Neither do most of my students...

That's actually sad.

 

I have to say ... and I know this is a really trite answer ... but the book I go back and read over and over and over again is 'Pride and Prejudice.' I think I first read it when I was 14 or 15 ... and I still reread it every few years.

.... Donald J. Trump

Don't go there! No politics in game threads!

 

 

(I'm serious ... that was the moderator hat speaking ... sorry ... but really, don't go there.)

i don't think Garver's a realistic option at 1st, which is why I don't think we see him there.

 

Noted baseball and shirtlessness expert Brad Pitt says playing 1st base isn't hard...

Then again, Ron Washington disagrees, so congratulations, you're the tie breaker. No 'sauce at first.

It's a product of poverty and having a ton of ENL students (English as a new language). My big initiative this year is independent reading. Took all my classes to the library and the kids were actually pumped to pick out books to read. Even kids that I thought would be resistant we excited to pick out books to read. Definitely a challenge, but by the end of the year kids reading at a 3rd/4th grade level are reading at a 6th/7th grade level, writing well, and for the most part, moving onto 10th grade ELA.

Blech, I can't see Stewart staying on the 40 man roster over the offseason. He's not going to cut it as a starter or reliever on the MLB level - he can't get outs in the minor leagues, how's he going to do it in the majors?

That’s awesome. I would have thrived that way. Choosing my own reading materials.

You leave Gibson in for 93 pitches, but take out Stashak after 3 ... ?
 

 

That's a biological limitation of how long he can be away from caves or swamps.
