I'm no expert but Psycho scared the living daylights out of me as a young lad.

Turned this off after an hour, just didn't find it all that interesting.

That's great Vic. I like how you break these down to different stages of a career. I think Unforgiven remains my favorite of his.

.330 AVG - 9 - HR - 29 RBI - 8 SB - .404 OBP - .546 SGL - .950 OPS Won't friend me on FB.

Brilliant I knew the movie was trouble when I read about the return to form for Ferrell.

A return to form I'm reading for Will Ferrell , his best since Ricky Bobby said another. Yes or no.....I remember you liking Ricky Booby.

.325 - 8 HR - 28 RBI - 8 SB - .400 OBP - .550 SLG The Cyclones can't be beat and my boy Rylan is a big part of that.(I added the bold) Buckets boy Darrell Ceciliani gets a good mention here to. The Cyclones are unbeatable! In this past week�s play, the team handily won five games in a row, easily beating the Ironbirds, and coming out on top against the hated Yankees. Here�s a look at all the action: Wednesday, July 28 Cyclones 7-Ironbirds 2 The mid-season day off on Tuesday didn�t affect Cyclone bats, as the team socked the second-place Ironbirds with 12 hits � seven of them coming from the first five guys in the powerful Clone lineup. Darrell Ceciliani � who is trying to become the first Cyclone to hit .400 � went 2-for-5 with another triple, while Joe Bonfe, who is no slouch at .357, knocked in three runs. The Cyclones took a 2-0 lead in the first on a Bonfe double. Aberdeen did get two runs off starter A.J. Pinera in the fourth, but that was all the offense that the Ironbirds would muster, and Wes Wrenn would get his third win of the season by blanking Aberdeen for the middle four innings, giving up just two hits. The Cyclones blew the game open in the fifth with two runs, one on Jeff Flagg�s 12th double of the year and then a subsequent single by Bonfe. ADVERTISEMENT Thursday, July 29 Cyclones 4-Ironbirds 2 A rare come-from-behind victory gave the league-leading Cyclones their third win in a row, and increased their first-place lead to five games. But this one wasn�t easy. The Ironbirds got on the board first, but the Cyclones tied the score in the third on Rylan Sandoval�s single, which plated Luis Nieves, who had tripled. And after the Ironbirds took the lead again, the Clones tied the score in the seventh on an error. The Cyclones finally broke it open in the ninth, with two runs. The rally started with consecutive singles by Joe Bonfe, Brian Harrison and Jeff Flagg. After a strikeout, Nieves bunted home the second run on a squeeze. Darrell Ceciliani went 1-for-4, dropping his average to .386. Friday, July 3 Cyclones 11-Ironbirds 3 Great pitching and a pummeling offensive machine was the secret to this win. Actually, the key was the fifth inning, when the Cyclones put up seven runs. The big blows were triples by William Cherry and Darrell Ceciliani (his ninth), a double by Jeff Flagg (his 13th of the season) and a homer by Brian Harrison (his fifth). Rylan Sandoval had homered to start the game, hitting his eighth. Starter Yohan Almonte gave up only three hits in his seven innings, yielding just one unearned run. The bullpen was a bit leaky, but the Aberdeen runs came too late. Ceciliani went 2-for-4, raising his average to .389. Saturday, July 31 Cyclones 3-Yankees 1 Starter Chris Hilliard won his sixth game against only one loss, thanks to six very solid innings, though the Yankees finally touched him in the seventh � an inning that also saw fiery manager Wally Backman get booted. The Cyclones were ahead 3-0 before that bizarre inning, thanks to a a third inning that saw a Juan Centeno leadoff double, a Ryland Sandoval single, a Darrell Ceciliani RBI double, and back-to-back SAC flies by Cory Vaughn and Jeff Flagg. The Cyclones had just five hits on the night, but they made them all pay off. The team�s record improved to a phenomenal 29-13, and the Cyclones� first place lead over the Yankees jumped to seven games. Ceciliani went 1-for-3, dropping his average to .388. Sunday, Aug. 1 Cyclones 7-Yankees 3 The Clones swept a two-game series with the demoralized Yankees in true Cyclone fashion: with great starting pitching and a shock-and-awe offensive display. First, the pitching: Starter Angel Cuan won his fifth game against no losses � and dropped his ERA to 1.68 � by striking out 10 Yankees in just 5-2/3 innings. Yes, he was touched for a solo homer in the fourth, but all the other runs were yielded by the bullpen. The Cyclones got on board first, on J.B. Brown�s two-RBI single in the second. Then, the Brooks put up another two-spot in the fourth on RBI singles by William Cherry and the scorching hot Rylan Sandoval. A line drive by Darrell Ceciliani would have brought in another run, but it was deflected by the pitcher. Two errors by the humbled Yankees helped the Cyclones score two in the seventh, though singles by Sandoval and Joe Bonfe certainly helped. Brooklyn capped the scoring with a Blake Forsythe solo shot in the eighth. Ceciliani went 2-for-4, raising his average to .391. Leadoff hitter Sandoval was 3-for-5 to raise his average to .333, and power hitter Cory Vaughn went 2-for-5, raising his average to .309. The first five men in the Cyclones lineup went 10-for-23.

