  1. Bought that for my PS3. For me, it was the best game I've played yet. In my opinion, the writing and storyline was one of the tightest and most fulfilling that I have encountered.
  2. "Kids, get a degree and a good job so you too can take sick time as vacation daysI"
  3. School Attendance Review meeting? As others have said, there are attendance laws that schools are enforcing. Yeah, it's about the money, but there always compromises that can be worked out. For example, at our school site we have those meetings, but we also offer the students the opportunity to make those days up at Saturday School. It really doesn't matter if they are "excused absences" or not. Schools need to recoup their time and money. I'm sure it can't be helped at times, but it's always better to get the kids to school.
  4. haha. I believe it should say more plate appearances with men on base or something to that effect.
  5. Absolutley agree. The team might as well see what they have. I believe there is a possiblitiy that Hamilton can be productive again.
  6. I believe the article said the governor's mandate will "affect..to some degreee, farmers." I believe it was in reference to keeping better track of where the water is going. In the second-to-last paragraph, the article states that the order doesn't contain a mandate for farmers. This is the shitty part. 80% of our water goes to 2% of our overall economy. Seems as though farmers need to bring their watering systems to the Twenty-first Century. Flooding fields is probably not the most efficient way of watering. I dunno. I'm neither a farmer, nor an expert in agriculture.
  7. I absolutely agree with you. In the bigger picture, they are ALL overpaid. In baseball, it's the cost of doing business. Weaver is what he is, warts and all. At the very least, he's managed to stay pretty healthy and keeps his team in the game most nights. The rest is white noise. Now, Pay for Lack of Performance of Any Kind? That's a slightly different story.
  8. Pack it up, Pack it in Let me begin I came to win... Good shit.
  9. In the second paragraph, you write, "It all comes down to not correctly valuing Richards, Shoemaker or even Santiago for that matter. Richards is one of ten best pitchers in baseball, Shoemaker isn't a fluke he's a legit #3, Santiago posted an ERA at 3.30 after his promotion from AAA..." Then, in the third paragraph, you state that the source of the article is not acknowledging Weaver's and Wilson's prior success. I'm not sure I follow your logic here. In one comparison, you seem to believe prior success should be factored, but in the case of Richards, Shoemaker and Santiago, you appear to discount that logic and affirm that they are incredibly undervalued and prior success be damned. I'm not sure that one can have it both ways. The logic train seems to take a departure. Either we use prior success in all cases or discount it completely. I honestly don't know what Richards, et. al. will do this year. I'd like to believe that they wil find the same success, but until I see a "track record", I think the jury is still out. Thus the #12 rating.
  10. Same here. I think the difference for me is the visual "space" underneath me. If I can see open space, I get very uptight. Standing on the roof of a two-story house is fine though. It's disgustingly irrational.
  11. Back and to the left. BACK...and to the left! ...that's one MAGIC loogy!
