Orlando Rays

12 team playoff? Maybe something like..... 1 Tennessee 2 Georgia 3 Florida 4 South Carolina 5 Kentucky 6 Vandy 1 LSU 2 Auburn 3 Arkansas 4 Miss St 5 Bama 6 Ole Miss :mischief Seriously, if you're going to do a 12-team playoff, you might as well do it right the first time. Throw all the conference champs in, and have a Notre Dame clause. If they're not ranked high enough, choose the highest-ranked non-champ. Put the non-BCS champs in the initial round, and the top four BCS conference champs get the byes.

Everybody wants a playoff. But it'll take people tuning out the title game for the BCS bigwigs to even begin to care. So it's not going to happen. BTW: I say Ohio State vs. Hawaii, but it's going to be Ohio State vs. LSU. And LSU will blow Ohio State out just like Florida did last year.

TD Maurice Jones-Drew.

HORSESH*T CALL. Incomplete pass my ass, that was a catch and a fumble. Should be Jacksonville ball. Ball caught. Controlled. Two feet down. Fumbled. What the hell else is there?? And predictably the next play, TD Colts. Refs suck. I'm going to go postal. Can I join you? We can get some flame throwers and torch the construction site of Lucas Oil Stadium.

WIN She's been busy this year. :shifty WIN!!!

*plays Reveille* WAKE UP, YOU MAGGOTS!!! IT'S FOOTBALL TIME!!! :mischief

Because using a myspace/facebook page to determine what a person is like is tremendously accurate. It certainly doesn't help. It only gives fodder to the prosecution.

I wish him the best in TB but I think he'll struggle because of what division he'll be in.. According to the splits, the Yankees are his bitch. Even moreso at Yankee Stadium. The Red Sox, not so much. But better one than neither.

This is a gamble the Rays need to make. If it works out it will go a long way towards making their bullpen better, which was their real weakness last year, and perhaps make more respectable FAs come there. Considering his 1.8 ERA in 40 IP last year, it's a good gamble to make.

Rays looking for that elusive 71 win season. At this rate, a 71-loss season isn't looking far off. :whistle MLB plays 162 games now. What, did you fail your remedial math course? You can figure out how many wins remain if they only lose 71. :mischief

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7504354...3162&ATT=49 The Rays are ready to sign Troy Percival. 2 years, $8M. Over $10M with performance escalators. They have determined a physical is unnecessary. Apparently the winner was that he'd be working for Joe Maddon again. Maddon was previously bench coach of the Angels.

If any park deserves the recognition for breaking the retro-theme it is Nationals Ballpark. I dunno, Nationals Ballpark looks like a faux-Yankee Stadium to me. The design for Rays Ballpark is entirely unique, in the same way that Kauffman was unique to the cookie-cutters of the 1970s.

Condoms are for pansy guys who can't get their women on the pill. :shifty It makes her sick :confused So does getting pregnant. I'd suggest Essure, which a friend of mine has had done, but that's kinda meant to be permanent.

Delmon Young's been pencilled in at left. He has good numbers at right, and some spectacular plays. He sucks in center. But he hasn't yet played left in the majors. This will be interesting to see.

You know, the more I look at this design, the more I like it. It's not retro. It's unique. This could do to park design what Kauffman Stadium did in 1973. There's a reason baseballparks.com called Kauffman the best pre-1990 ballpark that isn't Wrigley: because they were original when everybody was building cookie-cutters. Now everybody is building retro neo-jewelboxes, while the Rays will build a new monument to the game. I just wish they could put in 40k seats instead of 35k.

The Plan is Unveiled. It even has its own website: Major League Downtown. It looks rather spiff in the actual renderings. The big problem is the parking.

Ricky is out for the season. Lawrence Timmons (FSU) stepped on his shoulder and tore a muscle in his chest. Awesome. What irony for me I can't believe the refs didn't see him get spiked. That sucks. :thumbdown

You know, I don't buy that this was a hit. Why would he be shot in the leg, and the second shot miss, if it were a hit? If it were a hit, wouldn't the person have tried to shoot Sean in the head or the heart? I think he was actually trying to rob the house, just a typical home invasion. When he saw Sean with the butcher knife, he freaked, shot wildly, and ran. Who knows? Maybe Sean was able to get to the guy and as he tried wrestle the gun away shots were fired and one of them hit him in the leg. The description given is that he was shot at almost immediately after the attacker broke into the room.

You know, after thinking about this, I don't buy that this was a hit. Why would he be shot in the leg, and the second shot miss, if it were a hit?

When he saw Sean with the butcher knife, he freaked, shot wildly, and ran. (I still want him to fry, though.)

Here's where we find out if the Bucs are for real. Don't you say something like this every week? It works, doesn't it? :mischief

Miami hosts the Jets. No soggy field to equalize things. Then again, the Jets suck. This is our last best chance to win this year. Tampa Bay heading to New Orleans. The 'aints left again. Here's where we find out if the Bucs are for real. Jacksonville headed to Indy. I still don't think the Colts are 100% all there. This may be the upset special. Green Bay at Dallas for Thursday Night, Cincinnati at Pittsburgh for Sunday Night, and New England at Baltimore for Monday Night. Well, two out of three ain't bad.

RIP. Supposedly, whoever broke into his home cut the phone lines. It sounds like a hit job. I haven't seen that. Apparently his girlfriend called 9-1-1 immediately. Nothing on CNN, Fox News or ESPN about a cut phone line. Still, considering the knife before, he probably should have had security at his house. About the 2005 incident: He was accused of pistol-whipping the guy that supposedly stole his SUV, but his lawyer claimed he didn't have a gun. He pled out to misdemeanor battery.

There's a reason there's a death penalty in Florida. Bring back Old Sparky. Fry the bastard that did this.

It just came across the AP wire.... He's died. :crying EDIT: I started posting mine before Libelula posted. Sorry if it seems double...
