heck... we don't bbq birds or pigs! just cows! ..and we wouldn't throw you in the fire! (well, not on purpose anyway)

I really am trying to think of something myseestorEx... but all that keeps coming to mind is popsicle sticks... I'm sorry... very sorry... :(

...it's looking like the latter...

If you got DirectTV, you got their new box and it would have two channels there for your local FOX (if it broadcasts in HD), wherever they have two channels next to each other, with the same number, the HD channel is the first one... If your locals do broadcast HD and they're not on your DTV box you can get an HD antenna but then you'd have to run lines from it to all of the sets...

You don't have a FOX HD channel? It's in your locals... if you got DirectTV it should be there... If you get your locals off of antenna it will be channel x-1 (where 'x' is your local channel number) (the '-1' are HD channels)

my vote is they should go with Beckett... he only threw (what) 80 pitches the other night? then you get him for game 7 also...

Wakefield tonight is a coin flip... it's either gonna be a genius move or insanity... (rhino, I predict you'll soon be addicted to the Discovery Channel in HD)

I don't know... I think Gagne cares... I think it's more because he's an older, seasoned veteran who knows that there are gonna be times like this... it comes with the territory. I do think that he's got a serious case of "Im a closer - itis" though... and fights the negativity that's been brought on by his (lack of) performance. But... Dice-K is supposed to be Japan's supreme professional and the next best greatest pitcher... and should be able to get out of the fifth inning... something he's failed to do so far in the post season... And I'm really surprised that "the nation" hasn't gotten on him... I mean, Schilling is old and more than halfway down the back side slope of his career, so he can be forgiven (that and the fact that he willed them to win in 2004)... but Dice-K? He's the 150 million dollar investment to guarantee that the WS banner comes back to Baaahston this year...

Question for members of "the nation": Why are you all so upset about Gagne when Dice-K can't even get out of the fifth inning?

I vote that we give it to Suda... it's really "Third Rate Romance" isn't it? I've also heard it called "Third Rate Romance, Low Rent Rendezvous"...

Sorry CalDreamer... I guess we posted at the same time... of course, you're correct! UGLI fruit, BETTY Rubble

Hey Rocky and Simon... congrats to your Dbacks on making the post season (really)! Please tell Mr Byrnes to keep his comments about luck out of the media! The Rockies did everything that the Dbacks seemed to forget (what got them there)... namely play good, solid, foundational baseball... They played pretty much flawless defense. They hit what the pitchers were giving them (plate discipline, going with pitches). They didn't make base running errors. They made their own "luck". They're riding an amazing streak... the only way it continues in the WS (against either team) is if they keep it up... Congrats to the Rockies! I have a feeling this other series is not over (duh)... unless Manny and Papi go into a slump (not likely)

WD.. are you making the drive down I-35? If so, don't forget to switch to I-45 south out of Dallas... (that goes for you too DMiller)

nice sentiments ADan... that's kind of along the lines of what I'd like to see... except, I'd like them to come out and say "we will sin no more"... that they've admitted their wrongs and will "go and sin no more"... will get out of the BUSINESS of making money off of people's hopes and dreams...

Think before breeding with animals??? What is there to think about? Why that's an abomination!!!

that fruit has a name... it's a combination of tangerine and grapefruit I think... but they've given it a name and they sell it...

I was just about to post the same thing rhino... that's not the way to win games (if you're the team with the bases loaded)...

oh all right... oh... and Suda's was The Wildboyz with Chris and Steve-O from the JackAss crew...

OK... is it Pretty In Pink???

I hear ya starman! If you submitted this as "The Rockies Story" to a studio head they would reject it as too unbelievable... they have to win the last two games of the season and the team they're chasing has to lose the last two... and that team is up by two against Trevor Hoffman in the last inning and he blows the game? and they win their two and the other team loses and then they meet for a playoff and win it and then... it's a great time to be alive... (well, mostly)

aw heck... I'm leaving "she who must be obeyed" at home! if you come we'll do a phone hook up for him! we did one last year for myseestorexcathedra...

Good for you Notta! Ya know... that's a lot like it was at the Texas BBQ last year!

Exactly how big of a bribe are we talking about here?

he does kind of look like James T. Kirk doesn't he?

now Hap... not counting the Chickens while they're still embryos! That's not how your Rockies got to this point... Let's hope there's more palatable weather tonight... I severly dislike Baseball when it's below 50 or when it's wet and doubly so when it's both! Maybe Owings gets them a game!?!?
