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.

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.

Sweet. Something to watch after the Marlins game. Thanks!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rashad McCants, Marvin Williams, Sean May, and Raymond Felton all leaving early for the NBA. Jawad Millians, Jackie Manuel, and Scott all graduating. UNC's 7 top scorers from last season will all be gone this year. The only remaining player who started a game is Quentin Thomas. Yikes. I picked a good time to transfer back to Cornell - but at least in one year of living in Chapel Hill I got a national championship. Back to rebuilding for Roy and the boys.

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.

Double post.

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.

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?"

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.

You're welcome, Kyle.

Juan Encarnacion with an RBI single and 2 run HR tonight. I don't want it to ever stop.

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.

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.

Vicente Padilla lighting up the scoreboard tonight... for the Mets.

These are very efficient terrorists. They took down Air Force 1, recovered a nuclear football, and stole a nuclear warhead all within 1 and 1/2 hours.

Fluke start is in he is doing worse than expected, or better? Better. He has the second highest OPS on the Marlins, and a very Un-Encarnacion-like .362 OBP. That's also before tonight when he had a pair of RBI hits. He's been hitting in the 5 spot for the past two games, and actually producing there. It's remarkable.

Hey Al, Encarnacion: Fluke start, or was the injured shoulder excuse not really an excuse? And Dontrelle just gives up a HR to Vidro to end the scoreless streak.

I've watched both of D-Train's complete games this year and he looks just as good tonight as he did in either of them. He's through only 4 with no runs, but he is on fire.
