  1. I'd have a big banquet. With all the world leaders, and celebrities, and rights groups and lawyers invited. Drinking and eating the most expensive foods around. It will be a true spectacle of indulgence. Then I'd lock the door, and burn down the building with everyone inside.
  2. Road Rage Camaro A-Hole Wrecks Himself Into Big Rig: Video
  3. Always thought Spaceman was a good one. Big Hurt. And according to Wiki.
  4. Unless he hits in Texas like he usually hits in Texas. Then it's going to come back like a drunk Napoli in the Boston streets.
  5. Fletcher can probably answer this better. But I do believe that they would get the salary relief if he is suspended for a drug offense. But I don't believe that they would get relief from the luxury tax hit. Might be wrong on both ends though. Thinking about it more. It could go either way. If the Angels are paying the Rangers, then they might not get relief. If the Angels are paying part of his salary, then they might get relief. I'm sure it's all hashed out in the trade details.
  6. Wasn't that the kids name in Married with Children also?
  7. Death toll over 4000. And they still haven't gotten to the remote areas yet.
  8. When I hear mighty 690. I think of a San Diego based sports radio station that kicked ass.
  9. Anyone think this is the last gasp for boxing? If it's however many rounds of Mayweather running away and getting a split decision vs two guys pounding each other and trying to get a win, this is boxings fate. And if it's the former, it just might be the final nail in the coffin. I read an article yesterday, about how for one day, it'll be like the 50's again. And that is because horse racing and boxing is taking center stage. Sadly for boxing they also mentioned that the heavyweight championship was decided last Saturday. And no one probably knew about it.
  10. Angels want Josh Hamilton to be playing for someone So per a previous conversation regarding the no income tax in Texas. Looks like the Rangers will get the benefit of it.
  11. Good news. http://abcnews.go.com/International/potential-shift-hostage-policy-officials-recommend-families-free/story?id=30589726 I sense an uptick of kidnapping overseas occuring now.
  12. I almost got sideswiped in a roundabout because the moron didn't bother looking to see if it was safe, and almost went immediately into the middle lane.
  13. Adrian Beltre sends Garrett Richards an invoice for broken bats glad there is some sense of humor among teams.
  14. Google exec already one of the dead there. Huge tragedy. The number will probably continue to go higher. Pet peeve time. Why is it when there is an international tragedy, the news invariably says the number of Americans were involved. 2,500 people dead. Yet the ABC alerts had to point out, including 3 Americans. It's like if no Americans were involved, it's no longer news. See most of what is happening in Africa, and the last plane crash. No Americans involved, we will report it, but we won't cover it. /endrant Now back to the tragedy. Oddest thing I'm seeing about all the news reports. They have a total dead so far. But no where have I seen a count of the missing. Which leads me to believe that the number will continue to go much higher. Also, aid is coming from Russia, China, India, and other countries right away, but no mention of the US.
  15. Was Pac Man part of the cleanup crew?
  16. For a deal that is done. It sure isn't done yet. As per the second person familiar with the deal said.
  17. I think the biggest reason why he rehabbed in Houston vs in Arizona at least initially was that his rehab would have been during spring training. It would have been a much huger distraction to the rest of the team if he was in AZ. Houston was probably the best destination for him and the team. As for him not wanting to report to AZ, recently. I think there is a lot of speculation here. These types of trades don't happen overnight. So if this has been in the pipes for the last few days, which his comeback plan was just announced beginning of this week, I can see why he wouldn't want to report to AZ if they were working on a trade.
  18. 50% of his games are not played in Texas, so if I'm right, that would be counted at that state he's playing ins tax rate. I have a feeling what's holding it up isn't reducing the Angels portion of it, but reducing the Rangers portion of it.
  19. Girl who battled cancer is dismissed for missing school
