  1. "All the creatures watched, the children of light, the children of dark, the kingly and the diseased, those who were malformed in the womb and those whose every breath bore the taste of bile.

  2. A strange noise began in the private swuites.

    At first, the sound appearded as an incoherent cluttering, as if 100chickens and dalmation puppies had been crammed into a large cardboad box together.

    Then, this eerie sound poured out and over into the loge sections, finally reaching the bleacher creatures in the home half of

    People help up photos on a stick, of Cashman, Girardi, Gumby, A-Rod, Melky, Cano and I-Rod.

    Photos of Hughes and Kennedy showed brown curls at the edges, then burst into flame.

    Only Kyle Farnsworth escaped.

    It would be John Edwards territory.
