Around SBN: Notre Dame's Turnaround: How Have The Irish Done It?

60-42

"Have you seen Greenberg's dong?"

The 6-9 in the lineup was:

Murphy

Arias

Moreland

Teagarden

And yet, after winning this series, the Rangers are now up 8 1/2 games in the West. No worries.

That’s right, 1st time with a .500 record at home in over 3000 games.

I think a lot of people

will eat their words with Moreland. He didn’t swing at bad pitches, but it will be interesting to see if he or Davis is sent down. It would be hard to send the rookie down after 1 day and the night he had.

don't you lose an option anyway if he doesn't go back down for the rest of the year

no, the study was about how they aged.

Apparently back in the day it was cool to get a mold of your face done. The history channel was able to create recreations of how some of the presidents looked before and after they were in office and it showed how much they aged. I was just saying I think Bush looks healthier now.

Also

Bush had one of the most stressful presidencies in a long time. Most stressful since Nixon? and even that wasn’t 8 years. Not sure if there has been a Presidency that was so stressful that lasted that long. Grant? Not sure he really cared enough.
