Not a pool, a Calcutta style tournament. Basically each team is auctioned off with the high bidder "owning" that team. Most Member-Guest golf tournaments at private clubs use that format. The one big difference I see between this and a "draw a team" pool or bracket pool is you aren't just getting a team at random. You have to decide how much you are willing to bet on that team. It's not like everyone tosses in $10 or $100 or $1000 dollars. I might bid and win Gonzaga for $100 and Texas A&M for $250 and you might have Texas last year for $5000 and Notre Dame for $2000. Plus only one person or betting group will have that team. This type of betting is a notch or two above a normal office pool (and more fun) but less than placing a bet with a bookie. I see some sort of suspension. He ain't walking away scott free.

Was it the opening sweep by KC? Earlier? Later? It's all a blur, like the Shock Wave at Six Flags. One moment you're all giddy with excitement, the next moment you're in free fall with s*** dropping everywhere.

Amazing. They probably confiscated the car because of the prior owners involvement in drugs and never checked it. I live near the US-Mex border. I'm not surprised he got caught. The dogs are really good and the agents are well trained.

I traded off picture quality for the convienence of using floppy discs. I really like my Sony Mavica. I don't know of anyone that regrets going to digital photography. Even the serious photogs I know have a digital for snapshots. They will use film for work but grab a digital for the play at school etc.

The league that plays in my neck of the woods is an independant league. These guys are hoping to make it to A or above. Great entertainment. The team actually makes it seem like they are happy to see you. No b.s. just baseball.

A major sport league wouldn't? I disagree ~ they would. I still think Jordan's two year retirement was fishy. And exactly right about just one bat. That one was "extra" special and would have stuck out in his mind. He had the entire story ready to go and I have to admit it was a dam fine story to tell. Spin us another yarn Sammy.

lmao

lol I once had a salesguy working for me. I couldn't figure out why he held onto this dinkball little account on the northside. Turns out he like the fashion show at Biasettis on (I believe) Irving Park Rd. and after lunch a car date a little drive east of there I figured it out when he called a co-worker to come bail him outta jail and he didn't see his car for a couple months. Of course you can't get that action on the way to a nice family activity like a Sox game . . .

MLB is recalling over 500 tainted home runs . . . film at 11:00

Thank you

I'm going to sell aluminum bats filled with helium to make them lighter If they cut open the bats there is no way to get caught. No where to find some really dumb college players . . .

If you attack my enemy you are my friend . . .

Is that legal with aluminum bats or are they suppose to remain hollow?

Spurs where on. I'm not watching baseball until the series is finished, ok I'll peak on off nights I'm so disgusted with bumbling, no passion, error prone, play. I swear what I've been seeing in the Central Professional Baseball League (non affiliated) is better. Go Roadrunners! $1.00 parking. $8 tickets. $1.00 beers (Thirsty Thursdays) $2. hotdogs. Great fajitas. The teams are somewhat evenly matched. Beats trying to watch the Sox on mlb.tv

Not a sweep, I predicted Texas in 6 (before a Spurs victory over Dallas) no reason to change now. Great to see David Robinson have a good game. He is such a class act, great for a post game interview. Go Spurs

Does anyone know if it's legal to cork a bat in college? They allow aluminum, why not cork one?

Why would you need more than 1 bat to be corked? If that bat breaks, you're screwed anyway. You won't get a chance to use the other corked ones. I'm assuming he's going to use it in bp, etc. Why not order three or four and see which one feels best? What if one breaks during pre-game, etc. I heard one of the talking heads say there are companies you can send the bats out to, that a player wouldn't do their own. Amazing. Do you find them in the phone book?

I made the change. Thank you.

The tests are in a MLB states that *only* one bat was corked. OK let's say Shammy only had 1 bat corked, isn't that all the more reason to believe he used it on purpose? According to Shammy, it was a special bat he pulled for bp and exhibitions. If all season you have been looking for that 1 special bat out of 75 or 100 wouldn't it stand out in your mind? Wouldn't you have kept track of it? He never answered when he had it made. If he has been pulling that 1 special bat all season or for multiple seasons he would know exactly which one was corked. Sorry Shammy you're still screwed. The way he's been pouring on the numbers I almost hate seeing him suspended.

I'm going to start voting for him. That clubhouse would be a lot of fun. Sitting next to the guys he screwed by cheating . . .

Yeah right he's going to go through all that trouble for a bp bat which will ruin his tempo during a game. Oh, and it was the only time he ever used it. Tell me another fairy tale. Put a cork and a needle next to his career totals. and isn't this a nice picture of Sammy
