"to the curve"? Is that the expression these days? And all these years I've been saying "curb"...

That doesn't qualify as a "bucket" though...

All better. FYI: my non-collegiate sports "Chris Gomez home run" is still pretty embarrassing.

I don't know how you can argue that the original Tampa Bay helmet was a total fail when this chromified-gigantic logo mess is what they're wearing now... which used to look absolutely fabulous...behold, the Warren Sapp/Derrick Brooks/Mike Alstott/John Lynch beauties!

Fixed!

I know, I know, my spelling OCD is kicking in again, but "Cordinator" on this thread really needs to be fixed.

Burn the heretic at the stake! You'll pay for such blasphemy! That's the greatest college football helmet in the history of college football.

So how was lunch? I recommend the meatball sub.

If your boy Go-Go runs out of the box instead of doing a cocky bat toss and strutting his first five steps to 1B, he might have had a triple instead of a double for you. Still not quite the HR he obviously thought he had, LOL!

I think Oxbow6 is going...just look for the 5'3" 145 lb guy!

The guys on MLB agree with me.

Tigers win 6-1. Royals play tonight.

It's not just them...I saw it last year too. I guess it's OK if you WIN the wild-card game, sure, then you're in the playoffs, but getting to game #163 really doesn't count.

You must be in the minority then because going back to the San Jose State predictions, it would seem a lot of folks expected 3-1.

So now we have locker room champagne showers when you qualify for the one-game wildcard game? REALLY?

I'm not sure how much time a team can drain from the clock by consistently running 3 plays and then punting all game long. Am I missing something with this "strategy"?

1 W vs Detroit 1 W vs Cleveland 1 W vs Arizona 5 games left. 95 is the most they could lose.

Ian Kinsler has really saved the Tigers this season. Prince Fielder would have hit into a DP in the 9th. ZERO confidence in Detroit's bullpen.

...and the Tigers blow a 3-0 9th inning lead against the White Sox...just great.

Bye bye Brewers! 150 days in 1st place this summer...no playoffs.

Taco Bell has scaled back its presence? I was there in '89 when the first one opened on Washington Avenue. Are there more now? Did some close?

I don't think their "collapse" has been that bad - I remember earlier in the season folks on ESPN saying that they figured once Washington got healthy, they'd blow past the Braves - and they have. How bad do the signings of Dan Uggla and B.J. Upton look now though? I think Kate Upton might have a higher batting average.
