Subject: Madame Diane is piqued
In reply to: Roger 's message, "Re: A month? Madame Diane consults her crystal ball" on 00:23:17 10/07/08 Tue GMT-5

She never bets on baseballl. She has given her crystal ball, along with its curse, to Mr. Harper. Soothsayers like her only use the ball as a prop. Harper on the other hand needs a ball, or maybe two.
