Been on the downlow while the Beltway Boys are away. If our calculations are correct, Justin Verlander will start his first game after the no-hitter this Monday, at RFK. We might have to ... maybe go to that game ... unless we're diagnosed with some deadly contagion, in which case we'll be on a plane bound for Greece. That's all for now. Pretteh tarred after 11 freak out innings of baseball in Baltimore. We haven't seen something pissed away then brought back like that since the septic tank overflowed into the backyard. The way Cordero likes to break hearts, it's a lock that Boston will want him.


Now please, a story that the author has proclaimed, "horrible".

Wings

By Rosellen Provost, age 10

Once upon a time, when the earth was young, all of the animals lived in peace. They all walked or swam. Only bats and birds flew.

The frogs were never hungry, because none of the insects could fly. The lion ruled the world. He felt pity on the poor insects. He gave them all the power to fly. Most of them took advantage of this. They teased the frogs.

Even though the frogs coped with it and caught the annoying bugs, the king took away many of the wings.

A lot of bugs still have wings because they don't abuse the power. Such as butterflies and dragonflies. Flies are different they did abuse the power, but told the lion that he would stop if he could keep his wings. Flies don't fly very well and they still get eaten by frogs.

The Ladybugs kept their skillful wings because they didn't abuse the power, they have ladylike manners, they're pretty, and the king is quite fond of them.
