<BR>Joss Stone
<BR>White Stripes "Elephant" (yeah, still)
<BR>Danilo Perez
<BR>Bill Frisell "The Intercontinentals"
<BR>Last Emperor

<BR>That´s just today...

I´m in...just tell me where and when.

I´ve got a 6 year-old nephew who is way into Yu Gi Oh. In a desperate and sad attempt to retain "cool uncle" status, I´d like to be able to play with him. <BR> <BR>Anyone have any pointers or online spots which can get me up to speed on the rules etc. <BR> <BR>I really just need to teach him Texas H...

cd, Handled with class. I was surprised that the Astros players were as nasty as they were about things, but then again the way they went out was pretty awful. <BR> <BR>db, This is a VERY different matchup than in 98. Obviously, the Braves are the favorites again, but the way these teams are built a...

Spooky, <BR> <BR>I live in LaGrange. <BR> <BR>The energy was ridiculous. The interesting thing was innings 3-8 of game 2. The place was as subdued as I´ve ever heard it. We were all pretty much in shock. Messmer even missed some pitching changes and announced another after 3 hitters LOL It was very ...

´Cuz,
<BR>
<BR>A lot of people here are making the Dusty-Phil comparison, and I think it´s accurate.
<BR>
<BR>P.S. Anyone seen "cdastros" around lately? <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif">

Gentlemen, I can´t still can´t believe my luck at being able to say this, but... <BR> <BR>I WAS THERE!! <BR> <BR>I planted my posterior in Section 211 Row 12 Seat 102 at 11:45a.m. and did not leave the immediate area until I was danced and screamed out at 6:45p.m. <BR> <BR>In the interim I had the s...

db, <BR> <BR>I have a problem, I mean a MAJOR problem with RTS games for some reason! The only one´s I´ve ever enjoyed were the Shogun/Medievil Total War games. I´m an old school, turn-based junkie, but for some reason most RTS´s leave me cold. Know I´m in the minority on this one, but just tastes l...

I TOTALLY remember him, as I unfortunately do most Cubs since the late 1970´s. <BR> <BR>His career numbers: .279 .313 .400 <BR>Not awe-inspiring, even for that era, but he had an extremely respectable 10 year career. <BR> <BR>I can actually visualize his ´79 Topps card in my head. How scary is that,...

Steelerfan, <BR> <BR>As a Cub fan who saw abject failure in 1984 and Andre Dawson and Ryne Sandberg thoroughly flop in 1989, I absolutely feel your pain. But as a baseball fan I´m not going to start evaluating players based on voodoo like "clutch performance" and personality. Baseball is a game of s...

That´s a great catch, snate. Thanks for the heads up!

db, <BR> <BR>Agree with that. Traditionally LF is the dog pound, while the best pure arm is in right and the best range/overall defender is in Center. <BR> <BR>Teams are getting away from this more and more though, as the imbalance in offensive and defensive value is encouraging them to use guys lik...

In the midst of my customary yawn while reading about how Bonds (or any superstar) isn´t "clutch", I remembered a fun fact. <BR> <BR>In 1926, Babe Ruth was thrown out trying to steal second base to end Game 7 of the World Series. The Yanks were down 3-2 with Bob Meusel up and Lou Gehrig on deck! Not...

That´s excellent.
<BR>
<BR>A lot of teams still break it out once and awhile, but most O-coordinators know how to West Coast it to death.
<BR>
<BR>

Javi, <BR> <BR>The spread stands for the number of points that the favorite is expected to win by. <BR> <BR>In the case you mentioned the Browns are expected to win by 6.5 points, so if you bet the Browns they must win by 7 or more in order for you to collect. The "minus 6.5" terminology stands for ...

I´ve just accepted that the volume of games release, combined with the very open ended gameplay found in "Parenthood 1.0" makes it completely impossible for me to keep up. <BR> <BR>I suppose that it´s a good thing that there are so many quality titles now, but I do feel pangs occassionally because s...

LOL @ myself. I Let my aggravation take control a bit too much there. Serves me right for sinking to his level on three hours sleep. I think my general point remains valid, though. <BR> <BR>PS Spell checkers are for wussies. Plus they hardly ever know how to spell important words like "wussies." <IM...

1. Dan, you are aware that at the end of the season all the divisional rivals will have played the same teams the same number of times, correct? The "stud" Astros and Cards should´ve done a little better in the easier portions, apprently. <BR> <BR>2. cdastros. Is there some sort of online translator...

Anyone seen the Cardinals around lately? (snicker)
<BR>
<BR>Just wanna know so that I can get some more wisdom from Matt Morris <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon24.gif">

Jared, <BR> <BR>Thanks for the tips. One of my early aborted endeavors was a game as the Fire, but I kept getting frustrated b/c I don´t know the MLS rules for roster construction etc. I had enough to learn with the game, and didn´t need compound it at that point. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_s...

I´m almost definitely getting into the ESPN league.
<BR>
<BR>I doubt I´ll do another NCAA one, though. This is the first year I´ve switched to SEGA football at all, and my old-man´s brain is having a hell of a time getting the control differences straight.
