Huh?

What kind of communist organization do you work for?

Howdy

I'm back. Kinda glad I missed the melodrama last night. It's too early in the season to be thinking the sky is falling.

Game time! Woohoo!

Is it the same with the cycle?

I thought it was only on no-hitters.

by Drama on Apr 3, 2008 2:43 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Not sure

I'm all kinds of confused by this evil twin thread and Demoira just joining us...

What? This isn't the first thread? Huh?

Where have you guys been all game? I thought hell had froze over and I was here alone for only the 4th game of the season. . . .

Here comes the Heat

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. "Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

I hope you don't get another green asterisk

I can't believe you scored the first one with a Pulp Fiction quote.

Trevor wont

..but not because of last night. He wont because he's worked two nights in a row and this is a day game right after.

Maybe Buddy leaves Heat out there?

He only threw 12 pitches.

by Drama on Apr 3, 2008 2:53 PM PDT   0 recs

That was the heart of their line up

Good thought. Unless you want him fresher for the Dodgers, but I'm about 50/50 on that idea.

Was that the first official

hockey suit of the season?

Oswalt was Kooozed!

Jake was on the BP show Tuesday night and said he saw the results on Roy later that night - yes, he saw Oswalt without pants...anyway...he said it was pretty ugly and looked really painful.

That stat was awesome

All the saves leaders have at least 50 more blown saves than Trevor does

by matto619 on Apr 3, 2008 3:02 PM PDT   0 recs

Trevor tends to just blow

"meaningful" games.

But then, I guess they all are.

by Mr. Meadows on Apr 3, 2008 3:03 PM PDT   0 recs

2 down

Lets go.
