And great to see you back. I can't believe it's been 27 challenges since you stopped by. Glad you did though. I never would have thought to take this word list into baseball, but that's what I love about these challenges and you guys' creativity. @Matt: Great submission, Matt. And great to see you back.

After they lost game six to the Yankees and the series, manager Mike Scioscia walked down <strong>under</strong> the field into the <strong>tunnels</strong> of Yankee stadium toward his teams locker room. He was trying to dodge reporters at every turn as if he could be <strong>incognito</strong> and avoid them, but Major League Baseball has a <strong>code</strong>, win or lose you have to face the post game throng of blood thirsty reporters and answer their questions. Being that game six was in NY that swarm of reporters were looking to get a rise out of Scioscia by asking him one annoying question after the other. The last question he answered pissed him off the most,"do you think you will ever win another World Series again?" He paused for a moment, sneared at the reporter, pushed his hat back above his forehead  and said,"not every team is like the Yankees who needed to meet their <strong>quota</strong> of winning world series number 27. Any time you play in a tight series it's like a <strong>war</strong> or battle and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, today we lost. So to that end I am proud on how our guys fought, we will be back next year. Right now I just want go back home to my <strong>wife </strong>and enjoy some private time with my family. Then I will help our GM figure out what pieces we need to add to the <strong>puzzle</strong> so we can get back to the world series next year!"

But I guess what I was saying is that when I post a link in Facebook it would be nice to have an image. In other words, if it is on THIS site (the homepage), it will come up as an option. I don't think I can attatch an image AND a link...it's one or the other. Does that make sense? Nice, I like it.

Right now the only 4 images on the site aren't directly related to the CCC. I think it would be fine if it were as simple as "CCC" in your font in green/black, or even if the words "Creative copy challenge" came up. Just an idea. But it would be good for marketing (especially for all us visual people). :) You guys need an icon or logo for this site so that when I link on Facebook there is an image to use.
