[USML Announce] Kenny Rogers, Over and Out

[rickgam at comcast.net]

Greetings;
     Brad has discovered the antidote to the voodoo curse - it's the Reverse Curse.  Apparently beginning with the moment you dashed off this missive in the bottom of the 2nd, the Gambler hurled a perfecto from that point on.  Can you please save this power until next year, when I'll probably need you to write dismissively of Verlander, Papelbon, Janssen et al??
     I'm anxious to see if the C.O.P.S. catch this bit of puffery - the sly inclusion of Casey Cy Janssen amongst Paps and Verlander!
     Rick
