Alex's response: "Good for him. He threw a perfect game, and even better, he beat the Rays." Congrats to Braden, too bad he's such a twit. When asked recently about the Alex situation, he said "We don't do much talking in the 209." It's where he's from in California. I loved CC's response to that btw: “He's a clown,” CC Sabathia said of Braden. “Guy says he's from the 209, what the [bleep] is that? That's where I'm from and I don't know what he's talking about. Two-oh-nine. He needs to just calm down - put that in the paper. That's just tired.”

Ooh yea, thanks. I'm really going to need tissues from here on out. BTW, I don't get Widmore - good or bad?

There's been some nice farewells, but I really liked this one from Joe Posnanski.

Yea, this is different from the behavior he's been criticized for in the past. I'm glad he's seeking help.

I'm thinking Jin, Sun and Lapidus are dead. I'm hoping Sayid isn't only because they didn't give him a longer death scene. I definitely thought it was fitting the way he sacrificed himself badass, but I would have liked more time ala Jin and Sun's death, which had me in tears btw. The last 15 minutes was just fantastic. And I don't know if anyone has seen this, clips of Hurley mostly with a Miley Cyrus song, it's cute but with the show ending it just seems sad. FYI the finale is now an hour and a half.

I don't remember where I read it, but the study couldn't account for sarcasm or emoticons.

I don't know if someone posted this website yet, but it's hillaaarious. NSFW because of language.

Thank you.

How do you pronounce 'Salome'?

No. I could be down the block, and I was today, and it will come charging up. And this owner does nothing to stop this behavior. My dog doesn't bark or snarl at other dogs when we walk so I don't think she's instigating anything. I don't want to hurt the dog because I see it as more of an owner problem, but I'm concerned, for my dog and for whoever is walking her. Thanks for all the responses!

I don't want to really pepper spray the dog and I don't want to cause trouble with a neighbor, but I feel like I need to do something. Otherwise, it seems I have to get in the car and drive to another area to take my dog on a walk.

We have this situation and I'm not sure what do next. We have a 14 year old Springer Spaniel and she's just great, really well-behaved. We take her on a walk once a day and there is never a problem with her, besides eating garbage. Well this one house in the neighborhood has a large dog, some type of poodle and does not keep her on a leash. So every time we walk by the dog comes running up growling. Last time I had to pick up my dog before the owner came and grabbed hers. The dog doesn't listen and I'm not only concerned about my dog's safety, but I'm intimidated myself. Well today there was another confrontation and the Jersey girl in me came out. I'm 4 or 5 houses from this nightmare dog's house and I see the owner in her garage. So I think "Ok, she sees me so she'll put the dog inside or something." She didn't and even though I'm a few houses away, the dog spots my dog and comes running up, growling of course. I start yelling for her to take control of her dog. She just takes her time walking up as I'm backing away into the street. So I tell her how this isn't right, please take better control of your dog. She tells me to walk my dog somewhere else! I was shocked and it just sent me over the edge. I told her that I was going to call the police and she said, "go ahead this is my dog and I'm going to do what I want." I told her that I will carry pepper spray on me and I will pepper spray that dog if it comes near us again like that. I don't know what to do. My dog is always on a leash and we stay on the sidewalk. It doesn't seem fair that I can't walk my dog in my neighborhood without worrying about an attack. I obviously don't want to pepper spray the dog, but I need to do something. Can I file a complaint at the police station? Is there some animal agency that can look into this? Anyway, if anyone could offer any help or suggestions, it would be fantastic. Thanks.

Exactly. The anger is misdirected.

I understand the Yankees have an advantage and that fans are frustrated, but what do you expect them to do? Give away money for parity? The problem is where do you go from here. I think the focus should be on the other end, the ones taking advantage of the system. The ones complaining of a salary cap would never agree to a salary floor. I know this doesn't apply directly to the Brewers but as an example:

Zaun won me over once I saw the stirrups.

Rickie Weeks!!

They're keeping us informed because they have access, like all beat writers. Personally, I find Haudricourt average.

Any high-risk, expensive player, like Aroldis ChapmanKen Griffey, Jr.

Robinson Cano

I'm always amazed at people who've never broken a bone or gotten a cavity. I've never dyed my hair or had my eyebrows done.

Sorry for not posting my source, but I want to say that I started the thread because it would be nice to look at ST pictures, from wherever you can find them on the internet, in one thread. Obviously anyone's personal pictures would be great additions, too.

I watch too much TV, I can always find something to put on, but there are three shows I write in my planner to remember to watch: Lost, Project Runway and America's Next Top Model (the new season starts March 10!!!!!!!!!!!!).
