- Not sure what you're saying here? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 15, 07:30
So...let me see if this makes sense. Maryland is playing in the MidWest bracket and it's first 2* games are in Spokane Washington? - Will Hunting Mar 15, 07:22 5
- It's obviously a vast conspiracy. -- nm - nubby Mar 15, 07:42 2
  - It seems like every season year, we play in either Boise or Spokane for the first weekend - Will Hunting Mar 15, 07:45 1
    - I agree 100% with this. I was never able to go to tournament games as a student since they were so far -- nm - MDH Mar 15, 07:56
- you mean spokane isn't in the midwest? - NCAA Mar 15, 07:42
- Can we please just give up the pretense of regions in these brackets at this point? It's just confusing. Is it really that hard to have the midwest - pmb Mar 15, 07:25

LYC: Lady Gaga has announced her summer arena tour. Tickets $50-175. I paid $25 in 2009. Wow. -- nm - MDH Mar 15, 06:22 4
- Didn't you see her at a club though, not an arena? -- nm - Shaun Mar 15, 06:26 3
  - Yep. I'm just amazed that in less than 12 months thats a 700% increase. - MDH Mar 15, 06:29 2
    - Those prices are fairly standard for arena shows. -- nm - Shaun Mar 15, 07:03
    - Well, in the last 12 months this has become Gaga's world...she's just letting you live in it. -- nm - Jim Mar 15, 06:39

Phillies discuss Ryan Howard for Albert Pujols deal? -- (link) - Don Homer Mar 15, 05:06 20
- They're thinking about talking about making an offer. What marvelous journalism. -- nm - David Mar 15, 07:12 10
  - Local media is, surprisingly, being pretty civil about this. I'm hearing a lot of, "I really respect Buster Olney, but..." comments. -- nm - Jim Mar 15, 07:33 5
    - This is a gambit by Amaro. I'm certain of that. - David Mar 15, 07:38 4
      - It's weird timing to me. We still have Albert locked up for the next 2 seasons. Why would we even consider trading him at this deadline? - Jim Mar 15, 07:42 3
        
        This is why its insane. They have the same contract length. Howard's is *more* money. - TFox Mar 15, 07:59 1
        
        It also gives the Phillies leverage in renegotiating with Howard. -- nm - David Mar 15, 08:03
        
        Johan went through the same thing. The difference is that the Cards are considered at worst the second best team in the NL at the start of the season. -- nm - David Mar 15, 07:50
  - it's like Bill Simmons doing a column on NBA trades only not serious -- nm - Beaker Mar 15, 07:16 3
    - "only serious" -- nm - Beaker Mar 15, 07:16 2
      - You had it right the first time. -- nm - David Mar 15, 07:19 1
        
        Yeah, someone's getting paid to make a truth and rumors blind item into a full story. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 15, 07:20
- Will never happen. -- nm - Jim Mar 15, 06:15
- imo, st.louis would be insane to even discuss such an idea. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 15, 05:17 7
  - "Let's trade Pujols for a less-talented, more-expensive 1B, just because he would be cheaper in free agency... when we could just sign him anyway." - TFox Mar 15, 06:04 3
    - You'd also get whatever the Phillies add in on top of him. - Will Hunting Mar 15, 06:39 2
      - Don't want it. -- nm - Jim Mar 15, 06:43 1
        
        Course not. But if it came down to he's gone for nothing or he's gone for something..... - Will Hunting Mar 15, 07:08
  - It's one of those "If everything goes wrong, what options does St Louis consider" type of things - Will Hunting Mar 15, 05:20 2
    - i agree. but this article isnt about the cardinals thinking about that deal, is about the phillies thinking about the cardinals thinking about it. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 15, 05:29 1
      - Which is why I'm stunned that it's an article becuase this is entirely the way these decisions are made - Will Hunting Mar 15, 05:40
Interesting idea. Anyone ever hear of something like this? (for the movie and Oscar buffs; a revisionist movie awards ceremony) -- (link) - psilotum Mar 14, 23:42 5
- Interesting that the screenplay nominations were the "most correct" 20 years ago. -- nm - Dano Mar 15, 07:14
- Interesting that their Best Picture 1989 nominees are so different than reality - Will Hunting Mar 15, 03:11 3
  - Other way around for me. I've seen Do The Right Thing, Cinema Paradiso, Crimes & Misdemeanours and When Harry Met Sally of the revisionist nominees - Roger More Mar 15, 06:36 2
    - I just don't think Harry Met Sally is Best Picture quality...it's a good movie, but I just don't see it. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 15, 06:40 1
      - Yeah, I agree. -- nm - Roger More Mar 15, 06:49
Speaking of movies below: I need to watch my Netflix movies instead of letting them sit. I got Cirque de Freak, have had it a week. -- nm - Qale Mar 14, 22:50 10
- I forget how long I've had "The Reader". Months. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 22:53 9
  - I've only got the 1 out at a time + Online so I shouldn't do months. I got some great stuff in my queue too I need to get to. - Qale Mar 14, 23:04 2
    - I have this plan and I just watching The Wire. I'm staying reasonably on top of it. Almost 1 disc per week. -- nm - psilotum Mar 14, 23:30 1
      - I mean truly if you just watch 2 videos total, either via DVD or online the plan is paid for. -- nm - Qale Mar 15, 01:05

      - But you watched it, right? - con_carne Mar 15, 00:52 2
        
        yes, i watched it -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 00:54 1
        
        I sent back Rashomon without watching it. - con_carne Mar 15, 01:07

- De Lancie is doing great work on Breaking Bad -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 22:11 3
  - is he a regular on that? -- nm - Remlik Mar 14, 22:16 2
    - he's new for the most reason season (and will probably be on next season for a bit) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 22:17 1
      - reason=recent. hrm. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 22:17
LYC: I saw five movies today -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 21:46 10
- it's like you don't know us or something. what did you see?? -- nm - b! Mar 14, 21:49 9
  - And since you asked, here's the six movies from Friday/Saturday - ty97 Mar 14, 21:59 4
    - thanks! -- nm - b! Mar 14, 22:02 3
      - yep, definitely some good ones. Anything in the B range is good, I'd say, as I'm a bit stingy with As - ty97 Mar 14, 22:03 2
        
        I don't recognize some of the titles. I need to check 'em out. -- nm - b! Mar 14, 22:07 1
        
        Fear not, it's not a film festival, so this stuff isn't out yet. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 22:40
  - David's Backyard Adventures 13-15, 17 and 21. Wow, I didn't expect that twist ending on the last one. -- nm - ty97 S.I. Mar 14, 21:55
  - See inside - ty97 Mar 14, 21:55 2

- work related? different shots for different countries? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 14, 21:27 3
  - one was tetanus only, after I fell on asphalt. The second was DPT for travel. (could not get the DP part alone) -- nm - loosilu Mar 14, 21:34 2
    - What does asphalt have to do with getting a tetanus shot? I mean, I know about the rusty nail thing. -- nm - con_carne Mar 15, 00:49 1
      - the tetanus bacteria llives in dirt. -- nm - loosilu Mar 15, 05:13
