2 is correct. I'm a year older than Stock, and I had to take the new test. However, some schools disregard the new writing section.

On May 20, 2006 the USC baseball teams was playing at Wichita State.

If you are not a student at Agoura High, you can only attend the prom if you sign a guest pass and have people vouch for you. You are also subject to a random breathalyzer test.

Just trying to do my part.

I could have said, "Everything about your behavior was savory," but somehow it doesn't sound the same.

Agoura beat Calabasas High 24-0 in a game that was not as close as the score would indicate, yet was three times as boring as the score would indicate.

Hey, look a passing turnip truck!

My favorite character didn't have a line and was in the movie for two seconds, but he was exactly like my freshman year roommate in college.

my best friend in high school was exactly like that.

Not likely, but I thought I'd ask.

A classic which finally got its due with a Criterion DVD release last month.

What's kind of surprising is that relatively few of the actors in that movie went on to become stars. The film does bear the curse of having unleashed Ben Affleck on the world. It got McConaughey, Zellweger, and Joey Lauren Adams started too. But the actors who played the major characters haven't really done much since then.

You'll be able to see the games. EI screwed up their published schedule for this week. The games on Monday and Tuesday were not on the schedule but ended up being on the package. Ditto for tomorrow night's game -- Extra Innings forgot to put it on the schedule but the program guide in my DVR box is already telling me it'll be on. Saturday and Sunday may be the same.

Parker Posey is legit.

Meanwhile, I wish I had Stock's excuse for missing his prom (although I'm still not sure what it is) - I missed mine because I was anti-prom and lame.

makes me wonder what are Jon's best movie flicks of all time or atleast in the past decade.

i missed mine because i was way to rebelious (sp?) & i had to go work/supervise my dads crop land in mexico, on a happy note i was the best pitcher/ss in my jalisco region :o) & we won the whole thing that year!!

A little tidbit:
Ned starts off on why he did not panic during the 1-13 start after the All-Star break.

"You've got to believe in the one you hire," he said. "I didn't need [to say anything] ... that would have put more pressure on him. Everybody knows what's at stake. It's the big leagues -- you don't need to reinforce that. There's enough day-to-day pressure, you don't need any additional pressure."

Little said there wasn't even a hint that he would be fingered for blame when the team, as he put it, "took a two-week All-Star break."

"Never once," he said. "The attitude was always, 'We'll get through this.' I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned. But nobody panicked. If the leaders show they're spiraling out of control, there's a good chance it will happen on the field and in the clubhouse. Everybody was the same way when we were losing all those games as when we won 17 of 18, and not just Ned, but [owners] Frank and Jamie McCourt. It's just the way we operate here."

we had the same thought, that's kind of creapy/what are the odds.

Jason Phillips comes to mind but that can be counterd by getting rid of a certain player from japan that walked alot of batters.

43 I liked this better:

"J.D. DREW'S name was not in the lineup, and Manager Grady Little said it was because he wanted Julio Lugo to play.

'He brings a lot of life to the ballclub when he's in there,' Little said.

So is that why Little removed a lifeless Drew from the lineup?

'I'm going to dodge that one,' Little said."

A: Their recipients both get sick of them.

Of course there were some valid returns from this trade.

I'd say a panic trade is when a GM does something that even he knows is risky or dumb in the hopes of providing a bandaid solution to a problem.

Given the Reds need for bullpen help, I think it qualifies.

Green, who wants to be New York's next Jewish sports hero, faced Jason Marquis, who is Jewish and from New York (not the city, but Manhasset).

57- The only reason not to classify it as a panic trade is that doing so could mitigate the crime. It's like letting the guy plead to manslaughter.

The triple was greatly aided by Preston Wilson dropping the fly ball and then falling over.

True dat.

Adam Dunn would have caught that

Sorry for opening up old wounds.

The Mets are up 3-0.

getting Drew IMO was a flat out bad move from Depo IMO.

remembering things like that is not good for my helth.

doh!!

And no Tim Brown, this is NOT the real Drew, his home run per at bat ratio is WAY down from his career average.

Don't get me wrong, I know Drew is an above average right fielder, but I'm sure we all know he could be a LOT better than what he is now.

i respect you're opinion, but i think you're realy wrong on that thought, when the signing was made i was really upset i said to my self i hope i'm wrong on it, my first thought was/is right so far.

first of all he wanted to play CF, i don't think the guy can play first base healthy let alone CF!, 2nd of all 55 million dollars for an injury prone ball player was not the right choice.

ps i know Jon agrees with me on this he can see the big picture like normal human beings.

I think you were more upset about losing Beltre, and thought the Drew move was some panic compensation, right?

I think you were more upset about losing Beltre, and thought the Drew move was some panic compensation, right?

is some ways you're right, but the Drew signing was just flat out wrong period! nothing will change my point of view about that! it was just flat out wrong! atleast you knew what you were getting from Beltre.

Even if you don't like Drew, even if you don't think he's worth the money he's making, there's still a leap of judgment required to get from there to, this team would be better without him. Part time Drew is worth more than full time Repko. Part time Drew has been worth more than every non-pitcher save Nomar and Ethier, this year. He makes more than both of them put together, I guess; so, there you go.

2) Tim Brown is kind of underratedly dense. Plaschke gets all the pub, but Brown is right there.

3) the decision to give Drew a huge contract is not going to win many awards. But such is the nature of that kind of contract.

4) since he was so clever and put one over on DePodesta to get that opt out clause, why does it matter?

It's entirely possible that of the four not-good pitchers (Odalis, Hendrickson, Seo, and Elmer) Colletti traded away the two best, got back the two worst, and paid each of the other teams for the privilege.
