My suggestion: I think if you a game gets called because of rain, the home team should have to travel to the visiting teams park to make up the game on one of their offdays, not the other way around. Stupid Rainy cities on the east coast screwing everything up.

I thought they over did it with Randy Johnson last night. The butt kissing was on the Kobe Bryant and Derek Jeter level.
I didn’t think it was that bad. They neglected to realize that there was another Giants game that day though.

It’s a fruit that looks like this:

Durian is fantastic.
It takes a while to get used to the smell, then the taste, but once you do you’ll never go back.
There’s a rumor in Singapore that if you eat durian and wash it down with a type of liquor the unique properties of durian mixed with that liquor will kill you. Kind of like the Pop Rocks/coke rumor.

we’ve had two baby birds fall out of trees on the playground at work this past week. The first bird was not pleasant to look at – it was very very dead, and had been so for quite some time. The other one was very much alive and we managed to stick it back up in the tree. Many of the kids had never seen a bird that up close and personal before.
I was a fan of the cartoons I guess, don’t remember it but I remember having a puzzle of it.

Something to watch if there's a delay
Well it was specifically on the effects of violent and aggressively themed socio-dramatic play on pre-k classrooms. The teacher handbook I developed was entitled “Kowabunga Dudes.” It’s probably mouldering away on the shelves of the education department at CSU-Hayward.
Very very basically it all comes down to power struggles, any parent of a 2-5 year old can tell you all about those. Superheroes are a way for children to work out some of those power struggle issues.
So should I buy my 3 year old a turtle mask? I’d like to work out those power struggle issues.

I would guess there’s still a copy up at CSUH in the Teacher Ed Library/Resource Room. I have to dig out my copy over the summer. I need to make a copy of it to persuade the local junior college that I really don’t need to take a course on discipline / classroom management.
The last time I looked at it I wasn’t very impressed with it. As you go through your career and look back at what you did 20-25 years ago (damn I’m old) you wonder if it was even written by the same person!

I think there’s a lot to be said with becoming more risk averse with 2 strikes and two outs with RISP.
Randy Winn is going to catch that. And he'll do it real classy-like too.
The odds of that pitch being called a ball were way, way higher than the odds of Dunn getting a hit. 30% of Dunn’s swings miss the ball – and this was a Brian Wilson 96 MPH fastball at or below the knees. And only about one in three balls he makes contact with are hits. He made the right call.

Proud father of Barry Zito. As long as he keeps throwing strikes, that is.
I wasn’t aware it was NDD. Who comes up with these days?
