Probably, yes. Because I’m not confident about signing a quality SP in the off-season.

From the standpoint of cheering for him for so long. But that sentimentality turned to hatred fairly quickly after I saw how he treated ATL.

Where the seedy protagonist in the novel writes a check at a store, and the proprietor considers whether to just go ahead and tape it to the side of the cash register right then, with the rest of the returned checks, to cut out the middle man.

Pynchon

I liked the Crying of Lot 49. Vineland was like Anchorman, in that there were some really excellent parts, and yet it wasn’t all that great as a whole. V was neat.

Gravity’s Rainbow, I don’t know what to say about…it wasn’t even like reading a book. It was like some other sort of artistic/literary-like experience, and I’m still not sure it was worth the effort to get through, although I can admire the intricacy and work that went into it.

Crop the chick out.

Rotate her right arm up about 140 degree (counter clockwise)

Then flip her from one frame to the next.

On the side of this flipping image, add text to each frame.

“Let’s”
“Go”
“Ran-”
“gers”

Just means they’d better win tomorrow.
