IT LOOKS LIKE THE SOUTH HAS BEEN SECURED BY THE NATION LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE FROM YOUR TROOPS WAITING FOR THE SIGNAL FROM THE GREAT WHITE CHIEF TO CONTINUE NORTH.....

Charlie, A lot of folks have thought the South is 'secured'. Truth is, it's gonna rise again and it'll be 'Walker' when it does.
As for the True North -- it's strong, free and Walker to the core.
Now, onto other important matters -- You said the Rasmus kid was a player. After the tag end of last season, I begin to think your judgment of ball players was as faulty as your choice of hounds.
However, he had a slow start this year but has been picking up steam (kind of like a good Walker hound)-- has made at least three highlight-type plays in center that make you remember Devon White. Bat is coming alive, with a homer and triple and a three-hit game and he scored a run on an infield out by out-running the throw home.
Think we may just keep him.

SO YOU ARE SAYING MY JUDGEMENT OF HOUNDS AND PLAYERS MAY BE A LITTLE BETTER THAN YOU THOUGHT...

Players, anyway.
