Truly a sad baseball club

But they are the only team in the history of baseball who can make a comeback, last place team over first place team, in the fashion they did Tuesday night. God that must be embarassing.

Yes, it was. You've felt that kind of embarrassment before too, I'm sure ... but you know that you don't dwell. You move on, and yesterday was a nice ending to the 3-game Orioles series!

Ah, no, see, when you're the first team in the HISTORY of baseball to lose like that, it is a special kind of embarassment that you and you alone have experienced.

i'm taking online classes toward my doctorate, so my laptop will be with me...but Mrs WNY has already laid down the law...my SecurID token to log into work stays home!

I'll be on occsionally, kind of like Empress Gigi IV this week...i'll either have to go to a place with wireless service or use my sister's computer :)

I'd also have to doctor up your comment to shed some light on what a "gold start" might be ...

Really takes the shine off it when you gotta post a spelling correction, doesn't it? I hate when that happens ... except when it happens to JR, who is a world-class polesmoker ...

i would correct that to say posting to FN is easy, hiding it from the boss is difficult ;)

if you have your own office or privat area at work, then that's different...but I'm in a cubicle so I have to be aware of the boss's whereabouts (on vacation this week = not as difficult to post) :)
