| Stealing First |
After a two week vacation hiatus, Stealing First returns rejuvenated, re-sun burnt and peeling. Baseball is winding down as the month of September starts and football is on the horizon. As for now, on to...
Knowing Where You Stand - This is baseball's final leg of the marathon. Prepare to be bombarded by "There is only one October" commercials everywhere and pray that they spare us from Dane Cook's wrath again. This is the best time to be a baseball fan. You've dragged it out through the dog days of summer and now you are rewarded by stretch run games and the fact that armchair managing tirades can spill into Sunday's with football.....

Welcome back for another edition of Tenacious D-Store's Field Of Streams.
