Canadian Politics Shocker: Per Ottawa folks on Twitter: a poll is about to be released showing the NDP ahead of the Liberals for second place. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 13:26 2
- If the poll gets any play at all, I can see a mass shift of voters from the Libs to the NDP, creating momentum. - Mop (209 lbs) Apr 21, 13:28 1
  - This actually strenghtens, not hurt Tory majority chances. The NDP may gain a few at Tory expence, but it also puts newly split vote seats into play. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 13:31

        Huh? -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 13:32 1
        
        whoops ... I'm confusing it with something else. never mind. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 13:34

- awesome shots. kids are so cool -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 13:04 3
  - Your swing shots are fun :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 13:05 2
    - it was his first time in the swing. my father built it for my nephew some years ago and Pinch loves it. -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 13:10 1
      - cool :) I wish we had a bit more of a yard at the townhouse (Current usable yard surface area: 0sqft) - Beryllium Apr 21, 13:11

So, I've already crowed about it on FB... and twitter... and on my site. But proof copy of "bite." is here. Novel comes out next Tuesday. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 12:43
Wow...Matt Stairs is still in the league??? -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 12:41 14
- Love that guy. Billy Beane swears that had he come up in a different era, he'd be HoF worthy. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 12:44 9
  - Even when Billy let him play, he wasn't HOF worthy - Will Hunting Apr 21, 12:48 7
    - IIRC, Stairs did not make the majors until he was almost 30? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 12:50 5
      - Yep, and then went about .280 with 30 HR's at the time everyone doing that was on roids - Will Hunting Apr 21, 12:52 4
        
        I'll say this, in interviews he's smooth as glass on it then. During his Jays years was when Roid stories were high and I never once got the sense... - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 12:55
        
        he was always a defensive liability, which is what cost him a lot of the time. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 12:54 2
        
        You hit .285 with 30 HR power, they'll find you a spot - Will Hunting Apr 21, 12:55 1

    - Keith Law tells the story, so I can't recall the metric that Beane compared and what changed too late. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 12:50

- It's like we're following the same game or something. - Kim Pine Apr 21, 12:43 3
  - Ok...since we're following the same game...do you end Lohse back out for the 9th? Or do you see if Boggs can close it again? -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 12:45 2
    - I let Lohse go back out. It's like he's hurrying to get to an appointment or something with the way he's pitching. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 21, 12:46 1
      - heh...I'm watching the GameTracker...so no video. I think I'd send him back out there too. -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 12:47

- I was just telling Kim yesterday that I think he's the best player in baseball after Pujols. -- nm - David Apr 21, 12:39 2
  - I'm sure it's because of where he plays...but I figure he'll be like Pujols and it'll take a couple more years before the rest of the baseball - Jim Apr 21, 12:42
  - his only fault is that he is not a good defensive player. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 12:42
CDC Predicts Smoking Bans In Every State By 2020 -- (link) - Strongbad Apr 21, 12:33 33
- At this point, I am just confused as to how big tobacco is still a billion dollar industry. -- nm - Jovian Apr 21, 12:40 3
  - inflation, besides there are still smokers, ever drive by an indian casino? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 21, 13:31
  - Overseas markets, I guess. -- nm - mara Apr 21, 12:48 1
    - exactly. -- nm - decline Apr 21, 12:49
- The only reason why I wouldn't ban smoking in bars is because those places seem like the place you do your dirty habits. Smokin' drinkin' gamblin' sex -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 12:34 24
  - But the people who work in the bars aren't there to flex their dirt muscles -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 12:46
  - I can't remeber the last time I was in a bar where people could smoke -- nm - decline Apr 21, 12:36 22
    - It's only banned in Anchorage bars up here. Now that I quit, I don't care, but I feel bad for the bars that spent thousands of dollars... - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 12:43
    - TexMex Connection in North Wales, PA -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 12:42

      - that hammered, huh? -- nm - TFox Apr 21, 12:40
      - You obviously aren't going to the right bars. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 12:39 2

      - And here I thought your watering hole was cool. - Qale Apr 21, 12:39
      - This I can remeber :) -- nm - decline Apr 21, 12:39 1
        
        why do I always miss that second 'm'? -- nm - decline Apr 21, 12:39
    - there are a couple of local bars down in FL that still allow it. It's bad for me because beer is so awesome with smokes. I can't help myself -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 12:38
    - I never went to bars because of the smoke (well hardly ever) now go often -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 21, 12:37
    - I don't mind it, but don't do it on the dance floor! -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 12:36 8
      - or the casinos. *hate* -- nm - Strongbad Apr 21, 12:37 7
        
        I've never been in a casino. I wonder how indian I have to be to go to one and claim part ownership. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 12:41 6
        
        I'm still holding out hope that one day they'll convert Underground Atlanta into a casino. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 21, 12:42 5
        
        And then I still would be afraid to go there. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 12:45 4
        
        dano took me there. can you *imagine*?? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 21, 12:46
        
        It would be safer and more fun. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 21, 12:46 2
        
        HAHAHA! You really believe that? Underground. Safe? Fun? -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 12:52 1
        
        Turn it into a Hard Rock Casino? Absolutely. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 21, 12:56

Considering Words With Friends is a Zynga game, I'm surpised they don't make you spam people to unlock extra bonus spaces and TileCash for more vowels -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 12:31 3
- This is a good point. I will count my blessings... - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 12:57

I will say that the NFL labor dispute has destroyed my ordinary interest in the draft. - David Apr 21, 12:29 10
- Heh. I just saw a mock draft from Feb 23. Guess who the #1 pick was? - Strongbad Apr 21, 12:30 1
  - This is how it works. People move away from what they know while no football is being played. - David Apr 21, 12:33
- I agree. Plus no interesting trades. Example from my team...would Elway move Orton on draft day if the deal was right? -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 12:30 7
  - Answering your question, to the best of my knowledge, players cannot be traded right now. So, it's not their call. -- nm - David Apr 21, 12:35 4
    - That's what I'm saying. Teams can only trade picks...so it makes the draft less interesting, I think. -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 12:36 3
      - I'll be curious to see how many GMs take my point of view... - David Apr 21, 12:38 2
        
        Well...there's been some talks from the broncos that Elway may deal with Shanahan. Since Washington's 1st and 2nd don't equal up to #2...they - Jim Apr 21, 12:41 1
        
        I find it hard to believe anybody would do that deal, even the Redskins. - David Apr 21, 12:59
  - Our card trading site has a pick the first round contest going right now...I'm gonna have to use McShay, Kiper and Co to even have enough names to - Jim Apr 21, 12:31 1
    - FWIW, I think the "trade into the bottom of the first round to get a QB" brigade is overstating it. - David Apr 21, 12:34
