I just got home from the movies - missed the game - or maybe not, maybe I didn't miss it - however at this rate I will be losing the YNOT contest for the third straight time - damn

JM will probably sit him in game 2. JM is f***ing up the PTC because who the hell knows who to pick? Other than going mags and Frank all the time - and not even they have been guarenteed starts - its really maddening to me. I see winningugly and ab(I can't spell his name) also had PK - so the vibe was strong today!

wanting to stick with PK but is he starting again? so my default choice is whoever starts at first - whoever starts at 1st is my PTC

i was at work this morning and couldn't figure out who to pick since I had no clue what the line up was and then I got this strong PK vibe - really odd, but then, PK is due - being unsure of who was starting I claimed the person who started at 1st by which I meant PK but in case PK wasn't playing I had to have a PTC - whether they give it to me or not with all their rules who knows but I had a definite PK vibe this morning - I've been living and dying on his at bats all day - when he got first Sox hit of the game I was thinking alright! anf then he had a few unsuccessful at bats and I got worried - but he came through just as I was pulling for him to do - now I gotta figure out if my PK buzz is good for all day or just the first game

he was my PTC today

PK my PTC homers - 3 run homer

How long have you watched this team? Of course the answer is no

Baez threw it away what would have ended the game

but Frank K'd

yeah would be so great

just saying

thanks for telling us that - I can take a nap now in peace

I am not sure those 2 runs were MB's fault. We are fielding as pathetically as we ever have.

whoever starts at 1st I have no lineup so I am going for the person who starts at 1st

I bet everyone will want to take that bet!

because I am sure that with a double header JM will depart from his inflexible scheduling of the set line up for every game, I am not sure who starts and it is PTC time - anyone have line-ups?

the worst song ever? you never heard the Macarena?

it wasn't a member here then - I would have a short fuse with someone messing with someone else's avatar or sig without permission

someone changed your avatar? I was gone all night and missed that - how is that possible? and i am none too pleased anyone would do that -

because that is essentially true for me I never wanted my grandkid to say that - plus he is a good traveling buddy - do that with your grandparents - sorry that his health is so bad so do what you can, memories you never lose

Since HSC is bored and I don't even want to read the game thread: what was your favorite trip with your grandparents? My grandkid better answer that question with "its a tie" between our overnight experience last month or the adventure we began today - we began tonight for my grandson and me - the county fair - rural western Michigan county fair - for all of you think that I am a very sophisticated city dude, my duck won first place! [granted it was in the "old hen" category but she is an old hen duck and still has all the posie and attitude and styke you want in a duck which is why she wins ever year] {HSC, how could I move back to Chicago when I have raised the annual award winning duck out here?} anyway the grandkid and I spent the evening riding every ride over and over - he likes to hang upside down in the gravitron - the trip continues Sunday with his very first concert: at Ford Field in Detroit, yes, he is seeing Missy Elliott, 50 cent, and Eminem now how many grandparents take their kid to see Eminem? I think I deserve a special place in grandparent HOF for that! we have club level, first row seats - he is a bit young for the mosh pit - from Detroit, following the concert, Em's only 2003 US appearance, we drive straight to Chicago for the All Star Game (I am going to the Home Run Derby but he's missing that), I want to see his 3rd grade teacher's face next month when she says, what did you do over the summer and have the kid say, "My poppa took me to sleepovernight in the outfield at Comiskey, took me to see Eminem, and the All Star Game." My best trip with my grandparents: none. My one grandfather took me to Wrigley on my only trip anywhere with any grandparent and he was hurt because I cheered for the Cards - hell, not even for Pop would I cheer for the cubs - so I guess it was my best trip and I loved him very much but I wish he would have taken me to Comiskey!

and way too over played before, too

I will pray for you tonight - that is the worst musical opinion ever expressed!

I congratulate you on being one of the few here who can spell "ridiculous." That spelling with the "e" instead of the "i" really grinds me. We had a drought ouit here in 1988 - after living through that, I never complain about rain.
