When I graduated high school that was the route that I wanted to take. Being honest, I was a terrible ****ing student in hs. Couldn't have given one less of a shit about my grades. Managed to somehow get into EIU (not exactly Harvard) and my dad forced me to go there. He wouldn't let me stay home and go to CC because he said I would be miserable there like I was in hs and wanted me to get a full "college experience". Since the start of college my grades have never been close to what they are now so everything worked out.

Looking back now I am pretty happy about that. I'm pretty happy at E. Illinois, all things considered.. not the greatest school, campus, athletic programs, or really anything but it's a great time. I want to transfer to KU after this next spring, but we'll see on that. Don't know if it would be totally worth it.

I bought a new royals hat the day of the first Yankee game. I need to toss the ****er.

Twins lose, Tigers and Sox tied in extras.

I got nothin other than we better start deploying the:

get em on, get em over and get em in offense, because this is an absolute abortion right now.

Wasn't trying to be. Was just pointing out that the sky isn't falling. We're in a huge slump, yes, but they'll pull out of it and because of the fast start, we're in great shape for when they pull out of it.

[jimidollar]

Remember that time we were 7-0? That was awesome.

[cosmo20002]

I'll be at Sunday's game and I'm telling you right now that I won't stand for this shit.
They better get their heads out of their asses or be prepared for some severe facepalms and disgusted muttering.

28-14 was pretty cool too.

[C3HIEF3S]

Sox have runners on corners with no outs.

EDIT: 10th inning

EDIT EDIT: 11th inning, actually

And I didn't say the sky was falling. Every critical post here is assumed to be OH NOES THE SEASON IZ OVAH, when it isn't. It simply is what it is -- lets hope this is as bad as this slump gets and it doesn't continue tomorrow and the next day, because it's frustrating to watch a team that isn't hitting.

Christ, everyone is so sensitive to overreaction that they overreact themselves.

After 40 ****ing years of following the Royals I don't need to be ****ing lectured on how to follow a ****ing baseball season, bunch of ****ers.
