A little PBW to start Sunday Funday on the right foot.

And during that 210 million years without grass, about 2.5 trillion generations of grasshoppers were born, raised, and eaten.
And then the grasses came, and their lives improved, until somebody ate them.

There are at least 11,000 different species of grasshoppers.
There are at least 11,000 different varieties of grass.
Coincidence? Yeah, probably.
Although they can live to almost a year in age, due to so many predators liking to eat them, grasshoppers have an average lifespan of about 30 days.

Phil Nevin goes 4-4 in the middle of a mediocre lineup. Peavy pitches 6 innings and leaves in position for the win, middle relief melts down, Hells Bells Hoffman pitches the 9th with a 2-run deficit.
Yep, that sounds like the Padres that I've died with since 1969.

This is such a missed opportunity by the Dems.
Each and every day there should be a new video, with five or six Democratic politicians saying exactly the same thing.
Everyday, flood the zone, make them come after all of you.
This isn't complicated.
