Fifteen minutes before game two of the World Series and all I could think about all day when I thought of the opener was 100 miles per hour. Jenks, the closer for the White Sox, threw three or four fastballs in a row all at 100 miles per hour in the ninth last night. Tonight, it's overcast and 45°F or 7°C in Chicago. I wonder if the lads from Texas who play inside are going to be able to take seeing their breath again.

Plus he eats 250 lbs of sunflower seeds a game. How the hell do you shell sunflower seeds in your mouth anyway?<p>Hey!

Wool and fitted so I need to know if you are 7 5/8ths or 8 1/4 - that sort of thing.

i'm guessing around 15 inches, sort of a pumpkin size but i'll measure. should i add some, i mean what if my head swells up?

I think you might also consider whether you might get a haircut thus decreasing your hat capacity needs by 37%.

it's usually way short. i let anybody cut it taking the postion that i'm so ugly that a good haircut isn't going to finally put me over the top. cheaper and shorter the better. and 37%? - wow, what was i sporting when i last saw you? and next time you come to portland we'll go up to congress street to this place where theres this guy that gives 3 minute haircuts or its free. he's quite good.
