- Oh and the other amusing fact provided by Howie Rose is that this is the 4th 1 hitter in Mets history where the opposing pitcher got the only hit. - Tim Aug 13, 18:48 4
  - Honest question: who do you currently feel more confident in RA or Johan? - musubi, adorable Aug 13, 18:52 3
    - I love that Johan can still bust out something like he did yesterday but Dickey is my Game 1 starter if we were a playoff team. -- nm - Tim Aug 13, 18:53 2
      - Never in a million years would I think this would be the case, but Dickey is my #1 too. - musubi, adorable Aug 13, 18:58 1

    - the thing with consumer goods is that they are robotically built and not made to be repaired, even pro level gear they replace 'modules' like - zeitgeist Aug 13, 18:41 1
      - yep, so true. built to be thrown away, not repaired. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 18:45
  - Maybe then he will learn and stop sticking it down his pants. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 18:32
  - I suspect this is true. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 18:32

  - "word" -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 13, 18:32
  - Don't think it wasn't noticed. Rare is the situation where me, you and Spawn all agree on something. - Jim Aug 13, 18:18 7
    - How many times does the community have to come to your defense - eag Aug 13, 18:45 4
      - well, in this case it was a no brainer. What happened was flat out wrong. I don't care who is involved. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 18:46 3
        
        I was being sarcastic - eag Aug 13, 18:47 2
        
        I know, but I wanted to reiterate how upset I was. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 18:48 1
        
        I was more like - eag Aug 13, 18:50
    - I haven't seen this group agree on something like that since HSX went orange. - Will Hunting Aug 13, 18:31
    - very much so. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 18:19
- huh. i figured he meant loyola. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 18:15 22
  - I have no idea what he's talking about. But I did dig how it's a sensitive topic for HIM. nm - Jim Aug 13, 18:17 21
    - hmmm... - kelly Aug 13, 18:29 11
      - I think everyone should leave Redmond alone w/r/t this topic. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 18:34 2

        pssst - kelly Aug 13, 18:36
      - Appropriate that he is the most offended by 'lia insulting Jim? -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 18:30 7
        
        I didn't see him claim to be the most offended. Regardless, can we try to avoid unnecessary collateral damage here? - ty97 Aug 13, 18:37 2
        
        This. (nm) - musubi, adorable Aug 13, 19:01
        
        hear hear. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 18:38
        
        I don't know his relationship with lia, but he was the last one she defriended -- nm - amoxy Aug 13, 18:35 1
        
        He is an innocent bystander. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 18:39
        
        the im. to the im. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 18:32 1
        
        Ah. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 18:33
    - Yeah, if you're having regrets about that ....take off the skirt and put your big boy pants on. - Will Hunting Aug 13, 18:26
    - I thought your blowup was totally understandable and I'm sure just about everyone agrees. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 18:20
    - i disagree. i thought your blow up was tremendous, and i applaud you for it. - TFox Aug 13, 18:20 4
      - I haven't been that mad in a long time. -- nm - Jim Aug 13, 18:20 3

      - wow, I wish they'd given me that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 18:33 8
        
        I think there may be otc versions. - b! Aug 13, 19:48 3
        
        really? I'll check tomorrow. - loosilu Aug 13, 19:52 2

        no all night walgreens a few blocks away? :) -- nm - peglegpete Aug 13, 19:58

WWE Diva Tiffany arrested for assault against her husband WWE Star Drew McIntyre..... - Remlik Aug 13, 17:58 1
- I thought I had read somewhere that Drew McIntyre's backstage nickname was Avatar. - Tim Aug 13, 18:40
re: Redmonds picky eaters link on b2. I have long thought this was absolutely true. - loosilu Aug 13, 17:47 [Backboard] 6
- Aw no! AW NO he din't!!! I was all over that like 3 days ago! -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 17:53 5
  - ha!!!! fwiw, this was in the NY times over a month ago, maybe two months. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:54 4
    - If it wasn't posted on ST, it doesn't count. For that matter, even if it wasn't, it doesn't count when I'm involved. -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 17:56 3
      - who says it wasn't? I'm pretty sure I posted it myself. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:56 2
        
        I know I did. nm but: -- (link) - b! Aug 13, 19:53 [Backboard] 1
        
        aha!!! apparently I commented but did not post. I knew it had been posted, though. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 19:54
I never had to show ID or get escorted to a maternity ward. Maybe I should hire myself out as a baby stealer. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:44 22
- A boy, please, to balance out the family. -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 17:50 1
  - you want one of my sister's? She has five, she won't miss one. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:51
- At the hospital we're going to you have to be buzzed into the maternity ward. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 13, 17:46 17
  - At outs the parents also have tags that match the one on their baby. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 17:52 4
    - Yeah, that too. And you're told not to take it off until the mom and baby go home. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 13, 17:54 1
      - Yup. There are rather large... incidents if people do not listen. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 17:56
    - they have that at my local hospital that I mentioned on b2. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:53 1
      - (where they brought the wrong baby to a mother for nursing) -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:55
  - It sounds like a very good idea to me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:49 11
    - Yeah, I think it is. Even the visitors waiting room is outside of the maternity ward. Also, Bery they still have the "baby room" at our hospital - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 13, 17:51 10
      - Wow. I could not imagine leaving my baby in a baby room. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 17:52 8
        
        Fathers can't stay in the room, and after her c-section she'll be pretty doped up (as she was the first time) so we'll pretty much have to do this. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 13, 17:55 3
        
        Wait, fathers cannot stay? That is effed up. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 17:56 2
        
        Yeah, it really sucks. They close the ward down at around 8. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 13, 18:49
        
        ... but that makes sense then that they would warehouse the babies. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 17:57
        
        three of my nephews went to NICU... that's sort of a baby room. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:54 3
        
        and if its anything like jacen's nicu, its also like a maximum security prison. - TFox Aug 13, 17:56 2
        
        I did not have trouble getting in. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:56 1
        
        Bizarre. moose jr was in the NICU and it was *locked down*. (nm) - musubi, adorable Aug 13, 19:06
      - last time I visited, my friend gave my name and a general description, and apparently that did the trick. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:52
- ITs the candy striper uniform that fools them every time -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 13, 17:45 1
  - that's my favorite outfit! -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:49
Expandables was as craptastic as expected, and I wasn't expecting much. - Mop Aug 13, 17:43 4
- It's a movie about old actors getting fat? -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 17:50
- PS: Has Eric ever had a movie open up against little sister Julia? -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 17:49
- Happy Birthday -- nm - Stallone's poopy movie Aug 13, 17:46
- C+ -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 17:43
