QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 06:53 PM) in boxing records can be really misleading. There's a possibility the 21-0 guy only fought first timers or 40 year olds while the guy who was 10-2 was fighting prime fighters. It seemed to me that the 21-0 guy was not prepared mentally to fight, he wasn't nearly aggressive enough... sometimes fighters are thrown off by something in their opponents style, it seems like that's a possiblity too... I think at 1st it surprised him that he was chosen, then it almost insulted him that he was picked. He never really had his mind game together. After that 1st round, he knew he was in trouble. I agree with the decision, but they never said what kind of scoring they used. They just said Unanimous.

Can they still settle?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7129260/ None of this means anything.

I'm talking about the ones that have like someone's name is cursive. They just look like a brand, like someone held you down in the prison yard and forced it onto your neck.

It's an epidemic. Nothing screams 'I'm trash' louder than a neck tattoo. Anyone?

I've been trying to avoid reading about child abuse, since the fact that I can't do anything about it, makes them hard to handle for me. The title gave this one away. I also want to cry.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) 10 dollars total, they ALWAYS come down on price ALWAYS Yeah, OK.

Call me crazy, but isn't having an accurate throwing arm important to an outfielder?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) Heres a good tip if you think you arent good at buying tickets. Walk by the guys that sell the tickets right by the EL, offer them 10 dollars for every ticket they offer you, they ALWAYS come down on price. We do this all the time when people want to come with us and becuase we have seasons we need to buy box seats from these guys. huh? You mean offer them $10.00 above face value for each ticket? So 2 box tix at $80.00 face, offer $100.00?

what they both did was hardly pitching.

Someone I know found a USED band aid in a cake they bought from Jewel. Still rolled up into a fingertip shape with the dry blood puddle in it. :puke They went to the store and complained, the store said 'hey, we don't make em, you have to call these people'. They contacted the place that makes the cakes, they apologized. They contacted an attorney who told them it's almost impossible to win that kind of lawsuit. You'd have to prove illness and that it was caused directly by ingesting that cake.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 12:11 AM) If they've left then they still think they can sell them for more than you were offering. They'd rather make some money than eat tickets, it wouldn't make sense to play hard ball and not sell them whatsoever. I've waited til like the 2nd inning for some games. Believe me, the hard core scalpers will leave with tix before they sell them for face. They're thinking about it long term. If word gets out that all you have to do is wait them out, then people would do just that. Besides once they've made enough off the ones they've sold, they can eat a few and still make a big profit.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 12:04 AM) yeah wasnt the other teams guy 21-0 thats kind of embarassing to lose to a 10-2 guy.... although that 2nd round the guy that was 21-0 really took it to him he just seemed out of it the whole fight. It was funny, even his own team was like: 'uh Dude, you don't wanna fight that guy, he's 21-0'.

QUOTE(maggliopipe @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) they had a team challenge... each team had to lug a few logs a mile up a mountain road. the winning team picks who from their team will fight and who they will fight from the other team. their original plan was for a good west coast guy to fight a s***ty east coast guy, but they switched it up. I see, so basically his team won the challenge, so his own team picked him to fight 1st. You know that blue team has to be s***ting bricks if the yellow team's worst guy can beat their best guy. Good stuff, I'm geeked.

I'll bet that incident is a dead issue in the mind of both teams.

I missed the beginning, fill me in. The guy who ended up winning the fight, how was he chosen to fight 1st? I know he chose his opponent, but how was HE chosen?

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 07:01 PM) I think we are failing to realize what this truely is. Helping out a teammate thats going to be unemployed soon. You're probably right, but ya never know. So far we seem to have gone the other way, to no power. If Borch can keep thumping them, you just never know.

The last bad ballpark? Obviously, he hasn't been to the park in a long time.

Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday and I wasn't feeling too good that morning. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say, "Happy Birthday!" and probably have a present for me. As it turned out, she didn't even say good morning, let alone any happy birthday. I thought, well, that's wives for you, the children will remember... The children came in to breakfast and didn't say a word. So when I left for the office, I was feeling pretty low and despondent... As I walked into my office, my secretary Janet said, "Good morning, Boss. Happy Birthday!" And I felt a little better that someone had remembered. I worked until noon, then Janet knocked on my door and said, "You know, it's such a beautiful day outside, and it's your birthday, let's go to lunch, just you and me." I said, "By George, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. "Let's go!" We went to lunch. We didn't go where we normally go; instead we went out to a private little place. We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously. On the way back to the office, she said, "You know, it's such a beautiful day. We don't need to go back to the office, do we?" I said, "No, I guess not." She said, "Let's go to my apartment." After arriving at her apartment she said, "Boss, if you don't mind, I think I'll go into the bedroom and slip into something more comfortable." She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake --- followed by my wife, children, and dozens of our friends, all singing Happy Birthday. And I just sat there --- on the couch --- naked.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 05:49 PM) bulls***, you have to go and try them, even the papers rate them as the best. And I have brought several people over there to try them as well. You arent going to get off that easy I will go and try them. I'm not really a lava hot wings kinda guy. I prefer overall flavor with a littel sting, some are just pain and no taste, that's just stupid, IMO.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) Still on "Absolution" by Muse myself... the music quality is great on this disc, love to hear these 3 guys just tear it up. Trying to keep "Hot Fuss" by The Killers in rotation also.. yeah, the 1st 6 tracks on 'Hot Fuss' are solid, the rest kinda fades out.
