to Miller Park to see you guys play. I just want to say that you guys have amazing talent and to keep up the good work!

Darn Cubs!! That's about all I can say about them. You guys are so wonderful, I could watch you play everyday - allday. My entire family has their favorite player. Mine is Geoff, my husband's is Prince, my daughter's if Rickie and my 5 year old son's favorite is Bill Hall. We hope and pray that we will be watching you all the way thru the best month of baseball - October!!
Geoff you are just awesome and I hope you stay with us, it just wouldn't be the same without you. :)

Geoff, thank you for 2 reasons

1. For being an EXCELLENT role model to kids, and to your rookie teammates, it's nice to know there are class acts like you left in the majors.

2. Making this division race as fun as possible! Both the Brewers with their playoff drought, and the Cubs with their WS drought have very loyal fans, and both of these teams deserve to be there. As much as I hate to admit it, you guys are a great team, and with the number of young players proving themselves this year, you guys look to only get better. Thanks for making this the most exciting summer for both Cubs and Brewers fans since 2003 (for us)

Geoff:
Tough loss a few minutes ago. I'm confident that you and the other guys will apply the short memory trick about this disappointment and keep giving 110% until the last out of the regular season.

Here's one way to look at these last few games: the Cubs have the nothing at all to stretch themselves with this easy schedule of theirs at the end. The Brewers, however, are playing the equivalent of post-season games every single contest. All of the come-from-behind games the last 3 weeks (including your magnificent victory last night) have been terrific training for playoff action. I'll be cheering you on at 4 home games this coming week in hopes that you earn your 1st post-season berth in umpteen years!!

Geoff, I'm a Cubs fan so I should probably leave right about now. LOL. No, seriously I just saw you had a blog and wanted to tell you that even though your team and mine are competitors that you're a class act, man, and whatever happens, may the best team win. No matter what happens, I look at the Brewers and your team is getting better and better. Take care.

Hey Geoff, i just wnated to say that you guys have had a great season ans keep up the good work! I hope to see you playing in MIlwaukee next year. Good luck in the last week of the season!!

(p.s. say hi to JJ for me !?!!!)

I'm a braves fan, and I want to show you and your team the great respect that is due you. Yours and my team battled tooth and nail this week, I'm truly sorry that this makes it more difficult for you guys to make it all the way, because you guys are an awesome team, probably my 2nd favourite in the league. Good luck y'all.
Alex

Hey Geoff,
Thanks for a great season. I have been a season ticket holder for many years now and it was awesome to see the excitement the Brewers brought to the fans this year. My daughter is one of your biggest fans and I am so happy that she picked such a great role model as yourself to follow. Hope to see you in a Brewers uniform for many years to come. We just got home from the game tonight (Friday the 28th) tough loss but still such a great season.

Jacquie

Hey Geoff,

I was just thinking about your September and Wow. Boy did you choke. I remember coming into this month, and all my friends said you where going to produce like you do every September. I told them that now that it means sometihng Geoff will Choke like he always does. I remember you crying in the beginning that you weren't a platoon player. You are an overpaid joke. So when we don't pick up your contract and you leave, the next best thing you can do is bring Neddy with you so are teams loses two dead weights. All i can think when i hear your name is choker. I guess the Royals are the team for you no pressure situation for you to fold up like a book.

How do you like that there will always be some d-bag on every message board. No life, I guess, and considering that most of his sentences had grammatical errors, no formal education. Sounds more like a Cub fan than a Brewer fan.

Geoff, hard working player, mentor to the rookies, kind to the fans. You've got the respect of all true blue fans, so forget the rest. If your option isn't picked up, it'll be a different sort of day when your jersey isn't in that dugout. I'll be cheering for you on Sunday.

Jenks, I just wanna ask you if you would please be a Brewer forever. I couldn't imagine you being in any other uniform except a Brewers uniform. You provide that veteran leadership and players look up to you. If you leave Jenks, i'll cry. I need you back as a Brewer. Please Jenks, come back? Always a Brewer.

I LOVE YOU JENKS! COME BACK NEXT YEAR!

I love you JENKINS been a Crew fan literally all 19 years of my life. And you are my favorite player without a doubt! I sure hope you are back next year, because it just isn't the Brewers without Geoff Jenkins!!!!!

thank you for signing my USC jersey. that will hang on my wall forever. well today was a great win but an emotional one for every brewers fan. if you go, you will be missed by all of us jenks. but if you stay it should be another exciting year! take it easy dude. you will never be forgotten.
lots of love man-

brett

Jenks,

There was nothing greater than being in attendance tonight and being able to give you a long, standing ovation. It was a classy move by Ned Yost to give you that moment, just in case.

