Believe it or not, I was in a high school play when I was about 24. My brother and a couple of friends had written a play and although they were in no way connected with the school's "thespian" department they were allowed to put on the play. They needed someone to play a drug pusher and I don't know why but they thought that I was right for the role . I told them that I would do it provided I didn't have to say anything. So they kinda rewrote the scene and I did it with no lines. Plus, there was a movie within the play that I was also in (again with no lines). That was my acting career. B)

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 07:43 AM) LOTR Trilogy - Very well done adaptation, and I think I may have enjoyed the films more than the books (I'll probably get scolded for this one) I loved the Lord of the Rings books and for years thought what a great movie (or movies) that it would make. But, I didn't think it could really be done well enough. However, it was. The movies were indeed great. Another one I thought of was A Clockwork Orange. Good book, great movie.

Jaws. The movie was much better than the book. The book had a ridiculous affair between Hooper and Brody's wife. The scene where Quint talks about the USS Indianapolis, which I liked, was not in the book. Jaws sequels were horrendous, but no matter, the original was a real good movie. The book, for me anyway, was disappointing.

Also didnt Nellie Fox only strike out like 13 times in his MVP year? Want some amazing Fox stats? He never struck out more than 18 times in a season and regularly had over 600 ABs. He struck out a total of 216 times in his career (9232 official ABs). He averaged a strikeout something like once every 42 ABs.

I can honestly say, I'm not excited. I just hope Juan sheds some lbs. and hits all year next year like he hit in September.

None of them look familiar to me. Just goes to show how old I am, I guess.

Bourgeois, who has been in a bit of a slump, had a good game as Mochis won 7-5. 3-5, 2B, R, RBI...upped his average to .291. 33 year-old Tomas Perez has been hot in the Venezuelan League. He's batting .389 in 14 games, good for third best in the league.

If it's any of those guys, please let it be Jack Wilson. Sure, Khalil Greene would hit about 30 hrs, but his ba/obp probably wouldn't be that great and you could count on 130 or so Ks. The Sox don't need another guy like that.

Egbert started for Phoenix tonight and went four innings. leaving with a 5-1 lead. Game still in progress. Egbert: 4 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 3 BB, 3 K Sweeney: 1-3, RBI Getz: 1-2, R

Wing, Bourgeois and Gilbert.

Phoenix won yesterday, 12-5. Good day for Sweeney (.250): 3-5, 2 R, RBI Getz (.279): 1-5, R, 2 RBI Lucy (.179): 2-4, R, RBI Day (1.80): 1 IP, K Hernandez (0.00): 1 IP, 2 K Mochis lost, Bourgeois (.287): 1-4

But now there's halloween peeps and Christmas peeps. And as early as stores put the stuff out, there's nearly peeps available all year. That's a good thing, but makes them a little less special.

Gonna buy you a Chevrolet, just to do something for you. I'll buy you a Chevrolet if you'll just give me some of your love girl. Now give it here, you never should have promised to me, Give it here, don't hold back now give it here, don't say nothing just give it here, come on, give it here. Why keep me cold when it's so warm inside? Come on baby, your love is too good to hide.
