Fox's infield

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings.

The British have two different versions,
A adult version and a child’s version. The set of British books I have are the child’s version, and their covers are MUCH more colourful than the American books.

She's not actually on the covers
Take her image off those postage stamps, and that’s what their covers look like. Much nicer than our books.
I got “Deathly Hallows” in softcover a month after it came out, it was a little hard to track down.
Each book shows, at the back, the covers of all the other “Harry Potter” children’s books in the UK.

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

Awesome
Is there a story behind that?
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end"
Just a google image search.
A Navy Seal actually.

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

Co-players, I agree.

It's great to see what a leadoff hitter looks like.

from the land of the 9.75% sales tax :-(

So low!
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end"
and when you buy a flat screen TV now, there is a $50 surcharge
for disposing of the old TV whether you are disposing of an old TV or not. Looks like TV sales in LA are about to dry up (so much for the slow economy hurting sales, right)

I was at Costco today picking up a prescription.
the bitching in line was intense

I was being serious.
12.25% here in Chicago. No joke.
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end"
But that $50 thing is Mayor Daily level redic.
OUCH.
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end"
depending on what you buy it can be higher right?
I could have sworn the coke I bought had a 15% sales tax. I know the receipt was itemized for tax based on what I bought.

Yeah.
Gas is bad, we have some of the highest cigarette prices in the country… on and on and on.

sales tax? really.
no wonder my dad continues to live in the suburbs. :-)

Fuld!
Apparently, it is legal to put a player in the grass portion of the field behind 3d and SS that hustles. Who knew?

love this
I’ll put it very politely…you can trust me that I’ve played at levels much higher than you might otherwise believe. You may not like my criticism but you cannot question my resume. I suggest you leave it at that.

Nice game.
Everybody feels good on the flight home, and we can start the home stand happy.
Keep Fuld leading off tomorrow, and let’s do this again.
