If it sucks, it sucks. After only watching the trailer, I don&#8217;t think it will&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Here are some problems I will have if this movie becomes insanely popular:<\/p>\n<p>1) Normal people will find the sheer joy of being comic book nerds<br \/>\n2) Nerds will now have to fill in all the roles people left behind. Stuff like the bully, the jock, the dancer, the loud guy, the obnixious gum chewer, etc.<br \/>\n3) Good looking people will now dress as these cool characters for Halloween. Before, that was only reserved for slightly overweight, <em>Ugly Betty<\/em> types, and guys with &#8220;manel-toe&#8221;<br \/>\n4) Thinking will become cool again. But now it will force everyone at parties use the same tactics to have sex with someone<br \/>\n5) The movie will be hard to get in to see multiple times. Which is bad, because when nerds find a film they like, they must view it a minimum of 8-10 times in theaters. It&#8217;s science fact<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, and number six.

They&#8217;ll be for 40 year old boys&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baseball Season Baby!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s right around the corner. This time of year always gets me excited for the noise of the ballpark. The people competing for roster spots. The possibility of a strong season. With as many people competing for a spot in three tough battles at 2nd, center, and 3rd. We also have new digs to play in&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolgernow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/new-stadium.jpg\" alt=\"new-stadium.jpg\" height=\"161\" width=\"355\" \/>(Five beers please?)<\/p>\n<p>Today the White Sox play the Cubs at 3:05pm in cactus league play. Last night looked like the worlds biggest Vegas bachelor party.

Baseball&#8217;s a lot like life. You can royally suck at things 7 out of 10 times and still keep your job!<\/p>\n<p>Only thing is, that was probably truer a year ago. Today?
