Maloney has looked good in his previous two starts, totaling 10 innings and giving up only 3 runs and, most importantly, zero home runs. He may get another start after this, but he may not. Who knows what's going on with this rotation now. So if he wants to get his foot in the door for the rotation next year he should throw a no-hitter. With the way this team played in Pittsburgh that doesnt seem like such a crazy thought.
Brian "The Other Toothache" Moehler has put in another back-of-the-rotation year for the Astros, doing just enough to keep his job but not enough to give the Astros a real shot at winning. There's something admirable about that. Like a tight-rope walker. The Reds have avoided facing him thus far this season, but he's started 10 games against them in his career, averaging 5 innings with a 5.22 ERA. I'll set the over/under for Joey Votto doubles at 2.
The sweep of the Pirates keeps the Reds in the hunt for a .500 season with 9 games to play including tonight. Believe It!

I don't have any weekend classes
but the coursework is somewhat demanding at the moment so I figure I better get ahead or I might end up the Willy T of my class
yeah?
what area? i got my masters in social theory.

cool
I’m actually working in aesthetics, ethics and, possibly, philosophy of history. Symbolic logic, though, always gives me trouble and one of my courses this term is going to involve more of that than I’d like to see
I took a 100 level logic course as a senior in college.
The professor did not know how the English language worked. He was continuously wrong. (I was right, of course). He also gave me a 3.5 because he declared that me missing class to film Jeopardy on behalf of the university an unexcused absence.
I’m clearly still steamed about this two years later.
IAN! I'm on traain!

my kinda stuff
i wrote my dissertation in ethics. i had the greatest professor of my life for symbolic logic, so not only did i love it but it was incredibly easy. he made a lot of my classes like that. which is why i went for my masters (not as fun).
i teach an intro logic class now. i dont do much symbolic stuff though. the business students i teach would probably sue me or something.

No No No No
I write excellent papers..wrote great one in college. the trick is to pick a couple of simple ideas weave them together and embellish them with ’academic speak, – Marx and the social morality of slavery and blend it with Christianity – OK then:
Marx believed that the social principles of Christianity gave a non-moralistic justification to slavery, requisite in having a ruling class and an oppressed class. According to him, in Christianity, all the oppressed class can do is the hope that the ruling class will be charitable, and the objectionable actions of the ruling class is considered as punishment of original sin, or trials that are given by the Lord. When seen this way, the true nature of these acts are masked. For these reasons, religion in general, and in this case, Christianity in particular, should be abolished.The repercussions of such stratification in society, religion and the political behavioral adjacent with both, are confluent with the indigenous knowledge that the proletariat has a requisite moral value injunction upon the masses. This dissemination of values and said religious behavior gave rise to a socialist agenda allowing for Barack Obama to be properly viewed as a Hawaiian person and not a Black Man, great grandson of slaves.
This is A+ level shit… always tie the thread in with current events. Profs love this shit.

Trivia Question
what’s the 2nd tallest building in the continental US?
"Plain and simple, I wake up in the morning and piss excellence"
willis tower?
i think the CN Tower is the tallest. or maybe that’s backwards
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
It depends how you measure height.
If you restrict only to buildings, and look at the height to the roof, the Empire State Building is second tallest in the US. If you restrict to buildings but look at height to top of architecturally integral elements, the Trump Tower in Chicago is second tallest.
If you look at freestanding structures, including the height of everything, the second tallest is the John Hancock Center in Chicago. In all three cases, the tallest is Willis Tower.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
something in Chicago I'm sure

I love baseball-reference, I have no idea how they calculate the comps at the bottom of each player page, but
Joey Votto is most similar through the age of 24 to Todd Helton =-O
I’m very geeked about that.

Nope, I suck
That’s why I can’t figure out the formula that makes UK a final four team due to Rivals.com rankings.

I really am glad UK got Calipari. The rivalry those 2 had when he was at Memphis was awesome.
Having Kentucky ranked at 2 is a stunt to sell magazines. They know every half literate blue neck will buy it to look at the pictures.

Speaking of totally fucked teams
How great is it that the Cubs have SEVERAL absolutely horrible contracts that will screw with their payroll for years to come.
Zambrano, Soriano, Bradley, Fukudome….that’s almost as payroll as teh entire Red’s team and they all suck bad. Every time a “friend” of mine that’s a Cub’s fan talks about Bradley I talk about how I still cna’t believe they signed Bradley of Dunn and gave him 10 mil more.

only Soriano has been really bad
and he’s getting paid the most. Z is paid a little more than he’s worth, but his contract is hardly a disaster. Bradley hasnt been as bad this season as most think, and Fukudome is a solid player.

If I win the Mega Millions tonight
Ash & I will open a bar in the space formerly occupied by Tropicana at the Levee. It will be named “Middle School Dance”, and there will be lines drawn on the floor with a boy’s side and a girl’s side. There will be a DMZ between the two areas with a dance floor where the boys and girls can mingle as long as there’s always daylight between the boy and girl. Our specialty drink will be Hennessy and Ensure and we will sell it at a loss just to lure people in. Ash has promised to bartend while showing off the goods.
All of this has been agreed upon during our current drunken conversation. This is a legally binding agreement between the two parties. That is all.

The error;
A very catchable ground ball was hit to Fransisco’s left side. He moved well enough to make the play but allowed the ball to roll under his glove. Reminiscent of EdE. I don’t know where this fits into the plan next years. 2011 maybe..unless Rolen gets hurts or Gomes falls off the end of the earth.
