There have been something like 15 perfect games and one 20 strikeout game in baseball history. You can make a pretty good case for Wood.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 06:54 PM) This is an incredibly awful basketball game. No joke. It is hard to believe that this is a couple of top 10 teams.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 07:08 PM) That's kind of what I thought. Is this an ETF? http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GOLD In my Schwab account I can buy "shares" of this and that's sort of what it sounds like you're talking about. That is actually a company. This is what I was thinking. Ishares and powershares are the two leading names in the ETF field. http://goldetf.net/

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 07:10 PM) So this week corporations started restating earnings estimates based on the new healthcare bill enacted. And now the rat Waxman is doing what he does best, holding a hearing to grandstand and try to make these ceo's look like the bad guys. This isn't how they thought it would play out. Reform was supposed to lower costs. LMAO!!! So far I believe we are close to 1.5 billion dollars and counting. Who would have thought, companies are not going to eat these costs, Medicare recipients will. ATT is writing of a cool billion by itself. I can't imagine that is good for hiring.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 07:11 PM) Kirk is the starting SF. Why is Pargo starting... Really? The Bulls must want into the lottery.

I don't know that I have ever seen a college basketball team shoot the three so badly.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 07:02 PM) A friend of mine told me that last night. What's the difference between an ETF and a mutual fund? (Cliff's notes version please, lol) ETF is essentially taking something and making it a "stock". You take whatever its underlying is (in this example gold) and translate it to a per share price. It exactly mirrors whatever it follows, but the ETF price is based on shares instead of ounces or bushels or whatever. Honestly it is a supersimple product in general because of its set up. The full term is electronically traded fund.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 07:00 PM) Which is very similar to what they got away with Thursday night.... They can get away with it because they have a front line that would make a lot of NBA teams jealous.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 06:27 PM) Any recommendations on which company to buy? Personally, I would stick with an ETF.

And Kentucky can't hit anything outside of the lane.

Damn that lead went quick.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) Because he threw a perfect game. falling under #4 pretty much.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 05:12 PM) Correct. The SciAm article I linked above talks about what could happen given a hypothetical nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan. I'm a disasters buff. I just finished a great book on the San Fran earthquake of 1906 by Simon Winchester.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) But I don't think fans today need such an extensive spring training to get ready. I've been freaking out abut the DH situation on my own since January. I've been freaking out about giving a terrible hitter the most PAs on the team since December. Needless to say, I'm ready for the season. Well it wasn't like that back in my day. We went home and worked during the winter, unlike these overpaid fans of toady.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) lol... well Balta can correct me on this but I think the smoke and whatnot will go above the level of the atmosphere that holds rain, so it won't wash away and will drop the temperature a few dozen degrees The term is nuclear winter IIRC.

This run could be the knock out blow by Butler.

Ugh. Next thing you know the Cubs will win a world series or something else just as s***ty...

QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) This. Since the U.S. and Russia both have full nuclear triads (China does too but not as many) it's difficult to impossible to take out the full capability, so many of them can be deployed within a few minutes. Yeah, you'd take some bombers out before they get off the ground, hit a silo before the launch gets off, might get lucky and take out some submarines, but the rest are coming for you and it's going to be devastating. There is a link somewhere I'll post when I find explaining what exactly would happen. The loss of population won't all be directly related to nuclear blasts, it will come from things like starvation, radiation sickness, etc. And just imagine the carbon emissions@!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 26, 2010 -> 10:09 PM) My god.. all that talent. I would kill to have his abilities, as I probably would already be damn good in this league. I didn't think anyone would surpass Ryan Leaf as one of the biggest top 3 bust. This guy might destroy that. Any idea how much guaranteed money is left in that deal?

Nice response by Butler to the KState run. keep the intensity up guys!

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) I think I just heard that the Cubs just traded Theriot for a PTBNL. I don't see anything about Theriot, but Andres Blanco was shipped to Texas for PTBNL

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 03:15 PM) Apparently the season really needs to start because people are freaking out. Really it is just the spring training for the fans who are getting into midseason freak out form.

Nice dirty look from Self when Seth Davis mentioned the UNI upset as being one of the benchmark upsets in the tournament...

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) From Merkin 4 minutes ago, take from it what you like: Glad to hear it.

Too bad we can't unleash the same forces on Moveon.org that we supposedly did against Acorn... http://www.examiner.com/x-5919-Norfolk-Cri...off-mans-finger