Great work ,Bishop plays Justice and Zargaris plays Mercir.

Match the actors with their characters Brad Pitt Philip Seymour Hoffman Jonah Hill Chris Pratt Stephen Bishop Ari Zagaris Billy Beane Paul De Podesta Scott Hatteberg Art Howe Jim Mecir David Justice Some pictures from filming is that supposed to be Ron Washington?

This is all on Edgy , if the kid turns into a serial killer or can't hit in The Show don't come looking for me. Meet the Future Met: Rylan Sandoval BY MATTHEW EHALT Rylan Sandoval doesn�t think of it as a second chance. After all, he never took the Mets up on their first offer. See, in 2007, Sandoval was drafted in the 30th round by the Mets, but chose not to sign. He instead attended Long Beach State and ended up not being drafted following his senior season in 2009. Yet, here he is, the leadoff hitter for the Brooklyn Cyclones this season, catalyzing one of the best lineups in the New York-Penn League. But he's not a second-timer in his eyes. To Sandoval, he's a shortstop getting his getting his first shot in the minor leagues, albeit with an organization that happened to previously draft him three years ago. �Regardless of whenever I signed, say I signed back then, that�s my one shot at this,� Sandoval said. �This is my first shot and I�m running with it.� Back with the Mets organization, Sandoval has been one of the best-looking prospects for the Cyclones this season, hitting .321 with six home runs and 20 RBI. He�s excelled in his new role as leadoff hitter, and has displayed a good glove in the field. �I�m doing everything I can and leaving it all out there,� Sandoval said. � If something happens and I come up short, at least I know I did everything I could. That�s basically how I�m going about it.� Sandoval�s journey to the major could�ve started in 2006, but he failed to sign with the Oakland Athletics after being selected in the 38th round. Sandoval was selected as a draft-and-follow player, which means the A�s drafted him without intending to sign him immediately, would watch him for a year, and then decide whether to sign him or let him enter the 2007 Draft. Oakland decided the latter. Heading into the 2007 Draft, Sandoval was called by the Mets before the draft and was told he would be taken in the seventh to 12th round. Well, that ended up being wishful thinking. The Mets selected him in the 30th round, and Sandoval instead opted to go to Long Beach State. �I was thinking to myself I�ll go to school, I�ll play well hopefully and maybe get drafted,� Sandoval said. �That didn�t obviously end up happening.� Sandoval was rarely used as Long Beach State, and his draft stock plummeted. His senior year in 2009, he hit just .250 in 34 games with 96 at-bats. Sandoval said he would play a few games, and then ride the bench for a few weeks, hurting him from developing a rhythm. Three calls were placed to the Long Beach State Baseball office and none were returned. With a lack of playing time and low average, Sandoval ended up without a team following the 2009 draft. He tried reasoning with himself. He had to stay positive. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe he could go play independent ball. Anything to help abate the sting of being undrafted. �It sucked, I�m not gonna lie,� Sandoval said. �I was like what am I gonna do now. I want to play baseball.� Despite the draft snub, Sandoval kept at it. He took swings in the batting cage in his backyard in his home in Northern California. He worked out at his junior college (Chabot Junior College), taking groundballs, hitting, doing infield drills, the whole routine. This lasted all through November, December and January. In February, Sandoval went to play in the Arizona Winter League, an independent league showcase for aspiring players, in Yuma, AZ. He was hoping at worst to sign with an independent squad. It cost about $3000, and the hopefuls played on teams, went through drills, worked out and showcased their talents. That�s where Backman comes in. Although he had already been hired as the Cyclones manager, he had already committed to working at the Winter League, and that�s where he saw a guy that �fell through the cracks.� As Backman explained, some people will try and hide the good prospects like Sandoval, but Backman made sure that didn�t happen. Sandoval was the only player signed by a MLB squad. �He stuck right out,� Backman said. �I called (Mets Director of Minor League Operations) Adam Wogan and we talked about it and we checked on it and yeah we had drafted him before, but (decided) to give him an opportunity. He�s a pretty good looking player.� Said Sandoval: �That was pretty crazy. I talked to Wally about how they had drafted me already and he was like that�s weird you didn�t sign and I kind of laid out the story for him and he was like OK and he�s like well let�s get it going now. It�s kind of ironic, kind of weird that it ends up happening again.� Shortly after, Sandoval was signing a contract and headed off to spring training with the Mets. He raked during spring training but struggled during extended spring training, which carried over to the start of minor league play. He hit just .217 in 10 games with St. Lucie, and just .1114 in nine games with Savannah. He�s shown no signs of struggle with the Cyclones, though. So much that Backman is batting him leadoff, a spot he�s never batted before. While he might first pitch swing from time to time, he�s anchoring that spot because �he�s a damn good hitter� according to Backman. Part of that success goes back to changes Sandoval�s made in his swing since spring training. Cyclones hitting coach Benny DiStefano said his back elbow had been down and he had been drifting forward off pitches. They�ve worked on bringing his back elbow up, and Sandoval�s been a hitting machine since. �He made some adjustments at the plate, he�s a confident young man in general, so he�s taking his confidence into the plate,� DiStefano said. � He�s got a nice swing with good balance and everything�s clicking right now and he�s seeing the ball very well and he�s taking advantage of his opportunity.� It�s an opportunity that had been possible two times before, but seemed gone just over a year ago. Yet, Sandoval doesn�t let the past weigh him down. There�s no time for the �What If?� game now. Just time for him to continue to impress those in the Mets organization. �You can say, yeah, I wish I had signed because it didn�t work out right away, but who knows what would�ve happened if I had signed right away,� Sandoval said. �I might not have been ready to play pro ball yet. As I look at it now, going through that adversity at Long Beach and going through not playing and getting messed around with, it kind of made me a better.� Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/on_the_farm/2010/07/meet-the-future-met-rylan-sand.html#ixzz0uNPbEL00

