        She's 66 years old, for crying out loud. Are we really not allowed to look old when we're actually, ya know, old? -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 07:19 1

        [deleted] 2
        
        of course, it hinges greatly on why they are going into the profession in the first place. - znufrii Oct 28, 07:18 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        (though it's silly to argue they would be the primary beneficiaries) -- nm - znufrii Oct 28, 07:09
      - The intent is to help pay down student debt. The analysis you linked ignores the bulk of the debt to say the program won't do that. - TWuG Oct 28, 07:02

    - The Holliday thing was pathetic. I like Matt Holliday, but he is absolutely killing this team right now. - Jim Oct 28, 06:16 7
      - "Holliday, how's that hand? Let me see ... *smashes with a hammer* Yup, it's broken." -- nm - Tony LaRussa Oct 28, 06:25 2

        Especially when you figure in that fans can't separate the player from their salary. With what we're paying him... - Jim Oct 28, 06:22
      - word is Holliday is hurting anyway and might not play -- nm - Beaker Oct 28, 06:17 1

- [deleted]
- [deleted] 5
  - *shrugs* I liked the fact that he used it on the 20th anniversary of his dad making the same call for Puckett's HR. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 05:57 4
    - [deleted] 1
      - I agree that he's not as good as his dad. But I'd argue that no one is as good as his dad. Jack Buck, for me, is/was the best ever. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 06:04
    - Sporting News says it was 20 years and a day. The synchronicity they mention is interesting. -- nm - zork Oct 28, 06:03 1

    - This is what I'm saying. Fuck that stupid squirrel...I'm the determining factor here. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 06:17
- that's nothing. Not that we ever went to many games together, but every single time my dad and I went to any game (Blue Jays, Leafs, Argos, etc.), ... - zork Oct 28, 05:55
- I think you need to go one step further and smash all your TV's, Radios, Computers and any other device that could broadcast the game. - JenBro Oct 28, 05:41 1
  - No, I'm good. As long as the game isn't on, I'm ok. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 05:41
- You're locking yourself in the closet tonight, right? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 28, 05:39
- [deleted] 1
  - It's the worst dude...everytime I watch, something terrible happens for my team. As soon as I turn it off, the good comes. It's been like that - Jim Oct 28, 05:41
Does anyone else think Holliday was safe on that throw out? He was practically lying on the bag when tagged -- nm - Beaker Oct 28, 05:33 1