If the team doesn't exercise your option, I hope that you'll consider coming back for a lower salary. It'd be great to have you play your entire career as a Brewer.

Thanks for the memories, but here's hoping that there will be plenty more to come!

Geoff:

In all my 20 years of being a Brewers fan, you have truly been the heart and soul of the Milwaukee Brewers. Baseball has seen some pretty grey days in Milwaukee, but you have always called this home, that's something fans remember...it showed today!! Every cheer and clap was well deserved Geoff! My wish for you is that the club picks up your option for 2008. Cheers to all the great memories in the past and all the future ones we hope you will continue to make in that #5 jersey ( :

Thanks for a great year!

love always~

Emily

Hey Geoff,
Thanks for all you've done for this franchise over the years!!! You've been a pleasure to watch, giving everything you've got game after game after game. Hope to see number 5 in left next season!

Hi Jenks,
Well what a great season, and the heartwarming moment for you. Thanks for being a major part of of this team for so long. You are the sail of the ship, with your clutch hitting, feared left field arm and leadership on as well as off the field. I remember Robin Yount being this sort of Milwaukee player, but until you came to Milwaukee we always had that void. i hope you are back next year, there is only excitement ahead for all, good luck and SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

Hey Geoff,

I enjoy seeing you play in left field! Thanks for all the contributions you have have made to the Brewers both on the field and off the field. See you next year!

Hey Geoff,
Thanks for a great 2007 season. You are such a major part of the Brewers and I hope to see good ole #5 in left field next year. Sundays game was awesome, you deserved every cheer. Me and my daughters had tears in our eyes. Thanks for the great years you contributed here and hope you are here in a Brewers uniform for 2008.

Good luck Geoff, Your the type of player that needs to and is defiantly good enough play every day. I'll see you either in Dallas or Houston next year. Which either league you are in.

Rusty

Hey Geoff,
I have enjoyed watching you play this last season. Your a great outfielder. I think you deserve to play for the Brewers next year. I hope you to see you in a Brewers uniform next year and if your not I will watch you play baseball wherever you go. Thanks for a great 2007 season!

Hey Jenks!
Just wanted to say I love you watching you play left field and making those awesome catches. You always give 110% out there! Hope you can work it out to be a Brewer next year as the team just wouldn't be the same without you. Guys like Yount, Gantner, Ripken Jr, and Favre (so far) who stayed with one team for their whole career get a little extra respect from me. Hopefully I can add you to that list! Looking forward to seeing you in a Brewers uniform next year!

Hi Geoff, great season! Thanks for what you and the Brewers have given back to Milwaukee. I remember in 1989 when Robin Yount was going to leave Milwaukee and thousands of kids wrote letters to him to let him know how much we appreciated him in Milwaukee. Well, I was one of them. I'm not a kid anymore, but won't you consider this a letter to encourage you to stay in Milwaukee. I realize the contract situation is more in the area of you leaving, but let me share with you what Milwaukee Brewers fans, like myself, value the most. We appreciate your class and attitude that you bring not only to Miller Park, but to the whole city of Milwaukee. You are a true professional who has taken difficulty and even impatient fans criticism in the most mature and classy way. You've worked hard for the Brewers and for the city, and that is worth more than all the dollars that can be traded between ball clubs. New York, Chicago, or anywhere is only looking for production, but you have a fan of yours here who is looking for a professional to whom I can lift up my 3-yr. old Brewer fan and say--there is a champion. We need you here in Milwaukee. On top of that, wouldn't you like the chance to be in Milwaukee next year with this team assembled? We all, including myself, have to swallow our pride sometimes and maybe that will be something that will come your way during contract talks...that's okay, because your a winner, Geoff, and if it doesn't work out, just wanted you to know...thanks for the great 10 years, but we'd like to see 10 more. Blessings.

Geoff
It was a sad sad day on Sunday, when it hit home, that this might be the last time I see you in a Brewers uniform. I have been a fan from the very begining. My hope is that you stay for many more years to come. You are not only an asset to the team, but a icon for many Brewers fans. We seem to value the player that spends an entire career with us. The Brewers have many loyal fans not only in the winning seasons but also the losing ones. We all had faith in you even when things were not going well. I would love to see you be able to see it through and get into the playoffs next year (I have faith that that WILL happen). Not only will you be missed, but I will have to spend a fortune in replacement Brewers gear. Since all mine have the #5 proudly displayed.

To Jenks and all Brewer's fans-

While Our dream season of 2007 may now be over with. I truly beleive that this is just a glimpse of what is to come for all Brewer fans in the not too distant Future!

