Another weekend is upon us, and puzzle fans know what that means!

TRIVIA TIME
The first round of Interleague play is underway within Major League Baseball's 2011 season here in America, and some of the matchups have interesting nicknames. Do you know what teams are playing against each other based upon those nicknames?
01. The Subway Series
02. The Citrus Series
03. The El Series
04. The Texas Shootout.

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
A ten letter word can be formed by using the letters in the two five letter words listed. Do you know what they are?
01. Mural, Joins
02. Stain, Mural

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's peek into THE ANSWERS BOX, and see the results from May 14's Puzzle Corner.

COMMON BONDS
01. {Battleship, the Seattle Mariners} Milton Bradley
02. {The Toronto Blue Jays, LuAnn DeGroot} Aaron Hill
