It's not over! Was it 'OVER' when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
:eek:

Nope.....mainly because the Germans <b>still</b> haven't bombed Pearl Harbor.:)

JR, I hate to break it to you, but you need to rent the movie, "Animal House".

Who's with me!! When the going gets tough...the tough get going!

I'm with you...... LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:D

WOW......a MLB team with 10,000 losses....and it wasn't the Cubbies either.

Who woulda thunk it?

Hey!

Here's a silent signal for you, too: a very quiet finger...

:p

The Tigers have scored 214 of their majors-best 536 runs with two outs.

And another little known fact.......

They're now making fishing rods out of carrots.

Yup.....carrots!

They're also making golf clubs out of carrots too.

Great !
I can get rid of my black graphites and get some new orange ones.
Although I must admit that I've never broken a graphite with a fish on, but I have broken many tips on branches, truck doors and clumsy feet. :)

This movie is based on the residence I lived in while at university.

The real story behind Bonds steroid use

I thought that the character was based upon your time at the university! :)

Watched the cable special "The Ghosts of Flatbush". It's clips were somewhat redundant but it told me something I didn't know about the Dodgers moving to La-la-land.

If Walter O'Malley could have convinced NY city planner Robert Moses to condemn some rundown buildings in Brooklyn, O'Malley would have built a new domed stadium and the Dodgers would not have moved. Moses wouldn't do it - not because the buildings didn't qualify - but because he wanted to see a new stadium built in Queens instead.

Ironically, a few years after the move, Shea Stadium was built right where Moses wanted it.

Oh yeah - the special had some great insights into the hiring of Jackie Robinson. Apparently Branch Rickey wanted him and O'Malley would have been just as happy to not do it!

Actually where O'Malley wanted to put that stadium was in Prospect Heights and building the stadium there would have resulted in a pretty big urban redevelopment plan. At that time there was nothing but open space in Flushing Meadows, both Shea Stadium and the '62 World's Fair were built on the grounds Moses had in mind. I'm not the biggest fan of Robert Moses but it's silly to believe that O'Malley moved his team clear across the country because he couldn't agree with Moses & the city on where to put a new stadium. In fact, O'Malley was offered space in Coney Island to build a stadium, that land is now occupied by the Mets affiliated class A minor league team the Brooklyn Cyclones. What real estate developer O'Malley really wanted was to own the stadium and the ground under it (Moses wanted the stadium to be developed & owned by the city) and even more he wanted to buy into the huge real estate opportunity on the west coast. Moving the Dodgers to LA was an incredibly smart business decision by O'Malley and I suspect he would have made the move even if the city had agreed with all his demands.

BTW, it's interesting to note the proposed site of O'Malley's Brooklyn stadium is about where the proposed new arena for the Nets will be, owned by real estate developer Bruce Ratner. This project includes both high and low income housing along with the arena.

Isn't there a rule that the official scorer can credit someone else with the win, if a pitcher is ineffective?

Would the above be an appropriate application? Linebrink walked two batters and then surrendered a game-tying 3-run homerun. Why should he get the win?