The way things are looking on the Division Playoff front right at the moment, The Chicago Cubs will have played 165 games this season. That's just 3 more than our Brewer's. Hopefully, they will finally be put out of their misery and all of ours & swept out of the playoffs by the end of Saturday October 8th.

Watching these playoff games to me anyway, They ( the Cubs) just really don't seem to deserve to be there anyway, as they just didn't win anything. As tough as it was for us, by losing 2 of those 3 games to the Braves in Atlanta, we kind of gave them the division. They didn't win it or much of anything and, getting swept in Florida was just kind of what I'm talking about.

None of that matters anymore, as they are there for now at least and, we are here, at home watching it on TV. I just can't help but think that if it was our Brewer's playing the D- backs, things would be a lot different. That or any other "what ifs" just doesn't matter either though right now.

All that does matter is, that this team needs to improve over the winter enough that we never have to go through anything like this again soon. That doesn't mean that the Club also has to go out and spend $250 million dollars in the off season like the Cubs did last winter, to make the improvements to a Ballclub that finished the season just 2 games short of winning the division and making the playoffs for the first time in 25 years.

It does mean that there is some and actually a lot of work to do over the winter to fill some of the small holes before they end up becoming larger ones. Maybe another or, a different starting leftie hurler would be all I want for Christmas!

I really hope also that the teams does re-sign Jenks! I'm sure or kind of doubt they will pay the 9 million left on his deal but, maybe after the team does do the "buy out" hopefully, both sides can reach some sort of incentive laiden agreement for the 2008 season.

Probably the most important business this Ball club has, is to try to resign "Co-Co". We finally have a force in the bulpen and, we gave away a great talent to acquire him. It would really be a shame to lose that and, to have to start over again to find an arm of that caliber. Well, Here's to a great 2007 season and, to looking forward to a even better 2008 season! Go Brewers Go!!

-The Brewerfanmnan

Go Cubs. You ****. Enjoy another season at the bottom with the worst manager alive. Have fun with your seventh inning sausage fest.

GO CUBBIES!!!!

Dear Geoff,

It's been a long, fun ride with you here. It's just a shame that the team is starting to get good and you are possibly on your way out. We Brewers fans have appreciated all the hard work you put in even when the franchise was at its worse.

Thank you for everything if we have seen you in a Brewers uniform for the last time.

Geoff. I hope you know that you will always be loved by Milwaukee. I've watched you since I was little and I can't believe that I may have seen the last of you here. I've been such a huge fan for so long, but I guess the last game of the season proved how much it will hurt if you are not in Milwaukee next year. I definitely cried when you left the field and almost beat up the drunk who squeezed into my seat at the end of the game only to catch the only hat that mattered to me, yours. I really hope you end up in Milwaukee for years to come, but know that wherever baseball takes you, Milwaukee will always appreciate you and I will always be the number one Geoff Jenkins fan.

Geoff,

I was sorry to read that the Brewers are not exercising their option for you next year. Thank you for 10 great, LOYAL years with the Brewers. Not many players would stick around through the lean times like you did, I'm just sorry you weren't able to get that World Series ring with us. Hope you will with another team!

Thanks for all of the years in Milwaukee! You have been one of my favorites in Brewers history. Good luck with your future team and you deserve a championship. From one Geoff to another thanks.

Geoff,

I just read about the club not exercising your option. I'm sorry to see you go. You made watching the Brewers that much more fun. Thank You so much for all the great seasons with Milwaukee, and best of luck to you where ever you go!

Love ya' Jenks!

--Amanda, New Berlin

The Milwaukee Brewers will never be the same without you on the team! Nobody can fill your shoes out in "Jenkin's Jungle!" It's sad to see you go, but you will always be my favorite player! Good luck!

Hi Jenks. I just wanna tell you that I will miss you so much. It really kills me to see that you are not going to be a Brewer anymore. Everytime I think about it, I just cry. I wish you didn't have to go, I wish you could be like Tony Gwynn or Cal Ripken Jr. and spend your whole career with one organization, the Brewers. Jenks, just always remember, Milwaukee will ALWAYS love you, ALWAYS. Please Jenks, come back, don't go. There is no better #5 than you. One more thing, I really want you to be with the Brewers so that you can be World Champs with us. I love you Jenks and I don't want you to go.

Thanks Geoff, We are going to miss you, you have been a great asset to the Brewers and the city of Milwaukee. Good luck with whomever you play with, just don't hurt us too bad when you come back to Miller Park. I also wanted to say that I thought the article you posted in the Journal Sentinel was one of the class acts in all of major league sports. Thanks again. We'll miss you!

