Walker is a plus because he'd be around next year too. 471015[/snapback] I have my doubts he will finish this year on the active list, never mind next year. He is a walking injury waiting to happen, which is the reason he has only been playing the last month...and has missed significant time over the last few years. Bad investment, moneywise and personnelwise.

Have a great one

Seems to be working fine for me

That board was not that terrible for a while, but last summer it really went into a tail-spin. When summer hits, the child care classes have nothing better to do than hang out on boards. With that 'Romper Room' atmosphere you mentioned, the few that were interested in spirited discussion found alternative places to do so.

link Clearwater, FL (Sports Network) - Former Philadelphia Phillies and Florida Marlins catcher Darren Daulton was arrested on a Sumter County warrant accusing him of missing a court appearance for a suspended driver's license. Daulton was stopped by Clearwater police for a routine traffic stop. However, after running Daulton's name through a computer, the officers learned that Daulton was wanted in Sumter County. Once a warrant was verified, Daulton was arrested at his Clearwater home on Monday and released later that day on $3,050 bond. Daulton has had a troubled past also being arrested on a domestic battery charge and a drunken driving charge. Daulton spent the majority of his 14-year career with the Phillies, but received his only World Series ring in 1997 with the Marlins. 07/20 14:12:48 ET

They better guarantee and All Star Game in 2008 to Miami then! 464663[/snapback] Why??? What exactly has this region done to require a game? First of all, is there a damn baseball stadium to play it in? Let them build the thing and play there first before awarding an ASG. By 2008 the new ballpark should be in it's second year. We had the 2000 game before Henry and Selig took it away. 464696[/snapback] Actually, the decision to move the game came prior to Henry purchasing the team. It really looks like 2007 will go to Tampa. They are the only AL team left. Last 8 AL hosted games Chicago 2003 Seattle 2001 Boston 1999 Cleveland 1997 Texas 1995 Baltimore 1993 Toronto 1991 Anaheim 1989 464694[/snapback] I have been to the Trop dozens of times. That is not an environment baseball was ever meant to be played in. If MLB tries to hold the game in that oversized Monster Truck arena, they are in a lot worse condition than anyone ever could have imagined. They better guarantee and All Star Game in 2008 to Miami then! 464663[/snapback] Teams who do not have an all star coming to them and you're complaining about Miami not having one in 11 years. Ny Mets - 40 years since their last one STL - 38 Royals 31 Yanks 27 LA - 24 Expos(They should get one when they move) - 22 Giants - 20 Twins 19 Cinci - 16 Those teams deserve a game 464836[/snapback] I'd agree if not for the one we had slated being taken away. Give us that one sometime in the few years after the stadium is built, then go elsewhere. I don't really care about the all star game being in my city (though I'd go to it if it were). The game just isn't what it used to be and isn't the biggest of deals. 464858[/snapback] So what? San Francisco was awarded the Super Bowl either in 2002 or 2003 (can' remember which one) but that was taken away, and you don't see me bitching about it. 464909[/snapback] You just did!

Offense: neck and neck, but I'd give a slight nod to Texas. Defense: St. Louis by a mile.

I believe he jammed a finger (maybe on that play at the wall, but I'm not sure.)

Hey Josh, have a good one!!

If they pay one, they should be paying anyone who participates. If the other guys don't get paid, neither should Bonds. I'd rather not see Bonds in it.

One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." I said "WHAT????!!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every husband on the planet dreads to hear..."You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?" Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night I went to sleep. The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'll just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went on to the jewelry dept. where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier". I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it." Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled WHAT???!!!" I then said, "Really honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for awhile.. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me I added,"Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?" Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.

And I thought everyone said "hey". 447448[/snapback] Hey, we do not!

Well, its a good news - bad news kind of thing. It no longer puts me to the top of the thread, but it doesn't do the multiple quotes either. At least, not for me...........yet.

good one..... Black Sabbath's "Crazy Train" is Chipper's 444674[/snapback] Actually, I think that one was from when Ozzie was out on his own. But I could off on that.

The offense needs to stay overnight at a Holiday Inn Express. Couldn't hurt, something needs to get them going.

