It's supposed to stand out. That's why it's a different design. However, I like the Features idea and will put that together instead. 730245[/snapback] There he goes again, caving in at the first hint of pressure.

With a baseball bat.

But, I'm not excited to have a football player throwing out the first pitch in Wayne's Dolphin Stadium. 729166[/snapback] Exactly. Plus it is the beginning of baseball season, they couldn't manage to find any baseball guys to toss out the first pitch? 729184[/snapback] You anti-Dolphins people really need to get your chip off your shoulder. The only person I'd want throwing out the Opening Day pitch other than Dan Marino is Jeb Bush and that's only because it might give him a special feeling that would perhaps urge the people in the state legislature to get 'er done. 729207[/snapback] Sorry, but I view it as the same old problem in this town, football overshadowing baseball. Nevermind the fact that 99 % of the people on this board weren't even alive the last time Miami football brought home a championship. I may not be a Dolphin fan, but that has nothing to do with my opinion about the first pitch. If not a great baseball figure, then how about some extrordinary people that are not sports figures? How about 20 South Florida Iraq War veterans? Courage under fire, ability to overcome adversity. Those seem like pretty good reasons to have 50,000 people stand up and give them a round of applause.

It's not even opening day yet. A little early to be speculating about midseason trades. 729132[/snapback] My exact thought.

Thank you for taking the time to give us a peek into the Jorgensens' lives. You are an obvious fan (and student) of the game. Hopefully it will only be a short period of time until you can start visiting Ryan in some Major League parks. Thank you.

Not by me though, my wife would fillet my manhood. 728651[/snapback] Oh, so she is a chef too? :mischief

still wonderin where ur stayin.. 728548[/snapback] If he refused to mention where he would be sitting at the game, what are the odds he is giving out his lodging location? Of course, he may not be positive the cardboard refrigerator box will be in the same location two nights in a row.

Bob told his friend, "My wife caught a Peeping Tom last night, and she'd have killed him if we hadn't stopped her." "He must have made her very angry, peeking at her, huh?" asked his friend. "No," said Bob. "That's not what made her the maddest." "It's not?" "No," said Bob. "She got mad when he reached in the window and closed the curtains."

Billy Bob and Lester were talking one afternoon when Billy Bob told Lester, "You know, I reckon I'm about ready for a vacation. Only this year I'm gonna do it a little different. The last few years, I took your suggestions as to where to go. Three years ago you said to go to Hawaii. I went to Hawaii and Marie got pregnant. Then two years ago, you told me to go to the Bahamas, and Marie got pregnant again. Last year, you suggested Tahiti and darned if Marie didn't get pregnant again." Lester asks Billy Bob, "So, what you gonna do this year that's different?" Billy Bob says, "This year, I'm taking Marie with me."

Two bored casino dealers were waiting at a craps table. A very attractive blonde woman arrived and bet twenty-thousand dollars on a single roll of the dice. She said, "I hope you don't mind,but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude. With that she stripped from her neck down, rolled the dice and yelled, "Mama needs new clothes!" Then she hollered..."YES! YES! I WON!" She jumped up and down and hugged each of the dealers. She then picked up all the money and clothes and quickly departed. The dealers just stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asked, "What did she roll?" The other answered, "I don't know I thought YOU were watching!" Moral: Not all blondes are dumb, but all men are men!!!

Good to see you Johnny. Hope you stick around for the long term this time. 728157[/snapback] And here I thought you were one of the main reasons he was not around much recently. :mischief2 Welcome back (avoid the Das Ban Staff at all costs...)

I remember when he became Pope, it was so radically different from anything we had known before. He was youthful (even though most would not consider 58 to be youthful,) energetic, and eager to reach out to the youth. Beside trying to reach the masses, he really concentrated on reaching out to the youth, a group that so easily stray from the religion of their parents. He revived the beliefs in so many, and tried instilling a strong foundation for Catholics around the world. What amazed me was his continued appeal to young Catholics, even in his declining years. I understood why his appeal was so great in his ealier years, but it never seemed to diminish with time. Maybe it was because he understood how to use modern media as a mainstay in communicating his message. And he could do it in so many laguages, easily conversing in 28, while reading and writing in even more. He was an unusual leader, at ease with both world leaders and the simplest people in his flock. He treated presidents and 4 year olds with equal respect. Finally admitting the dark past the Church has had with other religions was a big step. He believed that people of religion, no matter what their faith, were keys to instilling peace in this world. Being able to ease the divide between religions, and tolerence among all of them, is a major step in easing the tensions religiously based differences have contributed to around the world. Large reforms that many were looking for from the Pope were never to occur. He make it clear that the conservative rules of the Church would not be altered, something that was anticipated by modern communities especially in the west. He acknowledged that his views might not be liked, but they would be clear. The lack of reforms has led to crises within the Church, especially in places such as the US. Numbers of priest are on a quick decline, with many parrishes not even having full-time priests. Constant sex scandels that were also not addressed by John Paul II. It will be interesting to see what direction a new Pope will lead the Church, especially with John Paul II hand picking 97% of the Cardinals responsible for electing a new Pontiff. Will any of them be able to bring the same type of energy to the Vatican? Will he be a visionary in changing some of the standards in order to save the Church in modern society, or will he try to reinstill the more conservative standards? We may get our first indication as the new Pope is introduced, simply by hearing the name he has chosen. Will it be John Paul III, attempting to continue where John Paul II left off, or will it be a new name for a new direction. John Paul II earned a place of repect in the hearts and minds of so many people, Catholics and non-Catholics alike. He has forever made himself a part of history.

Looks like 2 different development projects divided by the intersection. The right of way area looking west is nearly twice the size of the right of way to the east. West also appears to have older, larger trees than the area on the east side (and mainly located on the roadside rather then on the homeowners' property.) Cool to see the easy contrast though.

sight, site, tomato, tomahto..same thing.. 724838[/snapback] No, not even close. Also not interchangeable are: their - there two - too - to weather - whether where - we're bare - bear fur - fir fair - fare hair - hare night - knight pale - pail male - mail but that does not seem (seam) to matter. It is all (awl) the same to you (ewe.)

Bet a member or two from the IGN Baseball boards after seeing Admin's Marlins 2005 outlook... :whistle 721709[/snapback] Oh yeah, I snuck a few links in there. :mischief 721786[/snapback] What??? Rules are for others.... Where's that ban stick?

720817[/snapback] That looks soooooo wrong.... To me it looks like the outside hand is going up and down. :plain 720818[/snapback] Is that one better?

Thanks for taking the time to write the journals, they have been great! Tear it up in the minors, we're hoping to see you with the big team soon. In the meantime... I'm sure everyone here would agree, we'd love to keep hearing from you whenever you get the chance. Don't be a stranger, you are always welcome here.

After surgery however the man was allowed to go home where medical experts said he would be better off being cared for by his wife than in the prison hospital. 719375[/snapback] Somehow I would think that both of them would have preferred him being released prior to the surgery.
