Around SBN: Doug Flutie's Hail Mary, And Why College Sports Matter

Open Thread - World Series Game 2

In the ALCS, the Tampa Bay Rays dropped game 1 to the Red Sox, 2-0. In the second contest, the team's offense woke up, winning 9-8 in the first volley of what was eventually a 7-game series victory. After last night's close contest that saw the Rays vanquished 3-2 by the Phillies, they are looking again for the same Game Two magic. Taking the mound for the Rays will be James Shields, who sported a 14-8 record and 3.56 ERA, as well as a 4:1 strikeout/walk ratio in the regular season. He will be opposed by the Phils' Brett Myers, who was inconsistent in the 2008 campaign, muddling through to a 10-13 record and 4.55 ERA.

Game time is 5:29 Pacific Time. Try not to fill up the thread before first pitch.

I was invited to Iowa again next week.

I giggle whenever someone mentions Iowa.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

They want to negotiate release terms

You know, those Iowans can be cold as a falling thermometer in December when you ask about the weather in July

I once watched the movie "Madagascar" with 2-yr-old kid I was babysitting

who promptly got up and danced around the room when “I like to move it move it” started playing. It was pretty awesome.

I nodded knowingly.

Then I smiled.

We were watching the Ryan Howard commercial and my dad asks me

“Do you notice anything weird about this commercial?”

My mom takes one look at Ryan Howard and blurts out “I got it! He looks like Ken Griffey Jr.!”

(it was really that RHo was in his away uni and you could tell that the bit was filmed at Shea in the Mets dugout)

I just read an ad for an apartment that said:

“Good reverences required.”

LOL.

I once had a person call to tell me they couldn't come in for an interview they'd scheduled because they were too stoned

That's a good point

I told her that I’d call her back if we wanted to reschedule.

In college I once had to pretend to be a certain religion to get an apartment I wanted.

Probably going to hell for that.
