I would think that'd be the case with DirecTV as well, since the $30 discount is being advertised on the Extra Innings website.

I agree to an extent. Reading the article without seeing the video it was a bit upsetting, but after seeing the video it slightly changed my view. I feel he was definitely in the wrong when he didn't allow Moats to walk away even when the security guard and nurse came out to let the cop know what was going on. The cop obviously had to pull the vehicle over; however, imagine how you would react after seeing seeing someone jump out of their vehicle after being pulled over. The cop had to make sure to follow procedures to make sure the passengers didn't have a weapon, and it must have been pretty hectic and hard for the cop to figure out what was going on. The cop should have drawn a line though at some point, including the "I can make your life worse" comment. It's a shame that Ryan Moats missed the death, as it was an important time in his life.

I just caught a replay on Rickie's final at-bat from today and he still does lift his foot a bit.

I didn't get to watch the game today, so his swing isn't fresh in my head, but here's a link to him from last year:http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200809263556018&c_id=mil After watching that video though, his waggle may have slowed down a little this year, although it's not really fair for me to comment until I see him more. Is he still lifting his foot with his waggle/moving as much in general in the batters box?

I believe McGehee took his first walk of the spring. I have to admit - I didn't see much of a change in Weeks's stance when watching last night. Maybe I'll notice it more once I am able to watch him on a regular basis though.

250GB is what Comcast is set at as well, so it's a fair amount. Most users don't get close to hitting it. I'd say you'd be fine with it - although if you watch a ton of streaming videos, including through Netflix and Hulu, or an insane amount of games through MLB.com, then you may have to keep an eye on it.

Looks like it's officially over for him now: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090321&content_id=4041708&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb

Someone at soxtalk mentioned Chris Duffy as a possibility. Perhaps that's why he was taken out of the game early yesterday? edit: I'm not seeing Gwynn in the starting lineup according to JSonline. Also just read that Duffy was scratched yesterday because of a stomach bug.

Mass Haas posted a piece on him last year: http://forum.brewerfan.net/search.php?keywords=433400/t/Aug-Sept-Transaction-Thread-Latest-From-Helena-to-W-V-.html#reply-433400 He also made an appearance in the starting lineup on March 14th against the Dodgers. He struck out in his only at-bat.

If you haven't watched the DiFelice interview, there's a great clip about 25-30 seconds into it of Abreu getting thrown out from a little league mistake. Actually, I guess you could call it a "big-league-head" mistake, as I can't imagine too many little leaguers doing it.

For some reason I remembered a few people saying similar things last year about him, so I decided to pull up last years spring training stats: C Counsell .486AVG 17H 35AB [/pre]

Any chance that this article may be about you? It talks about how a fan had a picture of Braun wearing #75. Stardom suits Braun just fine

I thought I had heard that peanut butter from the jars is safe. I'm not all that crazy about peanut butter myself, so I don't have any special recommendations, although after looking it up it appears that Jif and Peter Pan were advertising recently that their brand is safe: MSN Jar Peanut Butter It seems as though just the industrial peanut paste used in various products has been the subject of the salmonella outbreaks.

Go to the link and type "Cecil Fielder" in the search box. It'll probably be video #2 and #3 on the top.

Are you confusing Hardy with Hart in the 60-yard dash?

I'm currently undecided on which route I'll go. My sister in-law may need it so I might hold on to it for a little while. I'm also located in Michigan, so I'm not sure if it'd work anyway. It's in decent condition, however the ABS recently went on it. Thanks for all of the ideas/comments/tips everyone. First off, for some reason I always overlook the Mazda3 - so I may test drive one of those either this or the following weekend. They I had looked at the Yaris, and I question it's reliability/safety, so I've crossed that off my list. The Subaru's look like great cars - but they rate a little low in the fuel economy for my tastes. I'm currently a full-time college student, so I feel a little tight with my money right now. As for the Nissan Versa, I'd prefer to get a Vibe over it, as I can get a $2,500 cash rebate on it. I did see an ad in my local newspaper from a private seller - 2007 Civic, 18,000 miles @ $13,500, so I may give that a look at as well. That'd be great - I didn't see anything myself when quickly searching. Also, endaround - You had mentioned that the sales will be happening soon. How soon are you speculating? I had overheard someone else saying a similar thing, but didn't catch the time frame they mentioned. It should be a fun weekend though, with a few of the new options. Thanks everyone.

Like the title says, my 1994 Civic is looking a little tired, and I'm looking to upgrade. I've been back and forth on a few of them over the past month or so, but really don't know a whole lot about cars except for reviews here and there. My price range is up to $14,000 - preferably after taxes, title, etc., but I do have a little leeway and so a few hundred dollars wouldn't kill a deal for me. I'm looking for something that is reliable, decent gas mileage, and fairly small. I've test-driven a Scion XD and a Hyundai Elantra so far, but wasn't all that blown away by either. I've also ridden in a Ford Focus, and partially know how it is. Currently I'm looking at: Honda Civic 2005 - 33k miles @ $12,000 from a dealer Honda Civic 2005 - 28.5k miles @ $12,000 from a private party Hyundai Elantra 2007 - 15-30k miles @ $12,500 from a dealer Honda Fit 2007 - 20k miles @ $14,500 from a dealer - kind of pushing it with the price after tax and everything else Scion XD 2008 - ~20k miles @ $14,000 from a dealer. Ford Focus 2009 - Brand New @ $12,300-$12,500 from a dealer. They all seem to have their pros and cons, but I'll name a few that stick out to me: Civics - Pros: Reliability, Reliability, Reliability. Price tag. Cons: 2005 is older than the other choices, 1 year away from the 2006 redesign. Elantra - Pros: 5 year, 60k warranty. Consumer Reports and Edmunds seem to give them good scores. Cons: Don't know a lot about them - seem to be getting better as a company though. Fit - Pros: Reliability, Reliabity, Reliability. Cons: Price is kind of up there. Scion - Pros: I actually enjoy it's appearance - I know that many don't though. Seems to have good standard features. Cons: Large blindspots in the back are my main concerns. Focus - Pros: Cheap for being new. Cons: Doesn't seem to stand out in any areas, interior seemed kind of poor when I rode in one over the summer. I think I can knock off the Scion as an option, as the rear-visibility bugs me. The civics, elantra, and focus seem to be tied as my #1 choice though. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That's the weirdest thing ever, because I was just asking myself the same question about 2 days ago.

Do you receive an error message? If so, is it "The Following Updates were not Installed"?

It didn't seem to me as though Gammons was reporting that it was Brantley, more so that he just threw his name out there. I'm not a Gammons-backer by any means, but I didn't get the vibe as though he meant that Brantley was finalized.

He's been hitting 92 and 93 this inning.

Grow Old With You - Adam Sandler from The Wedding Singer. It might be a little too cheesy for what you're looking for though.

Quite the 2008 debut for him tonight with the Rangers. A double and a 3-run opposite field homer in his first 2 at-bats.

Rhapsody.com has the song, which you can download for $0.99. Check your PM's.

Well, now that Weeks is out with an injury, I guess you don't have to worry about that.
