Quick - name the player: (National League) - tied for first in hits (47) - second in runs (32) - sixth in batting average (.336) - tied for ninth in steals (8) - 17th in on-base % (.400) - tied for 14th in doubles (10) - tied for sixth in triples (3) The answer is in my avatar/sig. Hanley Ramirez. Guess all those crazy rumors about him underproducing in the minors because he was bored w/ the lack of competition might actually be true. ROY!

www.absentelement.com Chris' band before AI. Some radios are picking up the song Keep Me Close. It's decent enough. He would be great fronting a band.

I heard the ferry will take you back to the barracks as well.

Did anyone mention Chris Capuano as being underrated? 18 wins last year and a great lefty.

For the record, they are saying that a known band is going to offer Chris their frontman position on the TV show Extra. I totally would listen to/buy a Fuel CD w/ Chris as the singer. I always kinda liked Fuel (although their last CD was kinda ehhhh)... I feel like "Shimmer" will be a song that will still be popular or at the very least bring back good memories for a lot of people my age 10 years from now. So, I hope it's them.

Yeah but we don't know the official name, do we? The video posted w/ the chick a while back was obviously a fake and we've only seen two "Orientation" videos. Just a thought.

Alex Gordon was one of the top picks in last years draft. He hasn't played in a major league game. His rookie cards are selling for like $3500-$7500. These are non autographed, non game used BASE TOPPS cards. Why?? Well - MLB itself instituted a new rule this season that all players appearing on cards must be on the teams 40 man roster. They had to pull Alex at the last minute because he didn't make the 40 man roster - but a few cards slipped out and are selling for a mint. Joy bidders on eBay? Not really - the winning bidder in 90% of the auctions is Keith Olbermann. A huge card collector. Alot of these are being found in Walmart - so if you happen to see a rack pack w/ Gordon's card on the top...buy it. You can cash in like this guy. Rack pack bought by Olbermann Crazy.

The Hanso Foundation commercial was sponsored by Sprite. Is it the soft drink company or is it... S: wan P: earl R: ? I: ? T: ? E: ?

FYI: This product is pretty terrible. I love coffee and I'm hopelessly addicted to Diet Coke so I thought it would be a winner. Wrong - I want my $5 back.

Overrated: Dontrelle Willis. Yeah - I went there. He'll never have a season as good as last year.

The last two episodes are a Michael and a , though. How exactly can they tie Libby in to that? This was a great, great episode, by the way and opened up a whole new slew of questions. PS: I'm w/ Eko. Something important is probably going on under the guise of a psych experiment.

There is an interview w/ all of them in Maxim (Meadow Soprano on the cover). They all got along fine.

Paula was in tears when they announced it. He's gonna make it the furthest and everyone knows it.

Well - I'm not willing to go that far - but I really do think that Bierko is a total wildcard and it wouldn't be a safe bet to just assume he's on the exact same page as Henderson/Logan/Bluetooth dudes. He has his own agenda.

It might be hard to get promoted by a dead president.

No thread - but one of my favorite episodes - definitely of the season and maybe ever. The jokes just all hit for me (especially the Muppets balcony joke). The whole Poltergeist bit provided a ton of jokes that didn't start out "This is worse than that time..." and the flying out of Meg's BUTT was pretty good. Gooooooood episode, IMO.

I don't think Libby is dead. And tonight's episode was all kinds of awesome.

The way I remember it is that CTU/Jack saved him - they took him back to CTU and then he was never seen again. Am I remembering incorrectly?

I'm about as optimistic of a fan as you're going to find, but I have to admit that even I am having a hard time watching all of the Marlins games... already. It doesn't help that one of my favorite players has been on the DL almost all season (Hermida) and that Joe Girardi makes some absolutely baffling decisions (since when is Matt F'N Herges an everyday guy?). It's gonna be a long year.

FUCK all that. Where the HELL is Behrooooooooooooz?? No one, NO ONE swings a meaner shovel. I loved tonight's episode - but that goes without saying. I always love 24. I've probably liked every episode ever made to this point.

The dog whisperer? Holy shit - I hate that douche.

Wait a second, where did that promise come from?

WHAAAAA?

Awesome trade for the Giants.

Maybe the Giants can STILL get Justice??
