Just when things seemed to be settling down another problem in real life popped up for me. I am not going to go into details, but just going to say that I apologize for being so very late with this post, but unfortunately it could not be avoided in any way, shape or form. As of right now I am three days behind the (not so) daily post, and I need now to get it back to where it belongs. So, this post of “Heels in the League” (MLB) is going to be about the games of May 29, 2009, then this afternoon I will have another about 05/30/09 and finally this evening (or early tomorrow morning) I will have yesterday’s games (and be caught up). For now please accept the apologies and check out this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB)…
