Gary had the answer already! She's too short to punch the button for floor 10. She can only reach up to the button for 7. But if someone else is in the elevator, she can ask them to punch 10 for her. Of course in the morning it doesn't matter, as the button for ground is the lowest one. Now then. How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man?

I pretty much only listened to Cardinals games on the radio (and now on mlb.com). So of course Jack Buck. And I am a big Mike Shannon fan. Love the Moonman.

Ya'll some whiny ass titty babies for threatening to quit a damn website because someone posted a thread about your team losing....but it's not that they posted it in the first place, it's that they didn't use neutral language and/or didn't link to a good enough article about your team losing. Whatever. You were pissed that the Yankees lost, you were upset about it, and in the heat of the moment you let your frustrations out. And now you're trying to act all holier than thou, "wahh, rcade violated SpoFi standards" BS to try to cover your tracks because you are embarrassed that you did such a human thing but don't want to admit it.

Can I claim the Costanza or what? Nuh uh! I won it fair and square! (my secret: autodraft!!!) The Costanza is for the worst team that actually tried. The last league activity for the Steeplebats was June 15th; I was active as late as August 22nd. Moving up one more slot, KendallzSluggerz played until Sept 19th. Minny Trax is the lowest ranked team that actually made moves up to the last day of the season. We need a ruling over here!

My girlfriend got me a signed copy of Four Corners for my birthday one year. I haven't read Featherston's book yet. I'll get to it at some point, and probably finish it off in two evenings. I'm not sure it covers any new territory on the topic, but Featherston's writing is excellent. Oh man - things are kinda messed up at the top of my two favorite athletic departments (Duke and Arkansas). Someone has parked firejoealleva.com for now, but yeah - I'm done with him. Not that I have any influence on it, but letting G go was the last straw. The football debacle would be grounds enough at most schools, the lax situation on top of that should have done it, and the G saga...I guess you only need one person in your corner if that person carries a big enough stick.

NoMich, your Carolina fan family will probably like To Hate... better than tieguy and I did. They'll be able to weather the dull parts better because the author is writing from their perspective on the rivalry. Personally, this is the only book that I have ever thrown across the room. And yes, Last Amateurs suffers in comparison to March to Madness and Season on the Brink in that the athletes and coaches and fans just aren't as notable. Everyone can picture a Bob Knight tirade....but can you picture the coach from Lehigh? I still read it and every other basketball book Feinstein has written (The Punch) though.

OK - I just now checked this thread after I checked NHL.com to see if the first round was finished or what. I totally guessed on all my picks. And I'm in 2nd place. I think that Calgary pick is not going to work out so great in the long run, though.

Yep, I'll be keeping an eye on it too...all 4 matchups are 5-4 going into the final day of games.

The Japanese uniforms and jackets have a certain SyntheticFabricsWillSaveThePlanet early 80's quality about them. And those dirt infields make it look like a beer league softball field. I love that the umps are willing to mix it up, and the Americans have their first name on the jerseys

So I watched the Ovechkin-Briere video. Has anyone in the NHL ever gone absolutely nuts and wielded a hockey stick as a weapon? I'm not talking about high sticking or anything within the normal course of play. I'm talking about a situation (for instance) where Gaustad sees Briere go down and then decides he's going to go Braveheart on Ovechkin. Surely there's some sort of unwritten rules of hockey where this is forbidden. But I have to think that at some point, one of the testosterone laden players has lost his mind in the heat of competition and done this.

Right....tselson, the word "start" does not mean what you think it means. It means you have 7 active pitchers who can accumulate stats on a particular day. They can be any combination of starters or relievers in real life.
