You better continue...

to post “bleah” gameday thread ’til the Rangers lose.

It may just be the reason for the first sweep (3 games) of the season.

that it is saying that instead of having to hold those keys down in that sequence you can turn “Sticky Keys” on and press and release them one at a time

Yup...

at least we signed Grella for center mid. We still need a right winger and right back during this transfer window though. There had been rumors of Joaquin for the right wing spot, but seems we aren’t willing to meet Valencia’s price tag.

If Matt Harrison gets 2.2 innings and the LSB Community uses the same standards (130 AB’s or 50 IP), then the next time the Rangers’ prospects are ranked here, Harrison will no longer qualify.

Was watching the Phils/Mets game last night and cruised over to the Phillies’ SBN site to see what they had to say about the game and could not believe the inactivity over there for a team battling for first. I’m sure they have another site that those fans go to but I couldn’t find it anywhere.

then he shut up and never posted again.

it was an experiment

My buddy’s sister was in town, and we started talking about how much I love doughnuts. So we tried to come up with an even less healthy food. The result was doughnut casserole.

Then it became a mission, of sorts, to make this abomination. So I went to the store and got some supplies.

Here’s how I made it:
1) Mix chocolate pudding with brownie batter.
2) Pour that mess in a casserole dish.
3) Put 3 doughnuts (all that would fit) into the dish, pressing them into the goo.
4) Cookie dough crust on top, of course!
5) Bake until cookie crust is cooked.
6) Cool, eat, and pray.

It was actually pretty damn good…but really really rich and sickening if more than 3 bites are ingested.
