The Sports Sermon

No baseball games are guaranteed to end in a timely fashion. At least if you are a quarterback or a point guard and you’re having a bad game, it is sure to end in an hour. However, if you’re a pitcher and you’re having a bad game it could last until tomorrow.

Bauder at the Bat

The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Georgetown Nine that day; The score stood 30-2 but one inning more to play. And then, when Hokies batters hit the bases full again; A sudden sickly silence fell upon the Hoya men.

For the batter was none other then Brad Bauder at the plate; He had just hit for his seventh; could he make it 8 for 8? He had shattered Big East records; one by one he watched them fall; By the eighth inning already he’d hit three over the wall!

When he stepped into the box an eerie quiet hushed the crowd; Although Bauder stood there silent, people knew his bat was loud.

Cup check

Well folks, here we are, just 36 days away from the most exciting sporting event of the year. Nope, it’s not the NBA or NHL finals, although those will be happening around the same time. I’m talking about the start of the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

Lions and tigers and lesbians, oh my!

For our fall vacation, which South Africans refer to as simply “vac,” two friends and I went to Kruger National Park in the northeastern part of the country, right next to Mozambique. I never thought I would go on anything called a “vac,” let alone be able to tell people so nonchalantly that I was “right next to Mozambique,” as if it were the same as saying “right next to Burger King” or “right next to that bald man in sweat pants.

Worth a thousand words?

Somewhere in the bowels of my parents’ basement squats a large, plastic Tupperware-esque tub. It isn’t labeled; so if my parents ever make good on their threat to donate all their unclaimed junk to the Purple Heart, some stranger is going to become the proud owner of the collected memories of my life since age 12.

Dead rock stars

So, the corpse of Layne Staley, former lead singer of Alice in Chains, was discovered decomposing in his bathroom. I’m pissed off. Not because I harbor some sort of deep nostalgia towards the grunge scene, but because of my tortured love tetrahedron with Alice in Chains and the brothers McMillan.

Letter to the Editor

When I saw the pro-Palestine protest on Friday, April 12 around the John Carroll statue, I thought it was great. I was impressed that our campus, often quiet, even passive in comparison to other universities, was making a statement and that it wasn’t the same annoying GLBT charade for the third or fourth weekend in a row.
