I still have a word game called Probe. (kind of like Wheel of Fortune without the wheel, using cards instead.) Anyone ever hear of it?

<<I'm not much of a sports fan

I have no idea where else to put this, so...

Have any of you noticed Roger Clemmons voice? (Clemmons, for those who don't know, is one of the Yankees star pitchers. He's very large, has a bit of a temper, and has been known to forget himself and throw baseball bats at runners. He claims not always to be able to distinguish between bats and balls.) It seems to me he has a lovely set of tenor pipes and should be singing Verdi.

Singing Verdi? Eewww! It's bad enough he's pitching for the Yankees.

Only if he went the whole game with only eighty-one pitches, none of which were hit.
