Is it stupid that fighting doesn't really bother me in an NHL game, but bugs the shit out of me in an Olympic medal game? -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 13:22 3
- I think there's absolutely zero place for it in the olympics. It's sort of ok in the NHL, but needs to be toned down a bit -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 28, 13:26 2

LYC: Reading about the Chile quake in 1960, I was amazed to learn... - OAE Feb 28, 11:57 1
- I heard that. Considering one of even a few seconds feels like forever when you're holding on to the furniture :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 28, 12:03
LIR: M.Meg -- Portland is infinitely more walkable for a larger area... - OAE Feb 28, 11:54 12
- I disagree with your last statement. I think both cities are great, but seattle's covers more of the city. - miss amanda jones Feb 28, 12:24 2
  - I used to and that was awhile ago. I got around with no problem. There's moe coverage now. - the liiouul with mixed up letters Feb 28, 13:39 1
    - Uhm...that subject line ws about the Seattle bus system. -- nm - the liiouulu withj mixed up letters Feb 28, 13:48
- That makes sense. Also I'll be traveling up by train and a friend said I should count on them arriving on time(?) I need to allow time for delays to - MojaveMeg Feb 28, 12:01 8
  - Make that *shouldn't count on.* Seems like passenger trains get low priority on the tracks. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 28, 12:02 7
    - I can vouch for the lack of being on time going north. -- nm - the liiouulu withj mixed up letters Feb 28, 13:43
    - My Uncle is the big wig at Amtrack Portland. I can find out some tips -- nm - Redmond, Canadian Hockey Fan Feb 28, 12:07 5
      - If I'm stopping over in PDX can I check my big bag all the way through from LA to SEA? Or do I have to claim it and re-check it? -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 28, 12:11 4
        
        Wouldn't you want it? -- nm - Redmond, Canadian Hockey Fan Feb 28, 12:13 3
        
        I figure I can fit enough in a carry-on for 2 days. The big bag will have my fancy duds for the cruise. - MojaveMeg Feb 28, 12:20 2
        
        will you be in seattle long enough for a dinner/meet up? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 28, 12:47 1
        
        At least one night on the way up and maybe another coming back. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 28, 12:51
is NBC still tape-delaying the hockey game by 1 hour? -- nm - flavorize Feb 28, 11:52 1
- It's supposed to be live across all time-zones. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 28, 11:54
John Smoltz has emphatically denied a report that he plans to run for Congress. - David Feb 28, 11:47
Our power was out due to a lighting strike since 8:30 last night. Test. -- nm - con_carne Feb 28, 11:35
The under on that 71 for KC seems a safe bet. - musubi Feb 28, 11:17 21
- The Angels: Over St. Louis: Over (Easily). -- nm - flavorize Feb 28, 11:22 20
  - Yeah, I'm think the Angels lost ground to SEA and TEX, but 13 games? - musubi Feb 28, 11:26 19
    - They're going to lose them all to the Natinals. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 28, 11:34 4
      - I'm fascinated by the contrast in the way Washington is playing down his expectations while the Braves have openly anointed Heyward. -- nm - David Feb 28, 11:35 3
        
        Except for the Nolan Ryan comparison. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 28, 11:41
        
        Well Heyward has proven himself at multiple levels of the minors. - musubi Feb 28, 11:39 1
        
        I agree but I still cringe when Bobby compares him to Hank Aaron. - David Feb 28, 11:45
    - People are huge on Seattle's bandwagon due to their defense. What I notice is that their offense is little league-ish. -- nm - David Feb 28, 11:33 12
      - It isn't worse than last year. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 28, 11:38 4
        
        Their only power bat last year, Branyan is gone as is Beltre. - David Feb 28, 11:44 1
        
        Branyan only had 6 more HRs than Jose Lopez. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 28, 11:56
        
        The odds makers are seeiing the loss of their biggest (only?) power threat. - musubi Feb 28, 11:41 1
        
