QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 10:26 AM) So the question to those that noticed it? Did you get the count on # of passes correct or did you stop counting when you saw it? I counted it correctly, and I can't believe people weren't able to see it. Let me be the first to call me a genius. Pretty cool.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 30, 2008 -> 12:59 PM) Harold Perrineau not happy about the Michael character this year. http://www.tvguide.com/news/lost-harold-perrineau/080530-03 I can't say I blame him for how he feels. It seems like if he were going to sacrifice himself, they could have given him a little better story leading up to the finale. I hated Charlie, but leading up to his finale, they focused on him some more, and I actually felt bad when he died. I have no reaction to Michael's death because his character seems incomplete. He was quite good in the first season, though.

QUOTE (DBAH0 @ May 29, 2008 -> 12:21 PM) Interesting choice. I think Thibodeau would have ended up being the better choice. My guess is he maybe goes to Phoenix now, unless they give the job to Tyrone Corbin the Utah assistant coach. I think Phoenix really wants one of the Spurs' assistant - Mike Budenholzer. http://www.nba.com/suns/news/coaching_080516.html?rss=true

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 29, 2008 -> 10:05 AM) Hornacek could be that young assistant. Not sure if he would want to leave Utah for another assistant job, but he would look nice as a coach. It's unlikely that Hornacek would leave his job with Utah for anything other than an assistant coaching job with the Suns. He lives in the Phoenix area and has expressed interest in a job on the Suns staff.

Imagine how stupid the 14 teams who passed on Broadway feel when they look at that list.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 23, 2008 -> 07:26 AM) I first read about his tribulations in an ESPN.com magazine article like 4 years ago. Something about the fallen hero. He was still addicted and everything. He's one of the best stories and an inspiration to anyone with substance abuse issues. I remember the article. I used to hope that he'd get clean and the Sox would take a chance on him. Either way, I'm glad he's making the most of his second chance. It's really sad when people get hooked on drugs and throw away their lives.

I'd like to buy a Diamondbacks hat with the db snake logo that they have on their sleeves. I don't like the "A" or "D" that they have on their game hats. Anyone know where to find a hat with the db logo? Here's a pic of what I mean. I should add that I've never seen a hat with the db snake logo, and I'm not sure if it exists. I googled Diamondback hats and went to various hat websites and can't find it anywhere.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 21, 2008 -> 01:12 AM) And Ivan Rodriguez isn't? I'm saying that I suspect that Piazza's numbers are likely inflated by PEDs. He fits the profile. http://talkingbaseball.blogspot.com/2004/0...dsweve-all.html I don't remember seeing his name on any of the lists published, though. He was once accused of taking another kind of injection in the rear, but I don't believe that. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/...mets_piazza_ap/ Canseco pointed a finger at IRod, then Rodriguez came to camp looking like Olive Oyl a few years ago.. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/02/08/...ain672510.shtml So far, Canseco's been pretty right on, so I believe IRod is a user.

He's the catcher on my team of players that I suspect used steroids.

I'm consulting with various experts regarding liposuction.

