QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 03:11 PM)I think it's 2+5+10 and a game misconduct. Sorry, I might be the only one who gets that...
I live in Minnesota. I get it.

In Colorado, as in most if not all other states in the US, the legal limit for BAC is .08. Hence, .088 is over the limit. I also believe that in Colorado, you can be charged with "impaired driving" if you register between .05 and .079, since a great many states have that provision.
He'll get off with probation and (maybe) a fine, since I'm pretty sure this is his first offense.
What boggles my mind is that why he didn't just hire a limo for the night. It's not like he can't afford it.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 01:23 PM)Getting someone out of the US is a bad idea. Getting some MLS guy like Arena is not good.
Get Klinsmann. He has worked for the US Soccer team. He lives near the training facility. He has worked with our system enough to know it. And he has world cup experience.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's do this. I mean, who else is there? Bob Bradley?

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Jul 14, 2006 -> 02:17 PM)they sure don't put something like this in the rulebook lol but heres what I think
to have possession of the ball, you have to be able to take it out of your mitt, so since the mitt flew off I would say that he didn't have possession and call the guy safe
This is what I thought the intrepretation was, but I really wasn't sure.

I know we have a couple of umpires who post here (Rex Hudler and someone in the U of I mob, I think). Not that those are the only guys I'd like to see respond -- I'd like to tap the collective wisdom of Soxtalk. Anyway, this happened in a friend's son's youth league game recently.
Pop-up between the plate and the mound. Both the pitcher and catcher try to make a play on the ball and collide just as the catcher gets a mitt on it. The collision is so violent that the catcher's mitt flies off with the ball still in it -- in fact, the ball stays in the mitt as it lies on the ground. The catcher and pitcher are both injured on the play, and the catcher cannot retrieve his mitt.
So, what do you think? Safe or out?

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Jul 13, 2006 -> 04:50 PM)Hmm... the President enjoys immunity from civil suits while serving as president pursuant to Jones v. Clinton and a host of other well established cases. I wonder if the vice-president enjoys the same privilege.
I think you're wrong, Abe. If the President enjoyed immunity from civil suits while serving, Paula Jones could not have moved forward with her suit, Clinton would not have had to testify, the perjury trap would not have been sprung, and that whole mess would have been avoided.
Except for the mess on the blue dress, of course.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2006 -> 11:21 AM)Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
A gleaming candlelight
Still shining bright
Through the sycamores, for me
The new-mown hay
Sends all its fragrance
From the fields I used to roam
When I dream about the moonlight
On the Wabash
Then I long for my Indiana home
My favorite part of the Indy 500 Pre-Race festivities, no question.

QUOTE(holly wiggins @ Jul 12, 2006 -> 12:16 PM)Are you sure that headline doesn't refer to the next series the Tigers play, which is at home against KC? It doesn't say "Tigers To Open World Series At Home" and I didn't read it that way. What's the rest of the article say??
Nope, Holly. There wasn't a thing about their next series in the piece. I think the paper's trying to have some fun.
I wonder how many letters to the editor they'll get referencing a percieved jinx? My guess is a couple of wheelbarrow loads.

Actually, the only reason I included the warning was the fact that I had just read the new policy. Trying to fit in, don't you know.

A guy posted this blog last week.
This is the funniest thing I've seen in quite a while. I still can't decide if it's real or not, because if you read the comments, you would think that the blogger would take the post down.

38. A couple of lucky guesses, but I missed a couple I should have had on unwise choices. Fun times, though.

I hope this idiot's attorneys (if he has even retained any) get severly sanctioned.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 04:06 PM)LOL! Macho man f***ing ruled.
Wrestling of the 1980's was about 50 times better than wrestling is today.
Do any of you guys remember G.L.O.W? Georgeous Ladies of Wrestling that was on back in the mid 80's? Thats stuff was CLASSIC!!!
G. L. O. W. was freakin' hilarious.
In my earlier post, I forgot to mention I once met Hawk, the Road Warrior. He was a friend of a friend and a very nice and funny guy -- although, after listening to his rant, I wouldn't have wanted to be his ex-wife.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 09:34 PM)That mid-80s Von Erich league was the best.
It was the part of NWA, then became WCCW.
Gino Hernandez! Not the best, but an outstanding heel. "Two hundred thirty five pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal! I AM YOUR CHAMPION!"
Some seriously bloody matches in that league.
How can we forget The Crusher?
I actually got to meet Baron Von Rashke one time. Really nice guy.
EDIT: Have to give a little love to our former Governor. Jesse was always fun to watch.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 03:41 PM)They all have equal HR totals to Mark Tex but in less than half the ABs, in Gross' case 210 less ABs.
I knew that someone would get the right answer, and I figured Kalapse would be one of the prime suspects.
Well played!

The guy who owns Teixeira in my Fantasy league positited this question the other day.
What do Gabe Gross, Olmedo Saenz, Jose Valentin and Damian Easley have in common?
Answer later. But everyone is encouraged to guess now.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:30 AM)Could you explain what that means a bit for the soccer impaired?
4-5-1=four defenders, five midfielders (including one primarily defensive mid) and one up front -- a very conservative, defensive formation.
3-5-2= one more man up front -- more chances to score.

I've seen plenty of Keeley, mate.
Rules Interpretation Question
in The Diamond Club
Posted
I vaguely remember this play, or one like it. I think the batter was Andre Dawson. This vague memory was my basis for thinking that the correct call was safe.
For the record, the batter was ruled out by the umpire in this case. Apparently, he called the batter out and immediately called time to attend to the players writhing on the ground -- and the call had no effect on the eventual outcome of the game, which is nice.
