I shared a bottle of 2002 Raison D'Extra last Friday. The alcohol was way up, but it was still very drinkable. As long as you didn't have to drive home! Yowza!

You'll find quite a bit of info and discussion here: TPR discusses the iPhone 3G Lockity, lock, lock, lock!

No they haven't. And although the pieces are there, you just never know. It could be the only place they can store it. Not likely, but again, You never know.

Patrick and Jeremie, let the mods deal with the poor grammar and capitalization.

Someone did some realt quick Google Earth checks, and it won't fit where Demon and Splash Waterfalls is. That being said, it doesn't mean it won't happen.

Just an FYI: The walls are down, and rumor is that soft openings are beginning this afternoon.

An additional monorail is to come on line in the next year too, if I recall correctly. I thought the same thing about the colors when I saw the Teal and Blue monorail pictures. Couldn't tell the difference with the exception of the delta.

For those curious, Monorail Teal has made it's debut this week. It's the combination of the two trains in the accident.

Confirmed? Where? If they post a source I'll believe it. Not sure anyone noticed but V2 was in the midst of getting a fresh coat of paint. The station and queue were all freshly painted. And I can tell you that nothing that would compete with IW is coming in 2010, but changes are coming for next year!

No kidding. I'm seriously considering deleting the last four pages just to get a nice re-do on this.

It's the way he works. His eloquent way of speaking to us, has earned himself a nice timeout, as this is the second time this month he's used this tone with people that disagree with him on something sports related.

He's using Wiki as a reference. I rest my case.

Bill James and his armchair followers can go F themselves. There's more to the game than stats. Moneyball was one of the worst things to happen to the casual baseball fan. Now we have all these schmucks that think everything can be determined by obscure stats, say like someone posting in here. Next time you go to a MLB game for batting practice, watch to see what each hitter starts off with. Bunting twice before swinging. And for the timing argument, if you don't recall getting into the bunting crouch, takes up more time than your stance. That's time being used while the pitcher is winding up, then you have to get the bat in front of the plate, determine the speed, the location, and angle the bat and hope that you get the ball to go in the direction you need it to go. Yeah. That's real easy. Satch, as a mod, I'm getting really tired of the constant sports related trolling that seems to occur whenever you post. Aggressive posting is becoming your norm. Cool it.

I've never been able to handle metal music, but I think I'd like to hang out with the chick from Royal Hunt. Yowza! And, as always, Ice Bat rules.

Since I know we have some Spoodles fans here: Lemon Garlic Shrimp from Spoodles This recipe is just about dead on. I add a 1/4 cup of white wine to it too.

As someone whose been playing for 30 years. I do. That's the problem with stats nerds. They think the game is easier than it is. Again I beg the question, if bunting requires more skill, then why do pitchers bunt? Heck, a lot people say hitting a 90+ fastball is the hardest thing to do in all of sports. Lets just discuss this in a bit of detail. Bunting doesn't really require great mechanics, its all in how/where you hold the bat, the angle of the bat, and where you meet the ball. Your stance, power distribution, etc doesn't really matter. It's fairly easy (compared to hitting) because you let the ball come to you. When you are hitting, you are attacking the ball. Hitting requires a lot more mechanics (and they are more important). Every little motion is greatly amplified when you are violently swing a bat (as hard and quick as possible) at the ball. Just being able to generate the power is difficult, you have to make sure you are using your full body (feet, legs, hip, etc) to generate power. On top of all of the mechanics, timing is extremely important. Remember, you aren't letting the ball come to you, you are attacking it. It is a LOT harder to "square" up on the ball when you are attacking it vs. letting it come to you. I understand (and agree) that there is skill and mechanics to bunting, but calling it more skillful and harder than a good swing is ridiculous. Heck, the best hitters practice in the cage all the time, yet they still can easily get into a funk if just one little problem arises (mechanics, timing, hand eye coordination, etc). You're giving me a lecture of mechanics???? I am dead serious, I have been playing baseball for 30 years. I still play. I've played against, minor leaguers, ex-pros, Division A college players. Bunting requires just as much skill and "mechanics" as hitting. Get in a cage that's throwing at 90 mph, and see if you can lay down a perfect bunt.

With five less WS titles, the NL would have less wins. That's the way it works. That's kind of a useless stat. Except that the all the NL teams have to pitch to a pitcher so, that balances that out. And not all DH's are very good. I'm betting that number is skewed due to the AL East. The Central and West are not good divisions, and with the exception of the Yankees and the BoSox, the East is pretty pathetic (with the last two D Rays seasons). You said AL hitters are better...... Most NL teams have one guy that can hit off the bench. So, quite honestly, I don't think NL teams are at a disadvantage with the DH.

Mike, the Sexy SFGAm Group just wanted to let you know that the ACEr's said hello on Sunday. I'm not kidding. They were there again. And looking very sexy.

I'd rather see a pitcher hit. That's the rule when the game was created, that's the way it should be. Each player has to play both sides of the game, not just play to hit.

Yes, please. With factual evidence. Not opinions.

Nathan, Nathan, Nathan. You took one picture of me, and it's my a$$? And if you ride Whizzer with a girl, and you have "nothing to grab." YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

So DL's SM is better because it has a 2x seating and a Halloween overlay, among other things? I have yet to understand the "light pollution" argument. I don't recall it being any darker ten, twenty, years ago than it is now. It's purely a DL fanboy's imaginative way to attempt to make DL's better, along with the "it's smooth" argument. I find DL's completely boring.

They used a stock photo of Rajun Cajun.

If no one can find it, is it considered an error?