Same weight. Time to reduce calories, increase exercise. Novel concept.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 21, 2008 -> 07:28 PM) I have all my music on iTunes right now, and currently have an ipod. Can the Zune be made to work with my iTunes. easily? Not sure about the Zune, but I have a Sansa MP3 and I download podcasts from iTunes onto it by having both iTunes and Window Media Player open. Anything I load onto iTunes automatically loads onto Windows Media Player, then I can put it on my Sansa. Might work with the Zune.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 21, 2008 -> 06:57 AM) For the out of town sox fans,why wouldnt you get one of the MLB packages?I know I would have to do that instead of waiting for it to come on a local channel.But I guess Iam just that dedicated. I really don't have time to watch them or I would have one of the tv packages. When I see that they're on WGN or ESPN, I make it a point to try to watch. I'll probably see both games this week. I was able to see that brutal TB game on Sat. That is undoubtedly the worst stadium to watch a game on tv. It always looks so dark, and they appear to have a 70s style green shag rug on the field for astroturf.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 09:31 AM) Today is only the deadline if you owe a balance. Procrastinate all you like if you are getting a refund. I used TurboTax, and I'm getting a refund. A week or so after sending in my 1040, I received a letter from the IRS saying that I miscalculated my taxes, and that they were going to send me refund that was about 12K more than I had figured. It's the first year I've used TurboTax (I've done them by hand in the past after having an accountant friend do them once). I was thoroughly confused. The extra 12K would be great, but that means I've been doing them wrong for years - and was probably due for a huge financial windfall. Aaah, another Brady "bonus baby." A week later, I got a letter from the IRS saying I owed them the extra 12K that they deposited into my account. And they want the money right away. I guess the US has a deficit or something. I'm still getting my original refund, I just get to borrow 12K for a few weeks. The IRS always crushes the dreams of the little man.

My dog just walked into my office, farted, and walked out.

Sure, it's bad looking, but stuff like this is what makes a team bond. I really believe that baseball is the sport that benefits the most from team unity. Eventually, someone from management will step in and tell them to clean up their looks, but the bonds will have already been formed between the players.

It is lame to make a deal to split the pot unless whatever it is that is being wagered is taking too long. In my fantasy football league, we also do a survivor pool (pick one NFL winner each week - no repeats). I think the winner gets $50 or so. Not much, just another chance to win a few bucks. Two years ago, 7 of us went out in the first week. I can't remember the team, but basically the biggest favorite of the week lost its first game. 3 guys were left to play for the $50. One guy lost in week 7, and after week 9 the other two agreed to split the pot. I couldn't understand their logic. Was it too hard to pick one team each week for the rest of the season while they were submitting their line-ups? If it's a card game, and the chips leader keeps changing, and everyone has pretty much had enough, fine, split the pot. Otherwise, you probably shouldn't be gambling at all.

I've hit a wall. No change again.

Somebody grab the gun from him. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080406/ap_on_en_mo/obit_heston RIP. Nobody, and I mean nobody, could sell a line like Chuck Heston. "Come back!"

My kids' pediatrician recommended using an antihistamine before flying. It will remove fluid from the ear canal and make the flight more comfortable for the kids because they won't feel as much discomfort due to pressure changes. Kids' ear canals aren't fully developed, so they have a harder time with fluid build up in their ears - which is generally what leads to ear aches and kids screaming on airplanes for five hours.

QUOTE(Markbilliards @ Mar 20, 2008 -> 08:41 PM) As I was taking a piss in a urinal today I started to wonder, how do others go about this? My question is, where do you prefer to aim? Straight at the wall of urinal and let it trickle down, or aim directly into the small amount of water at the bottom. Obviously there are things to take into consideration (i.e. splashback, acoustics, natural aiming direction). Your thoughts? Don't take our word for it. Look left and right next time you go and get back to us with the results.

I haven't lost any weight in 3 or 4 weeks. I also haven't eaten well or exercised in that time. I have myriad excuses, but will keep them to myself because they are just that - excuses. Next week I'll be down 2 lbs as my schedule clears up for additional work out time. Not coinicidently, I eat better when I exercise. If Screech can do it, so can I.

It seems as if Anderson has earned the starting job. He should be awarded it, then. It's not like he's a minor league 1B who outhit Konerko in Spring Training. He's been the best of three young players. Start the season with him in center, Swisher in left, and Dye in right. It's the only fair way to handle this. Keep Owens on the roster and play him a few times per week, and in the meantime, see what BA can do. It's not like he has any real trade value now anyway that would be reduced with poor performance.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 17, 2008 -> 11:25 AM) March 15th is considered the Ides of March. It doesnt mean much of anything, except that it is the middle of march I heard that this year the official St. Patrick's Day this year was March 15 because the 17th fell within Holy Week - which started with Palm Sunday on the 16th.
