You cannot use "our song" for another team.

It’s like creating a mixed cd for one girlfriend and then when you hook up with another, using the same mix.

What if a gf makes you a mixed cd

And then when you break up you give it to someone else?

by Sec 108 on Oct 14, 2008 4:37 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I've done this several times.

Never paid any price.

I’m sorry, the mixes I make are so great, so ingenius in their sequencing and variety and quality, that it would be a shame to lose those inspired segues and juxtapositions merely because the girlfriend you originally gave them to turned out to be a psychopath.

They can always remove him from the roster

or the could with Masterson or Byrd if he can’t go. If he’s not right their bullpen is going have to absorb a lot of innings.

by JI on Oct 14, 2008 4:33 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

If they're facing elimination

I could see them going with Lester on short rest with Beckett available out of the pen.

I'm listening to the Rays radio feed, and it's great except for this INCONCEIVABLY PAINFUL anti-smoking ad

They have Dike-K sure, but for game 6 it seems they have a lot of options, but none of them pleasant.

Never have I been bent over so far for the Rays. They have always been my #4 team, but God I hate the Red Sox they suck fecal matter filled booty.

I just can't believe how utterly dominant the Rays look.

It’s simply impossible to get them out, up and down the order. Except for Perez, every player in the lineup has been on base, and every one except Iwamura through hits.

The Red Sox do NOT have a bad bullpen. It’s just that the Rays are that good.

Assuming they win the ALCS, I pity the team that has to face them in the WS.

No we don't want the Rays turning into a bunch of giant douchebags

Because they’re going to be winning for the next 20,000,000 years and I think they should keep it classy

It is Boston though so tough call

The ultimate insult would be to hit the homer and then not round the bases.

Grab a microphone and say that you’re choosing not to score then run, because you feel it’s not necessary.

That would be my only dilemma as a manager in this situation.

Do I want to keep pouring it on even though I’m already up by 10 runs? Or do I want to tell the Red Sox “Hey, we have you beat. We’re gonna play the backups because we know you will not win today.”

I’d probably just put it to a vote and let the players decide.

In fact the only piece of evidence I have that indicates that I have been rooting for the Rays since the beginning of the season

is a Facebook wall post where I told a Red Sox fan to “watch out for the rays” back in April. And it was to a girl so it doesn’t really count

Rec'd for bluntness

I was testing to see if I could have two sets of muscle memory where my fingers could type in two different patterns to achieve the same objective

It failed and I was unable to type normally for a while

Dvorak FTW

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard

I learned it in college and haven’t gone back. I can’t touch-type on QWERTY anymore though. But I haven’t rearranged my keyboard, I just don’t look at the keys.

Not that bad

If it’s preinstalled on the windows then you can pretty easily switch it around.

And it makes more sense than doing it in alphabetical order where you have to stretch for “A”

Seems based on some odd premises.

Why should you type predominantly with your right hand? And I don’t understand how the bottom row is more difficult to reach than any other key.

Honestly

If you already know QWERTY, it’s not worth switching. If you don’t know how to touch type, it’s worth learning on Dvorak, you’ll be faster and have less stress. I’ve already switched and lost 3 months of productivity at the time so I’m not going back and doing it again.

So Frank from "Frank TV" was on Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN, today.

He said he asked the marketing department if they would lower the number of TV spots during the playoffs. The head marketing guy told him “No”.
So Frank apologized for all the freaking ads.

I can't imagine that it's doing anything to help the show's ratings.

I had a modicum of interest last year — mostly because his GW Bush is pretty incredible — but I now refuse to watch it. And I don’t know a single person who has ever seen it.

This just cannot be smart.
