Agree on that, disagree on the Flames. Substitute this one instead:

Now imagine one of them in a Speedo running on the treadmill and you slowly realize he's going straight into the pool with the sweaty speedo still on- "shower? dude I'm training for the Iron Man no time to stop."

I never shower before using the pool. Why bother, the chemicals will kill anything nasty. Or gnarly.

Since this week has gotten off to "dorkiest start ever" on the FB, did anybody see Franconeur's two outfield assists yesterday (both on Luis Gonzalez)? Unreal. He had to charge hard on a weird angle (both singles were towards the line and pretty slow rolling), and he came up and made absolutely perfect throws -- two of the best throws I've ever seen a RF make, and this from a guy who used to sit behind 3d base at Exhibition Stadium and watch Jesse Barfield gun down 15 guys a year trying to go from 1st-3d on a single. Franconeur has 8 outfield assists in something like 25 games in the majors this year. Move over Vlad.

Doesn't beat this:

I can't tell. Is that for real?

And the reason there are numbers on the jerseys are so you know who the players are -- if you have numbers, there is no need for a name.

What, are you a scorecard salesman?

Seriously. Screw you NotBob - I like having the names on the jerseys. I hate the "who's that?" and I hate having to look crap up all the time.

Well, you can't tell the players without a scorecard.

Like I said, I'm more flexible on this one, but I appreciate the old school look.

Amen, brother. And the reason there are numbers on the jerseys are so you know who the players are -- if you have numbers, there is no need for a name. I am a bit more flexible on this one, but appreciate seeing this look -- the Cubs just returned to this, I think, with their white home jerseys.

The Yankees, curse them, have it right.

I wonder if they have numbers on the uniforms for this:


Indian Man Takes Yoga Title

A computer programmer and part-time yoga instructor has won the title of the first "Yogalympics." Vridhay Ganguly, of Calcutta, narrowly defeated Sri Lankan Sourav Dravid in a sudden death pose-off after tying in the timed events. "I would have thought my competitor would not be hindered by a simple Matsyasana," Ganguly said, "but competition can make concentration difficult. This is a great victory for me. I feel very serene."

Competive yoga is a new but rapidly growing sport throughout Southern Asia, and it's popularity is spreading. American David Hackfeld finished 19th.

I'm stunned. Speechless.

And the yoga thing is interesting too.

So, has anyone ever heard the phrase "strength in depth"? It doesn't really make much sense to me, but this British guy on my desk is insisting that it is correctly used in an e-mail he sent out.

Everyone but the British guy says it should be "lack of strength" or "lack of depth" or "lack of strength and depth". The British guy even came to me before he sent out his e-mail to ask if I've heard the phrase. I said I hadn't, but he may want to google it.

(At least the UK dude knows I'm the answer man.)

What is it supposed to convey? Weakness?
