All you have to do is look at the Cardinal LOOGYs, Miller and Tallet, and see how they have fared against LHB for the year, over the past month or so, and in Miller's case, in that inning. <br /><br />HINT: not well.Vidorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09391689584024292560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064547517730087223.post-83833869769708313752011-07-01T12:13:15.575-05:002011-07-01T12:13:15.575-05:00While I wholeheartedly agree with Mark that cookie...While I wholeheartedly agree with Mark that cookies are at the top of the dessert food chain, he is well aware of my belief that cake is far superior to pie. We have discussed this in many forums, and it baffles me that he refuses to listen to reason on the subject. I have to echo TCM's frosting argument. It's one I've made repeatedly. Only cookies can top the amazingness that is the cake and frosting combination. Mark, with all due respect, your argument (like those who are anti-gay marriage) will come down on the wrong side of history. You don't want to be considered as an obstructionist do you?Chiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00519835942711823406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064547517730087223.post-39298043010804130012011-06-30T13:07:34.672-05:002011-06-30T13:07:34.672-05:00Jonathan,

These are probably the msot athletic guys on the diamond, but their swings make them look like idiots.<br /><br />TCM,<br /><br />Cake may have frosting, but pie has fruity and whipped creamed goodness. You can have too much frosting whereas there's no such thing for whipped cream.Mark Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502652349827578699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064547517730087223.post-86518035464180822182011-06-30T10:28:33.455-05:002011-06-30T10:28:33.455-05:00Your dismissal of cake is unfathomable.
