Long live Ozzie and the D prospects!

ah, the parlance of our times…and what a perfect place to discuss it…a forum inimical to calm debates.

Besides the absurd notion that actually knowing more — like the definition of a word — would imply reduced odds of breeding, using two posts on a website to conclude “almost definitely nil” would flunk you from the most elementary of statistics classes. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go continue breeding such that my genes sufficiently drown yours from the overall population.

No one rose from C prospect to HoF through the miracle of modern pharmacy? Stop messing with my mirage!

Filled out quite well I’d say. Too well?
