  1. okay. maybe this is their way of making it a bit more competitive.
  2. i don't know the exact answer to this issue, but i've seen it raised elsewhere . . . can congress act against a presidential order?
  3. no, man, you're thinking of the keyboardist for earth, wind & fire.
  4. at least we didn't trade heaney and skaggs to get him.
  5. the 1970 world series was between the reds and orioles. i loved the reds, and johnny bench was my favorite player. i was in 4th grade and i wanted to watch the series, which was all day games then. my dad had a b&w portable tv and i asked him if i could take it to school to see if the teacher would let me watch the games. he said yes, so i hauled that bad boy with me on the bus to school each day. my teacher, mrs. cook, was cool with the idea as long as i got my work done first. that was the best thing she could have said to me, because i always got my work done quickly. as soon as i was done, i would set up the tv on a little table and pull my chair over to watch. she even let other boys come over and watch it with me. time of my life doing that. got to see a lot of the series that year.
  6. see ya later, punk. sounded a lot like roid rage.
  7. then brace yourself, because you're going to hear it a ton in the next year.
  8. when i graduated, these things didn't exist. relax, that only back in 1978. today, my daughter has the option of a regular diploma, an AP diploma, or a college prep diploma. she opted for college prep. we don't offer IB classes at my school or in the adventist system. What is it and what does it stand for? it sounds pretty rigorous.
  9. keep your eyes on your own work and stay out of adam's cheating thread.
  10. no. i see it as being disrespectful of them by using a derogatory term.
  11. that's the screwy thing in all of this. Who do you call in Damascus? And how do you know you're getting reliable information? And how do you know you're getting all the information? saying that they'll vet the refugees is the biggest load of horse crap i think i've ever heard.
  12. this thread title made me think of former tampa bay buccaneers coach john mckay and this exchange with a reporter after a particularly bad game, back when the bucs were first starting out and were so bloody awful. Q: what do you think of the execution of your offense? A: i'm all in favor of it.
  13. when he and manny were in their prime, they were a lethal combination. i'm sure that's the kind of middle of the order bats this franchise has coveted for a long time. if you could stay sober and out of jail, it would have been a good time to be a blosox fan.
  14. no one looked at obp back then, strad. nettles was terribly frustrating because his batting average was so low. if he could get on base, he was fun to watch, but he could hardly get on base. i remember him looking a lot like rivers in how he walked and ran, but the comparison ended there.
  15. mickey rivers, 1975. someone already guessed it.
  16. i'm not going to say what source i'm using for the questions because someone else may have the same source. buy yeah, google can be helpful.
  17. well done, makepeac. your check is in the mail.
  18. Which Angels centerfielder led the AL in both triples (13) and stolen bases (70) in the same year? And what year was it?
