- whoa, Carol Burnett is still alive? and still acting? -- nm - Max Aug 17, 10:56 1
  - She made some great statements on Harvey Korman when he died last year -- nm - con_carne Aug 17, 11:00
- spoilers - ty97 Aug 17, 10:37
- spoils - Callisto Aug 17, 10:28 4
  - Yeah, these are the four. I wonder if Post Grad is going to make less than Bandslam. -- nm - Danoslam Aug 17, 10:30 1
    - And then one of the producers is going to bitch to The Finke about its performance? -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:47

Earl Weaver SI article from July's Where Are They Now issue (cause he is a fave of mine) -- (link) - Beaker Aug 17, 10:11
Let's say both the #1 & #2 picks don't sign by midnight tonight; both the Nats & the #2 picking team get that pick +1 next season as compensation. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 10:06 9
- Yes but the one thing to keep in mind is that they cannot re-draft Strasburg if they don't sign him this year. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:50
- If Strasburg doesn't sign, he's an idiot. The risk of injury is far too high, IMO. - Subversive Aug 17, 10:32 1
  - I agree. It's just too big a gamble. - musubi Aug 17, 10:40
- AFAIK, yeah, that's possible. (nm) - musubi Aug 17, 10:11 5
  - My brain hurts to consider that the Mariners could conceivably earn Strasburg by not signing Ackley tonight. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 10:13 4
    - could they redraft him? I might do it out of spite. -- nm - mafic Aug 17, 10:15 2
      - Nope, you need tto have the kid sign off on any re-draft in this scenario. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 17, 10:17
      - My understanding is that they are prohibited from drafting the same player with the compernsatory pick. Their "new" pick however..... - musubi Aug 17, 10:17
    - Don't be too quick to assume the Nats get the #1 pick. The Royals are making a move for it. - musubi Aug 17, 10:15
[deleted] 2
- so much awesome there. -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 10:15
- I read about this last week, Burnett stayed until the very end, tossing the ball around with every kid that wanted to play. - Krusty Aug 17, 10:06
I'm sure that David has already seen this quote from the AJC, but for other Frenchy-lovers: - musubi Aug 17, 10:03 10
- I wonder if Frenchy understands that to score runs, you typically have to be on base? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 17, 10:07 5
  - If being on base percentage is so important, why don't they put that on the scoreboard? (nm) - Jeffy F Aug 17, 10:09 4
    - I swear to God someone posted that very quote once as proof that he's maturing as a hitter. - David Aug 17, 10:49 2
      - Proof of what now? - musubi Aug 17, 10:54 1
        
        He posted the entire paragraph, which had other stuff that sounded better before it ended with that. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:56
    - Errr, -"being" (nm) - musubi Aug 17, 10:12
- I hear Manuel is big on this new-fangled strategy called the "Hit-And-Run". -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 10:05 3
  - My favorite bit of his is insinuation that Ryan Church wasn't tough enough during the Mets mishandling of Church's concussion last year. - musubi Aug 17, 10:08 2
    - Semi-related, I'm in love with Church's plate discipline. It's a complete reversal of fortune from Frenchy. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:48 1
      - I never loved his bat (it's decent, but really just ok), but I *loved* his pre-concussion defense. Loved. - musubi Aug 17, 10:56
LYC: Google Reader has started crashing my FF. This is making me sad. -- nm - con_carne Aug 17, 10:00 3
- It should stop doing that. I don't think that's a very useful feature. -- nm - Mop (238 lbs) Aug 17, 10:09
- That's odd. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 10:09
- That's not a flaw, that's by design! -- nm - Google Aug 17, 10:01
First day back at work since the 4th...and I overslept by an hour!! I think I should do that more often :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 17, 09:59 1

- I'd practice bowling left-handed on any frames they're not there. - musubi Aug 17, 10:13
- fine as long as they don't mind me taking all their turns. -- nm - mafic Aug 17, 10:05
- Not acceptable -- nm - MDH Aug 17, 10:04
- not acceptable -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 17, 10:03
- Not acceptable, they could wait until the game is over. -- nm - Krusty Aug 17, 10:02
- Maybe between games, otherwise I say skip 'em. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 17, 10:00
- 3 person game should take at most 45 minutes.... if you can't go 45minutes without smoking........ -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 17, 09:59
- totally unacceptable. -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 09:58
- Doesn't matter to me ... if they want to bowl a 0, that's fine with me. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:58
- "Skip Bowler" - znufrii Aug 17, 09:58
LYC/Dawson legal question: I now hate Katharine Jackson, she's almost as money grubbing as Joe - MDH Aug 17, 09:57 6
- [deleted] 5
  - and I believe she is alleging fraud (which I do not doubt) -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 09:59 4
    - What fraud do you not doubt? -- nm - MDH Aug 17, 10:04 1
      - just the fact that Jackson's estates trustees are probably lining their pockets (he was fleeced in life, why not in death too) -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 10:06
    - [deleted] 1
      - Michael Jackson's mom -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 10:00

- nice -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:58 1
  - It is nice though the OCD trait in me is going to have a problem with a smeared screen. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 17, 10:14
*gives in to ST's grades, decides to go to District 9 tonight* - Beaker Aug 17, 09:52 6
- /me prepares to welcome Bery to the party -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 10:20 3
  - what? Huh? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 10:21 2
    - Bery should be highly insulted! -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 10:26 1
      - I know! I saw District 9 on *saturday*, and I virtually never go out to see openers. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 10:29
- Do it! -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 09:52 1
  - plus with out the wife and kids I get to have my long awaited showdown over their GC's that expired.. -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 10:03
