And in the Yahoo draft game - most of my points where benched (cuz I freaked out about the Fla/Atl headline today that said washed out -- thanks for that one, "good ol'" ESPN!). ...but at least I didn't pick the Marlins PS (-9) in some fake double header And one more whine... not only did Mo blow the win for the Yanks, he blew my Pettitte's W points! [/whine] [cheese] Speaking of Yahoo... seems I lost my (disappointing) BJ for a bit - but my Wang should be back soon! $\:D$ I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy?

He makes comments that require us to actually learn stuff. Such a nerd. Oh, Bethie, it's always Astros first. As long as they're winning, I'm happy. $\:\)$ Actually, I was just trying to convince Brad Ausmus that I was rooting for him because of personal wishes first, then business...but that I would be especially glad if he got me some points tonight. I think he understands.

Oh, yes, I still enjoy Stats! Assuming you meant the class...baseball stats are always my favorite, though. haha Most recently we have done chi-square tests, which are a lot of fun now that I have all the calculator stuff figured out. Our teacher always has us learn how to work out the problems on our own, then he gives us the TI-83 shortcuts. I think it does help us to eventually understand everything better, but I always get confused in the intial transition from paper to calculator. I guess I should be grateful I don't have to work everything out by hand.

Girls Schmirls. I just want to win. And I'm embarrassed that it took me a few games to realize that I couldn't submit my lineup the morning of the game , but then again when do men ever read the directions or rules.
