  - Too defensive for my liking. - Stephen Jun 4, 12:57 1
    - i'm sorry that is happening to you. but... shouldn't your dad be dealing with it? considering he took the risk of mixing himself up with - kare Jun 4, 12:59
ugh. i drove right by this girl's body a couple times this weekend. what i don't get: how can anyone *ever* do the hit and run thing? -- (link) - kare Jun 4, 12:47 11
- I'm not sure they are thinking -- nm - con_carne Jun 4, 12:50 5
  - i just can't comprehend it. okay, so you're drunk when it happens? you're in deep shit regardless. you're in deeper shit if you run. -- nm - kare Jun 4, 12:51 4
    - If they're *really* drunk, there's no accounting for how they'd react. - TFox Jun 4, 12:53 1

- really? as in, "oh, hey look, a body?" how long was she there? -- nm - TFox Jun 4, 12:48 4
  - I can't imagine kare would see a body and not stop and call it in :) -- nm - Stephen Jun 4, 12:57
  - no, i didn't see it! it was there all day sunday apparently. out of view from drivers for the most part -- nm - kare Jun 4, 12:49 2

So, that Freecycle site - I haven't checked it out yet, I will when I get home from work - can you put *anything* up there? - kelly Jun 4, 12:39 12
- Anything. The only rule is that it's free. We had someone come to the house to pick up like 2 vaccuum bags when we got a bagless. - Jim Jun 4, 12:52
- My serious answer is: I wouldn't list something like that, on the off-chance it ends up with some crazy scam artist... - TFox Jun 4, 12:50 4
  - The vet suggested I call the dog food company and complain that my dog won't eat it - maybe they'll ship me a new bag. - kelly Jun 4, 12:54 3

      - He's on meds for the yeast infections on his skin, but he has inhaled every other thing he's eaten (including samples of other dry food I had). - kelly Jun 4, 12:57 1
        
        in my experience when appetite issues start it starts with the dry food they've had for awhile - kare Jun 4, 13:01
- sure. someone will take it, i'm sure. -- nm - kare Jun 4, 12:48 1
  - also, some shelters may take it. the one i volunteered at only wanted unopened bags but i got them to take an opened one from me (trusted source and - kare Jun 4, 12:50
- Y'all suck. *laughing* -- nm - kelly Jun 4, 12:43

    - Or, to rephrase, "You shouldn't have to take it in the ass to take it in the ass." -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 12:32
    - well sure there is that. But it makes it much easier to live with when you see people's medial bills from down in the US -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 12:31 2
      - Agreed but to call it free is false. It's not. -- nm - lileve Jun 4, 12:49 1
        
        We talk about public schools as free. Or parks as free. That's the same 'free' being used here. - ty97 Jun 4, 12:50

FWIW, a few weeks ago Joe Posnanski had a great blog post about 300 game winners. - musubi Jun 4, 11:56 12
- PS- he points to Halladay and, of all people, Mark Buerhle, as possibilities. (nm) - musubi Jun 4, 11:58 11
  - Buehrle can probably pitch til he is 40. So that is probably where it gets close. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 12:01 10
    - That's exactly the reasoning. He's not a power pitcher, so breakdown is less likely, he keeps pitch counts relatively low. - musubi Jun 4, 12:04 9
      - That's why Vazquez is in the discussion. He goes 7 innings no matter what. -- nm - David Jun 4, 12:15 8
        
        He's also been ridiculously unlucky. - musubi Jun 4, 12:20 2
        
        as good as he has been this year. He is 4-4. - groiny Jun 4, 12:22 1
        
        Johan Santana won only 16 while being arguably the best pitcher in the league. A lot of it is luck. - musubi Jun 4, 12:29
        
        wait, Javy????? - groiny Jun 4, 12:16 4
        
        Did you look at the list? He's tied for 17th in wins at 32 and has a rubber arm. -- nm - David Jun 4, 12:17 3
        
        yes, but he is barely a .500 pitcher in his career, and has not come close to 20 a season. - groiny Jun 4, 12:19 2
        
        He's been incredibly unlucky to get those records though. - musubi Jun 4, 12:22 1
        
        I say this as someone who loved watching him pitch. - groiny Jun 4, 12:23
JaxSean : Mute Math, TFox : 311? - JaxSean Jun 4, 11:56 7

- He needs to average (average!) 20 wins a year for the next 8 years. - Subversive Jun 4, 12:02 6
  - We're in a day and age where rubber-armed guys can last up until 43-45. - David Jun 4, 12:04 5
    - and he should be able to pitch for someone, even as a middle reliever. - groiny Jun 4, 12:15 2