I remember those pictures. As I recall, it was one Brown Recluse bite while the person was doing some gardening, or something. The scar picture was taken exactly one year after it happened. Yes, they were a bit graphic (tonyi actually left the worst ones off,) but they do prove a point that it is not something to be taken lightly.

Of course not....... He types like 25% of the people on this board

Everytime I hit it, it sends me to the top of the page. And obviously that does not allow me to do multi-quotes. Yeah, I'm just full of problems

Just use the little arrow button to the left of the title, it should take you there.

Wow! We live in Broward and I'm ashamed to say that we lost power for like 30 hours. 443383[/snapback] We were out for exactly 1 month. I did hook up a generator for part time power after the first few days. It made things a little easier, thats for sure.

I remember it well, I live in Cutler Ridge. I had finished shuttering up the house in the afternoon on Sunday, and Lisa (my wife) and I had tried getting some sleep around 10 pm before it hit. I woke up around midnight because Lisa screamed. Turns out a tree frog had come in with some of the potted plants and had jumped on her. (I remember her saying there was something wet and cold on her.....I told her it wasn't me ) She tried sleeping some more, but I stayed up to follow the news. At 3:15 am, we lost power. I woke her up at that time. 15 minutes later, some decorative wood on the front of the house was ripped off and took one panel of a shutter with it (above our bed.) That window then got hit and broke one panel of glass, and that is all it took. Once the wind got into the house, it became a dominoe effect. I said it was time to move, so we moved out of the living room to a back bedroom. Momments later the sliding glass doors in the living room went out. Water was running under the bedroom door, and the wind was really banging the closed door around (I was sitting up against it to reinforce it.) I had just finished telling Lisa that we would move to the closet in that room if anything else were to happen... I don't think I had fully finished that statement when one of those bedroom windows went. So we jumped in the closet with our two dogs and two cats (amazingly they decided not to have a turf war at the time.) The radio we were listening to was still outside the closet, so as water got to it, it went to static. Then the wind got so loud you couldn't have heard it anyway. You keep hearing more and more crashing, not knowing what it is. You see water running down the walls and wonder if the entire roof will be coming off. When does it end? Funny part is, I never felt scared. My mind was too preoccupied wondering what the next move was going to be, always trying to update contingency plans in my head. Lisa wasn't thinking of those things, so she is still a bit out of it even during strong thunderstorms. As the wind finally started dropping, and the first hints of daylight started to show through, I ventured out to survey the house...what a mess. We still had most of our windows and several rooms that only had water damage but were intact, so I got Lisa and the pets and moved them to one of those rooms. Had to still be carefull though due to all the broken glass floating through the 2 inches of water that was standing throughout the house. I then started looking outside (it was easy since the glass doors were nice and open.) It was as though I had never seen this neighborhood before. What a scene. And that was by far the coldest rain I had felt in many, many years (I use to live in the Northeast.) Turns out that the original bedroom window was one of the few that actually broke inward. The wind in the house caused the glass doors to bow and break outward, ripping the shutters out of the concrete walls because they acted like sails in the winds. Same was true for the bedroom we were in, the shutters were blown outward, not inward (large chunks of the concrete wall were ripped out where the lag anchors had been run into the walls to hold the railings for the shutters.) After things blew out, other things started blowing in, we actually had a large section of someone else's roof embedded in the living room wall farthest away from the glass doors (it somehow missed the 50 gallon fishtank I had there at the time...and BTW every fish survived though that and the recovery process...I still have two of them in a tank to this day.) We were lucky, many people were hit much more than we were. We also recovered very quickly. Our contractors were friends of ours, and I did lots of work myself. By the time Christmas rolled around, we were 95% back to normal. 100% came when our dogs were able to come back because I finally got around to fencing in the yard again. Interesting experience. Will still remain in the house if another storm comes through, especially since I have been able to apply the lessons learned from weaknesses during Andrew in order to make our home even stronger than it was before.

I am getting Sherklock Holmes on the case. :headscratch Someone called?? Honestly, I don't think it's anyone's business but hers. :confused THAT is the correct ruling.
