    I think the Cubs window was 03-04. I just can't see them advancing to the playoffs this year, unless they get some major help in July/August.

    REPORT ANY TROUBLES HERE

    I didn't even notice a difference, so I'd imagine that's a good sign.

    Jinx. It was the weirdest homerun ever. Miguel came in first, then kept going back and it actually bounced off the top of the scoreboard and out. Oh well. Will still most likely move to 4-0.

    Anyone here ever tried a diet?

    In a clinical trial comparing all the popular diets, Weight Watchers was far and away found to be the most successful. It's not the diet itself, but the constant emotional support people receive from others. It keeps the motivated and on the right track.

    I don't know, but MLB.com keeps sending me emails that say Vote Early and Vote Often. Stupid.

    First new Family Guy episode leaked

    GI JOE! It's nice owning land. Blues Brothers. Passion 2! "Peter, we've stolen Mel Gibson's bath towels and Nazi Paraphanelia. We can't steal his movie." Stewie's look when Brian says upside down...face. Great episode.

    I think callmeitchy is Anglesault. He seems to be Mr. Positive over there.

    AJ Burnett has 11 Ks through 5. He won't make it past the 7th, I don't think. His pitch count is pretty high. But he also leads the NL in triples with 2.

    Anyone here ever tried a diet?

    Bruiser, physical activity is more important than diet for a few reasons. Far and away number one is it has effects on the body that ALONE prevent disease apart form weight loss. Won't bore anyone with the biochem, but exercise increases glucose transporters to get it out of the blood and into cells to greatly reduce the chance of diabetes. The mechanism is completely independent of weight loss. Exercise also has this effect in many other areas. In terms of losing weight, all that matters is that in is less than out - any way possible. In terms of general health - NOTHING beats physical activity.

    Anyone here ever tried a diet?

    IDRM, that's not a diet. That's a lifestyle change. I have a degree in nutrition and that's what we try to preach to anyone. 95% of people who try a fad diet will gain back all of the weight within 3 years. To lose weight and keep it off, you have to change your life. Sounds like that's what you did. No fancy tricks, no bullshit. Just exercise a bit and monitor calories. The low carb diet books are filled with bullshit. The real reason a low carb diet works is as follows: 1) immediate removal of water and glycogen stores - causing a dramatic weight loss (but no fat loss) 2) people seeing the positive results and getting motivated to try harder - causing further weight loss All of the ketosis, thermic effect of food and whatever bull they throw at you is nonsense. You're on the right track.

    Summer Movies.

    I want to see Batman, but I picked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I'm just looking forward to that most of all the movies on the list.

    I don't hate Reitsma that much anymore. If the Braves could score runs, they'd be unbeatable Yet they don't even have the best pitching staff in their division. And to this point, it's not even been close.

    Bill Plaschke knows nothing abou baseball. I love ATH but they are awful with baseball. Even the topics are bad. On both ATH and PTI they debated whether Dontrelle Willis would win the NL Cy Young. Half of the ATH Panel and Wilbon both said he WOULD. He's the 3rd best pitcher on the team! Plaschke is the worst on ATH and you're right... he knows nothing about the Dodgers.
  19. You guys mentioned all my favorite parts as well, except... "Sir! Sir! That is my hoe, sir! I paid for her and she is my hoe. Sir! "Grab my cane, nutgobbler." And all the stuff with Butters.... "Whose droppin' bombs in there?"

    American Idol Season 4

    Of course Scott stays, and he will next week too when Anthony gets eliminated. That's right, ladies and gents, Scott Savol will make the top 5. I know this is gonna sound really gay, but I actually liked that group song for once.

    Juan Encarnacion with an RBI single and 2 run HR tonight. I don't want it to ever stop.
  22. Sounds good. Episode count..hmmm... let's see if I can do it off the top of my head: 1) Negroplasty 2) Cartman kills hippies 3) Kenny/Schiavo 4) Cartman dies 5) Talent agents 6) The baseball one 7) This one If it's true that there are only 7 this run... this is the last one.

    American Idol Season 4

    I got my vote in for Scott last night! I just want to hear him look like he received the most surprising news of his life, thank Jesus 13 consecutive times, and give a bearhug to the closest person when he finds out he's not eliminated...again. Can't miss TV.

    Juan Encarnacion just ripped his 2nd double of the night, tying him for the NL lead. This is nuts.
