You know what's a joke, Burke? The fact that you are 1) a Rays fan, 2) you like The Old 97s, and 3) you blamed Middlebrooks for purposefully obstructing Craig. You live in St. Pete and went to USF? Good for you; you're still down by 1.

I read ya, D. I think our diffs are a matter of degree and not kind. LOL

You're right, D — thanks for the reminder/fact-check.

Holy shit, don't do this to me!

At the risk of belaboring the point —

Wow, Bricken — you're coming around.

This has been my counter-complaint to the "Why are they so stupid?" camp; but why stop there? Even peeps with adequate sleep, proper nutrition, and a reasonable amount of security (of any sort) will engage in boneheaded decision-making, have lapses of sanity, will be greedy and shortsighted and irrational, or just…
