  1. Syracuse vs. Boston College. The Orange are stinking up the place!
  2. Better watch it SAJ, before the crazies start to send you bizarre PM's.... I agree, btw, I would prefer a few posts based on facts over hundreds based on opinions or conjecture at this point. Hopefully we will have some FACTS tomorrow!
  3. When I clicked on your article link, it closed down my server.....
  4. Who knows? Looks like a good pick up, but as you know changing teams doesn't always equate to continued success. Plus the expectations are higher after signing a fat contract, which puts more pressure on.
  5. Hey there Rick. The baseball idea sounds good to me too. As far as your hips go, I hope it all goes very smoothly for you. My mother-in-law had hers replaced and now it's great. Hope the same goes for you. Make sure you do the rehab they instruct, it sucks at the time but you'll be better off for it. Take care and keep us updated, if you are able.
  6. Nice Rick! $100 would get you 4 grand, no? I can't believe they have the Yanks at 12:1 and the 2nd ranked team to win the AL pennant!
  7. Baltimore at 40:1....Rick must look like this !
  8. Beautiful morning in Central Florida - mid-70's and not a cloud in the sky! Supposed to be in the low 80's this week with 0% chance of rain - great for Speedweeks in Daytona Beach!
  9. I'm not a gambling man either. With such strong conviction, I just thought you may have laid down a few bucks. Anyone know (cough, Rick, cough) the odds for the different MLB teams to win it all. I have way too much respect for the 162-game season to be that sure of anything.
  10. Yes, I believe that will be their first loss. They cannot overlook BC this week though!
  11. Another game, another crazy win. SU 56 NC State 55 after a number of great defensive plays in the last 2 minutes. Next up: Wednesday night vs. Boston College This Saturday night, the rematch @ Duke, 7 pm.
  12. How much money have you laid down on them to win it all?
  13. Not sure what to make of all of this AND the two nonsensical PM's received from "lisamarie". I was only pointing out that it was your opinion, nirvava, and not a factual statement about changing the possible interview date from 2/20 to sometime in March.
  14. If she said anything at all, it was probably to get public attention. That seems to be her purpose lately.
  15. Great hockey game this morning! That skeleton racing looks like suicide! 81mph, going head first!?! Fun to watch though!
  16. Today is the actual anniversary of that show. Not just in date, but day of the week as well.
  17. Happy Valentines Day everyone!
  18. I bought into it too, Paul, at the time. Like I said, HE knew what he was doing and still had the Maris family out there honoring his accomplishment....that's what so shameful and unforgivable. Roger Maris was a salt of the Earth kinda guy. Family man, didn't run around with women and get drunk like Mantle, etc. Yet he was and still is treated like a second class player. His stats were fantastic for the length of time he played and with multiple teams, so you can't just chalk it up to playing with a good Yankees team. He should have been put into the Hall, without doubt, after all this steroid crap came to light. He was a close friend to Mrs. Walter's family and she knew him growing up - that is one reason I'm so passionate about this. I grew up a Yankees fan and could never understand why the old school fans never accepted him - and I still don't. A man of his character and talent should be applauded and honored.
  19. Me too Planted! Glad you are relaxing at home after all that shoveling, ebk! Take care everybody!
  20. Gaga will be performing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Tuesday, February 18. I'm sure it'll be spectacular!
  21. That's quite a picture, ebk! Reminds me of when I was young and living in the "snow belt" region of upstate NY. Be safe!
  22. In my opinion, McGwire's 62nd home run and the hoopla that followed involving the Maris family is one of the worst moments in the history of baseball. Disgusting that he knew he had cheated to get that record and to have Roger's family their paying homage to him when Maris did it the right way, in the face of death threats - with his hair falling out while chasing Ruth - and then to lose him the way they did to cancer.....Mark McGwire is a piece of sh!t! Off soapbox now,,,,,
  23. Start of the road trip - buzzer beater by Ennis - 58-56!!! :cheer: LET'S GO ORANGE!
