ESPNews said he had a disagreement with the owner.

I thought they said they were going to keep him?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 05:17 PM) The thread was only the half of it. Yeah I wasn't apart of that bigger half.

If she's still with him, I'm surprised, if she's not, she'll find a better athlete to marry.

lol hilarious, what an idiot.

What about Ben Davis, I remember that insane thread a couple of years ago, craziness.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 01:15 PM) I have a myspace with about 400 comments and like 150 of my friends on it, but it's like abandoned now due to the rise of facebook, which is far more active and is what I check more often now. Haha how pathetic I am indeed. me too, I like facebook a lot better myself.

Good signing, I like it.

Well welcome back then.

QUOTE(StatManDu @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 01:07 AM) Erstad had speed and the picture on the homepage of this site speaks to his aggressiveness on the basepaths. In addition, he was a two-time state champion in track and field in high school (110 and 300 hurdles). His stolen base stats during his Angel days, when healthy, are more than respectable. That's cool that he was a 2 time state champion but how long ago was that. I'm sure he's lost some of that speed, the question is how much as he lost.

This is kinda related to this topic but does anyone read or subscribe to Men's Health? If so is it a good magazine to learn about nutrition and excercising or is it must about supplemental pills and etc?

happy birthday!

me unfortunately, haha. www.myspace.com/drtell

happy bday to all.

I remember when the first came out, it was revolutionary to see that good of animation.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 9, 2007 -> 06:21 AM) Reason #3 I am giving in this thread for heat over cold. Do you want to watch good looking people adding layers or taking them off? Cold Lover: "I'd love to see that new woman in compliance in long underwear, two pairs of socks, a turtleneck, sweater, long pants, parka, gloves, artic boots, hat, face mask, scarf . . ." Hot Lover: "I'd love to see that new woman in compliance at the beach . . ." pretty tempting to switch to warm weather, but I'll stay with cold because sometimes there are women you just don't want to see taking off layers.

Happy Birthday, I was a boy scout, not for long, but I was.

I like our bullpen a lot better than last years. Hopefully everyone stays healthy.

QUOTE(shoota @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 05:28 PM) I'm glad American citizens have the right to not stand for the pledge, but the people whose reason for not standing is to irk those standing are trash. Couldn't have said it better myself.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 10:09 PM) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That I understand. But isn't there some amount of selfishness in calling the deceased selfish after the facts? "He killed himself and it's my fault. Now I have to grieve the rest of my life over this." That's not selfish? I can see where you're getting at too. The bottom line is if someone kills themselves or even wants to kill themself, then something or someone messed up along the line. I personally have no sympathy for anyone to kills themselves because that's their own choice. I just feel for the loved ones of that person.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 09:42 PM) Well, a start would be not to call the person selfish, eh? you don't call the person selfish, the family blames themselves for it.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 07:17 PM) "A first sign of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die." - Kafka I never understood why people think it's selfish. Have you (I'm talking to everyone here) ever been so unbearably depressed that you wanted to kill yourself? Talk to anyone that has, read all the literature about suicide out there. It's not a matter of selfishness. I'm not defending Anna Nicole, but it's ridiculous for people to cast off something so serious as "selfish". Perhaps if people actually took time to figure out why somebody wanted to end their life, it'd happen less often. Calling somebody selfish is only adding fuel to the fire, it's only pushing them further away from where they want to be. If you ask me, it's selfish to judge those who only need acceptance. Yeah I agree with Steff, it might not seem selfish because someone's just taking their own life, but the rest of the family has to deal with it wondering what they could've done to prevent it. It's just not a pretty situation, it's happened in my family before.

I'm hoping MB is once again. And he possibly could be, but for upcoming free agency to make the big bucks.

They said during the telecast that a lot of Mexican-Americans will wear their Mexican gear on top and their American gear under and switch to the American gear if the US is winning. How loyal is that?
