EVIL~! alkeiper

Meanwhile Kansas St. over USC is the first upset of the tournament.

Apparently it was due to his $850,000 guaranteed contract that would have kicked in if he were not cut.

I think it's the smartest thing the NHL has done in maybe 20 years. This game is going to draw HUGE ratings. I have no issue since Yankee Stadium was not exclusively a baseball stadium. The New York Giants played there, it hosted several championship fights, even Jim Londos wrestled there.

Al, Vin Baker the basketball player...not Vin Diesel the actor! Goddamn. I seem to remember him playing for the Celtics. No strong recollections.

Yeah, but it's been awhile.

I'm not. Quite frankly, I don't think I would have it in me to shoot another person. I live in a fairly quiet residential neighborhood, so I'm never threatened. Undecided, leaning towards Barack Obama. I won't get into the political reasons much because I don't feel strongly, and this thread will no doubt balloon if I do. I am not terribly impressed with any of the candidates. No. I honestly can't remember hearing about him since XXX came out. I've never actually seen a movie he's in.

It's silly. Who doesn't look up baseball stats when they need them? Is there something inherently bad about looking up statistics? Does it imply that I only seem smart about baseball because I repeat shit I read? I think anyone who talks to me about baseball (especially in person) realizes I know way too much for my own good, and most of it really isn't statistics.

The shame is that Valentine's best stuff is rarely seen, his heel run in the early 80s against guys like Backlund and Piper where he was borderline sadistic.

I'm never in the shower with other men, nor was I ever in such an activity in my school days. Not beyond that you post here. Heh, this isn't quite the Ask Al your baseball questions thread. In this case though, I think it's that canadian baseball owners haven't figured out how to make baseball into an entertainment destination like here in the states. In the case of the Expos, the owners flat out shit on it.

Not really. Cream Soda or Root Beer? Cream soda, diet from A&W. Birch beer owns both of them though, I don't know if it's popular other places or if it's just a Pennsylvania Dutch thing. Store brand Diet White Birch Beer is the shit.

I still want to run "Marvin Free Day" at some point in the near future.

Primarily I manage a cafe. I also do part time work for Baseball Info Solutions as a stats stringer, that involves going to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre games and marking hit locations and such. The perk there is prime seating rather than pay, though it's nice side money.

Oddly, those Blue Cheese ones in the flavor mix bags, but those don't come separately. Cool ranch, they taste well and you don't need napkins to eat them.

I'm just worried that she'll make the tape and we'll have to deal with her again. There's enough crazy russian chicks in porn to fill that void already.

Somewhat. But I'd likely have no problem switching my allegiance to the Oakland A's (Philly connection). It's difficult to cheer for a club you are utterly distanced from. One advantage though, 4pm start times!

When the weather clears up. F'n Poconos.

Yeah. Your reviews fit the cardinal rule, which is that the play by play is easily skippable so we can read the star ratings and bitch. Probably the history. Baseball has a million good stories behind it. I don't want to say the stats, but it's a game that is really quantifiable, it is much easier to break down and analyze than any other sport. It also helps that baseball in my region is so accessable. There are literally over a dozen teams within a two hour drive, most of whom charge less than $10 a ticket. For five months, it's great live entertainment on any night. Instead of working your schedule around it, you find which day you have free, THEN make plans.

The only thing that becomes a problem is overall lack of direction. We post at different folders, so disagreements never seem to come up.

Mole, stop talking.

The Orioles really should pick up Juan Uribe. They're kidding themselves if they are going to run with Luis Hernandez.

Merging threads since I think Czech will explode before long.

Yeah I know. Forums.thesmartmarks.com is serious business!

Absolutely not. Stealing accounts is still a serious issue, and she's openly antagonistic towards the board and posters as it is. She keeps coming back because she thrives on internet drama. At this point, her repeated attempts to hack the board are pathetic.

You can say the same in baseball. Westward expansion hurt them more than anything.
