Time for a beer to help the pen hold the lead
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Not my doing, I swear.
I hate Verizon – I want to switch to MetroPCS.

I have verizon and I hate it.
I’m thinking about switching.

MFY's down 7-2
But actually outhitting the Jays, 11-8.
And in other news:
Rangers down 2-0 (Oakland with runners at 2B and 3B, one out)
Rays down 7-5.
that's right, we're paying him

Evening MassGal
So are you a 3L now?

4LE
which means the same as 3L—looking at the front door!!!
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

From what I've been reading
jdunderground.com
abovethelaw.com
bigdebtsmalllaw.com
there isn’t a whole lot out that door, at least in the way of jobs.
4LE: does that mean you’re getting a LLM, or something like that?

no LLM for me-- just 4 yrs of law in the evening program
I have friends who did the 4 yr program in 3 or 3.5 years but they hated every minute of it. I think you go stretch it out to 5 years but I went during the summer up until this summer.
I am OK staying where I am for a minute. Since I have been with the company for a long time now I have vaca time I can use to do pro bono stuff. I am just going to play it by ear. I feel bad for a lot of my friends & classmates bc they have no experience or prospects. Some who graduated in the top/law review had offers rescinded or are still looking. Things work out in the long run, sometimes it just isn’t immediate.
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
I hope things work out in the profession.
With any luck the legal economy will recover a bit. I’m guessing it’s gonna be a while though, as there are plenty of associates who have been laid off. It’s good you have a job to stay with.
I’m thinking about putting off law school, working another year to save more money and give the job market more time to recover.

sounds like a good plan
I do wish ( at times) wish I could have been part of the day program there are always better classes & the ability to participate in clinics but with a mortgage ( an another house I cant sell) it just was not realistic…but UConn’s evening program had nice options. I will look back on my time in law school as an enjoyable one. I laugh at people who say how much they hated it— why bother ? Life is too short & money too tight to spend on something you don’t enjoy. Sounds cornball but education is its own reward, even if Ido not get the 1,000,000 salary ( haaaaaaaaa), I am always amazed at how I analyze things now, my appreciation for the law ( the Constitution) and the realizations of the role of law in so many areas ( like public health).
Any experience you gain will give you a jump on the competition and as you know, it can be super competitive – pathological competition it seems but you don’t strike me as that type (just based on how you write, you COULD be a psycho for all I know :-0)
off topic but I just love, love , love ‘the law’ & my law school experience but I will admit , I got a couple of grades and was like " umm, this MUST be a mistake"… I came to the quick realization that I am not the smartest person in the room—no matter how small the room.

So, if we here about a crazed fan running towards Manny and getting tackled...
And then you don’t come on for a few weeks, we should just assume?

Ooh, June 18-20.
Perhaps I could convince my parents to let me go on a roadtrip and visit a bunch of colleges nearby that weekend…

Mags' option vested.
Detroit becomes less likely to contend next year.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
xd
What kind of a GM lets that option vest?
by Ben Buchanan on Sep 15, 2009 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Possible legal charges for preventing it?
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Could they really not find a guy better than him so that they could rightfully bench him?
by Ben Buchanan on Sep 15, 2009 9:30 PM EDT up reply actions
So I repeat:
What kind of a GM lets that option vest?
“Why aren’t you playing Magglio?! To avoid the option?!”
“Because he’s a RF with no power.”

Correct me if I am wrong but this is their first game at fenway this year
And they are terrible at fenway.
Fenway is Kryptonite for the Angels.
Check the color.

As demonstrated by such wonderful hits
As the botched suicide squeeze and the 3-run bloop single in last year’s ALCS.
Big games, I guess.
They stick in our memories.

If the Angels are Superman
Would that make Theo Epstein Lex Luthor? Because that would be awesome…

The catch he made to close the ALCS in 07 is overlooked because it turned into a blow out
but it was GREAT
Victimized. But still here.
Pity he couldn't maintain that form.

Read the Laundry - he's in the lower 3rd, at least, of the CF in the MLB right now.
AMAZING how great that position’s become.

@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
let me get this straight
Papi HRed to help Dice-K win a game in which he pitched six shutout innings
Can somebody go back in time to early June and tell a lot of people to shut up?
Good Night All!
