Kroeger with a bit of a slipup, but Slayer really wants to make the roster.

Brian must be visualizing being in Seattle.

So how's Jack been looking?

This wasn't listed as one of the 11 free webcasts....are we sure it is?

Egbert.

With normal positioning, Owens is 0-3 today. Both his hits have landed where a normal OF would be playing.

Agree with Kalapse. When used properly, Mackowiak was great at what he did.

Notorious J. V. B. lookin decent so far.

Rally Crede

Chances are I'll make sub 30k starting off.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 07:00 PM) When your 3 best/most reliable starting pitchers are 23, 26 and 30 and 4, 4 and 3 years away from free agency a lack of starting pitching prospects isn't too worrisome. In fact, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Add in the fact that your 52 year old starter apparently found the fountain of youth in Florida, and it seems even nicer.

Anyone else missing the middle of their MLB.TV picture?

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 03:09 PM) Egbert looks amazing, his control is really good He's your next Jon Garland.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 03:22 AM) The kids would be in school 5 days a week, just not in math/science/English 5 days a week. They need those core classes 5 days a week, or they won't learn as much.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 11:06 AM) In my opinion, it's the length of the school year that is the problem, it's the lack of incentives to become teachers. Teachers need to make more $$, so that more people see teaching as a career. Once teachers get the money they deserve, brighter people will decide to teach and the education system will benefit. I for one would hate having no summer; that is when you go to camp, enjoy the weather and such. I see no reason to change the school year, just give teachers money. Most people aren't in it for the money now, which is both good and bad. The ones you get are fairly dedicated. QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 03:25 PM) How about a longer school day in high school? 7am to 3:30pm. Just like a real job. Most kids in high school are making additional commitments to school that make it over 40 hours a week, between activities and homework. QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) It would be longer classes, and a longer day. It's like that in college. Mon-W-Fr can be English for 1 1/2 hr, Science for 2 hours, History for 1 1/2 hr, Math for 1 1/2 hours, 1 hr gym, two 15 minute breaks, 1 30 minute lunch. Tu-Th can be electives. And I think most college students feel less engaged and learn less per class than they ever did in high school. At least I feel that way. QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 05:22 PM) I changed my thought. In high school, there's no time for learning because an hour is barely enough time to cover everything. Re: tired, go to bed like an adult and you won't be tired. If there's a longer day, there's a shorter year. It's an hour due to attention span. There's so much debate on block classes because of this. QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 05:23 PM) Mine was 7:45 to 2:20, but if the day is longer, there's less of a chance for kids to get in trouble after school and more of a chance for teachers to actually teach. If kids are going to get in trouble, an hour at the end of the school day isn't gonna change it. QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 05:32 PM) There can be exemptions for athletics and music students who do after school activities. The gym hour can slide to the last hour of the day and can be used as practice time. Then you're completely overloading your phys. ed teachers. QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 05:33 PM) There's not much difference between 7:30/7:45 and 7:00am. They all feel way too early. Trust me, especially in rural districts, it'd suck. Day starts at 7? Better be at school by 6:45. Could be a half hour drive or more, if you're getting picked up by a bus. Say the bus picks you up at 6 AM. Then you're probably up by 5:30 at the absolute latest. That gives a kid 7.5 hours of sleep if he went to bed at 10.....which kids don't and can't do. You'll have more luck asking for practices to be held before school and have the school day pushed to start at something like 10 am and getting pushed to 5 or 6 pm. QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 06:38 PM) Plus, there would be less homework and more homework time because the core classes would only be M-W-F, instead of every day. When you have a class on Monday, you'll have Monday and Tuesday night to do homework for it before Wednesday's class. The Tues-Thur classes would be electives, less likely to have homework. QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 08:20 PM) Yeah, it will suck only doing 3 lesson plans a week as opposed to 5 and finishing the school year on May 15. HAVE to have kids 5 days a week. They'll learn less if you only have them two or three. You lose all flow without consecutive days of learning. Wasn't it harder to adjust during snow days in the winter?

I hope he pitches with a watch on all year.

Is it in any way related to Wilder's bar?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 11:43 PM) Hardly any banks take change through a drive through, that's well known. Why the f*** were you putting 84 cents into a bank? That's what a jar at your house is for, and then you bring that inside the bank. Hmmm....they've ALWAYS done it in the banks I'd used at home. I was getting rid of the change, plus depositing checks. It's not like I stopped by with the sole purpose of emptying my pocket.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 04:39 PM) It's not a dumptruck. It was 84 cents in an envelope. They do it in my hometown. I can understand not taking someone's piggy bank, but it was literally the spare change out of my pocket. It's a damn bank.

Gonna watch Harrison Barnes play tonight.

QUOTE (ChesterCopperpot @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) Should I know who Clevelan Santeliz is? Should you know or should you care?

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) I met Chris Stewart 4 years ago when he was with B'ham. He's a hell of a nice guy and a workhorse behind the plate. I hope he gets the backup job. I've never met him, but he seems like he'd be a decent fit as backup C. He's got the D, which would be nice for once.

Sage Rosenfels is the new starting QB for the Vikings.

Wasn't a tube driveup. This driveup is one of those things right at the window. I can see how my 17 coins would overload them.
