        Probably about 10-11 WAR - Will Hunting Apr 9, 09:09
        
        No idea, I'm not a big MLB stats guy. Would be kinda cool to see him in the Top 5 in both MVP and CY voting though. Or pitch and hit in the AS Game. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 9, 09:06

        $50-$60 in winter because the building provides heat. Upwards of $150 in summer. - ty97 Apr 9, 08:18

        Right? But you'd be amazed. People at the park or at the grocery store who reach out to touch her hair or her cheek. Happens all the time. -- nm - volnelk Apr 9, 08:11 1
        
        i'm just gonna.. *snip*.. take a locket of that little angel's hair. -- nm - colin Apr 9, 08:12

        Speaking of, where's that bastard Halak? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 9, 08:26
