Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

And here I thought you were going to say it had as much relevance as that hopey-changey thingy.

I hear that the Astana DS is going to do some Chief of Staff job. Someplace in the middle east coast area. Heard it referred to as "Mordor on the Potomac".

As a Mets fan, I feel uniquely qualified to appreciate the pointlessness of modern American politics.

You imply you have a choice.

Thus, you're wilfully a Mets fan? Even now?!?!
