Davis 9th?

WTF?

I'm undefeated in fights. Have I been in any? No. Thats because people know my f'ing status. Don't mess with the elite. - Miles

where did you see that?

cause given or just see a new lineup card?

the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is

Or is he just ill.?

He's afraid of telling his wife they're moving to Minnesota.

Remember how upset she got when there were just rumors that he may be traded?

by rcreative on Jul 28, 2008 6:19 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I love this time of year...

as soon as anyone is pulled from a lineup everyone starts scrambling around to see if/where the guy was traded.

I'm so excited to see more Clement

He’s from my home state and I remember his senior season when he broke the national home run record. Such a good guy. Even though he plays for the Mariners, I would still like to see him do well.

i like seeing clement

because it is a reminder of the contract they gave to johjima and how inept the front office is.

From what I've heard from Mariners fans

Clement is still a a bit of a liability behind the plate, but they really like his bat.

Too bad we don't still have EV

I would have loved watching EV pitch against FH. It would have been a battle of the crooked hats!

we don’t see Josh today..

There's no pregame

So I assumed it was on 27…but I’m not in DFW area, so I dunno. It’s on channel 742 for me :)

Toogling all the way back and forth

Felix "Queen" Hernandez can suck my weenus...

this series won’t be as fun tonight without the ability to throw at Sexson.

Question, if we target him later in the season when the Yanks visit Arlington, would the Yanks stick up for him, or laugh at him? Also, laugh at him striking out does not count.

Aight. Time to go pick up some fried chicken and okra

Which should mean that the Rangers will have a huge inning and I’ll miss it. Woot!

Fried okra is awesome

does Blalock chew tobacco?

I hope he didn’t accidentaly swallow one of those nasty…what do they call it? chaws?

Yes he does chew

This is a possibility.

My co-worker has one of those cups, though

So gross. He’s left it on my desk a few times and I finally told him if he left it on my desk again, I’d make sure he wasn’t allowed to chew in the office ever again. That has solved it so far.

My ex-roommate did that, he would chew tobacco ...

... spit into an empty soda bottle and then leave it around the apartment. sometimes it was mixed with sunflower seeds and looked like some kind of ungodly stew. His previous roommate (a male) didn’t care. Needless to say, with a woman in the house he cleaned his act up quick.

by Melmart1 on Jul 28, 2008 7:06 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

that's nasty...

I think I’d rather kiss a smoker.. than someone who does that.. or better yet.. neither!!!

Yeah, my vote is neither

tobacco use is a BIG deal breaker for me.

No kidding ...

... I used to smoke but quit, and I can’t believe how foul I think it smells now. BTW, the ex-roomie and I didn’t kiss, purely platonic. Just like my current male roommate. Better to room with the clueless straight guy who lets me lay out the decor than a fellow woman who wants it her way, too. :)

This is really disgusting...

but I once knew a guy that would chew and spit his chaw juice into a cup and then would drink it. I didn’t believe it when someone told me he did that, then I saw him do it one day. Maybe one of the sickest things I’ve ever seen.

I was on an airplane once ...

... the guy next to me orders two beers. He chugs one and proceeds to use it as a spit can while he sips the other. There is no escaping the guy. Then he tries to have a conversation with me, and has that crap in his teeth. It was gross, but I almost yakked when he wasn’t paying attention and took a swig of the spit can instead of the beer. Sooo nasty.
