Did I say anything about "reading". :wink:

Quickly, and I know off topic, I was a wizard in school doing a book report without reading the book. Here's how:

Take some excerps from the flap on the side of the book. Throw in a tid bit about the author, also on the flap. Open the book to the middle and use what appears to be a good quote from the book. Use good connecting words, such as "In addition to", "Furthermore", etc. Lastly, write as neatly as you can. Good legible penmanship can turn a 'C' into a 'B' easily. So there you go, Jeep's theory on doing book reports w/o reading the book. :lol:

P.S. Don't tell your kids this. :wink:

Meanwhile on the ballfield, it appears Kev is the only one working real hard at an even record. He's the only team within 3 games of .500 either side of .500. :wink:

I didn't think I could take the series from the tough Swedes team last night. Missed an op to get within a game of Tyber.

Jeep, I appreciate you calling out my mediocrity! :D
Oh, by the way, I dropped out of school after the 5th grade. I completely avoided book reports altogether! For some reason, I got the nickname....Jethro. Not sure who that is.....but it seemed rude!!

Yeah those were some ferocious line-ups I had going lastnight. :roll:

I avoided having to use Jo-Bob lastnight though...He was pretty pissed too since he brought his best pair of $hit kickers to work with him lastnight. :shock:

Wow! This league is really not turning out like I figured it would. I was expecting, with the veteran talent assembled here, that we'd just be beating up on each other and we'd all be pretty close to .500 but that is just not the case. Look at the East for example, the only division with all the teams being .500 or better and we're still trailing AF's team by 10 games! That is just a trip! :shock: I mean who'd have thunk that a league where we all are playing in almost the same stadiums that the division leaders would have such chokeholds on first place?!

Tyber you're exactly right. That continues to amaze me.

Meanwhile, I'm losing a lot of close games. Gotta get back to winning some series consistently.

Dang! Let one slip away lastnight. Ugh! I hate blown saves. :x

Well Tyber you didn't let [b:9895fff959]any[/b:9895fff959] games slip away last night, and since my over all record for my teams last night was 8-13, this team like all the others lost 2 of 3. I'm not a happy camper today. :cry:
