Walk on water... just fine

Walk across the street... not so much

You just can't make this stuff up

Gov't at work

Happened upon a show on CNBC tonight called American Greed. They were highlighting a case from a few years ago about sisters that ran a distribution company & had a contract with the government to supply parts to Irag & Afghanistan. They would send out screws, washers, and the like, then charge exorbitant amounts for shipping costs. Once they marked the item as priority, the government would pay instantly and without oversight.

They were finally caught when they shipped 2 .19 cent washers at a cost of almost 1 million dollars... That's when someone noticed something was wrong! 6 years later!

Again I ask, do we really need the government taking over things like healthcare? I really can't think of a less wasteful entity than big government. Holy crap, George Washington has stopped simply rolling over in his grave... he's in full centrifuge spin.

Braun's Home v. Away

They just showed Ryan's home/road splits for this year, which clearly favor hitting on the road in the first month. I know a few people who find this concerning for some reason.

Here are Braun's career splits, showing that he's a great hitter no matter where he steps in the box. Considering who does the official scoring at MP, I'm not surprised to see a lower BA at home.

Just goes to prove baseball is a long season and, more often than not, things even out in the end.
