  1. the original 21 jump street series with johnny depp and the deluise kid. it was well done, though i'm guessing by now it'll look pretty dated. i like the current incarnation of hawaii 5-0, also.
  2. i always prefer to buy them some food instead of just giving them money, but that's not always possible.
  3. ha, did anyone else see lackey raise his hands like "WTH, yadi" on that passed ball in the first? dork.
  4. it's really disappointing that for all the times the FIC has been here, it's never to meet with business leaders or see the people. it's always about $$$. like jimmy kimmel said a few weeks ago, barry is like a college student that only stops by his parents house in LA when he needs money, then takes off again until the next time he's tapped dry.
  5. if you're going with diesel fuel, then you also better get some ax body spray to use on the tree so that no one can smell the diesel.
  6. poor peyts. he's growing up thinking this is what normal looks like. i pity the first girl to date him.
  7. one of the first singers i remember from my young days.
  8. back in the 70s and 80s, the networks would hire announcers like vin scully and joe garagiola. they were excellent together. i'd like to see baseball go back to hiring teams like that for the post-season. ernie johnson works best as a studio host, like brent musberger. putting him as the lead play by play guy doesn't work, just like it doesn't for musberger.
  9. wow, some amazing answers here. seems most have forgotten that the royals came to play. they out-pitched, out-hit, and out-defensed us. 50% royals 50% crappy performances by the angels and the manager
  10. whatever it was that hamilton was doing so well the first ten games or so (until he hurt his thumb), find it and make him do it again. short of that, take him out of the cleanup spot. he should never, ever hit fourth again as an angel unless he suddenly re-discovers whatever he now so sorely lacks as a hitter. as for CJ, i don't really have any answers. i know the jekyll and hyde routine has to end. whether that happens with us or with another team doesn't really matter to me right now. i'm not in favor of any big signings this off season. i would keep freese. i'd unload jepsen.
  11. this year? yes. the year and half we didn't have morales, our biggest offensive bat? no, and it wasn't close. there's nothing wrong with criticism, but be fair about the kind of team we had in 2010 and 2011.
  12. you always want to treat some of those seasons as if the team was healthy and had all the necessary components to win. i want to remind you that wasn't the case, and it's disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
  13. i think a 4.5 era is what you get with 6ip and 3er allowed. that's a quality start, and i think pretty much all of us here would take that from wilson (just not in the first inning).
  14. if the good CJ shows up, there's no discussion. i don't think anyone can make a blanket statement that CJ should have never started this game. this one is on him, not the manager.
  15. the bats now have their chance to redeem this game. time for everyone to earn their next paycheck. they can do this.
  16. way to pitch big tonight, CJ. you really stepped up your game at the time we needed you most.
  17. it'll be interesting to see how the team plays when lefty becomes captain some day.
  18. wow, watson sounds like he just doesn't relate very well. paper this morning said watson called phil and the two of them worked out their issues.
  19. yeah, vegas, i don't really thing there's a better explanation than that. when the raiders played here, the black and silver was really popular with the gangs and the wannabes. you always saw tons of hats and jackets. in fact, you can still see quite a few here even though the raiders have been gone since '95. jim hill still covers them near the top of his sunday sports show, too. i hate it.
