The Czech Republic

Maybe because heterosexuals haven't been a villified minority for 2500 years? Idiot. Neither have homosexuals?

Sure explains the lisp.

Barron's is pretty stagnant too.

They're saving him for the home opener. By the way, if Williams can't cut it as a 5th starter, I dunno what the hell to do with him. He's too fat and lazy to be ready for the call from the dugout. I guess he needs inordinately long warmups and a lot of rest days.

Bulls need to beat the Sixers twice, the Raptors, Magic, and Hawks. They never beat the Nets, ever, so I'll concede that one. Heat will probably win, as will the Wizards. It'll take a lot to earn getting swept by Detroit in the first round, won't it?

Cubs allow seven unanswered runs and the life has alreayd been sucked out of them. EDIT: Spoke too soon! Back to within one run. Jerome Williams is still a tub of lard literally unfit to make relief appearances, though.

ok back Anyway, you're right that we need our gym classes, and we should be eating much healthier, but to ban all vending machines and stuff won't work, because the occasional bottle of Coke never hurt anyone, and all that jazz. You're absolutely right that the school lunches are disgusting. My high school had a Subway, which was good, and most people took advantage of, but beyond that kids were eating French fries by the metric ton, dozens of processed chicken varieties, horrible stuff. No salad bar in sight. However, if you want to make some correlation between extracurricular participation and academic achievement, I think music is a better bet than sports, because there's always more than meets the eye when it comes to athletics. Also, Jingus, stop whining about gym classes, you loaf.

I missed a good thread here. I was never a student-athlete, but I mostly enjoyed PE, except for 5th grade when we just played dodgeball every single day. Physical fitness, swimming, track, you have to do that stuff in high school. I was away from any strenuous activity my freshman year of college and I put on weight, most of which I've taken off by now. As for Smitty's "athletes do better in class" theory, I don't think it's that simple. The illustrious model high school students who do two or three sports and lots of clubs, yeah, they do well, but there are many more student-athletes who get free passes on academics because it's easier for teachers to do that than deal with eligibility committees and pissed-off coaches that have been at the school longer than they've been alive. brb class I'll finish this

What?

It's Glendon Rusch vs. Brandon [sic] Arroyo today. Little worried about this one, since it's pretty one-sided on paper. Maybe Rusch can rebound from a bad spring and a bad 2005 and keep the Cubs in the game. I'm predicting a Cincinnati rout, though.

Sea of empty seats at Miller Park, by the way. I'd go to a game for the hell of it, but Walworth County doesn't get a 50% discount this week. fuck

"immune system boosters" might be the funniest part of the Gay Fuel mystique.

Charcoal, of course. I love grilling

I remember Fridge was a captain in Gang Warz.

Link, please!

This thread is like porn for me.

Are you sure it's not just a support group for depressed men?

Hmph. Oh well, at least the Tribe won this time.

I would guess that's some of the "cardinal magic" that Czech was talking about a while ago. Or a fluke. Would be pretty nice if he could do that sort of thing the whole season. It's funny: if Marshall was starting for the Cardinals against the Cubs, we'd be clueless against him. This actually happened against that (is it Zach?) Duke kid that came up to Pittsburgh and shut the Cubs out. Well, here's where we should've put the bomb. blah, blah, froze when I read what Czech wrote, know people working at GABP, pray for the safety, blah

From the "lamb led to slaughter" department, 23-year-old rookie southpaw Sean Marshall gets to make his first start on the 9th against the Cardinals. If that's not a trial by fire, I dunno what is.

QFE. Cannot stress that one enough. The stock that people put into fucking AL FRANKEN's comments never fails to astound me. "so-and-so's a big fat liar...Al Franken said so! There's no liberal media bias, Al Franken said there's regular media and conservative media!" Since when did Stuart Smalley become the sole arbiter of journalistic integrity? Geez.

Yeah, I laughed, but you really shouldn't throw shit on the field, nor should you run on the field COUGH SOUTH SIDE TRASH COUGH.

CWM sent me that e-fed thing.
