It's been great watching it. I like seeing the lower seeds make it to the Sweet 16.

I don't have classes on Tuesday so I'll wake up and watch it.

haha thanks both of you. Yeah I think a big portion of it is wanting what I can't have. She's really matured in 3 years and I think I have to. So in some ways we might be 2 different people now. As far as a friendship or relationship, I've thought about this as well. Part of me wishes she'd see another guy just so I can move on and try to be friends with her, but I'm worried that the same thing will happen where we don't talk, possibly for good. Of course the whole decide between friends or more is mute if she doesn't want anything more and that's how it is right now. Yeah your Iowa comment is funny, and it has some truth to it too.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 24, 2008 -> 06:08 PM) I read the title of this thread and immediately thought it meant he had the last roster spot in the bullpen. I thought that too.

These threads have been around before and I made one nearly 4 years ago as an 18 year old. The advice really helped then, but now as a 22 year old, it seems I still am clueless with the female sex. When I was a senior in high school there was a freshman girl that liked me a lot. She was borderline obsessed about me which I didn't like, but liked at the same time. I didn't want to get involved with her because I thought 18 and 15 was too big of a difference even though I thought there was a possiblility that something great could come out of it. Then not too long after I graduated she started dating a guy and I was angry at myself for not trying to take our friendship to the next level. I grew to accept not being in a relationship with her and I got in to a few of my own over the next 3 years, but she was always on my mind. I didn't talk to her very much after I graduated from high school. Maybe a few times a year in 2005 and 2006. In 2007 I didn't talk to her a lot, but started talking to her more once the school year started and she had gone off to college. Eventually and her and her boyfriend broke up in November and a month later I decided to send her a message about how I felt about her. It ended up being a big mistake and I regret sending it because it freaked her that I could still like her for this long. She said she didn't understand how I could since we rarely talked anymore and didn't know each other. Unfortunately for me she said she didn't have any feelings for me and was "unsure" if she ever did. When January and February came, we started talking more frequently, maybe once a week or so. When spring break started she wanted to know if we were going to hangout at all over break, since we had talked about it a couple of times in January. I was surprised she sent me a message and we ended up having a group outing last Wednesday. It was fun to hangout because that was the first time we've hungout before, we had talked at school and at graduation parties over the past couple of years but hanging out. The bad part seemed to be that I could tell she didn't have feelings for me anymore, at least she didn't act like she did. After that long story, what I'd like to know is if I should give up thinking of a relationship or not. It's so hard for me to give up after all of this progression over the last few months. I know I want a relationship with this girl not because of her looks, she's a nice looking girl, but I want it because of her personality, her values, and she's just a goofball which I really like in her. It seems to be as if she only wants to be friends instead. But I know if I keep trying and hoping for a relationship I'll more than likely hurt myself. I was a fool for not trying for her 4 years ago, it looks like if I keep trying for her now I could be a fool again. We also go to different schools, she goes to Iowa State and I go to Northern Iowa. Thanks for reading.

I know 3 other people turning 21 today, it's a big day. Happy Birthday!

dang I wish I could but I'm gonna be leavin soon. I'd join but I wouldn't be there for the draft.

If I ever get stuck using a handicapped urinal, I'll aim for the water.

I'm still at an even 200. I have been for 3 weeks.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 02:53 PM) The NL West will be viewed by the end of the year as the best division in baseball. (We're supposed to be bold, right?) The NL West has had 4 different teams in the playoffs the last 2 years.

lol this is a great thread. I've always wondered about this too. I aim just above for the most part. I've seen people use the sink when they're drunk, which needless to say might've been the only time I didn't wash my hands after pissing.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 07:54 AM) I heard he stuffs the sinks with toilet paper and leaves the faucet running all night. He calls himself "The Wet Bandit." lol great post. I love that movie.

That one hurts. Coming back from 16 down to lose on a last second shot. I feel for my Iowa boys.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Mar 19, 2008 -> 05:19 PM) Yeah, I agree. Something doesn't smell right. Maybe they DON'T think he will be claimed? I have no idea... If they don't think he'll be claimed, what's the reason for putting him up? Hoping he gets claimed?

Uribe gone? What? Are you serious? I have mixed feelings about this. I wanted him gone after the end of last season and thought it was dumb resigning him. But now with the season starting up shortly, I don't see the point of getting rid of him.

I'd rather have Dunn than Sexon.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 19, 2008 -> 11:57 AM) If the Sox were intent on letting Crede start at 3rd base if he was still on the team this year, then they made another huge error in judgement by not making Fields into a left fielder. Exactly

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 19, 2008 -> 11:43 AM) SO, you are banking on Crede performing as he did in an outlier year? Hmmm, math, statistics, common sense, out the door. I'm a Crede supporter but even I can't deny the numbers Fields put up in 100 games and only 373 at bats. 23 home runs and 67 RBI's is damn good. The .244 avg isn't, but Crede only has a career .259 avg.

Every day somoene is saying Crede is going to be traded very soon. It hasn't happened yet, there's no reason to wait for it to happen. If it's going to happen, it'll happen, then Fields will be the 3rd baseman. I'm still angry that Fields isn't going to play left field. This team would lack the speed having both Crede and Fields in the lineup but the lineup could've looked like this. I don't mind Crede being here, I understand that Fields needs to be here now. But I don't want to see KW trade Crede for players that aren't, or won't amount to anything. Swisher CF Cabrera SS Thome DH Konerko 1B Dye RF Crede 3B Fields LF Pierzynski C Uribe 2B

QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 18, 2008 -> 11:40 PM) IIRC, he likes Country Time Lemonade better. Haha Country Time Lemonade. By the way, it's nice to see the Filibuster pass 50k for posts.

Great run by the Rockets.

I like that 103 mph fastball.

Uribe, until he shows he can't hit the ball, or run for that matter.

4 of the 5 teams I'm rooting for most (Kansas, Georgetown, Gonzaga, Davidson) are in the same region. Drake's the only one that's not.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 01:01 PM) That leprechaun story is legendary. It doesnt get much better than that. Speaking of leprechauns, on Friday there was a story about a midget that dressed up as a leprechaun scaring people in Argentina. I saw this on yahoo but couldn't watch it at that time, so I came back later and I couldn't find it on yahoo. Anyone see that video?
