  1. This will come back to bite me in the ass...but i think we've seen the last of Vince McMahon has a regular tv character.
  2. Hell. If Bob Dole's war injury wasn't so obvious his story would of been checked. Did i miss something or did John Kerry do something for 20 years that allowed him to win the Democratic nomination for President?
  3. Easy they didn't show up. Every team does that a long win streak, with the exception of St.Louis.
  4. Every track event seems to have someone from a 3rd world country who finishes like 10 seconds behind the next to last finisher in the race.
  5. Jesse and the family life in nice secluded area of Dellwood, MN about 3 miles from where i grew up.
  6. Austin getting hit by the car. Giants debut in WCW. Hogan seeing Warrior in the mirror.
  7. The Boston College/Miami Hail Mary is so overrated. Michigan/Colorado and LSU/Kentucky are better.
  8. Player/Manager was common place in the early years of the game. Al mentioned Frank Chance. Who is probably more deserving of making it has a manager than player. Another player/manager from the same time period is Fred Clarke. He was an excellent player, and one the best managers of is era. Arguably HOF worthy, in that category.
  9. The possibily that a wild pitch or something occurs during the AB that allows the runner to move to 3rd which depending on the number of outs might allow the runner to score on an out. If the runners on third, a mistake by the pitcher might allow the runner to score.
  10. David Ortiz. David Ortiz. David Ortiz. David Ortiz. David Ortiz. David Ortiz.
  11. Al. Larry Bowa isn't the one pitching horribly. ~sarcasm if anyone couldn't tell~
  12. Kennedy's been Punk'd!
  13. Ventura would spend entire shows talking about JFK conspiracy theories. In this interview it just sounds like he's asking why it took so long for jets to scramble and how air traffic controllers could of missed those planes. Not exactly far-fetched conspiracy questions.
  14. I'd say that has more to do with knowing fundamentals than knowing team chemestry. Team chemestry, as commonly known, refers to the idea that players play at their best in a harmonious environment, which is best created by having the right players, a mix of an outspoken leader, good clubhouse guys, and whoever the media latches onto this week. It's a highly suspect area, because good "team chemestry" is commonly associated with a winning team, leading to the old chicken or the egg argument. When's the last time you read of a losing team with great team chemestry? Maybe a younger team with a losing record with a promising future.
  15. I told my brother Nathan would blow it, and Sheffield took a pitch low and out of the strikezone into left-center. Really not Nathan's fault. Than he predicted the Matsuhi hit. A bad game for Nathan. Hopefully it's a blip and he's back to normal.
  16. The A's haven't had a healthy Big 3 during any of their playoff appearances. Moneyball is fine. Many of the ideas are essential in winning baseball games. However, i've never liked the idea of complety ignoring the "smallball" aspects of the game. Most teams throughout baseball, have done a combination of both and it's worked out.
  17. Can the Twins please for the rest of the season play consistent baseball. No more winning 8 out of 10, than losing 6 out of 8. With that said. The Twins can win in the 1st round. The hitting if on is good enough, it's even better if Mauer comes back. The bullpen is solid, and Radke and Santana are great at the front of the rotation.
  18. Yes. But, Bush as the President has a bully pulpit Kerry doesn't have. As much has Kerry campaigns. Bush can demonstrate why he should be reelected by being the President. Of course he can do the opposite. All Kerry can do his campaign and try to sell himself to the voters.
  19. You couldn't find to more opposite personalities. Nixon was a paranoid jackass. Bush seems like a genuinely nice guy, who for whatever reason the extreme left hate.
  20. He also doesn't have the tresure chest Bush has, so Kerry can't run has many ads.
  21. Kerry's campaigning he was in Ohio Wednesday.

    A Thought

    I don't think Bush is dumb. He's just not the best public speaker. Sometimes he can be very good, other times he really struggles. The man also has a BA from the Harvard School of Business. That's not something you get because your father was the Embassador to the UN at the time. You have to earn that degree. I'm pretty much with Mike. I'm voting for Bush because i feel he's the better man for the job. However if Kerry wins, he wins. The President can't always be someone you like politically. A lot of ways that's probably for the best.
  23. A nice win for the Twins tonight. Hopefully Koskie is getting his act together. Santana vs Mussina Wednesday night. The Twins should win that one. The schedule continues to be a bitch. 2 more vs NY, 3 vs Cleveland, 4 at Texas, 3 at Anaheim, and 3 vs Texas.
  24. Just figure the bad Rix will show up the opener against Miami. I know it's only 1 vote, but why did anyone vote for Penn St. and Texas A&M.
  25. I thought Rugby already was an event.
