1. I think today should be "brianS Droid Auto-correct Day", but that would be totally instability.

   1. Heh. My percocet thinks you are funny.

2. Had to see this coming.

   1. So, this is proof that joe doesn't just hit singles.

      1. Depends, fraternal or identical.

         1. What's the difference? Banging one off the wall for a solid double compared to hitting a single and reaching second on a throwing error?

            1. One is a double and the other is two singles.

               1. Based on his history, I'm guessing we already know which it will be.

               2. That's why I'm confused, cause you can't have two singles in one at-bat.

                  1. Second base awarded on an interference call?

                     1. I am pretty sure he got past second base.

                     2. I believe that would still be scored as one single in the AB with a one base error, no? I'm trying to say it is impossible to officialy acquire two hits in on PA, while it is possible to acquire two fetuses in one BA (bed appearance).

                        I might be over-thinking this.

                        1. Who's saying it was a single AB?

                           1. That's what I refrained from saying all day long.

                           2. Is it possible for one egg to be fertilized in one session, then another in a separate session? If that can happen, then I've been arguing from a position of biological ignorance.

                           3. Cheap, I believe it can happen. Because I am pretty sure it's biologically possible for a woman to have fraternal twins with two different fathers.

                           4. Well I'll be damned. Per the repository, its called Superfecundation.

                              In that case, please everyone forget anything I have added to this conversation.

         2. Bilateral.

   2. Not sure where to go:
      1. This is so much better than Tom Brady, whose child was born a traitor.
      2. Good thing he never married that princess, or he'd've needed a trade to KC.
      3. Washington Pro Football team joke.

   3. Should have drafted [redacted].

   4. Will he name them Minnie and Paul?

      1. No, he'll go with "Head" and "Shoulders."

         1. "Bilateral" and "Leg"

            1. Single 1
               Single 2

            2. I hear he named the dog "Souhan".

               1. I assumed he named the dog Barreiro

3. There are a few SBG fantasy baseball notes:

   Two teams are currently unclaimed; the Madison Muskies and the Tricycle Frogs. If these are you teams, please join the league or let me know that you want to drop out. My email is robzk at the yahoo.

   Second, the survey for stat categories will be closing tomorrow, and we don't have enough votes to change the categories yet. If you want to weigh in on this and haven't, please vote! The survey link is on the league homepage.

   1. D'oh, I totally forgot about the survey. Sorry about that. Anyway, done.

      1. No worries.

   2. Those are CH's and DK's teams I believe.

      1. I can confirm the Muskies are CH's team, unless there's another Madison based WGOM'er I don't know about.

      2. I have heard back from DK and he is rejoining the league. I have an email out to CH, so hopefully we can get everything set for keeper selection.

         1. I heard back from CH and he's going to sit this year out. If there is anyone interested in taking over his team, let me know by the end of the day (address above). Otherwise, I'll scrap the team and we can move forward with the stat categories and keeper selections.

            1. i wouldn't be too upset if we didn't fill that spot. another team just makes the bottom of the barrel deeper when in need of FAs.

            2. And it's filled. Welcome, Can of Corn, to our league!

            3. when are keepers going to be due?

4. oh fer the love of...
   cover your eyes
   Adidas Zubaz basketball uniforms

   1. I had to stifle a legitimate "lol." These are incredible/terrible.

   2. Are you sure that's not an April Fool's joke that was released too early? Yeesh.

   3. oy.

5. even if found to be untrue, this case should probably still go forward.

   1. Related (though not as funny), the NYTimes has an interesting video in which a guy compares posted calorie counts with actual calorie counts for a variety of foods. Turns out some of the posted calorie counts are significantly lower than the actual calories.

      1. I am a big believer in Subway sandwiches. Not the bad ones, the good ones. My go to is the whole wheat chicken breast 6" no cheese: lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, green peppers, jalapenos, mustard and black pepper. I like it and it's low fat and low calories. Probably about 380 calories. A bag of apples and a diet soda. Lunch.

