  1. You would think that shooting a missle at someone would at least be on par with shooting a gun at someone, and not something that you get off on $5000 bail and released.
  2. Is there a contest of who can flop the best? Of if the "Worlds Biggest Tournament" will be determined by a exhibition penalty kick?
  3. Jason Spezza Asks For Trade From Ottawa Senators; 4-5 NHL Teams Interested
  4. Yes, I was hoping that Alex Curry got a portion of that gatorade bath.
  5. Toilet Unclogger Could Be the Greatest Plumbing Invention Since the Plunger
  6. Actually I take the above back. This has Oakland claim written all over it. Pitchers park, he was successful there, risk of $16 million vs steal at $42.5 million.
  7. But, 1 1/2 years, around for about $16 million. With an option for another year at $13 million, and another at $13.5 million. He does have an opt out for the option years, but does anyone think he will be top 2 in Cy Young voting? And if he does get top 2 in Cy Young voting, I doubt the team that gets him will care. Considering the price for starting pitching in FA'cy and the price a SP would cost in trade. Some team might find it worth it. If a team can straighten him out, he would be a steal at 3 1/2 years at $42.5 million. And they would only risk 1 1/2 at $16 million. IMO, this has big market team claim written all over it. Not sure if it's the Angels though.
  8. I use adblock. Which is a shame, because banner ads really don't bother me, but the new fad is constant video streaming ads which I detest. So by by all ads.
  9. $320 in China is either chump change, or 6 months salary. Depending on which side of the line you are. And since it was an open pit communal toilet, I would say they were on the 6 month salary side.
  10. For DFA, are the only options: A) D'backs litterally walk away, and give the team Cahill, but that team has to pay the entire salary. D'backs work out a trade with the team. C) D'backs pull him back to the team?
  11. Odd move. Since it might be only money involved, Yanks might take a flier.
  12. Las Vegas Cop-Killers Hated Government and Left Swastika on Body WTF neighborhood do they live in? And the link is pretty detailed on what happened.
  13. Ok, just for the sake of arguement. But if you were a white supremacist. Why would you go out and kill two white cops? Wouldn't a better target have been a black, hispanic or asian cop?
  14. I actually still love reading a newspaper. And still subscribe to the LAT. Something about carrying a paper wherever you want, not worrying about destroying it, just the feel of a paper. Then again, I prefer reading a book to ebook.
  15. Just wait till Chuck announces that he's hired TJ as a contributor. LOLZ And the paywall was a stupid idea.
  16. Two Cops, Three Others Killed in Las Vegas Shooting Spree
  17. I would not put it past Stromach to move the Preakness to July 4th. Since Churchill and the NYRA seems hesitant to move their dates.
  18. Yeah, that was one of the few wins I had on the day, since I did an exacta, malice with golden. Sad thing is, if Colburn shut his trap. This would be the story, and instead it would be a legitimate excuse as to why Chrome lost. Istead it's all about Colburn, and tarnishing Chrome's legacy.
  19. See How the Digital Dino Effects of 'Jurassic Park' Changed Movies Forever In This Exclusive Clip This is a pretty cool inside look into what went into the CGI of Jurrasic Park.
  20. I think this is more of the reason why Chrome didn't win, as opposed to any new shooters. California Chrome gashes foot during Belmont Stakes
  21. Tradition. In the early days, horses routinely ran every 2-3 weeks. This is how often Seabiscuit ran. Year Starts Firsts Seconds Thirds Earnings 1940 4 2 0 1 $96,850 1939 1 0 1 0 $400 1938 11 6 4 1 $130,395 1937 15 11 2 1 $168,580 1936 23 9 1 5 $28,995 1935 35 5 7 5 $12,510 1935 was his 3 year old season I believe. Might have been his 2 year old season since he was born in 33. But he ran 35 times. You also have to remember. The last triple crown winner was 1978. Before that 1977. Before that 1973. And the one before that was 1948 with Citation. This is how often Citation ran. Year Starts Firsts Seconds Thirds Earnings 1951 7 3 1 2 $147,130 1950 9 2 7 0 $73,480 1948 20 19 1 0 $709,470 1947 9 8 1 0 $155,680 So Citation ran 20 times in his triple Crown year. 1930-1948, there were 7 Triple Crown winners, 2 that missed the third leg of the belmont, and 4 others that won 2 of the three legs but lost either kentucky or preakness. But when you look at it. Since 1978, so in 36 years. 13 horses lost the third leg at the belmont. 7 others lost a different leg.
  22. Dayum. Blast by California Chrome's co-owner Steve Coburn tarnishes amazing story