        Keeping him might have done the same thing. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 28, 11:47
      - That's pretty fair, last year they scored the least Runs in the AL. Bradley, ugh! But, I think Figgins a nice addition -- nm - flavorize Feb 28, 11:37
      - They have a very nice pitching staff this season -- nm - Redmond, Canadian Hockey Fan Feb 28, 11:34 5
        
        They do but Crash is their second best hitter after Ichiro. -- nm - David Feb 28, 11:35 4
        
        To be fair, if healthy/not crazy, Milton Bradley is a quality bat. (nm) - musubi Feb 28, 11:38 3
        
        If he can get 500 ABs, he could probably hit 20 HR. But, he has no wheels and he has no heart. Better off with a hungry rookie -- nm - flavorize Feb 28, 11:46
        
        When was the last time he was healthy/not crazy? - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 28, 11:42 1
        
        Well, he was healthy/not crazy *enough* in 2008. - musubi Feb 28, 11:44
    - Yeah. See, when a # like that gets put up I think, "They must know something that I don't." Scary low # for the Angels. I don't like that - flavorize Feb 28, 11:28
I take the over on that Boston number all *day*. -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 11:08 2
- I think with a lot of teams, it's just betting against injuries. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 28, 11:17
- On 94? That's a pretty high number. I think that # is scary close. With a +/- of 2. -- nm - flavorize Feb 28, 11:14
do you think this dish will turn out decently if I put it on high for 4-5 hours? -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 28, 11:05 3
- If it's for tonight, and this is your first attempt, I recommend... - OAE Feb 28, 11:51
- Depends - do you prefer your meat tough and chewy? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 28, 11:26
- the meat will be way less tender. -- nm - miss amanda jones Feb 28, 11:20
I love on 16 and pregnant how the 16 year old mom gets up early enough to do her hair. for what, nikkole? -- nm - miss amanda jones Feb 28, 11:00 3
- Eh, I could see wanting to look nice "just because" -- nm - Dano Feb 28, 11:02 2
  - what mother of a five-week old doesn't look like crap? it's so cute how vain she is. -- nm - miss amanda jones Feb 28, 11:04
  - this is probably the same reason they got pregnant. "just because" -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 11:02
Canada 5 - USA 2 (One Canada empty netter) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 28, 10:49 7

- US 752, Canada -8. -- nm - David Feb 28, 11:27 1
  - I also think that in a rare hockey feat, we devour their hearts after the match. -- nm - David Feb 28, 11:33
- USA 4 Canada 3 -- nm - flavorize Feb 28, 10:59 1
  - Stastny shoots the game winner -- nm - flavorize Feb 28, 11:10

maj, i'm not seeing it on its site, but maybe you know, is Popcorn Hour iTunes compatible? -- nm - Stephen Feb 28, 10:47 1
- I don't think it is. it'll play any media file you throw at it, but not via the itunes interface. oh, or is the issue DRM? - miss amanda jones Feb 28, 10:56

- I also like the overs on Seattle and Baltimore. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 28, 11:11 1
  - White Sox: Under San Fran: Over L.A. Over (barely) -- nm - flavorize Feb 28, 11:12
- And I would definitely take the under on 71 wins for the Pirates - Brian Feb 28, 10:57 3
  - Yep. There are going to be, 4-5 under 70 win teams. Odds makers have 71 as the lowest. Pirates qualify to be one of those teams -- nm - Flavorize Feb 28, 11:17
  - I would not do that. But that is me. - TFox Feb 28, 11:12 1
    - Yeah, of the 4 teams they say are 71 wins, I think PIT is the most likely to go over. - musubi Feb 28, 11:18

  - Enh. Maybe. -- nm - nubby Feb 28, 10:39 2

LIR - psi, I look forward to seeing you in Seattle. The trip is in the very early planning stages right now. In a few months I'll be driving you'all - MojaveMeg Feb 28, 10:21
LIR - thanks for the netbook advice. This unit is really a 'want' not 'need.' Mainly to be used for web access while I'm traveling, minimal - MojaveMeg Feb 28, 10:19 1
