Pittsburgh Pirates @ Los Angeles Dodgers GameThread, Apr 14, 2008 7:10 PM PDT

I was talking to my coworkers about not doing my taxes yet and getting the usual "your an idiot responses". A couple minutes later, I grab a fortune cookie and get the fortune "you have recently shown poor judgement". Who the hell writes that on a fortune cookie.

One of my Professors Said

That fortune cookies aren't reliable indicators of future events because they never give bad fortunes. Turns out that has (somewhat) changed.

Assuming Kuroda can't field or hit (I'm not actually assuming that, at least about the fielding) how much does that hurt his value?

I Think Steiner Just Unleashed A Veiled Criticism at Drew

As he said "there are certain players will sit out if they have a headache," and he said it in such a tone that it sounded like he was referring to somebody who was or is on the team, and I just figured it was Drew.
