Mo just changed - HUGE Cantu double for 2 RBI's and the Horns have battled back to 6-4!!!!

I had a different thought on where he should put that hat.

I was trying to be diplomatic, but the sun wasn't shining under the jacket, either.

Cantu is doing a great job, but I expected it when he signed. He comes from a high school program with great baseball tradition.
