Apparently, Benedict is a not-for-prophet Pope.
Hondo, who all week had been riding the Pontiff’s teams, watched the Cardinals and Angels go to hell in a hand cart yesterday before the Padres blessed him with a victory, leaving His Holiness with a record of 10-9 and His Aitchness with a greatly reduced bankroll of 350 priests. Tonight, Mr. Aitch will forsake the pious picks for his secular selections – 10 units on Maine and the Metamucils to purge his slump and begin a winning binge.

Speaking of binging and purging, according to a study of high schoolers, the eating disorder can be almost contagious among teens. That makes sense, since it’s so much more fun to hurl with your friends than to do it alone. It fosters a sense of community when the group gathers ’round the ol’ bowl to re- route all those tasty but unwanted calories.
