We have a real battler out there.” Beyond Haviland, the starting pitching picture is a bit murkier, but one candidate—flame-throwing frosh Adam Cole—has emerged as an early favorite to nail down a weekend spot.

...Center: These newly installed machines make a perfect stop-off for ill wanksters to cop some snacks before smoking a doob on the rooftop. Cream-filled Chocolate Cupcakes: Back of the net. Swedish Fish: Get in my belly. Two rows allotted for Nacho Cheese Doritos: Textbook. To put the nail in the coffin, the handsome drink machine offers “Fruit20,” a beverage which ironically defies the laws of nature.