         1. I'm with you there. I prefer the 6" turkey and cheese with green peppers and lettuce, and I save on calories by only topping with pepper and a shot of vinegar. Diet soda, but I can't eat raw apples (allergy) so I choose a low-fat chips selection.

         2. As long as your blood pressure is good, Subway's not a bad option. But the sodium content is higher than you might think. Not through the roof high like, say, Chipotle, but still up there, especially in the cold cuts, turkey and tuna. I've been getting the low-sodium turkey breast at Target and making my own sandwiches for lunch lately. I'm also trying to avoid the diet Dr. Pepper, drinking iced tea at home with just one soda a day at lunch. And yes to fruit, lots of fruit. Apples, oranges, grapes, and bananas mostly.

            1. I've actually reviewed the sodium content and cut out the banana peppers because they didn't do much for me, except add sodium. Of the fast food options, it's the best. I have been buying low sodium turkey at Costco for my daily non-fast food meals.

            2. i just can't get into eating any substantial amount of fruit. i have no interest in it. i'll destroy a mess of vegetables, but can't bring myself to eat an apple.

               1. I have the opposite problem. I think you win in terms of healthiness.

                  1. yeah, at my last physical, the doctor said something to the effect of, "well, if you're going to pick just one..."

   2. To have a lab confirm that Bud just tastes watered down is fantastic.

6. I love ambulance chasing lawyer adverts.
   "if you or someone you know have experienced sudden cardiac death...."

   1. I'm up late most nights and I usually watch bad TV while putzing around on my computer or doing homework or whatever. All of those 1-800-BAD-DRUG commercials are the most horrible, frightening things. The scary music they use? Some of the procedures they are asking about ("transvaginal mesh" doesn't sound terribly pleasant for example)... man. I imagine they get a lot of calls, too. Awful, awful.

      1. trans-what now?

         1. he's making it up

            1. I've talked to some vaginas, and they've never heard of it.

   2. I chuckled yesterday at a billboard for this Friday's release of "The Last Exorcism: Part 2." The subtitle should be, "No, this time it really is the last one."

      1. They just forgot to tell the rest of the story.

         1. Where's Paul Harvey when you need him?

7. holy crap!

   1. Love the barrel roll-jump to his feet at the end.

      1. I still can't see how he did that. I hope Revere was taking notes, 'cause that rocked

   2. That's just fun to watch.

8. Next thing you know they'll be making sure the fat-free frozen yogurt is really fat free.

   1. Crazy, right? You should ask hj what he thinks about it.

9. Twins doing well in today's game. And LEWWWW sighting. Now if we can teach May to throw strikes...

   1. Despite May, Twins pitchers had 7 Ks and 4 BBs. O's pitchers had 3 Ks and 5 BBs. Really nice to see Hendriks do well. I think a lot of people had given up on him prematurely.

      1. I still like DeVries

10. If anyone is going to be the first back to hit 2K twice, it isn't going to be Chris Johnson.

11. Good grief.

12. good news: I'll be able to actually watch the Wolves game tonight a brief rundown what happened Tuesday
    bad news: they are playing the Lakers so it will be a 35 point blowout

13. Looks like the school down the street is poaching off some A10 programs and screwing over GW. At least the U had the decency to let NDSU play (and beat) them in football a few times unlike the big DC bully who is too chicken to play anyone (not only GW, but they also have been ducking College Park Community College for a couple of decades).

    1. Too chicken to play anyone? In their current win streak they've beaten the #24, #5, #18 and #8 ranked teams. Their non-conference games included the #1, #10 and #11 ranked teams (#11 was cancelled). And they played American, so they went for a local team too. You're just trying to pick a fight here, aren't you?

       Also, my uncle teaches at Xavier, and until I went to GULC, they were my team. Nice to see 'em moving up to the big leagues. 😉

14. the Minnesota Wild are playing Phoenix tonight. The Wild are in second place in the NW division Phoenix is last in the Pacific, yet the Coyotes have more points. oof

    also, the Wild are dead last in the NHL in goals scored with 39. eeek

    1. and just as I hit 'send' the Wild score a goal. neat

       1. Goals for everybody!

15. Twolves are the Walking Dead.
