HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

This is such a great idea, and one I've never thought of before, but it would make a fantastic movie. I'm sure Hollywood would ruin it by adding an epilogue where Jordon and his son (never made clear in the book if it is his or not) have a touching meeting over a Grand Slam at a Denny's. You know Hollywood can't let that one pass. You're right, of course; if it was made, the result would most likely be very disappointing. Can't tell you how much I love your idea, it really would make a great movie. Wonder if Jordan ever shopped the book around, or made a script of it. I'm trying to remember, but didn't I read somewhere that Jordan is married to Meg Ryan's mother?

Ketchup is okay, but don't get me started on relish -- yuck!

Is anyone counting on Calon for anything? The Yankees will feel lucky with ten wind out of him. Texas looks great. Boston not so great.

I mean: Simce when does anything that Bud does make any sense Darn iPhone, I'm even a worse speller using it.

One of the possible outcomes of the trial is that Bud Selig will declare Bonds home run record wiped out if Bond's is found guilty. Selig hates the idea of Bonds having Aaron's record, and might be his chance to take it away. For the record, I would not agree with that course of action.

"Yankee Hobo In The Orient" by John Patric, is an interesting read. Patric wrote the book about his visit to Japan in the 1930s, and it is very politically incorrect. The book was given to the USA troops to give them "insight" to the Japanese mind. Might be hard to find, I bought my copy at a used bookstore in Mt. Vernon, WA.

I have MLB 11 on my iPhone, and it is a great way to follow baseball on the road, and just $14.99.

Thankfully, the real season starts. Should be a great year. NL: Giants, Reds, Braves, WC Phillies Al: Oakland, Twins, Red Sox, WC Tampa Bay WS: Red Sox vs Braves Winner: Braves in 7

Very good article on Tony Gwynn, Mr. San Diego, and his recovery from cancer. SAN DIEGO -- The trophy case in his home is full of gold gloves, silver bats and taco-brown uniforms. But it's the white mask in the corner that keeps Tony Gwynn preoccupied. Sometimes he puts on the mask to remember his November and December, to remember what it felt like to have the ultimate fastball aimed at his head. Sometimes he puts it on for no reason at all. It's the only item in his trophy room that he stares at, the only item that has nothing to do with baseball, the only item that is probably worthless on eBay but priceless to this Hall of Famer. To Tony Gwynn, it is not just a mask made out of ordinary plastic. It is the mask that helped him, literally, save face. The rest of the article

You can be sure there would have been a couple of "f-bombs" in the answer...

Supposedly 10.59 GB, more or less as these things go.

Question answered. Thank you Rod!

I'd like to transfer this box on my Nano (16gb), anyone know how many GB's this monster takes up?

We'll get to see Luis Castillo! :excited:

Miss Idaho again?? What is it with the Nationals?

No, I haven't. I'll have to put that on my ever expanding list for my next Amoeba run.

Agree on all counts, I use to agonize over what books to bring on a trip, now, no agony. I read tons of pre-1900 stuff so I've been able to get a lot of writers for free, or $0.99 and $1.99, some of the buys are just plan fantastic. I'm a big booster of Kindle now. Why publishers are keeping the price of newer books high, I don't know, it seems self defeating, I would buy a lot of newer book at $9.00.

Oh, and now they're saying May for a deluxe. Uh huh, sure... I definitely would be on board for a deluxe edition of Loveless, what would they add for the second disk? A concert? Demos?

I'm starting to feel like a vampire now...

I ask a million pardons, I was a fool about Loveless! I've been listening to it lately and it is a stone-cold classic, maybe I wasn't playing it loud enough. I will hang my head in shame now. Kevin Shields, I'm sorry!

I'm a UT alum and I too was disappointed at the outcome. So, is the four count thing a rule that was improperly enforced? Also, it looked to me like the foul at the end happened after the clock ran out. Believe me, I wish things had turned out differently, and I'm not saying there hasn't been some poor officiating. I'm just tying to understand what went wrong with those particular calls. There is no such thing as "no time-outs after four seconds," that was just made up by the referee, even the head of NCAA admitted that. ESPN put a stopwatch on the play, and time-out was called 3.9 seconds. This quote from the ref is ridiculous: However, referee Richard Cartmell called Joseph for a five-second violation, though replays showed he appeared to make the call before reaching five. "I had five seconds before the kid turned and signaled a timeout," Cartmell said in a statement. "I had to make a decision whether it was five seconds or a timeout, and I made the decision it was five seconds because I had counted five seconds before he called timeout." 99.9999% of the referees in the world would have chosen to call a time-out given the situation, I've must have watched a million basketball games in my life, and I've never seen that call made at the end of a game. Not calling a foul on the last shot was just a ref swallowing the whistle, the dude didn't have the nerve to make the call. Why these refs don't us sports common sense is beyond me. In the Butler game, calling a foul on a defensive rebound, under the opposite basket, while the player even had his back to the basket with 0.9 seconds to go, it also way beyond common sense to me. Abysmal refereeing in my book.

What I would love to know is how the crew that made a shambles of the end of the notorious St. John's Big East Tournament game, gets into the NCAA Tournament, and AGAIN, completely screws up end of game calls like they did in the AZ / TX game? Their "explanation" that you can't call a time-out after the four count is complete bs. The game would have been better off if they would have walked off the floor early again. I have no love for UT, but they really go hosed on this one -- and I haven't even mentioned the lack of a call on the final play either. The refs just choked this game away, and I hope they are asked to go home again..
