I am dismayed to find so many baseball haters here. They are swarming out of the walls like cockroaches in an old tenement. As Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss said the other day, "Let the haters keep on hating." I for one won't put up with it another minute--I'm outta here! Till I come back later to post my workout, that is. Edited to add: It's great to see Econo again! Dark Horse

<snore,> uh? …oh…sorry. All this talk about baseball just made me doze off for a moment. Good one, Dave. As a hockey fan you’ll appreciate this: my suggestion for improving baseball: after a hit, batters get to keep the bat to help them make it past the defenders on each base. No stopping on bases; you must try to make it home every time. There may be a need for additional padding on infielders. Half-hour, 45 minutes tops, game’s over. (Dicky, can’t we work in some rasslin’ too?) Hi, Enke, Erika, Roy, Mary, Carolyn, Holly, lamerunner…..gettin’ crowded over here in the corner. Econo! Hi there!

Tramps, in reference to your spider web problem: wasn't there someone on CR who talked about carrying a stick while running through the woods to whack spider webs?

Tom—yeah, when I walk this trail I carry a stick because I can spot the web in time and pull it down. When running, though, I feel the webs hit me before I even see them, so in running I’d have to be constantly waving a stick ahead of me like some raving lunatic. [insert joke here] In fact, I don’t run this trail often and the problem is only during certain times of the year. I just made a passing reference to it and Wildchild, Enke, Ribs and other bullies on this site decided to pile on at my expense. This is a good lesson for Cheffy though. (Welcome, by the way!) Those people who greet you nicely now will turn on you like a pack of wolves if given the chance. Beware. (Not me, of course.)

..glad that we don't grow spiders that big here in CO!

Et tu, Mtnchk? (sigh) </snore,>

this just keeps getting better. hi Tramps! I'm here too. we almost have enough for a .... oh, never mind.

no kidding. It's football season afterall and I see no football talk whatsoever.

The daily is a riot today! If only the people who don't like political or religious discussions could go stand nicely in a corner together instead of complaining and stomping off in a huff...They could learn something from us baseball haters! I know better than to run when its 78 degrees out, but I have to go grocery shopping after work, so I went at lunchtime for 5.5 very hot, slow miles. There's very little shade to be found at noon in east Denver - all hot, grassy open fields, and where there are trees, they don't cast much shadow at noon. I was running on a dirt trail, and at about mile 2 I tripped on a rock and fell. Luckily I landed in the grass next to the trail. I ran "topless" (just for you, Tim! ) so when I fell, I got grass seeds stuck all over my sweaty side. Now I'm kind of itchy. For the last mile I resorted to Teresa's 1-minute run, 1-minute walk, and it helped.

actually, we haven't had a good hottub party here in a LONG time, so I say all who hate baseball, and want to avoid religion and politics should join me in the hottub

Sorry Tramps, you snuck in there too.
