sorry

I was busy watching Mariano Rivera choke in a tie situation yet again.

It was indeed BA. They are reporting a big league deal, but not much else.

tsk tsk

im disappointed in you BF. how can you keep watching the Yankees for your baseball disappointments when the Reds so consistently and thoroughly stink? i mean, why eat hamburgers when you can have steak?

by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 15, 2008 11:46 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I dunno

It’s kind of a tie this season when it comes to baseball disappointments.

And now the Royals are leading by 1 run (on a Mo wild pitch). Justin Christian just got picked off in the bottom of ninth. Arrrghhhh.

F'real?

I was just going to say that I know next to nothing about the situation but I don’t have a good feeling about it.

Time to dump Patterson...

Dickerson to CF
Votto to LF
Alonso to 1B

im cool with that

but Alonso probably wont even play organized baseball until the fall leagues. so lets move Votto to LF and keep LLM at 1B. he’s made some good catches and would probably hit 30 HRs if he got regular playing time.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 15, 2008 11:41 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I agree....

The season is lost already, we might as well start transitioning Votto into LF as soon as we can. Give him some reg season experience so he has some idea what he’s doing before ST…

And 30 HR should allow for lots of chants of “LLM!!”

Charlie were at Madison lanes the other night?

That’s what all the good ol’ boys was sayin’ ’bout Javy.

You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.

I was in an accident the other day

the guy got out of his car and he was a short person. He was really upset and came up to my window and said “I am not happy!” So I asked if he was “Doc”…

That’s when the fight started, your honor

I really hope we got him for less that 5 mil...

I think 4 mil and a ML contract shoulda been plenty…

Agreed sort of

There’s some cool architecture in Dallas, but I really do like Ft. Worth.

The entire state of Texas

is best passed by.

by havanaconnect on Aug 16, 2008 12:03 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yes.

And it was nice, but by no means made up for the horrible parts of the state. Like, say, Houston. Ugh.

Yeah

Houston is horrid.

I continue to be blown away

by the fact that more than 5.6 million people have neglected to escape from the Houston metro area.

I guess traffic was bad

and it’s hard to see out of Houston with all the smog…

"blown away"

“neglected to escape”

Gray does not care about black people.

didn’t know * translated to bold

by iamwallaman on Aug 16, 2008 12:05 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah,

I always used the tag until I tried to surround my word with * and realized it wouldn’t let me.

by Brian B on Aug 16, 2008 12:06 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

See

I didn’t even use the tag to end it, and this “smart” site filled it in for me. Not cool.

by Brian B on Aug 16, 2008 12:07 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Let me try again.

I always used the “” tag to bold until I tried to use the “*” one time.

by Brian B on Aug 16, 2008 12:08 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Goddamn it.

What do I have to do to actually show the tags?

by Brian B on Aug 16, 2008 12:08 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

this might help

Use the “entity name” rather than the pointy brackets.
