    One of my thoughts was Curt Flood's attorney - Arthur Goldberg. But I'm pretty sure that's not him.

    Yeah, this is pretty much my sentiment. Not necessarily that they all stink, but that they are all pretty much the same. This is kind of along the same line as sports announcers for me. People get all up in arms about various sports announcers. I really don't get it. Not that I fly a ton (once or twice a year), but I really don't deal with the airline too much when I fly. I book my flight online. I check in (that's about 5 actual minutes at the counter) and then there are the flight attendants. My only communication with them is "Yes, I'll have a coke." So, I'm not really getting the big differences between airlines. I understand flight delays and lost luggage. However, you're going to have that with any airline you travel with. I think it's like anything else. You shouldn't base your whole view of an airline on one or two bad experiences because the grass is not always greener on the other side. It's like when someone is thinking about buying a certain kind of car and they ask someone who has that same kind of car what their experience is like. Then they make their whole buying decision based on that one person's experience. I'm sure that once in a while BMW sends out a less than perfect automobile.

    I purchased a fantasy baseball magazine today. They had a "mock draft" in it. Fielder was picked 6th and Braun was picked 11th. This sure is different that a few years back when you had to go to the 30's to see the first Brewer on the list.

    We ate there last year and Max McGee sat in the booth right next to us. My son ended up getting sick that night (not from the food, he had the flu). We had room service in our room at 2am cleaning up puke. Yeah, that was fun. We go there at least one night every year to grab a meal (hard to "party" with a 9 year old). Although, beware of all the birds and their "bombings" on Mill Ave. if you visit there.

    Amen!! I'm a Tom Petty fan and I enjoyed the show. Also, are we really critiqing the vocals of rockers?? To me rock isn't supposed to be about pretty vocals. From a pure vocalists stand point, Michael Stipe, Kurt Cobain, Tom Petty, Mick Jagger, etc. all have less than perfect voices, but it's rock, and I really don't listen to it to hear opera like vocals.

    This one is just going to kill me when I hear the answer. That first picture looks very familiar.

    This is actually a pretty good site for information as well: http://www.springtrainingonline.com/

    Not a big fan of this line of thought. I agree with this whole heartedly. If it comes down to a must win game on the last day of the season, couldn't you look back to any loss in the season, even games in April and ask yourself, boy if they had only gotten a win there they wouldn't be in this "must win" situation today. I agree that games against division foes are more important than other games, but other than that, what month it is should not make a difference.

    Well, I don't have an answer (the guy looks a lot like Ryan Stiles), but I do see that Riverside bowl has really expanded since that picture and it looks like the artwork may have been removed from the side of the building... http://images.yuku.com/image/pjpeg/d0d25da9157c5f1797717a31f97e2cb6f4f144f.pjpg

    I guess I just assumed Weeks and Hart would be in the 1,2 position. I never understand why people bring up lifetime stats when talking about what a player will do next year. Should we look at Greg Maddux's or Sammy Sosa's lifetime stats to determine what they will do next year? Cameron had a .328 OBP last year and has had only 1 season with an OBP above .350 in the last 4 years. Hart's first full season as a major leaguer netted him a OBP of .353. I'll take my chances on the guy that not 34 and on the downward side of his career in the number 2 hole. I'm not a big fan of Cameron and I would have him hitting towards the bottom of the order.

    Was that supposed to be in blue? Cameron 2nd? Yuck!

    Ok, this makes a lot more sense. Last week, when Bush first announced this, I read that threshold for individuals would be $85K and for married couples it would be $110K. Only the government would calculate 85+85 as equaling 110.

    Ok, so I had to go to the skype site and see just how it works. Sounds like you don't use a phone at all (shows how much I know). So you just use it through a microphone attached to your computer? Does it "ring" if you get a call? So, if I'm upstairs doing something and the computer "rings" in the kitchen, I probably won't hear it, much less be able to get to it in time. Pretty much any time the computer "rings" I'm going to have to go to where the computer is in order to answer it. And I also have to have the computer running all the time as well? Sounds really cheap, but no, I don't think I be using skype.

    I think it's been mentioned on this thread before but I really don't get texting. I did it once only because a co-worker texted me. So I had to figure out how to text him back. The whole time I'm doing it I'm thinking...we both have phones, wouldn't it just be easier to verbally have this conversation? Then I see this item on the news this morning were some guys vehical broke through the ice on a lake so he texted his family for help. He texted them!??! If there was ever a situation to pick up the phone and scream HELP!, I think that would be it.

    Someone I worked with tried to explain skype to me once, and I didn't quite get it. It sounds like it would be tricky to use it if you wanted to have 3 or 4 phones in your house. Is that correct? I'm one of these people that is really reluctant to change, no matter how much sense it might make. I want to have at least 3 working phones in my house and I don't want to have to go through some complicated hook up in order to make that happen.

    My family and I will be going for the 6th, and possibly last (at least for a while), year in a row. My son is in 4th grade and it's getting harder and harder for him to miss a full week of school (I realize that we could go during spring break this year, since it's in March, but I really hate crowds). With this horrible cold weather we are having, AZ has pretty much been on my mind 24/7 lateley. It's really not similar to a regular game at all. It's more relaxed, lot's of substitutions of course. Players taking wind sprints in the outfield during the game. Getting to the game early is a great thing to do during spring training. Never did it at other parks other than Maryvale. However, if you get to Maryvale early, you can wander over to the periphial diamonds and what guys go through different skill stations. Many of these guys you will not recognize and will not even have names on there backs, but you will also see some of the regulars there to if you get there early enough. The players will be walking right past you as they go from station to station. It's pretty cool. Especially if you have young kids that are into baseball and they can see how much work professional players go through to get ready for the season. If you are an autograph hawk, the best place to be is down the right field line. There is a gated area that looks into where the players come out of the club house. They tend to gravitate towards kids and not the annoying adults who are there with albums of baseball cards (and are pretty much only there for that and not the game itself). Hope that helps.