Thanks for the memories. My family is sorry to see you leave. I read about your ad in the Milwaukee paper, this just reinforces our view of you as a class act. My oldest boy is fifteen, and will be starting High School baseball in the spring. I hope he continues to use you as an inspiration of how to play the game, and how to represent himself. God Bless!

Well Geoff, look at it like this. Your better off now. Your not playing for that shtty team anymore. Now if you leave the division you wont have to get your *** kicked by the Cubs anymore. Ned Yost has been a disappointment since birth and now you dont have to smell his crappy breath anymore. No more weiners runnin around the ballpark for the homos. This is really a peak in your career. If you wanna win.... leave the n.l. central....The Cubs Handle All the winning over there.Leave Braun and fielder to play in the 7th inning sausage fest. They can hold hands and smooch.

goodbye jenkins. i will really miss seeing our overpaid donkey swing wildly at pitches in the dirt. hopefully you can find a team that wants a left handed hitter that cant hit righties or lefties. then instead of "jenkins jungle" your next team can put a sign behind you on the backstop and call those seats "jenkins swinging circus". i cannot wait until you come back to miller park so turnblow has someone to strike out. good riddance.

Geoff,
I'm really sorry to see you go. You've been my favorite player for a long time-- I feel you bridged the gap between the players of my childhood, (Jaha, Vaughn, Vina... even though the exact years my not match up), and the awesome Milwaukee Brewers team we saw last season. I still remember being three rows behind the visitors dugout the game you broke your ankle on third base -- I was so worried! Also, I've worked at and went to YMCA camps for many years and I wanted to say thanks for all you did for those kids, buying tickets, giveaways and buses-- they really enjoy it! Best of Luck!

Hey Geoff,

If you come to Philly and play hard, we'll love you. The team's a contender as you know, but we could really use one more good veteran outfielder. Guaranteed you'll love hitting in Citizens Bank Park for 81 games!

I see on ESPN.com that you've signed with the Phillies for 2 years. As a long-time Brewers fan, and a guy who still remembers your first homer, best of luck in your new digs. You'll always be a Brewer in the fans' hearts; the one guy who stuck with the team during some lean years, and always gave the team your all.

Hope I get to see some Brewers-Phillies games in late October.

Merry Christmas, and a happy new year (except for the parts where you're playing against the Brewers, of course).

Congrats on your new contract. It should be a good fit for you, although I will definitely miss seeing you in a Crew uniform, Definitely one of my favorite Brewers ever and you were there through thick and thin always giving it your all. I'll remember being there for the standing ovation we gave you the last game of the year for the rest of my life. Good luck in Philly and merry christmas!

Good luck Geoff. We loved you in Milwaukee and will miss you.

I know you've heard the poor welcome back boos for past Brewer players... if you hear any boos, don't worry. The real, educated fans, still love you.

Have fun in Philly.

Hey Geoff,

Have the boys over at MLB change your blog. You're a Phillie now! Looking forward to '08.

In my heart, you'll always be a Brewer! Sure hope those Phillies know how lucky they are to have you. It won't be the same going to games at Miller Park now without you in a Brewers uniform. Just don't know if my heart will be in it any more...

Hey Geoff,

I am a teenager currently so you are the first really great true Brewer I have known thus far in my life. I was at the final game of the season, and it was touching to see you walk off the field to the standing ovation that you did. I wish you all the best in Philadelphia, and I hope to be there when you come to Milwaukee in April. Although there will be boos, please know that the cheers that come will be from the true fans of the Brewers. Good luck and thank you so much for ten great years. You really are a Brewer in my heart and all of us Brewers' fans hearts, and I know you always will be.

Thanks for the memories #5.

Hey Geofff! yo yo yo You rock dude i think dat you are da bestus eva Ha Ha Ha !1!!!**8

Welcome to Philadelphia! The fans in Philly are looking for you to help us repeat as division champs! I look forward to reading your blog throughout the season!

http://philliesphorum.mlblogs.com

Hey Geoff;

You've probably heard this a lot already, but we Brewers fans appreciate your 10 years of service, and we're going to miss you in Milwaukee. It was really something special to take out that ad in the Journal-Sentinel thanking the fans of Milwaukee. You're a class act and a good example of what a baseball player should be, on and off the field. I wish you the best in Philadelphia, and you'll still be greeted warmly when you come back to town (even though you're playing for the opposition now.)

Cheers and thanks again.

Hey great blog, I really enjoy reading your writing! www.johnmvp.com
