Everyone in this fight and in this thread is a wussie. Except me. I can bench press Trout after Thanksgiving.

I just really like looking at RePLAYs' posts....

In this show, Miami is the Capital of the World for serial-killers... In the real world, serial-killers go dormant for any number of reasons (such as being arrested for minor violations, personal/family/occupational incidents/changes, etc.).  I think the writers understand that their audience doesn't want to waste time on the issue, tho it was brought-up occasionally.
 
I'm still more surprised that Quinn didn't wake-up his suspicions, when he saw the dexterity of that kill in the interview room.  See what I did there?!

I'm with Nate on this one...
I was at the game today, and hoped to see Trout play for the last time until Spring Training.  I was a little annoyed and wondered what they were "resting" him for, but not to the point that I didn't enjoy my day-off in the sun, drinkin beers and eatin dogs.

BY SPLITTING UP THE PLAYERS THAT ARE FIGHTING JUST LIKE THE BENCHES DO WHEN THEY CLEAR
 
You can't just hand out suspensions for clearing benches! Sorry! That makes no sense!
 
 
Right. This from the guy who quoted and agrees with the "gay" statement made at the top of this thread. But I'm the one acting childish. Get real.

Enough said.
Dude is also still living off of scoring the AL Central winning run in 2009.

i believe that both will be back next year and you can thank scioscia's contract, dipoto's newness and the angels respectable finish to the season for that.

I have used payphones in my lifetime.
 
The shirt I'm wearing today is old enough to have a driver's license.

He had two previous incidents involving guns, yet also had a special security clearance. How does that happen??

from L.A. Times obituary:
 
When World War II broke out, he enlisted in the Army Air Forces and at 21 became a B-17 pilot. He was among the first bomber pilots to lead daytime raids over Berlin. In all, he flew 29 missions with the Army's 390th Bomber Group, including raids over Hamburg and Frankfurt, and earned a Distinguished Flying Cross.
 

It is Patriot Day.
 
I remember my wife (now ex-wife) rushing into the bedroom to wake me up, telling me that we were being attacked, and that the towers had collapsed.  I turned on the tv, and saw replays of the towers on fire and was actually angry at her for lying to me for a minute!  Of course, a short time later I saw the towers fall.  I had been standing, and felt like I'd been gut-punched when I saw it.  I basically fell back onto the bed, as my head was spinning.  I have a few friends and relatives in NY/New Jersey, so I was concerned about them (everybody was fine, including those who worked in Manhattan), along with what I thought was going to be loss of life into 10,000 people.  
 
Watching it continue to unfold, I realized the towers didn't immediately fall.  That's when I knew that the number of civilian-casualties would not be as high, but the numbers for First-Responders would dramatically increase.  I think those numbers are 343 Firefighters and 72 Police Officers who rushed into danger.
 
My father and I flew back to NYC a month later to re-connect with our friends and family, but primarily out of a "need" to be there.  I wanted to show support and help in any way I could.  It was the National Memorial weekend and there was not much work being done, other than the constant hosing-down of the still-burning Pile.
 
We arranged going to a Precinct downtown, and were escorted to Ground Zero by a Sergeant and two other Officers.  One of the Officers was very quiet, and had the "1,000-yard stare."  His partner told us that this Officer had been one of the first responders, and went into the North tower to assist with evacuations.  They were a few floors up, when the South tower collapsed.  He was able to help people escape the North tower through a hole in the building, climbing down over about three stories worth of rubble.  I was floored to hear this story; my father and I both looked at him and hugged him as if he was some kind of Guardian Angel.  He, of course, is embarrassed to be called a hero.
 
We also attended a Funeral for Det. James Leahy.  I went in full, Class-A Uniform and was welcomed to stand with his fellow NYPD Officers for the procession.  It was an amazing experience and I'm glad we were able to travel back to witness the true devastation.
 
I do a lot of reflecting every year.  I'll re-read books and magazines, and watch some documentaries and movies related to 9/11.  Mostly, I'll give thanks and say a prayer for all of those who were murdered.  At the Towers, the Pentagon, and those on Flight 93.  I will go to work, and try to live-up to their standard.

pussycow!
 
and his tiger/goat/hippo/goose Spot. lol

Pirates all the way! I love the black and gold uniforms. Reminds me of CSULB. 

I'm pulling for Torii, first and the Pirates, second.

I bid him adieu and farewell.  Vladdy is a Hall of Famer in my book and one of the greatest Angels ever.  It's hard not to love the guy. 

They may have gone far in the Mafia; too bad this is the West Coast.
 
Instead, they're just suckling from the Obama teat.

Pretty much every team in baseball would have done the same thing in that situation. It wasn't like they did it because they wanted to ruin his shot at the cycle. They did it because they would have rather faced Calhoun in that situation than Trout.

"She's got a GREAT ass!  And, your head is all the way up it!"-  Al (from "Heat").  Agreed:  yelling does not equal great acting.
 
Saw double-feature of "Star Trek- Into Darkness" and "World War Z" last night.  Both were in 3-D.  I enjoyed both movies.  Star Trek seemed to be a loose-remake of "Wrath of Khan" but it was still fun.  "World War Z" is insane!  I'm not a big fan of the super-speedy zombies, but the movie surprised me.  It was kind of like James Bond vs. the zombies.  I thought it was a good zombie movie, but after reading the book it left a lot to be desired.
