I'm a day or so late but I think Hamels should have been given a 10 game suspension at the very least. - Romney si May 8, 08:59 12
- the fact that Harper didn't do anything other than be Bryce Harper is what makes it different to me. - Mel Profit May 8, 09:03
- I think it's silly we're punishing a guy for something we all know every pitcher in MLB does. - TFox May 8, 09:02 2
  - when did baseball turn into hockey? might as well put a glove on that douche Bertuzzi - JenBro May 8, 09:06
  - I'm not okay with it when it's done for no reason. When a pitcher retaliated for something I'm usually fine with it but this was different. - Krusty May 8, 09:05
- Well, I don't necessarily disagree, but doesn't he lose the pay for those games too. so that's something. -- nm - Don Homer May 8, 09:01
- I don't think Hamels should have gotten any suspension. It's just part of the game. -- nm - Romney SI (visiting Philadelphia) May 8, 09:01 4
  - Not part of the game when you go after someone for no reason. - Krusty May 8, 09:03 2

- I agree, and he will not even miss a start, they will just push him back a day. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:00
DC Area ST Parents: I got e-mailed the presale password for "How To Train Your Dragon Live" if anyone wants it? - MDH May 8, 08:58 1

    - but he has overseen the recouping -- nm - Beaker May 8, 08:52
  - Bail out another one! Bail out another!!! -- nm - Iron Spawn May 8, 08:50
- WooHoo!!! - Iron Spawn May 8, 08:49 2
  - Yeah, I just copied that from the article headline but it should probably have been "Federal govt" instead. -- nm - Don Homer May 8, 08:49 1
    - Uh... does ST know how to unsend an email? -- nm - Iron Spawn May 8, 08:50
- Maybachs for everyone!~ -- nm - TFox May 8, 08:48

Got to see the rapper Plan B rehearse a couple of songs just now. -- nm - LMS May 8, 08:31 3
- He's a rapper? I saw him on Top Gear but he was filming a movie and I just assumed he was an English actor. - Krusty May 8, 08:37 2
  - He's a bit of everything, just wrote and directed his first film, as well as being an actor, rapper and soul singer. - LMS May 8, 08:44 1
    - I learned something new today. Thanks. :-) I'll check him out and keep an eye out for his work if it gets here. - Krusty May 8, 08:50
Tony Lucca is the iTunes leader from The Voice finalists. -- nm - Dano May 8, 08:29 18
- Not so keen on his solo performance, but "Yesterday" should be #1 on iTunes today. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) May 8, 08:45

  - It'll come down to a popularity contest between Adam and Xtina. They both knew this last night and performed as such. Xtina was catty. Adam was suave. - Mop (199 lbs) May 8, 08:46
  - Haven't been watching but definitely rooting for my fellow Dodec Chris. -- nm - TFox May 8, 08:38
  - They're all so good I honestly don't have a strong opinion. I'm rooting for Juliet Simms, I'll predict Tony Lucca, and say Jermaine Paul should win. -- nm - Dano May 8, 08:35 4
    - They're also all pretty different too, which is nice. There's some overlap, but a lot of variety among the four. -- nm - Dano May 8, 08:38 3
      - Hell, I think they could make money on about 8 out of this season - Will Hunting May 8, 08:40 2

  - Not Tony Lucca. -- nm - Xtina May 8, 08:32 1
    - God, what a bitch Xtina was. She clearly had no love for her former co-star. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) May 8, 08:45

    - His album did not do well apparently; he was apparently outsold by another one. - Will Hunting May 8, 08:37
What a project to find an AMC theater that isn't showing Avengers in 3D. - Krusty May 8, 08:26 16
- 2D screenings here were sold out, but my local theatre decided to put the 2D screenings in the smaller screens so no wonder. -- nm - LMS May 8, 08:49
- yeah, the one near me had it on 3 3d screens, and one 4k non 3d screen. -- nm - tRuMaN (sarcastically stoic) May 8, 08:37 8
  - There are theaters with no regular version and only 3D. I can't wait for this thing to die. You people need to stop seeing movies in 3D to speed - Krusty May 8, 08:39 7
    - yeah, i hate converted 3d stuff, it gives me headaches - tRuMaN (sarcastically stoic) May 8, 08:43 2

        And *this* is why you will fall to Obama. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 8, 08:57
    - Dude. I held out. This is the first 3D I have seen in a year or so! -- nm - Iron Spawn May 8, 08:41 3
      - I saw one, didn't like it. All reports are it's not really a 3D movie and not worth the extra cash. - Krusty May 8, 08:43 2
        
        What matters is that you see the movie :) -- nm - con_carne May 8, 08:52
        
        The first IMAX screen I saw it on in Chicago, I agreed. Saw it on our bigger/nicer IMAX this weekend and it looked really good. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 8, 08:45

    - the new commercials for it showing why it is called what it is make me want to punch someone in the face -- nm - Beaker May 8, 08:25
    - I was kinda hoping for that other Rihanna movie. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 08:25 2
      - watch her music videos, same diff -- nm - Beaker May 8, 08:25 1
        
        no, not quite. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 08:27

How do you know you didn't get enough sleep the night before? You get into your car, key in the ignition, foot on the brake, turn the key and the car - Stephen May 8, 08:02 4
- Not sleep related, but I used to have a few seconds of embarrassment while trying to start a client's car for the time. The new key fobs are all - CrankYanker May 8, 08:23 2
  - Last time I had to get a rental when my car was in the shop they gave me a hybrid. Had left the garage remote in the Jeep so had - MojaveMeg May 8, 08:27

So I called the pediatrician's office bright and early this morning - after 10 minutes on hold, I decided to try back later. I did get through and got - kelly May 8, 08:01 13
- Wow. I would be looking for a new doctor. I think the *only* time I have ever been put on hold was when I wanted to talk to our Doc, himself.. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 8, 08:20 7
  - Only 2 pediatric groups in the town; and the other doesn't take our insurance. - Will Hunting May 8, 08:35 6
    - I can't believe you only have two. We're a bit bigger, but we have seemingly dozens of places to choose. -- nm - Don Homer May 8, 08:41 2
      - Also - there seems to be a shortage of doctors in general around here. I had to wait 6 months for my first appt with my endocrinologist - in a city - kelly May 8, 08:53
      - There are a few independent pediatricians here, not part of a practice, but I like a lot of what this specific practice offers. - kelly May 8, 08:47
    - Only two? Wow. How big is your town? - Iron Spawn May 8, 08:37 2
      - 60k people. -- nm - Will Hunting May 8, 08:38 1
        
        Hmm. That sounds like not enough peeds. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 8, 08:46
- I bet any STer can show up to their office and have the software figured out in two minutes -- nm - con_carne May 8, 08:05 1
  - like I want to know what they're using, call them and fix it. - Mel Profit May 8, 08:08
- Ok, that is stupid... - Mel Profit May 8, 08:04 2
  - were talking about doctors here. of course its a mo-mo -- nm - tRuMaN (sarcastically stoic) May 8, 08:08 1

- Yoyos, with logos. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 08:05 4
  - the YoYo Logo idea could work ... the club is mostly guys and our officer exchange night is happening at a large barn one of them owns where there is - JenBro May 8, 08:16 1
    - cool! one of my old employers gave away yoyos one year to employees. I still have mine. -- nm - loosilu May 8, 08:18
