That works all well and good when you are using the in store grocery bags. The problem arises when I bring our own in and try to bag it that way. The machine won't let you do anything if it senses something that isn't suppose to be there (Our Bag). I suppose we could just press "Skip Bagging" all the time and bag everything on the floor but that would be a pain in the you know what. -
A triple down the left field line? That is pretty impressive, unless the LF fell on his behind or was just being Manny.
-
Oops I meant Rivera. Not sure what I was thinking there. I am starting to like McGehee. Not a long term solution by any means but if we able to unload Hall someway somehow I would be comfortable with him platooning at 3rd (I know small sample size). That being said the Crew is by far a better team if Hall turns it around this year
-
I guess if you are going to try to steal home you might as well do it in Spring Training. I can't really fault Rickie without knowing the exact situation. At least he got a hit. Gallardo had one heck of an afternoon. 3 IP 5 K's 1 H 0 BB
-
I am pretty sure he is playing 3rd today. Kendall is catching. Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention as to if he previously played C.
-
Good start for Yo in the 1st inning with 2 K's. Hopefully Rickie gets his 1st hit pretty soon.....

Buying a new house that has a built in wooden bench (Pretty sweet), needing to buy a new pillow/pad for said bench only to find out the darn thing is going to cost $350. $350 for a freaking pillow. Granted it is like 6 feet long but come on!! But since I get to put up my saltwater fish tank my wife says I have to buy this thing.
-
I am pretty sure Andruw Jones just restructured his remaining contract into a ton of deferred money. That was another Dodger dea, it worked with Jones they are hoping that it will work with Ramirez.
-
Hart is just mashing so far
-
It is only the 2nd week of Spring Training and I am already sick of it. I am also sick of Jeff Suppan sucking even if it is only Spring Training. San Diego looks like a AA team and Suppan manages to give up 2 walks, two hitys and a HR in 1/3 of an inning.
-
I am jealous. My wife has me on an "All Organic" diet. It is slowly growing on me but I sure wish I could splurge and go crazy every once in a while. Right now my wife is doing a cleanse of Water, Honey, Lemon, and Cayenne Pepper. That is all she can eat for an entire week. I should thank her though. In about 8 months I have gone from 275 to about 250 (I am well over 6 feet so I wasn't all that fat to begin with) If I ever splurge it is almost always at Taco Bell, but strangely enough I never even heard of the Bacon Cheesy Gordita Crunch and there is no way I would even think about eating 5 in one day.
-
Ok so how many walks are there going to be today? Yikes
-
Would anyone care to do a PBP? Those of us at work without any audio would be eternally grateful. Gameday just doesn't do the trick in spring training since it isn't updated constantly like it is in the regular season.
-
Link to Gameday because mlb.com is still not showing Gameday as available. Gameday only updates every 1/2 inning, just a word of warning. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2009_02_26_milmlb_chnmlb_1

Given each of the Giants starters will be making their 1st start it is probably unlikely that any of them make it past the 7th inning, so what does their bullpen look like? It is probably a little bit a a blessing that we play a team with a very good rotation in the 1st series because they won't be as effective going late into games as they would say 2-3 weeks into the season.
-
Yes, unless you want to file your amended return with paper. I have never filed paper income taxes but I would assume the wait time for the return is much longer, so it would probably just make sense to wait for E-File to be available. I'll try to remember to post an update when E-File is available
-
Even if he has made $26 million or whatever, making a couple extra million is never a bad thing. If doctors have cleared him I really don't see what the big deal is.
-
Just a little update from my previous post if anyone is interested. As of right now you can't E-File if you plan on taking the new credit. You can paper file however. The IRS says that it will take about 2 weeks to update all software so if you want to E-file using Tax Act, Turbo Tax etc, just wait a couple weeks.
-
Well Julio didn't exactly have a great start. Those walks and 2R HR's aren't a good way to get yourself a job.
-
Thanks for the link. When I go to mlb.com the gameday icon isn't showing for any of the games. I am not sure what is going on how did you go about finding that link? There is suppose to be a little baseball diamond icon next to the game, that is where I always went in to watch Gameday, its not showing up right now.
-
MLB.come has a live box score going for all the games but it doesn't look like they have gameday up and running as far as I can tell. Last year TH or AW did a play by play in the Brewers Blog at jsonline but I haven't checked to see if they are doing that again this year.
-
Plus Koskie stands to make quite a bit of additional money if he can indeed come back and play reasonably well. Its worth the risk IMO. So long as he is symptom free of course. If I was in his position I would also try to come back Heck even if he gets the major league minimum that still helps his family out a ton.
-
If you are a millionaire their is really no reason to have all your eggs in one basket. Eyre and all players should have accounts at multiple banks. It is just a logical risk strategy.

The IRS jsut came out with the new regulations regarding the changes to the First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit - For a home purchased between January 1 and December 1, 2009 - $8,000 or 10% of purchase price, whatever is lower - Credit can be claimed on the 2008 or 2009 return (Form #5405 has been updated) - For those bought in 2009, the credit does not need to be repaid - For those who bought under the original credit in 2008, you are SOL, the old $7,500 credit still applies and you still have to pay it back http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=204672,00.html http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f5405.pdf If someone bought their house in 2008 and wanted to take this credit I would be super pissed because they still have to pay it back.
-
I agree with those that have said that if Gallardo and Parra won't be the opening day starter why not Looper or Bush? What would possibly make Suppan the best choice unless Macha is already conceding opening day?
