Huh? Hatred??? How do you figure? I only hate nova football - I've been pretty clear about that!
You're a glass half-empty kind of guy when it comes to JMU....very subtle...but you never really have anything positive to say about JMU....no problem here though, I like that the hatred for Nova is anything but subtle
Eh, I'm a skeptic about a lot of stuff, doesn't mean I hate a lot of stuff. As for JMU, I've consistently said they get fantastic student support and that they have a legit plan to move out of FCS in the near future. That can certainly be classified as positive.
Credit the Nationals for the timing of Strasburg's promotion, which ensures that his first month in the majors will serve as a very gradual introduction to major league hitters. His next start will be on Sunday against the injury-riddled Indians, 12th in the AL in runs and down two of their best players in Grady Sizemore and Asdrubal Cabrera. Assuming the Nationals start Strasburg every fifth game, he would then catch the White Sox (11th in the AL in runs) on June 19 and the Orioles (last in the AL in runs) on June 25 before finally seeing the Braves (second in the NL in runs) on June 30.
So while it doesn't seem possible, the hype around Strasburg could actually grow in the next couple weeks as he faces lineups nearly as weak as the one he dominated on Tuesday night.

Sorry, that went over my head.

BTW, those Strasburg is Our Savior guys at the bottom are from Connecticut...
...and it's pretty clear that if they entered a golfball through a garden hose sucking contest with UNHWildcats and Dbackjon that UNH and DBJ would finish in fifth and sixth place. Ain't them matching shirts just the cutest thing you've ever seen, hon?
