I did not get a chance to watch the Rising Stars game last night as I attended a Dark Star Orchestra (Dead cover band) concert in Philadelphia. As it turns out, both were good shows. Funny, I wore my Dodgers long sleeve T to the show, how Phillies fans still talk junk after getting their asses handed to them by the Yankees in the World Series. Back to the Rising Stars game. The AFL East squad jumped...
