Ask Susan Slusser: What's with Street, Bradley?
He often comes in and throws just a few pitches to get an out in the eighth, so there's no fatigue involved. And Street is seldom hit hard in his blown saves. I think it's mostly that he's barely a full year into working as a big-league closer and he's still learning things. His sample sizes are all still relatively small, too. As efficient as he usually is with his pitches, I see no reason why Street can't go more than one inning on a semi-regular basis. 2) I read a column (Mychael Urban maybe) that said Milton Bradley's meltdown in Baltimore was only the beginning. Can Milton hold it together for the rest of the season? -- Horace G. (Manteca) .

Washington vs. Houston
Everybody knew one day, he would play like (he did) tonight. We didn't know which day. But one day." Brooks has received limited minutes in only 13 games and he could see more playing time with McGrady not being re-evaluated until next Monday. He isn't the only Rocket who has used McGrady's absence to his advantage. Rafer Alston, Bonzi Wells and Luis Scola have all increased their scoring averages during the time McGrady has been out. "We're competitive. We've always been competitive," said Brooks, the 26th overall pick in last year's draft. A competitive game would be something different for the Wizards, who posted two easy wins over the weekend. Washington won 101-77 over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday and 108-86 over the Seattle SuperSonics on Sunday.
Free Will Bible College buying 66 acres in Gallatin for new campus
Free Will Baptist Bible College is buying land on 66 acres in Gallatin for its new campus, which will be 26 minutes from the existing campus on West End Ave. The contract was signed Nov. 19. Terms of the contract won't be disclosed, including purchase price, until all required city approvals have been obtained and the contract is finalized. "We believe that we received an excellent price from the owner for this prime property on which to relocate," says President Matt Pinson. The college looked at more than 100 potential sites in Middle Tennessee. The site in Gallatin was chosen because it's more than seven times the size of the current campus, which means the college won't have to cap enrollment or end new programs. The new space will allow the college to build outdoor sports facilities for students, and offer more parking.
