If they do that, Tom Gordon is the closer tomorrow.

They won't need a closer tomorrow.  They're losing by 4 runs.

how's the surf been this summer?  south shore on oahu has sucked all summer.  no descent swells since fourth of july.

Raleigh/Durham is known for its top-notch surfing, yes, but I haven't hung ten much of late.

Hang ten in RDU is code for lynching a bunch of black people. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

In Jacksonville or other outlying areas, that might be true.  In the RDU area, black guys golf with white guys.  Asians, however, stick to their own kind on the links.

Ed Wade's parachute gets stuck in S. Jersey tree

The man who some Phillies fans felt left the team hanging high and dry yesterday found himself hanging high in a tree, dangling from a parachute.

Former general manager Ed Wade jumped from a plane that took off from a parachuting center at Cross Keys Airport in Monroe Township, Gloucester County.

His chute opened properly, but it snagged a tree in a residential area just south of the airport on the 1400 block of North Tuckahoe Road, which runs next to the airport, according to an emergency medical technician, who answered the phone this morning.

As residents watched, the Williamstown Fire Company positioned a ladder truck near the tree.

"They put the ladder up it and he climbed down it," the EMT said.

He wasn't injured, she said.

She said she didn't expect that Wade or the skydiving center would get a bill for the rescue services.

Wade, 51, now does scouting and front-office work for the San Diego Padres.

During his tenure as Phillies general manager from 1997 to 2005, the team developed or acquired a variety of prominent players, but never made the playoffs.

[Sgt PSN]

I'm too amazed at the fact that Wade has the balls to go skydiving to actually laugh at him getting stuck in a tree.
