QUOTE(bigruss22 @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 08:35 PM) i saw the same story, really cheap trick if it was by a Tiger employee. That said, I believe it was an angry fan. I would imagine it would be more geared toward Orlando being the playoffs and all, but Im sure having us in town made it a slam dunk to do it.

One of my friends just told me that the other day in Detroit, someone puled the fire alarm at the hotel that the magic and the sox were staying at at 3 am...anyone else hear this?

sigh

Its too late in the season for Erstad versus Anderson threads. Lets get the Griffey Jr/ Andruw Jones threads going

A car like a G35 will be fine in the winter. The cars that are terrible are more Camaro/Mustang types. Like some others have said you can get a set of tires that helps, which I did on my Camaro but if you have a feel for the car you will be ok in the snow, as long as its nothing insane like a blizzard. Like I said, my dad currently has a G35 and he had it last winter and he never had any problems. You can also put weights in your trunk and that helps mildly.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 12:00 PM) Do players outside of NY and Boston qualify for the ASG? No, they use NY/Bos to make the teams and use the rest of the league to fill the rosters.

Dont neglect the fact that NYC has happy hour!!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 02:40 PM) I have been looking at the infiniti g35 coupe. My dad has a G35. You wont have any problems with that car. Theyre really nice and they handle well. As long as you have driven in that kind of weather before you shouldnt have any problems. QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 03:33 PM) Rock, I like the choice of car. I would suggest that or the 350Z if you are looking for a sports car with kick that won't break down ala Mustang/Camaro/TA. I drive an RSX now and would gladly trade it in for either the Z or G35. Ive wanted a 350Z for a while. Right now I have a 6 cylinder Accord Coupe and i really like it, but hen Im done with it I am gonna take a real long look at the Z. I love that burnt orange color.

I used to have a Z-28 and it was absolutely terrible in the snow. It was rear wheel drive and had a pretty big V8. Im not sure what kind of car you were looking at but I had problems driving it in the snow but the longer I had it and more I got used to it, it wasnt by any means undriveable just more of an annoyance. I also had a Grand Am GT which was pretty quick, but it was a 6 and front wheel drive and I never had any problems with that in the snow.

I heard on a radio station when I was in LA that the show was going to try to separate the story lines between Vince and Ari and that they were slowly gonna try to focus the show more on Ari because Adrian Grenier as an actor was the biggest complaint most critics had. Im not sure how much truth there is to it but you can tell they are keeping Pivens character very active without a relationship to Vince.

Im curious is anyone knows what mine is

QUOTE(OfficerPat35 @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) I just find mourning to be pointless. Lets say I die. So atleast a few people are gonna be pretty sad, like my mother. But why? Im dead. Its not like Im feeling any pain or anything. I will probably be in a better place (ok, maybe Im a bad example haha). So why mourn? Honest to God, when I die, I want those who would be mourning to throw a party instead. My ride just friggin ended, so Im pissed enough for the whole block. I want my life to be remembered as a happy one, so throw a huge party and have a good time. I think that would be the best way to honor a persons memory, instead of having a funeral where everything is gloomy and depressing and everybody cries. Thats not any fun. As for Cho, what he did was heinous, no doubt, and hes rotting in hell for it. I just dont get all the facebook groups that have popped up to state that fact. If you look, most of them are from other schools not even close to Tech. The Hokies havent even gotten around to hating him yet, so why is everybody else? Seems like a misplacement of energy to me. And think of his family too. Im really ashamed to say they are probably living in constant fear right now. That is needless. They are devastated by this as well, probably even more so in the horror that it was their son who caused this. Leave the poor people alone. you find it to be pointless...

QUOTE(OfficerPat35 @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 08:41 AM) First, no one should idolize this guy. And while he did a heinous thing, I dont understand all this hatred for him or his family. Do you people realize how f***ed up in the head someone would have to be to do something like this? This wasnt the result of boredom. It was the result of insanity. Let his family grieve in peace. They lost a loved one too. Second, can someone explain to me what exactly wearing maroon and orange for a day is supposed to mean? Or holding candlelight vigils? Or putting that bow up as a profile picture on facebook? Or that now god-awful pop culture phrase "We are all Hokies for today"? What does this mean? Is this our way of showing sympathy? If my school were to get shot up, and people insisted on wearing our colors the next day, and the day after that and so on, it wouldnt mean a damn thing to me. Neither would a candlelight vigil. Do something productive! Collect donations and start scholarships or something. Change the world. But burning candles, and spending a crapload of money to make tshirts so that people can wear them all over town, that accomplishes nothing. Another thing I hate that I see mainly on facebook, is that people seem to be FIGHTING for pride on this topic. Ive seen several groups that are, to paraphrase, "The OFFICIAL Tech Memorial Group". Yes, with "official" in all caps. As though this person wanted to make sure his group was the greatest and most important. And then other people are just joining fifty different groups all saying the same thing, and posting their status as some sort of memorial to Tech. I dont know about the rest of you, but to me, this just shouts "LOOK AT ME IM AWESOME IM PRAYING FOR TECH!" Its pretentious. I am not a Christian, but the Bible tells us to retreat into privacy for prayer. Dont do it in the open, as though to call attention to yourself. Do it on your own time, away from others. Charity and consolation should be the same. Talk to your friends at Tech, and console them if need be, but do not attempt to glorify yourself or even bring attention to yourself. This detracts from the main focus, which is the victims who need consoling. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, I hate the idea of funerals, and will vomit posthumously if one is held for me. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/...?ltl=1176760812 This is about the worst thing Ive seen. Are they freakin serious? A prayer petition? Like thats going to cheer these people up. Not to mention it has a freakin goal of 100,000 or something like that. A goal? "Lets see how many prayers we can get. Lets see how great we can be." Pretentiousness. These are your opinions and you obviously have the right to have them, but what gives you the right to judge what other people are doing. Even if other peoples reasons are pretentious or selfish or even glorified what business is it of yours to judge how anybody mourns? When you see people wearing VT colors, or using the pins as avatars, it may not do anything financially like raising scholarships but it shows the families and friends of the victims that the country is behind them. Is that so bad? Even if some people are doing it for their own reasoning, which Im sure in many examples is the case, is it so bad for family/friends or even students and faculty of VT to think people are mourning with them and behind them or in their prayers? I mean, what is your issue with this? You ask if these petitions are gonna cheer people up or make them feel better and maybe it wont for most people, but even if it makes one person or family feel better and these people want to do it isnt it worth it? Then you go on to mention the family of the shooter and say you dont understand the hatred for him. Sure, he may have been picked on, or didnt have any friends but was that the people he shots fault? There are so many other problems in the world and other things to be concerned about...how and why people mourn shouldnt be one of them.

Thome has to be a write in?

That book deal literally makes me sick to my stomach. To think they tried to make this look like it was something that ruined their lives and now that piece of trash is trying to get rich off of it. I really hope nobody buys that book.
