  - Don't think Bonds is active. (nm) - musubi Aug 18, 17:23 1
    - yeah.. it was just the best i could think of hehe -- nm - GWAA Aug 18, 17:23
- Pat Burrell -- nm - GWAA Aug 18, 17:21
- Pat Burrell and... um...damn, I'm not up on my Mets killers. -- nm - Tim Aug 18, 17:21
- Pat Burrell. (nm) - musubi Aug 18, 17:21 2
  - Abreau maybe? (nm) - musubi Aug 18, 17:22 1
    - Oh frak, I just realized who it is. Weird. (nm) - musubi Aug 18, 17:27
This article would make sense if there wasn't an NFL. -- (link) - TFox Aug 18, 17:17 2
- What do you think is wrong with the NFL draft? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 18, 17:28

- Speaking of trades, Aubrey Huff was replaced on the O's roster by Michael Aubrey. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 18, 17:18 1
  - Hooray for fun names. In bad name news, the Mets didn't sign draftee Damien Magnifico yesterday. :( (nm) - musubi Aug 18, 17:19

    - Kotchman/Laroche was another, like David mentions above. But yeah, they're rare. -- nm - TFox Aug 18, 17:14 1
      - Ah, okay, it occured to me how odd it was when failing to properly format tonight's lineup against Opening Day's. -- nm - Tim Aug 18, 17:17
[deleted] 7
- hilarious, but it feels so stagey. -- nm - TFox Aug 18, 17:10 4
  - agreed -- nm - Guy Aug 18, 17:19
  - how do two doors break that easy? -- nm - the liioulu with fresh baked cookies Aug 18, 17:14 2
    - why would he stop just far enough out to not activate the door, if he didn't understand? - TFox Aug 18, 17:16 1
      - That too. - the liioulu with fresh baked cookies Aug 18, 17:17

  - At the time I would have put Northern Exposure at the top of the list. It's not so much dated as...fixed. -- nm - Max Aug 18, 17:09
- The British version of The Office, I hope. And the Armenian version of Dukes of Hazzard. nm - Dignan Aug 18, 17:07 1
  - now do your list, big talker. -- nm - Max Aug 18, 17:17
- The Dukes of Hazzard? -- nm - the liioulu with fresh baked cookies Aug 18, 17:02 6
  - they were *jumping cars* and *blowing stuff up* and *not getting caught* -- nm - Max Aug 18, 17:08
  - Easily. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 17:05 4
    - ... But Psych? -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 17:07 3
      - Have never been able to watch Dukes. I like Psych, but consider it lightweight. - the liioulu with fresh baked cookies Aug 18, 17:08
      - easily -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 17:07
      - it and 30 Rock are constantly shuffling for the funniest tv ever, in part because of my love of all things 80s. -- nm - Max Aug 18, 17:07

  - ESPN has started posting average OPS. I think it's like .740 overall but it's about .780 for and .800 for 1B. -- nm - David, Nailin' It Aug 18, 17:07 3
    - The Mets starting 1B is OPS-ing .688. Hooray! - musubi Aug 18, 17:09 2
      - You make it sound vaguely menstrual, which is probably fitting. -- nm - David, Nailin' It Aug 18, 17:10 1
        
        [deleted]
  - Pretty much. Those last 6 are *really* bad though. (nm) - musubi Aug 18, 16:55 9
    - On-base % for the last 6: .314, .296, .306, .293, .320, .286 - musubi Aug 18, 16:58 8

        Even Citi Field could not keep him down! -- nm - Tim Aug 18, 17:15 1

- Don't remember the name. - the liioulu with fresh baked cookies Aug 18, 15:54 7
