UGH. This article seems to imply that David Price will most likely start the season at Triple A. -- (link) - TFox Mar 11, 10:26 8

  - Yeah, but... but... - TFox Mar 11, 10:31
  - [deleted] 4
    - He'll be up soon enough with them...they want him on a set schedule getting his control honed. - Will Hunting Mar 11, 10:32 3
      - Being in the toughest division around, I don't see how they are well-served wasting innings from one of their best arms in Triple A. - TFox Mar 11, 10:35 2
        
        They won it last year without him. I'm thinking they know they can do it this year with him only 4-5months. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 10:39

- [deleted] 3
  - True, true -- nm - con_carne Mar 11, 10:31 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - and Great White, and all the Whites should be in the same initial bracket -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 10:33
- "Hair Metal" is kind of hard to categorize. Metallica? Megadeth? Manowar? Poison? - JaxSean Mar 11, 10:28 5
  - No. No. Not sure who that is. YES. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 11, 10:34
  - east check list...did they spend more time picking out hair spray and spandex that writing lyrics...Hair band - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 10:31 1
    - Lars still wears spandex. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 10:33
  - on the contrary, it's very easy to categorize - con_carne Mar 11, 10:30 1
    - I guess you could get a lot here: -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 11, 10:32

    - I didn't get any but yes...I felt your suck. - Mel Profit Mar 11, 10:30
- How in the hell do you make a list and leave off the eventual #1 Poison?!?! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 11, 10:27 5
  - that is the worst spelling of Scorpions I've ever seen -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 10:28 4
    - I think you misspelled Motley Crue. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 10:29 3
      - Nope: Aerosmith. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 10:33
      - I think you're wrong -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 10:30 1
        
        like normal, you're wrong, so therefore I am right. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 10:30

- Score one more for the Colonies! -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 11, 10:24
- I suppose if you called to complain, the phone would be answered by someone in India -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 11, 10:24 1

- You answered your own question on the inside. -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 10:19
- [deleted]
- It's not, but I guess for that reason it's also on the AFI lists. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 11, 10:18 6
  - Nothing about the AFI top movies list says they have to be American. -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 10:19 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - My point being that the AFI Top 100 lists aren't "The Top 100 American Films", they're just the top 100 films. -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 10:26 2
        
        Never mind. I'm incorrect. -- nm - Ender Mar 11, 10:28 1
        
        *bites tongue* -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 11, 10:35

  - No, it sure isn't. NASCAR is way better than some stupid opera. -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 09:55 5
    - Reading the wikipedia list of famous operas, it occurred to me that Operas were to the 1600s+ what films are today -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 09:57 3
