Living a dream | The Columbus Dispatch

Full story: Columbus Dispatch

Derek Holland never bothered to do the math. He never asked how many high school seniors armed with an average fastball ever drew the attention of major-league scouts.

Great story here. Sure is refreshing to read a story like this instead of the daily dose of wrecks, murders, drug dealers, and political fighting. You got this one right, Dispatch!

Thanks for the good story on a really good kid. A really nice guy. I live in Texas and have seen Derek pitch and he has a great future in baseball. I just hope he can stay a Texas Ranger because I wouldn't want my Rangers facing him in a couple of years if he left. And thanks for the Dispatch writer for sending that story to us here in Texas.

Daily Horoscope for November 26

Sagittarius

The mood is considerably lighter as the Moon enters Aries and your fifth house of romance and creativity today; plan to enjoy a good time tonight. Make a play date with your inner child and forget about all your responsibilities for a few hours; you've been working hard and deserve time off for good behaviour. Just remember, no drinking and driving... hire a cab if you plan to go out for the evening.
