I take one tablet everyday and my wife says she’s never smelled garlic on me. Now, I will have the occasional “garlic burps” after taking one. Taste like you just had a whole plate of pasta with sauce. Will say that since taking the tablet everyday for the past 2-1/2 yrs, my occurrence of colds has gone done drastically.

I’m watching both. So far they haven’t done anything to get me to turn the TV off. They’re high-brow, season-long concepts. I’ll judge it at season’s end.

Eh, I’ve been a fan forever, but the only reason I wasn’t “surprised” was because of math. The odds of winning a game against the Yankees with only two runs on the board is minimal. Add in the fact that they were long overdue for some homers and the result in the ninth was kind of expected.
That said, once Ibanez hit his first homer I knew the game was over for a far less scientific reason — because losing in extras to the Yankees in a critical playoff game is the most Orioles thing possible.

Eh, disagree. The Orioles lost that game because Jones misplayed a fly ball and Baltimore fields the greatest collection of undisciplined hitters ever assembled on a playoff team. Its not fair to ask your pitching staff to hold the best hitting team in baseball to one or two runs a night. Granted, Johnson made a bad pitch to a one dimensional hitter, but he never should have been on the mound.
14 runs in 7 games. Weiters, Jones and Hardy a combined 4-for-37. Their offense cost them a chance at the ACLS, not the pitching.

Somewhere there’s a joke about Ohio State’s Medical Center being named after the Victoria’s Secret owner, but I’ve not had enough coffee.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
Mole,
i understand the image of the school right now, but it’s still a great education. Why’d you take it off your resume?
October 11th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
The last time I got sick? 1988.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
I am loving that it is such a knock on Taylor Swift.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
I stayed up til after 1 a.m. to watch that idiot blow the game. I’m tired and grumpy.
No idea why he changed his routine, but whatever.
I’m not confident, even with Verlander pitching. A’s have all the momentum and that place, full of the weirdest fucking fans in baseball, will be crazier than a psych ward on No Straightjacket Day.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
Ten years ago I never would have guessed that out of the Spin City crew, Connie Britton would have shot past Heather Locklear and Jennifer Esposito. Man I loved cranking it to that show, primarily because of Richard Kind.

Mayo Clinic > Ambulance.
woah, woah, woah. Back off the ambulance. She’s a sexy beast
Fine, fine. Ambulance > Mayo Clinic. The point is they have as much to do with each other as Costco and Wal-Mart do.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
If I can be honest, that’s just stupid.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
But he did hire Boras so you know Illitch will give him 15 million a year now…
Pretty sure the fans will revolt if Illitch brings him back. But yeah, some dumbass team will give him $20+ million for 3 years.
Why are you calling the Dodgers’ brain trust “dumbass”? Just because they’re throwing money at the problem until it goes away??
October 11th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
makes sense since Victoria’s secret was her dick.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
that’s like JMac comparing costco to walmart. Yes, let’s compare the 45 year old redhead to the 23 year old blonde..

The law school wasn’t PSU until the last decade. The Dickinson School of Law is Pennsylvania’s oldest law school, for those in the legal community in the state that name carries as much weight as the PSU name does. There’s been a lot of chatter amongst HR people of PSU grads getting the chop in application processes, and PSU is pushing hard in their alumni letters for people to urge their bosses to treat PSU applicants fairly. Cutting out the middle man.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
This is a brilliant marketing campaign. Bravo, ASU.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:25 AM
Yeah, I’d be crazy pissed if I was a Tigers fan this morning.
Are there any unhittible closers left in the majors anymore? Kimbrel? It just seems like they’re all vulnerable.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:25 AM
Let me stop you there
For now, I agree. I don’t know if the same will be true in a year or two though.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
Meh. For the most part I’m not applying for jobs that even hit on my legal education at this point.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
This is going to get worse before it gets better. Sounds like the NHLPA might cut off their nose to spite their face. Which is silly, since they had the positive spin when this whole thing started.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
It shows how little attention many media people pay attention to postseason baseball when they keep saying Detroit is okay because of Verlander. He of the career postseason ERA over 5.00
October 11th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
Mole, you’re not serious, are you?
October 11th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
Pathetic, sad.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
I think the bats come alive tonight for the Tigers. It’s Jerrod fucking Parker. Who knows about JV. He’ll need run support tonight. Leyland should start Don Kelly and Danny Worth for good measure.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
Clarification: didn’t remove the degree, just changed the name of the school to one of its official names.
Those who graduated from there before PSU annexed it don’t consider themselves PSU alumni anyway, so it’s not like I’m going to run into a situation where they’d be offended.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
that right there is fucking ridiculous.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
Mole, thanks for the explanation. That’s reasonable.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
DEATHLY. It’s one of the versions of my CV, I’ve got many.

