Le Pen is not an option

This was a stunning blow to Socialists and a triumphal moment for the right-wing extremist who campaigned on an anti-immigration and anti-European Union platform.

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.

It’s hotter than hell in Yates

You step inside and hand your card over to the Yates Memorial Field House staff member. Then it hits you. The sweltering air overwhelms you. It’s damp. It’s humid. It’s as hot as hell.

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.
