Friday LinkFrogging – 10/8/10

Welcome back kids. Another week in the books.  With them came the MLB playoffs.  Roy Halladay threw a no-hitter in the first game of the Phillies' series with the Reds.  That's gotta sting.  The Yankees are doing their annual pummeling of the Twins.  And, the Rangers are 9 innings away from eliminating the (Devil) Rays. … Continue reading Friday LinkFrogging – 10/8/10
