    Yes, lets make sure we boo him before he throws a pitch in a regular season game. Awesome idea! Suppan is getting rocked this spring training, but if he gets run out there on the mound its not his fault he is out there. He is a player doing the best he can. It's not like he is going out there trying to throw meatballs. His skill set is diminished, but if management makes the idiotic move to throw him out there as one of our rotation regulars, I think booing him before he has even performed in the regular season is about as stupid as it gets.

    Just watched Monday's episode on the DVR. I may be a 24 apologist but I thought this weeks episode was pretty solid. I still don't like the Dana Walsh storyline, but at least they paid less attention to her and there were some good surprises this week.

    I am the same way with Stanley. I just think he is so sullen and funny.

    Smoked a cigarette: I feel like everyone i meet has at least once. Never have, never will.

    So that means that when the Brewers play the Diamondbacks and the Padres you can't watch them on mlb.tv and you need to watch them on the local cable channels?

    Interesting. Which report was it? I don't recall the MLB one mentioning that.

    Huh? He threw the bat to the dugout and picked up the ball and tossed it back to the mound. I don't see any clapping, much less taunting. Am I missing something here?

    Also the best advice anyone ever gave me was go visit both places and you will know.

    I had to make somewhat of a similar choice. I was deciding between Austin and Albuquerque. At first it seemed like a no brainer and we were moving to Austin. After some careful thought and deliberation we couldn't decided and ended up flipping a coin and moving to ABQ. I couldn't be happier, although I am sure I would have loved Austin as well. Since I don't know much about Boise I will stick to what I know about Austin Pros: Awesome social scene. Tons of bars, live music and things to do Warm Weather. Its beautiful there. A little on the muggy side but not as bad as a place like Houston or Florida. The other big 3 in Texas are all very close. Going to San Antonio, Houston or Dallas is no more than a weekend trip away.Great Vibe. The city has an amazing energy to it. Job market and economy in general in TX has been better than most places during the economy ConsExpensive housing. At least to live where the action is (Downtown, Congress, Hyde Park etc)Traffic is awful. The city has grown too fast for its infrastructure.There is a decent amount of things to do outdoors wise, but the terrain isn't nearly as "interesting" as you would find in the West. In the end we opted for something a little slower paced, with awesome access to the outdoors and a little cheaper. One major thing that led us to ABQ was the climate. It is the best all year climate in the country. We get four seasons but none of them are that extreme and there is no humidity. That is the one thing that led me away from Austin, but we were in the position were we couldn't really choose a bad city. PS: I'm 26

    DHonks I think if you are questioning it, it will be annoying. The way I am with my computers is that even if I don't need all the processing power I hate to ever have to wait on them so I always over spec them out. Take a look at this website for CPU benchmarking http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ Its a total pain to read but that way you can compare what you had in your old machine to what is in the ones you are looking at. Also if you are going to be running Win 7 make sure you get 4 gb of RAM. Finally on a side note: Good choice on the HP's (I work for the company).

    I'll second what everyone is saying. Every time I see a scene with Dana Walsh I want to pull my hair out. I know I am supposed to hate her, but its really awful. Not that I like Freddie Prinze, but he is a decent name and I feel like the writers are really wasting his character. That said I still love the show and I will watch it religiously even if this has not been one of the better seasons thus far. PS: I want to give a big heck yeah to whoever mentioned Elisha Cuthbert in a tank top. I wish she would come back for more scenes like that.

    Subtle. But funny! I'll be here all week. Make sure and tip your waitress people.

    It must be because he changed his diet. I heard he's a vegetarian now.

    Are we talking about the same Rickie Weeks? OBP has probably been his most consistently good skill. 2006 - .363 2007 - .374 2008 - .342 2009 - .340 Career - .351 Those are some very solid numbers. er I mean he strikes out too mucher I mean he is a terrible base runnerer I mean I think his dreads weigh him down Because Weeks came up with so many expectations and has been hurt a lot people just like to pick on him. Like Ennder said if he stays healthy he becomes one of the best 2b in the NL. His problem is he hasn't been able to stay healthy.

    The Canada loss for sure. I mean its on their money for god's sake. Hockey is arguably the fourth most popular sport in the US. Its nice to see but nowhere near the meaning down here than it means up there.
  17. theavrock
    You mean something like "Ryan Franklin needs his guns so his new hitting coach Mark McGwire can teach him all about shooting up"

    Its not a bad record. Their later stuff is better, but it has a special place in my heart because I remember getting that for my bday when I was in middle school

    Been getting down on a lot of new music recently. This Will Destroy You - A lot like Explosions in the Sky, the album leaf etc. Just saw the movie Once so I went out and got the soundtrack and The Swell Season, pretty good stuff. Also just the entire Nada Surf discography. I had some of their cds a while back but they got stolen and just recently remembered how much I enjoy them. Very underrated band IMO.

    Checking in from Albuquerque, NM. The offseason was an interesting one with a change of positions and clubhouses for theavrock. We'll see how he responds this season.

    Getting onto this a little late, but I'll be going to ST for the first time. We just moved to New Mexico, so I couldn't live with myself if I didn't head down there for a weekend. Looks like we will be heading out there either the 2nd or 3rd weekend in March. I kind of want to go the second to see the Cubs, but I fear I might be too tempted to hurl insults at them as close as I am to them. Hmmm decisions. Does anyone have any other fun things to do in Phoenix other than all the baseball related stuff for three guys in their mid 20's?

    Pm'ed you. Thanks!

    I spent a night in Louisville. Its actually a pretty cool little town. We stayed at some hotel right on the river downtown for pretty cheap. We thought that the downtown was super fun to just walk around. We didn't do it with any kiddos though. The Louisville Slugger museum for sure. If you like bourbon, I believe there were some places that you could tour. Not sure though. There is a cool little outdoor mall type place with lots of eateries. We ate out on the patio of some little place and it was all hustle and bustle but in an endearing way. Also there is some sort of Children's Museum kind of like Discovery World. Again, we didn't go because it was closed but it looked pretty fun.

    I spoke a little bit soon apparently. It seems as though its invite only as of now. Anyone out there have an invite?
  25. theavrock
    Nice call. I knew there was an easy way of going about doing this. Thanks guys!
