do they even bother playing it if it gets rained out?

This is usually followed by a long diatribe about how hard he tried to get there, and how he nearly willed the ball into his glove while the runners circle the bases without us being told about it.

dominating me at scrabble, beating me at Fantasy.. If i happen across you I'm gonna have to give you the finger or a wedgie or something.

last line was my favorite. stop with the bunting!

I'm having a discussion elsewhere about how stupid that stupid show is. the sunny in philly one.

Doesn't stop many Mets for crucifying Omar for saying he's going after pitching and defense, but maybe preferring guys that are actually good? Personally, I think wins are too summarily dismissed by "statheads". It's obvious to me that Felix is probably the 'best' pitcher in the AL this year, but I don't think W-L is worthless. I do think there a little bit of 'pitching to contact' as well. It's pitching with a safety net. It's actually a contradictory argument though. If it's the results (in terms of W-L) that matter, shouldn't the result of the AB (i.e. you let up a home run cause you were pitching to contact make your numbers worse) count against you in the same manner?

Vince Vaughn/Ronny finds out best bud and co-partner in an automotive design company Kevin James'/Nick's wife is cheating on him. The Dilemma is whether or not Ronny should tell Nick or if it would distract from completing the project that could get their company on the map so to speak. Various hijinks ensue, etc. Also with Jennifer connelly, Winona Ryder, Channing Tatum and Queen Latifah. It's pretty much your typically Vaughn/James dramedy (for lack of a better word). which means it was certainly funny and entertaining, but wasn't exactly pushing the boundaries of new ground. Directed by Ron Howard. I didn't make this a poll, since the movie is not out until January. I got a random email/invite to a prescreening on Tuesday so we went out and saw it. We saw Taking Woodstock this way as well. Filled out a survey afterwards, so who knows, maybe they'll change things based on our input. The movie was mostly done, we did notice a couple of places where you could tell the audio/coloring wasn't quite up to snuff. And this is the first time i've ever seen a watermark (gettyimages) on a movie background scene. (they were on a train in Chicago)

MFS62 wrote: I had suggested to someone on another Mets board to join here. On that board, his screen name is 7Line, so I sent him a message asking if he was that guy who had applied. He said he wasn't, but said he'd take a look. Guess he liked what he saw. He just sent me a PM, so I know he's been activated, but he keeps getting a message that he can't post. Any ideas what happened to Lefty Specialist? Later Isn't the 7Line a blog?

Happy to do so, except it's us at the other park named for a bank, which will make it maybe worse, given the braying red-clad multitudes (and whichever 2,000 Mets fans who thought this would be a swell weekend to make the trip to Philly to see their beloved team). LGM anyway! Does everyone else refuse to use a Citizen's Bank ATM when they're out and about and need cash?

G-Fafif wrote: Bump. This quest needs to be followed. Dickey has two starts left and is tenth in the league with a 2.92 ERA. He's also 15th in the NL in WHIP and first in books on the top shelf of his locker. Someone with more time atm should put up Dickey's numbers against Lackey's and Pineiro's.

MFS62 wrote: Looks like he's gone from taking shots to calling them. Later That implies that he ever stopped taking shots. unlikely. Wasn't there a story about him calling game from third base on Texas? or trying to steal signs? something like that. I didn't actually read the book.
