I believe

the main difference is Dish offeres some XXX for a monthly sub fee, whereas D only does 90 minute blocks.

so if you just cant get enough and want porn daily… Dish is the way to go.

if you like sports, and dont need the constant porn… D*..

Correct

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Wells

Randy David Wells (born August 28, 1982 in Belleville, Illinois) is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. Wells spent his career in the Chicago Cubs farm system from 2003 to 2007 before being claimed in the Rule 5 Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays before the 2008 season. Wells made the opening day roster and made his debut on April 5, 2008, against the Boston Red Sox and pitched a scoreless inning. It was his only appearance for the Blue Jays because he was designated for assignment on April 10, 2008. Wells was returned back to the Cubs organization on April 16, and was assigned to the Triple-A Iowa Cubs. 1 On September 9, 2008, the Cubs placed Jon Lieber on the 60-day DL and called up Wells to replace him on the roster.2 After spring training in 2009, he was returned to the Iowa Cubs.3 Wells was called up to the Cubs active roster on May 5, 2009 in place of the injured Carlos Zambrano. 4 He made his first start on May 9 against the Milwaukee Brewers and struck out five batters in five scoreless innings, but despite leaving the game with a 2-0 lead, the Cubs’ bullpen gave up three runs and eventually lost 3-2. 5

Helpful batting hint #56:

When the pitcher has thrown 11 consecutive breaking balls….expect him to keep throwing breaking balls.

up and down
round and round
high and low

and the ride continues
the music never stops
except to let the new passengers board
does the ride lead to a destination?
or are we simply spinning in endless circles?

Hoffpauir looks so stupid sometimes
