The fast and the furious

So, when you are almost the only teacher at school and you need to download some videos, you get between 2 and 3 MB/sec. Rock on!

The (curse of the) billy-goat is getting furiously busy lately. I already mentioned the injury to Alfonso Soriano a few posts ago. Well, the Brewers, who lead the Cubs by 1 game, are in a free fall, so to keep the Cubs out of the play-offs at this point, he's had to go into overdrive. So, instead of calling up our stud outfielder to replace Soriano, we call up someone else who does almost identically the same thing, just not as good (batting about .060 worse). Then, our stud third-baseman, who's leadin the team in RBIs, hurts his hand and has been/will be missing some games. Then, another outfielder goes down, so we finally bring up our stud outfielder, Felix Pie. In last night's game, who do we play against the rightie Roy Oswalt? Neither of the two lefties we just brought up (that would make sense), but the right-handed-hitting Matt Murton, who can't hit right-handed pitching. *sigh* Oh yeah, and our ace gave up 7 earned runs in 5.1 innings. Now we got to Colorado, which has won like 9 or its last 10 home games...

I think it would be really cool if I could somehow title my next post The cast(e) and the curious. Then maybe The bass and the laborious. The past and the pore-eous??? Maybe The last and the laborious. The sass and the soreness? I'll shut up now...
