Title: Galarraga Beats Cancer Again

ESPN Story (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1808973)

According to the article, the Big Cat has been given a clean bill of health after undergoing chemotherapy and "additional treatment" for his non-Hodgkins lymphoma.  On top of that, he wants to play again - he says he'll sign with anyone who will take him in order to reach 400 homers (he has 398).

It's always nice to hear good news about an RBI-er.

I heard that for Big Cat's chemotherapy, the doctors simply sat him in a room with a loop of the RBI "bases clear" music.  Apparently, it's bad for the ears, but good for fighting some forms of cancer.  

In a related story, Big Cat is no longer a large, Hispanic man, but a short, fat white guy who smiles a lot.

Big Cat should be in the all-star game this year.  I know he didn't play, but the NBA did the same thing for Magic when he caught the HIV.

I truly hope someone signs him, so he can get to 400 homers.

I read a little blurb on prosports daily that said the angels would go after him if they didn't sign Mondesi.  But they signed mondesi and it looks like that won't happen.

Somebody should make a big cat tribute rom like the rickey rom that was made!!!!
that would be cool.

Well if he goes to the Rockies, it would certainly help in his quest for 400

erhajj and others, one of the "YABBC Tags" buttons if for webpages.  It's in the second row, second from left - looks like a globe.  Click that and put the website in there, will prevent it from breaking up...

But how do you change the name of the display link, for example if I just want to display ESPN article as the link but then have it go to the full link?  

Did I explain that right?

I'm going to use "<" instead of "[" so I can display it.

<url=http://blah.blah.com>Type text here</url>

Make sense?

Use the following syntax:
[url =...]ESPN Article [/url]

Just make sure not to have a space between "url" and "=".
