Well, Mstar, I wish I could play that clip... I love that kind of thing too. btw, Brandon Webb is now 9-0 in 9 starts! Dbacks won 8-5 tonight, Webb gave up 3 runs. I meant to say that the clip wouldn't play for me...

He doesn't say, but does report (on his page on the other site) that he has a fellowship in his home.

To a Number ONE baseball fan, and wishing and hoping, even more than for another WS championship for the Red Sox, for MANY more happy birthdays for you!

Right on! :D

Hmmm... 30 wins. Now THAT would be a heluva'n accomplishment. I don't know that anyone's brought it up in the local media or on FSN or ESPN... however, I would say another Cy Young is well within reach... and IF the offense holds up, they've got a great opportunity to go all the way. I don't know that McCain was at the game we were at. He was probably on the road yesterday. Keep him away from the button that dispatches the Big One! ;)

With me and simonzelotes cheering him on this afternoon, Brandon caught the Phillies in his WEBB and earned his 8th victory of the season against ZERO losses. It was the first Dback win we've witnessed in person since some time in 2006. As always, simon was good company to go with the great baseball. :)

ALL parents are when their kids are teens... no shame in that. :)

You mean I have NOT been phenomenal?

I got the tickets from Stubhub.com paid less, WITH shipping charges than would have buying directly from the team box office live and in person. I picked them up today at the local Fedex office. The guy said stubhub's been doing business for a couple of years now. Well, I just heard of them very recently. Anyway, season ticket holders sell tickets for whatever they think they can get. Anyway, fans from other MLB cities might want to check it out. The purchase is guaranteed. If, for any reason, the team doesn't honor the tickets, stubhub will see about either getting tickets for you OR refund your money. Anyway, Thursday day game that will be seen in AZ and Philly... and me and Simon will be in the front row of the upper deck on the third base side... :)

I also applaud CT attorney general Blumenthal!

You did NOT acknowledge your misguided characterization of my views.

And for the record, since I deleted the text of my posts earlier, Bumgarner had COMPLETELY mistaken my views. I NEVER sympathized with Oldiesman, nor attempted to justify ANYTHING that Wierwille (the grandfather) did regarding the sexual abuse of young women. NEVER.

never mind... and thanks again to Pawtucket for appropriately editing out threats made by another poster.

thank you Pawtucket for deleting Bumgarner's post, therefore, I too remove it from here.

Anyone remember Micah Owings? Last year's NL silver slugger award winner, the second year pitcher hit a game tying PINCH-HIT 2 RUN HR this afternoon in a game that the Dbacks overcame a poor start by Randy Johnson to win 8-7. Key word: PINCH-HIT! Amazing.

Why is RD not identified in the email or at the beginning of the interview?

I know how to contact them, if someone wants to know, let me know I can get word to them.

Okay, so ssri's are not YOUR drug of choice, no problem, my mistake. You MADE my point. Thank you. Not at all... I can't imagine your sad that I don't go there to bug you any more. AGAIN. THIS thread, as started by Gilligan, was a legitimate discussion. Ham, on the other hand, has some serious screws loose and that other discussion is some pretty solid evidence thereof, if he (and you) want to try to make anyone believe it was anything but a way to slam someone that you really (regardless of whether Ham has met the young man) DON'T know.

"rocky wants..."? Do you have ANY idea how ridiculous you sound. Look, you get your way without me calling attention to your insane ideas on the political forum here these days... one might think that would be cause for thankfulness. My problem? I simply complimented Gilligan and pointed out that THIS thread was about the ideas. And Ham's thread is about bashing a person without basis. Why do you say this, here on this thread, is a problem? Better up your Rx for prozac there rhino.

doesn't matter. this thread is about a legitimate discussion. the other thread was mostly just nasty gossip.

btw, Gilligan, I think this discussion you started is more appropriately focused on the actual and legitimate topic for discussion (the WC principles) than that other thread rhino mentioned, which is more like a judgement on a person that Ham (who started that thread) has never met.

Dougie! Happy Birthday YOUNG MAN! Here's to MANY, MANY more!

I knew him... back in the 1980s. More than likely, he's still in the Phoenix, AZ area. btw, Randy, This type of inquiry is generally done in the Friend Finder forum. This forum, by State, is generally for locating fellowships or whatever else might be happening in a particular state in the US.

Have a happy one friend... and celebrate with the "Onion Loaf" from Tony Romas! Here's to MANY more!

Just curious, Ham... how much of your view on the way corps is from your experience IN the program? And I think just about everybody already knows that you HAVE SUGGESTED emphatically that the stated intent was flawed to begin with. How much do you have to say for YOU to believe that you've actually made your point (that YOU BELIEVE the intent is flawed)? Or do you believe it is your God given responsibility to prevent the Sowers program from even taking place? Frankly, my impression of your incessant zeal on this subject, and that you seem not to believe you've made your point, is that you have as serious of a lack of understanding of legitimate social and/or emotional boundaries as you claim TWI has had. I'm certainly NOT saying TWI was good at understanding and honoring boundaries. Just that it might be a problem with YOU too, if you can't recognize where your reasonable right to comment on the Sowers program ends and the McMullen's responsibility before God and the people that he recruits begins.
