...funny, deliveries. Next to Thornton, Heder is, well, emasculated. His “Napoleon Dynamite” typecasted schtick of the anti-hero-we’re-supposed-to-root-for is running thin. Surprisingly, he didn’t don a “Vote for Pedro?? t-shirt. That said, “Scoundrels” doesn’t do Heder justice for the charisma and actual screen presence he actually possesses.

Perhaps a bit more overtly religious than Low’s, Bazan’s lyrics seemed to take a backseat to the instrumental...

...teams. Lifelong Boston residents, their nervous eyes buried in their hands for the better part of a month, sat side-by-side with international students unfamiliar with the rules of the game. Together, we hung on Manny’s every swing, Zimmer’s every scowl, and Pedro??s every pitch and punch. The physical and emotional closeness of everyone in the room, regardless of rooting interest, could not have been possible if we had each watched the game separately from our desk chairs and futons.
