Is

Saunders starting still? someone said last night his wife had the baby.

The funny thing about my back is that its located on my cock.

by iorange555 on Jul 8, 2008 6:02 PM CDT   0 recs

it was that his wife was due for a baby yesterday

and could have it any time, at which point he would leave.

looks like nothing happened.

2 games over 500 please.

Worst live act I've ever seen

Saw him at the end of last year, opening for the Police at River Plate Stadium. Admittedly, the crowd was pretty empty(scheduling fuckup I think, we showed up earlier than the start time and he was already halfway through his set), but he just did not give a shit, his sound engineer was awful, and I hated it.

I don’t mind the new album, though.

My favorite thing by him is the Gameboy Variations EP.

you catch that preview on the Hardline?

I could prolly thro up a d/l link for the album…

I would have also accepted “Tanqueray Rangpur and tonic.”

well, i guess they are using the all star break

and skipping one injury questionable start so they dont have to make as many moves over the next 2 days.

disappointing but probably better than sending down someone they dont really want to, like madrigal or something.

2 games over 500 please.

Davis is moving in the wrong direction in the lineup

although I know this time its because its a lefty.

2 games over 500 please.

by DSheppard on Jul 8, 2008 6:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Just think...

where this offense would be if we hadn’t gotten Hammy and Bradley this offseason… yuck

by erikj07 on Jul 8, 2008 6:33 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Front 4 OPS+
Kinsler 153
Young 104
Hamilton 142
Bradley 180

Back 5 OPS+
Byrd 86
Boggs 100
Salty 78
Davis 130
Duran 76

The disparity between the front half of the lineup and the back half is growing and it’s making me sad.

by philkid3 on Jul 8, 2008 6:39 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

we need cruz up

he might suck, but id rather see him than byrd 10x over.

by SaltyGoesYard on Jul 8, 2008 6:33 PM CDT   0 recs

there are only two possibilities.

and one of them would have a pregame show on if it were that one.

2 games over 500 please.

by DSheppard on Jul 8, 2008 6:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

It says its on KDFI

But im getting some bullshit seinfeld episode on mine.

Everyone doesn’t live in the DFW area. And what the fuck is your problem? You’ve been quite the asshole here lately.

by AirJordan on Jul 8, 2008 6:37 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

im pretty sure he wasnt asking what channel the game was on in NY

usually people include that kind of information.

and please, quote me saying some terrible things to people lately. im surprised the harmless post got that kind of reaction. it just seemed like an obvious question. its not like I called him an idiot.

im pretty sure your post is far more offensive than anything ive said to anyone in the past 2 weeks.

To Rodney an hour ago:

No, I made it up.

I enjoy making fake diaries.

Just very smartass to something that wasn’t even directed at you. The Bedard trade was reported on here a thousand times before it was official, doesn’t mean someone made a “fake diary.”

if so, I apologize for calling you an asshole. It just rubbed me the wrong way.
