That's it. Number of hits. Not batting average. As my long-single brother used to say, "I'm not looking for Miss Right. I'm looking for Miss Right Now!"

At least total bases, right?

Absolutely. A point tonight is a stolen point. A loss is a shrugged shoulder "meh".

A stolen point is 3 stolen points. One for us and two denied to Mexico.

A special kind of something, anyway. Holy shit, I have to go back to college.

I do not like the Rick decision to sacrifice Michonne. Because it is just stupid. And I look forward to that voice of morality and reason Merle to talk him out of it. This, a million times. Not just Rick, but Darryl and Herschel, too. No one thinks, "Hey, maybe the crazed psychopath is lying&q...

Just came across this bit of logic on an OKCupid profile: Atheists who do yoga, it doesn't make sense to me, stop doing it ? You do know it is part of a religion? The particular stretches are to do with the soul and the body? We won't even start with chakra alignments and houses. Yes, its like goin...

RSL played a game at Cruz Azul a couple years ago where there was so much rain that passes were getting intercepted by puzzles.

That didn't stop RSL from blowing a late 3-goal lead.

I'll give him points for cleverness, though. That last line reads like the Onion.

Ah, that's it. Thanks Slolz. Lehigh knocking off Duke remains my favorite of the long-range upsets but the one I remember seeing, because the entire game was televised, first game of the day maybe, was Richmond knocking off Syracuse 20-some-odd years ago. Don't remember Cleveland State(14) beating ...

Ha!

But how was he not offside? Need a good replay.

And yeah, I think your boy is playing.

Thanks.

I heard Sabo was hurt, but selfishly I'm glad he's not.

The RSL players should be in. They know how to win in Colorado

Edit: The other Sabo.

Steve of phpBB

Is Saborio going to play for CR?

Is the game on tv?

Got an alert from my March Madness app about the Illinois game, so I turned it on.

I have now watched about one minute of Illini basketball this year. Two possessions, two turnovers.

Live it up, Mr. D.

Ouch.

June 18: vs. Honduras in Salt Lake City I have a three-week trial scheduled to run until June 21, dammit. Will probably try to get tickets and then unload them if I can't make it. The USMNT is also playing a Gold Cup game against Cuba here in July, if anyone wants to see some soccer and mountains a...

Great to hear it, guys.

My kid finally had a debate tournament to compete in - all the other ones this year have been for high school, but he is in middle school so they haven't had any tourneys until now. He and his partner finished sixth. Out of six teams.

Poor guy.

Steve of phpBB

That has to be one of the longest own-goals ever, right?

The Chicago papers are reporting that Brian Urlacher has given up on re-signing with the Bears.

Deserved to drop that one.

"don't tell me the score" For people who want to see the highlights not knowing what is going to happen or how it ends up. When I clicked through, I picked a game and it took me to a page with the score in 40 point font (along with highlights, stats, etc). Is it just that the scores aren'...

This is a very cool piece on where the best basketball players come from and where they go to college . That's an article I always meant to do on my site, but never got around to it. I always suspected that Virginia both produced an inordinate number of great high school players and also failed to ...

If Texas Instruments buys Ranjidikishar Khan a sweet new Hyundai, and the NCAA finds out about it, does he lose his eligibility to research superconductors? I think this hits it on the head. Grad students in a lot of fields can get stipends from outside, and it does not make them ineligible. Also, ...

I'm thinking it doesn't matter whether you or I find it self-serving. I think it's up to the cancer patient.

Aah, it's good to have Johnnie back in the Swamp.

I rode them at the bike store and then bought online. Dude. That's pretty evil. I know everyone says that you have to test ride to see how a bike fits, but I have never been able to tell the difference from one bike to another based on a test ride. For me, any bike I get on feels good. It takes sev...

Steve of phpBB

Niiiice. FWIW, I may end up getting run over like Steve, too. I finally bought a road bike again this month, after doing without for three and a half years. And I have to say, it feels awesome to be riding again. But for your bike, I think your best bet would be to go to REI. That closeout does not ...

Anyone? Afterwards, I was left with a sense that the episode was a bit silly. But the scene in the abandoned building was probably one of the scariest scenes I can remember in the whole series.

So is it safe for me to overwrite my "The Swamp" bookmark, and commit to this place?

Apparently she could have been tried after she regained her sanity, but Waitkus declined to press charges.

It sounds like she made it the rest of her life without shooting anyone, so this was probably a case where temporary insanity really was responsible.
