    - Not everyone is mature enough to take such a phrase the right way -- nm - con_carne May 28, 16:19 2
      - Cop out. According to many discussions on the boards anything else just leading someone on. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:24 1
        
        Bleh, women are pretty savy. If you don't ask them out again they figure it out. No leading on unless you are really leading them on. - Redmond? May 28, 16:25

        It starts at 10am. That has to be the earliest I've ever been on a date. -- nm - Qale May 28, 15:56 8
        
        That's when dates should end -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:01 4
        
        Only if there is no bacon. -- nm - Qale May 28, 16:03 3
        
        No, they get breakfast at 8 then I kick em out the door around 10am. A quickie buys them another 30 minutes. - Redmond? May 28, 16:05 2

Bastards! I just went to Bravo to check out the chefs on Top Chef Masters. Tom & Padma are nowhere to be found on the bio pages for the hosts & judges -- nm - peglegpete May 28, 15:24 4
- They're competing! :) -- nm - nubby May 28, 15:27 3
  - no. they are also not listed as contestants -- nm - peglegpete May 28, 15:50
  - She's a cook? -- nm - lileve May 28, 15:37
  - Oh shi---!!! -- nm - Qale May 28, 15:31
Sorry people, but I think hyde is right. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 15:13 37
- I'd still take Pedro for sheer dominance, but the extra innings that Gibson could go is a good argument. - musubi May 28, 15:54 4
  - Oh, Armando could be great, but he could also blow a game. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 16:10 3
    - 13 CG's in a season means he musta been pretty good at finishing great games, huh? - Will Hunting May 28, 16:12 2
      - That was before his best season. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 16:18 1
        
        It's not like Gibson finished every game he pitched. You don't know going in whether *either* was going to go the distance. - musubi May 28, 16:24
- Satchel Paige or Rick Reuschel - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 15:48 16
  - And... - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 15:50
  - Reuschel also wasn't very good. - Will Hunting May 28, 15:49 14
    - Phhppttt. Fate of the Universe? Of course he was. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 15:53 13
      - I dunno...i like guys in the discussion of best big game pitchers to have won something - Will Hunting May 28, 16:02 7
        
        He had 20 game years with the Cubs. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:08 2
        
        Never mind. You're being a homer here. - Will Hunting May 28, 16:10 1
        
        But you missed my premise - the fate of the Universe would depend on the Cubs winning. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:13
        
        Like 7 WS games? - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 16:07 3
        
        Gibson ain't a bad choice, I think Pedro in 99/00 is a better choice. - Will Hunting May 28, 16:09 2
        
        You're wrong about the IM. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 16:12 1
        
        You guys don't know what you're talking about. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:22
      - Harry Carey sees you post about the Cubs players and says, "That guy is too much of a homer." (nm) - musubi May 28, 15:56 4
        
        harry caray was a Cardinals and White Sox announcer who couldn't remember the names of most of the Cubs. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:02 3
        
        Harry Caray is about synonymous with the Cubs as Wrigley Field is. -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 16:03 2
        
        Not really, try Jack Brickhouse. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:18 1
        
        Or Ernie Banks -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:19

  - That's one way that ERA+ is helpful. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 15:40 4
    - Take out that 1.12 (when the league was 2.99) and his next best # is 164. - Will Hunting May 28, 15:43 3
      - That 164 was the year after the outlier year. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 16:01 2
        
        Yeah, let's see....274 / 291 or 258 / 164. I'm taking the guy who was nearly 1/3rd the league ERA two years running. -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 16:06
        
        If anything important rides on it, i'm taking the guy who was best. - Will Hunting May 28, 16:04
  - [deleted]
- I still think Satchel Paige was the best choice :) -- nm - peglegpete May 28, 15:16 7
  - I can't argue on his behalf for a few reasons. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 15:50 6
    - MLBB was just as segregated as the Negro leagues. Satchel was in his late 40's when he joined the Indians. - peglegpete May 28, 15:54 5
      - Well, they weren't as segregated when Gibson was piching. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 16:03 4
        
        i'd still be extremely happy with Satchel in his prime, and I would not need the other 8 players :) -- nm - peglegpete May 28, 16:05 3
        
        In that case, it's Randy Johnson in a heartbeat. - Will Hunting May 28, 16:08 2
        
        Not if the opposing team is the O's. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 16:14 1
        
        I know; that was always the oddest thing. -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 16:14

If you pre-order CD/DVDs from Amazon with free shipping, do they generally arrive on release day? Or extremely not? -- nm - TFox May 28, 14:36 1
