Five great things about baseball:
The complete game shutout
The 5-4-3 double play
The knockdown pitch
The suicide squeeze
The sacrifice fly


This is the stuff I like. Not that you’ll see a whole lot of it on SportsCenter, among all of the home runs, slam dunks, and coverage of Michael Vick’s amusing off-the-field endeavors. What a bunch of putzes.

THE SAFETY SQUEEZE IS FOR PANSIES

Recent purchases:
Double Stacker and medium Dr. Pepper from Burger King
Eraser Head DVD (2000 remastered edition)
Two 20-pound dumbbells from Dick’s Sporting Goods
Small Cincinnati Bengals black women’s short-sleeve shirt *
$33.57 worth of regular gas for Honda Accord
6-pack of Sam Adams Boston Lager

* - purchased as a gift; ‘black’ is used to qualify ‘shirt’, not ‘women’

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: THE ADHESIVE END OF A STAMP CONTAINS 1/10 OF A CALORIE

Finally, a list of really cool insects:
Walking stick; Hercules beetle; Praying mantis; Cicada killer wasp; Water strider (a.k.a. Jesus bug); Dragonfly
