  1. One of Brian's friends is a rabid Cardinals fan and his wedding is on 10/31 of this year. He said if they are in the WS and playing that day he is post-poning the wedding (which is fine by me because then I get my high-holy day back lol).
  2. That makes it even sweeter... Garbage on the field, eh. Will it be in the press tonight/tomorrow... (Note to self: don't call aunt for a few days...)
  3. What's with the finger wagging Zambrano does after a strikeout?
  4. Report: Michael Jackson Fathers Quads Report: Michael Jackson Fathers Quads US Magazine Reports Surrogate Mom Lives In Florida Pop star Michael Jackson is reportedly going to be a father again. According to US weekly magazine, Jackson will soon add four more children to his family. Sources told the magazine that an unidentified woman in Florida is the surrogate mother. She is reportedly pregnant with quadruplets. The Jackson camp is not denying nor confirming the story. Jackson is currently facing charges of child molestation in California.
  5. I agree with that. I'm not too fond of him though; I find him to be irritating and condescending.
  6. Didn't Garland get tossed for something like that a few months back?
  7. I'm at New Wilkes Road (something like that lol) and Golf Road (across the street from Portillo's).
  8. I worked in Elk Grove when those talks were going on - never did know ('til now) where the exact proposed location was. That's about a mile (or 2) due north of where I was...and it is about 2 miles east of where I work now.

    She was trying to commit suicide - that's why she was fighting the officer.

    Better writing of the story: GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A state trooper saved a woman's life by holding onto her arm as she tried to plunge off the side of a bridge in a scene captured on a squad car video camera. After a brief chase, the suicidal woman pulled onto the Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge, got out of her car and walked straight to the edge. Trooper Les Boldt rushed over, grabbed her right arm and hung on with both hands. "When I first got a hold of her, she went over and my feet slipped a little bit and I squatted down and stuck my knees into the barrier," said Boldt, 34. "I had to hunker down so I didn't get pulled over myself." For a few moments, both their lives hung in the balance about 200 feet over the Fox River. After hanging onto the 36-year-old woman for 16 seconds, Boldt was joined by Brown County Sheriff's Sgt. Bill Morgan, who grabbed the woman's other arm. A third deputy helped them hoist her over the wall. The trooper had been following the woman on Interstate 43 at speeds up to 105 mph after authorities received a call to check on her welfare. She apparently was suffering from postpartum depression and her family was worried she might be suicidal. On the bridge, the woman's fall was interrupted by a blue steel bridge support just below the concrete barrier, and Boldt said he might not have been able to hang on long enough if the beam hadn't been there. But the woman continued fighting Boldt after he had her arm, clawing at his grip on her wrist. The woman was taken to Aurora BayCare Medical Center with minor injuries. Boldt suffered scratches and shrugged off suggestions that he did anything out of the ordinary, although he said it was the most eventful day he's ever had.

    Police Rescue Caught On Tape The end of a dramatic chase in Green Bay, Wis., is caught Monday on a police dashboard camera. The chase ends with a female suspect being pulled to safety by a police officer. The suspect is described as a 36-year-old woman. Authorities say she ran from police at speeds approaching 100 mph before stopping on the Leo Frigo Bridge. She exited the car and walked to the edge. State trooper Les Bolt quickly closed in and grabbed the woman just as she threw herself over the side. He pulled the woman back and was able to hold on until help arrived. Two more officers helped pull her back to safety. Bolt received minor injuries in the scuffle. The woman was taken to a local hospital to be examined.

  13. I was wondering that as well when I saw that last night. Whatever floats your boat I guess.
  14. Glad to read that I wasn't the only one appalled by that...
  15. Damn straight, Steff. Gotta have a good whine every now and then.
  16. Unsave? I don't know about that but it does appear to have some safety issues... lol
  17. I hope, for the Cards sake, there isn't one, but if there is one it will be after the game is out of hand.
