Orioles acquire Jose Reyes!

11/18/08 Baltimore Orioles
Signed C Jose Reyes to a Minor League contract with an invitation to Spring Training.

 

Couldn't resist the chance to panic every Met fan on the board and send every Oriole fan into ecstacy usually reserved for late night thoughts of Jessica Alba.

I apologize, but anytime I can use his attempt at a career to scare all Mets fans that their God has been traded away is worth every minute!

apple crisp

Ingredients
Filling:
15 to 20 apples, in a variety of brands, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup cinnamon and sugar mixture
1/2 to 1 cup apple cider or orange juice
Topping:
2 cups bleached flour
2 cups sugar
2 sticks cold margarine
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Layer sliced apples into an ungreased 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar mixture in between each layer. Use enough cinnamon and sugar to cover each layer. Once apples are to the top of the pan, cover with final layer of cinnamon and sugar and then pour either your apple cider or orange juice over the entire mixture.

Mix the 3 toppings ingredients together with a mixer until it is crumbly. Cover the apples with the topping. Bake for 45 minutes. Cool and serve.

Can we borrow a page from Punknews

And start discussing whatever sandwiches we’re eating yet?

Hilarious!

I have to say, as a fantasy owner of Jose Reyes, I definitely clicked on this right away.
Funny stuff, I got a kick out of it. …..although I still don’t the apple crips recipe. Then again, it did make me kind of hungry.

Apple crips?

The apples are colored blue and kill you if you look at them funny?

No

You must be confused with the Apple Bloods. The Apple Crips are an outlaw off-shoot of the girl scouts.

revolutionary war

The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence,1 began as a war between the Kingdom of Great Britain and thirteen united former British colonies on the North American continent and ended in a global war between several European great powers. The war was the culmination of the political American Revolution, whereby the colonists and their allies overthrew British rule. In 1775, Revolutionaries seized control of each of the thirteen colonial governments, set up the unifying Second Continental Congress, and formed a Continental Army. The following year, they formally declared their independence as a new nation, the United States of America. In 1777 the Continentals captured a British army, leading to France entering the war on the side of the Americans in early 1778, and evening the military strength with Britain. Spain and the Dutch Republic – French allies – also went to war with Britain over the next two years.

Throughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture and occupy coastal cities, but control of the countryside (where 90% of the population lived) largely eluded them due to their relatively small land army. French involvement proved decisive, with a French naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a second British army at Yorktown in 1781. In 1783, the Treaty of Paris ended the war and recognized the sovereignty of the United States over the territory bounded by what is now Canada to the north, Florida to the south, and the Mississippi River to the west.

Educated Mets fans
