LMAO!! I'm sorry Tony. I wouldn't worry about it. The atmosphere would be crazy all over Bridgeport I'm sure everyone would be partying!!!

Except you can't stay in the lots during the game. If you don't have a ticket you have to leave the lot. You can leave your car there, but you can't party in the lot. Insurance reasons.

That one with the Hambuger Helper hand is hysterical!!!!

Which is exactly what happened. Rex posted, I made some calls. Raffy confirmed it for me, I asked Wills and it went from there.

All Star tickets in the LD outfield went for $1000. If the Sox made it the series.. I'd bet they'd be every bit as expensive as the Red Sox tickets are now for the simple reason that it never happens. The Yanks tickets a few years ago were only selling a few hundred over face. I think my uncle paid $450 for seats down the 1B line.

I have to be honest... right now.. at this point in my life.. I would pay anything (the discovery of Tom Sawyer helps with this decision But Jim knows that I would pay whatever.. and go alone if we could only afford 1. I've been to 4 WS in my life and every one of them was awesome. I can't even begin to imagine if the Sox were playing in one.

LMAO!! I'll mention this to Jim and see what he says. I think he told the guy no thanks already. It was some moron sales guy who's just a consultant. Jim can't stand those guys..

What's the face value of them anyway..??

Whatever the Sox charge me.

You are kidding, right...?

And I can guarantee that the only reason Levine is reporting on it is because Rex posted the information.

Jim got offered tickets to St Louis WS games for $200 each.. of course.. they prefer we buy them ASAP.. as in BEFORE the game is played tonight. :rolly

Yea. That's her. She cracks me up.

Uhhh.. OK.

Ellen is funny.. but, IMO, she depends on the lesbian jokes too much. Her special on HBO did make me laugh.. but a lot of the punchlines were gay related and... well.. I simply couldn't relate.

Hmm... Including those 2... 3. That girl from SNL is on it also. I can't remember her name. The one that now has a semi movie gig. I think she's famous for saying "I'm a Supppa Star". She cracks me up.

Brette Butler is the most hysterical female I've ever seen. Roseanne is a close second. Even if you don't like them you have to appreciate their jokes. And both of them write/wrote their own during their stand up days.

How true that is Rex....

Make sure this thread gets saved Mike...

You won't believe the end... EL PASO, Texas - Taxi driver Ismael Baeza's back seat passengers didn't appear to have any money and didn't seem to know exactly where they lived, but he didn't give up on getting them home. Baeza, 24, picked up an elderly couple Monday who wanted to go to their hometown in Bandera, west of San Antonio. "About halfway through the trip, I found out that they didn't have the money to pay for the trip," Baeza said in a report in Wednesday's El Paso Times. "It was either drop them off at the next town or keep going. Something told me to just keep going. I couldn't leave them off in one of those little towns." The trip took 10 hours and covered 500 miles from El Paso to Bandera and would have been a $1,200 fare for Baeza. Baeza's father, Sam, accompanied him and bought food and drinks for the couple along the way. "I just took them all the way into town and thought, well, it's not about the money anymore," Baeza said Tuesday. Bandera police believe the couple may have Alzheimer's disease (news - web sites) and aren't sure how they ended up in El Paso. Baeza said the couple told them they couldn't take a bus or plane home because of their parrot. Baeza said the parrot whistled all the way. Once they were in Bandera, Baeza said he asked the man where his home was and the man said it was four hours away. That's when Baeza asked for police help. They identified the couple and handed them off to sheriff's deputies, who got them to their home in Bandera County. "In my opinion, the man's a saint," Bandera police Sgt. Mark Burke said of Baeza. "In my job, I don't deal with many nice guys, but as far as I'm concerned, this guy walks on water." Baeza said the couple gave him several hundred dollars in traveler's checks. He wasn't sure Tuesday if they were any good. Police later discovered the woman had about $2,000 to $3,000 in her wallet.

NEW ORLEANS - He wanted a bit of company, so he bought a pair of bunnies. He ended up with more company than he could handle. Given the run of the house, the little furballs did what rabbits are known for. In less than a year, the man, whose name the Louisiana SPCA withheld on grounds that he was embarrassed enough already, had 73 rabbits. They chewed the furniture. They burrowed into chairs, couches and mattresses. They processed food faster than their owner could clean up after them. Finally, said SPCA Executive Director Laura Maloney, he passed out. Then he moved out and called his doctor for help. The doctor called the SPCA, which chased rabbits through the house for much of the day Monday. Now — though a few have been adopted — it still has lots and lots, and is asking other area shelters for help. "The rabbits were clean and healthy, even though the house wasn't," said Kathryn Destreza, director of animal services. Maloney said the man was not cited and does not have the mental disorder called animal hoarding, Maloney said. Hoarders collect strays and shelter animals in a misguided attempt to love and care for them, and rarely ask for help, she said. "He was a very nice man who recognized he was in a situation where he needed help."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A pastor says he was "just kidding" when he told airport security he had a bomb, reached into his luggage and pulled out a Bible, declaring, "This is my bomb." Jose L. Gonzalez, a citizen of Spain living in Deltona, Fla., was arrested and charged Sunday with making a false statement. Gonzalez was earlier reported to be part of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. However, organization officials said Wednesday he is not a member of their group. Seventh-day Adventist officials said Gonzalez is part of the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement, a group that broke from the denomination in the mid 1860s and headquartered in Roanoke,Va., officials said. The incident occurred as security screeners at the Nashville International Airport were searching his carry-on bag. Gonzalez, a passenger on an Orlando, Fla.-bound Delta flight, had already raised suspicion when screeners found a laptop computer that he said at first he didn't have. An investigation determined that Gonzalez did not pose a threat, but the FBI (news - web sites) still arrested and charged him with making the statement. "Upon being questioned by airport security officers about the above episode, Gonzalez admitted having said that he had a bomb," a federal criminal complaint states, "but insisted that he was just kidding. "He claimed he had used the term 'bomb' as a way of referring to the Bible as having the ability to change one's life," the complaint states. "He admitted that it had been stupid and that he had not intended any harm." U.S. Magistrate Judge Cliff Knowles presided over Gonzalez's initial court appearance Tuesday and advised him that, if convicted, he faces up to five years in prison and a potential fine of $250,000.

CONFLUENCE, Pa. - A man missed a mouse he was trying to shoot with a small-caliber handgun and wounded his girlfriend instead, state police said. Donald Rugg, 43, of Confluence, was trying to kill the rodent with a .22-caliber handgun when his girlfriend, Cathy Jo Harris, 38, apparently went into the line of fire and was hit in the arm early Tuesday morning, state police said. She was taken to Somerset Hospital where she was listed in fair condition Tuesday, said hospital spokesman Greg Chiappelli. Neither Rugg nor Harris could immediately be reached for comment. State police said they won't charge Rugg, but advised against people shooting firearms inside.