When I adopted before(Conception and Joe Burt Jr) there was no Facebook and Twitter to keep tabs on the young ones , wasn't much fun, the social sites have opened up new area to explore. look at this fun viewtopic.php?f=10&t=11827

I'm bored and wouldn't mind trying this adoption carry-on once more , any likely lads there for the taking?

I was flipping channels yesterday and this awesomely bad 80's movie was on CBS. Jimmy is the rich kid from Jersey that wants to play for the NY Rockers soccer team. Mommy and Daddy oppose it of course , he doesn't make the team , terrible attitude and all that.The training sessions at Giants Stadium on the astro-turf are priceless.....the classic 80's synth music as the soundtrack....the coach is terribly mis-cast , he comes off like an American football coach trying to drill soccer players. Doing what only a rich kid could do Jimmy flies to Brazil to learn from the master Santos, Pele plays that part of course.... the teaching here is more values than skill. I actually watched the whole movie , one of those that is so bad it's hard to turn away from. Oh , and it features a dread locked Mario Van Peeples playing the smart ass black guy he played in every 80's movie he was in.

Should I rent it bucket?, didn't a movie just like this open recently starring Kevin James?

Competition RU - Is primarily played at an international level. Club RU, although steady gaining in popularity since the advent of professionalism in 1988, is a distant second. A possible exception to this is in France, where there are equally fanatical about club rugby as they are when their national team plays. Ever been to Thomond Park?....The Heineken Cup(European Rugby Cup ) is huge , in Ireland at least RU has gone mainstream , Munster and Leinster are hugely popular. Munster's traveling support is massive . The Heineken Cup Final 2006, between Munster and Biarritz at Millennium Stadium is one example.

Vic Sage wrote: i liked it more than little vic did. I think its a heartbreaking rumination on growing up, even mortality, that is more for adults than children. Can a kid really relate to the scene where the toys realize they're going into the fire and hold hands for comfort? Mine didn't. He preferred TS2. But i found it profoundly moving moment, as was the final scene of Andy playing with his toys one last time, with the little girl, before heading off to college (i.e., adulthood). Sure, there are some similar narrative beats to TS1 and 2, but they serve a different end, and so i viewed them as rearranged pieces to make a slightly different puzzle, and i don't fault it. Yeah , it had some great moments , the fire scene , Woody the last to hold hands, as if he finally realized this is it , he'd tried everything to keep them altogether but if need be then they would meet their end here together......that scene with Andy and the girl, the way Woody had manipulated it.......nary a dry eye in the house.

Yeah , I've not enjoyed the NL at all...I picked up Willis to start against St. Louis.....desperate much?

This is what I dislike about rotisserie leagues, you start out bad and you are done for the season, it's a fight to stay out of last place.

No. Just got back from New Roc City, I can totally see how Lunchpail would think it was scary. Lorcan was fine watching it but did ask to sit in my lap when things started getting intense , and I was kind of surprised with how intense it was , throughly enjoyed it though, an excellent movie, stay for the closing credits and you will be rewarded.

We have 1 & 2 on DVR , never tire of watching them.

Looking forward to seeing it , will let it cool for a few weeks then take the kid.

No one?....

Martz to have Tommy John surgery today.

While you losers were watching the Mets I was watching this on HBO, overall I enjoyed it, laughed plenty.
