Paging Dan Gould....

OK. Um...Guys? I think at this point we need to ackowledge the best and most competitive division in the MLB: The NL West. D'backs vs. Rockies for the right to play in the WS. In short, the NL West is, in fact, the best.

BBQ'd salmon and chicken breasts served with mixed stir fry vegies and steamed rice. Pinot Grigio is the table wine.

On the first day of school a first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Dodger fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Dodger fans. Wanting to impress their teacher, everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise, "Janie, why didn't you raise your hand?" "Because I'm not a Dodger fan," she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are not a Dodger fan, then who are you a fan of?" "I am a Giants fan, and proud of it," Janie replied. The teacher could not believe her ears. "Janie, why are you a Giants fan?" "Because my mom is a Giants fan, and my dad is Giants fan, so I'm a Giants fan too!" "Well," said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, "that is no reason for you to be a Giants fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom were an idiot and your dad were a moron, what would you be then?" "Then," Janie smiled, "I'd be a Dodger fan."

I dunno. GoodSpeak seems kinda cool.

The English boil everything, fer crissakes. What the hell do they know about hot, er [sorry!]....sauce?

That's why I mentioned it. I still think it's kinda strange. I'll bet they don't have it on the table in China. It is strange. Chinese restaurants in my neck o'the woods tend to just have soy sauce on the table.

Perfect. As if we Niners fans haven't suffered enough. Losing Smith isn't all that big a deal [he, well....sucks basically] it's what the Niners will replace him with that worries me. Go Niners Ugh.

Paging Gould, paging Gould! Har. sheesh

I'd have never guessed that. Cool

Yike! That's almost as bad as wearing a 49er's jersey to a Raiders game.

I agree. Beckett was untouchable. His thrid post season shut out.

Here's an old reliable stand-by at our house:

Alex Smith is out for the next few weeks due to a shoulder separation [probably the best thing that could happen to the Niners right now] Bad news: Enter 35 year-old Trent Dilfer. Just shoot me.

or did he have nekked wimmen under his nose? Sheeee-IT, Chuck. He should get the firing squad for that one.

My 1st round picks: Rockies take the Phils. Angels knock off the BoSox. Cubbies v. AZ is a toss up....but the D'backs are one tough team to beat. Cle'lan is just happy to be there....damn yonkers will win.

The article in the first post mentions this guy's "porn stash." Um. Porn stash? Was he growing marijuana or looking at naked women....?

Good luck with that.

This one'll fire up yer taste buds:

Niners lose...oh what a shock. Go Chargers.

Grand slam by Adrian Gonzalez! Go Padres!!!! 5-4, Pads...bottom of the 5th.

A few comments: 1) I have a hard time imagining how several million toys would fail to raise alarms in a situation with random inspections. 2) I don't see a reason to feel sorry for Mattel or step up to their defense. I haven't been following the story closely enough to recall the particulars, but even if they didn't know about the lead levels, they should have been aware that this kind of thing could happen. Guy I see. So if it "seems unlikely" then it can't possibly happen. Interesting. Is that how it is? Applying your logic, Watergate never happened because it "seems unlikely." Amazing.

Because corporations are faceless entities hell bent for profit....not responsibility. You are smarter than you appear. Or maybe just more aware than others on this BBS.

Damn, GoodSpeak, it took you long enough to figure it out! I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt....and the space to make it right. Seriously, I still hold out hope that Dan will, one day, actually catch the big giant clue I'm sending him. We can only hope.
