You know who else sucked for a while? Romans. They were all like Numitor this, Vestal Virgins that, and then Lucius Postumius Megellus came along and commanded the siege of Agrigentum, and the rest is history. So the lesson is don't belittle Tampa Bay, because should they ascend to power they will almost certainly exact their revenge by enslaving you and having sex with your women.
LET'S GO MARINERS!!

So the womenfolk are safe for one more day
if Bedard just plain deals and the bullpen doesn't suck?

I think I could die a happy man
If Tampa Bay started kicking New York and Boston's asses, denying at least one of them a playoff spot every year.. Short of the M's winning the World Series, there is nothing I would want more from baseball.

No,

ok, what about
Red Sox = Nero. enjoyed for a brief time then corrupted by power
Yankees = Tigellinus. evil, rich
Orioles = Acte. used to be relevant, now ignored.
Blue Jays = Poppara. should be more influential but aren't.
Rays = Petronius? I don't know. Losing steam here.
by Matthew on Apr 8, 2008 1:57 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hmmm.
I like what you did there. This is sticking purely with nations -
Red Sox = Carthage, proud tradition, came to dominate Med trade when the greeks were weaker
Yankees = Greece/Hellenic empire(s). Duh.
Orioles = Pontus/Pontic Kingdoms. Pretty irrelevant, then killed every mutherfucker in the room, then got killed.
Blue Jays = Eburones or the Germans of the Teutoburg Forest. Yeah, you can wipe out a legion and everyone thinks it's your 'time' but in the end, you're not built to win wars.
Rays = Rome, per the words of our leader.
by marc w on Apr 8, 2008 2:06 PM PDT up reply actions 2 recs
I think the analogy here would be
to Hannibal Gisco.
The question is whether the Red Sox are Hannibal (the famous one).
Then there's the question of whether THIS year's Rays are L. Postumius Megellus or A. Quintus Sulpicius. They're a rising power, but are they good enough to actually win? Clearly, revenge will be theirs in time. But in 2008?

who seem dedicated lately to pumping money into the school. In the last 6 years I think the EE, Chem E/Enviromental E and maybe one other school all got named. Plus the Engineering school as a whole and the whole Kline Institute thing.
For awhile there it felt like each department was trying to out do the other in terms of rich alumni donations.
No one ponied up for CS though :( My dream is to be able to throw my name on the school.
