  1. Sorry, Edge. (Although I think I missed the first one, whatever that was.)

  3. Does anyone actually plan on reading anything that long about antimony? Perhaps it's vastly more interesting to learn about Antimony Gerhardt: ]Grad student Antimony Gerhardt dies at 24 Anne Trafton, News Office November 28, 2005 A memorial service was held at MIT last Tuesday, Nov. 22, for Antimony L. Gerhardt, a graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science, who died Nov. 17 in her Cambridge apartment. She was 24. Gerhardt's death appeared to be a result of injuries suffered following an accident in her apartment, said her mother, Gwendolyn Gerhardt. Gerhardt worked in the Microsystems Technology Laboratories and was also involved in community service as a member of MedLinks, an advocacy group of MIT students who help their peers get medical information. She came to MIT in the fall of 2000 from Hammond, La. Her mother had been staying with her in Cambridge after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August. Her classmates knew Gerhardt as "a beautifully kind, brilliant, inspiring young woman," said Nancy Keuss, a senior in physics. "She was consummately focused and dedicated as a student," Keuss said. "She was the person I'd think of when I imagined what a future successful, happy professional would look like." Martin Schmidt, director of the Microsystems Technology Laboratories, said she was a "very impressive" student who earned a master's degree only three and a half years after arriving as a freshman at MIT. She was on track to finish her Ph.D. next year. "She just seemed to have everything going for her," Schmidt said. "She was athletic, smart, very outgoing and engaging, and extremely giving of her time to others." In 2002, she was named a Burchard Scholar in the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Gerhardt was a nationally ranked high school tennis player and played on the MIT women's tennis team during her freshman year. "She was very friendly, polite, and a great team member," said her MIT tennis coach, Carol Matsuzaki. "She took things seriously but always had a smile on her face." Gerhardt's friendly manner also made an impression on the housemasters at MacGregor House, where she lived as an undergraduate. Munther Dahleh and Jinane Abounadi, both members of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, recalled meeting Gerhardt during her freshman year and described her as very polite and well liked. A sad story... but if your name is Antimony, I guess your destiny would likely be in the sciences.
  4. Bill Hepler. (I have no idea; that was the first vintage Mets baseball card that came to mind.)

  6. I like it. It's nerdy. I'm nerdy. It's a fit. Plus, I get to spend a day looking for pictures of antimony and molybdenum.
  7. Nuts. JD called dibs before I did.
  8. Easley's a career .328 OBP guy who hit home runs when everyone was on steroids, and has basically sucked since 1999. He's UL Washington without the cool initials. He deserves a spot on the 25 only barely more than I do.
  9. I was going to say something about the hats. Can't just effing leave the hats and colors alone, can they? Bleh.
  10. Whoever that is has a little bit of a Steven Tyler thing going on. And not in a good way.
  11. Scott Reid was once a Mets draftee, so it would be logical if they'd found a way to get him back in their system. Ramos was a long-time major leaguer; he would been 37 years old in 1972. Not that it's not possible, but that's what I found.
  12. Willets Point wrote: Yep. Around the same time Frederick Douglass was Secretary of State. And Ben Franklin was president, for all those fans of "The Office."
  13. You'd think a young professional athlete would date someone a little more attractive than that guy, but I guess he must have a great personality.
  14. I'd much rather go to FanFest and the Derby -- I love the Derby! -- than the game itself.
  15. I miss Mr. Koo.
  16. He kinda has a little Lou Diamond Phillips thing going on.
  17. I eagerly look forward to Reyes, Wright, Delgado, LoDuca, and starting pitcher John Maine doffing their caps to a chorus of boos as starting lineups are announced.
  18. The flat brim bugs you more than the red?!?! Are you crazy? Red?!? Come on, Jose. You're killing me. I'd rather see the insipid white hats from 1996 than red.
  19. And we have another Ho-ahn Martinez sighting.
  20. Has Billy Squier met Rusty Staub? That'd be a boring conversation.
  21. HEY! Leave K-Mac alone. My real guess: OHernandez Maine OPerez Glavine (who injures himself late in the spring and needs a few extra days) Sosa
  22. Gooden Darling Fernandez Ojeda Niemann
  23. Probably pronounced "ho-ahn." Helluva job. Best site on the Interweb.
