I can't even get a job WASHING CARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're still interested next spring, maybe Kinzler can walk in your resume after his boss gets to know him.

That makes us... the bizarro cubs?

 

At least we kept it close.

 

And the Mets are fighting for a wild card birth.

547: "my life is endless trouble.

But you, Achilles,

There's not a man in the world more

Blest than you -

There never has been, never will be one.

Time was, when you were alive, we Argives

Honored you as a god, and now down here, I see,

You lord it over the dead in all your power.

So grieve no more at dying, great Achilles.

 

I reassured the ghost, but he broke out, protesting,

No winning words about death to me, shining Odysseus,

By god, I'd rather slave on earth to another man -

Some dirt-poor tenant farmer who scrapes to stay alive -

Than rule down here over all the breathless dead.

 

(Odyssey, book 11, Fagles transl.)

 

Yet again, Homer has the answers to everything.

I much prefer Lattimore though