October 11th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
Well, you got me there. Nothing beats chatter.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
For now, I agree. I don’t know if the same will be true in a year or two though.
Probably. Thing is Hayden is tiny and I prefer my women with legs. Long, long legs.
that’s like JMac comparing costco to walmart. Yes, let’s compare the 45 year old redhead to the 23 year old blonde..
If anything, it should be a cake-walk for Hayden. It ain’t.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
Hell, that happens all the time in companies. I’ve seen some places that won’t even interview an applicant if they don’t recognize the name of the college/university. It’s lazy
October 11th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
I’m not ashamed of being a PSU grad or anything. I’m just fucking tired of people thinking I’m an asshole because of it. I’m an asshole for plenty of good reasons besides that thankyou.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
too early to talk craft beer? after all, stout season is right around the corner
October 11th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
OK, but what other pitcher would you want up there for Detroit? He’s better than anyone else on the Tigers and better than anyone on Oakland.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:30 AM
Yes. And Faith Hill>>>>>>Taylor Swift.
Appropriate since the characters in Nashville are supposedly based on those two country stars. When Faith Hill is 65 and Taylor swift is 40, I think I’d still pick Hill. Swift looks like a fucking elf. Disgusting.

Drank Lake Louie Tommy’s Porter last night and need another two hours of sleep as a result…it’s the goods though, shared some with the non-Wisconsin folk last weekend, felt it my duty as a citizen of this state to spread the gospel
October 11th, 2012 at 9:31 AM
I don’t think all PSU grads are assholes. I’d say they all are pedophile sympathizer. That’s a more accurate description.

October 11th, 2012 at 9:33 AM
No he doesn’t.
And that’s not why I’m worried anyway.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:33 AM
Consideration our career services department had a damn seminar when I was there about the variety of different ways you can identify the name of the school on your resume, I don’t think it’s that ridiculous. Anyways.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:33 AM
I have not heard one single instance of anyone in the business world using this rationale, and I know too many to count. To say you’re not ashamed seems to be false and more of a you problem than a their problem.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:33 AM

October 11th, 2012 at 9:35 AM
BCBS is good, but needs a year to rest. Little too hot at first. What’s Boltcutter? Haven’t heard of that one.
It’s also barleywine season. Time to stock up for next year.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:36 AM
Finally the Germans get their win.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
I’m aware of his stats.
He’s a different pitcher now. His postseason last year was ruined by weather as he was up and down, up and down. Most of his stats/starts were six years ago when he was a much different pitcher.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
By “you problem”, I mean your own personal decision. If it comes up as to why your resume doesn’t indicated Penn State, as a potential employer, I would think more of you if you simply said you’re disappointed in the handling of the case and you made a personal decision. Nothing more, nothing less.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
I can’t seriously believe this. “Interviews today, got a PSU grad. Whew! Dodged that bullet!”
October 11th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Well I have, and have read our alumni association trying to counter it, so whatever.
Maybe I am. I’m not ashamed of the school. I think I’m ashamed of being inherently tied to the rioting bros more than anything. There was a very big disconnect between Dickinson and PSU proper before this happened.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Man I loved cranking it to that show, primarily because of Richard Kind.
There NEEDS to be a COTD. And this would win it.

Verlander’s postseason sample size is way too small to read anything into it…I’d wager on Detroit tonight since if Leyland needs him to throw 140 to finish the game, he’ll do it
October 11th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
God the Big Ten sucks.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
I call that the Old People Overreaction. One does not indicate a reality of the other. So really, you are just caving to perceived perception. Seems unlike you, Mole. [gazes off towards

Part of it also could be that Pitt grads are across the board assholes and just have butthurt sports inferiority and finally have a reason to take it out on people.
