Vegas Halo Fan

Unfortunately, this is true. That was my first thought when I heard about this.

Flying into San Francisco on Asiana and hearing that your crew is Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk and Bang Ding Ow.

Weird again today in Vegas, High in the low 50s, windy, scattered rain all afternoon. Was 41 when I left for work this morning.

I had some issues earlier with icons loading and going from one forum to another.

Being the press secretary for the Prime Minister of Malaysia, in charge of briefing the press every day on the "progress" of finding the missing Malaysian airliner.

Prices seem a little high: $25 for daytime, $35 at night (Comparison: It cost about $9 to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris). I have a feeling they will drop the prices at some point and maybe offer a locals discount. Before that, I will just go to the top of the Stratosphere Tower for a fraction of the price for a much better view.

I'm nowhere near panic mode, but I was hoping that it would be well after the opening series before we would be discussing avoiding a sweep, especially at home.

It's just that Butcher gives them such intense preparation that it takes until they leave to finally sink in. It's a gift.

Must have some history with the Rockies or D-Backs. I was hoping to claim Marcia Brady off waivers personally.

None here. Wife is a Yankee fan, and she always seems to run into that one idiot at Anaheim who wants to talk smack after the game, has really soured her on the whole idea.

Late last week ESPN discussed the case of two University of North Carolina athletes who borrowed a car to take a short trip. Had the two stolen the car, it would have been an internal matter for the university and there would have been no investigation. Since the car was borrowed, now there has to be an investigation into whether this constitutes an illegal benefit. Any system that punishes borrowing more than stealing is too corrupt to exist.

When I saw the headline, I envisioned something about a Jeff Mathis Tribute Night.

I tried it and you didn't answer.

When I try to look at this, all I see are the comments.

Funny that W could never seem to figure this out. The company line was that the Iraqi people would rush to embrace American-style democracy once we "liberated" them. Bush seemed totally stunned (I wasn't) when every suppressed faction throughout Iraq rushed to try to fill the void once Saddam Hussein was removed. We spent trillions of dollars and spilled an uncountable amount of American blood to essentially return Iraq to a tribal society. Yes, there is a central government, but how much control do they really have? From all accounts I have read, the daily lives of most Iraqis are far worse than they were before we showed up.

What do you expect from American University?

Anybody who ever owned a Commodore Amiga remembers this classic. I had this game, and it played pretty well as I recall.

So we should send a thank you note to every other club in baseball for not drafting him? Perhaps we did a good job of developing his talents.

If you do that, you have to chew through your cords during the show.

I can maybe see the add-on for watching TV, but I'm not chomping at the bit to order a $300 speaker for my 99 cent iPhone 4. I'm also very skeptical about the add-on lenses, given the iPhone's inherent limitations as a camera. The keyboard add-on could be useful since I always seem to be mistyping using the touch screen.

Nothing wrong with that. He just wants to be the one doing the controlling. He makes sure that each purchaser doesn't look like a criminal.

All I care about is that Trout is under contract through 2020.

Jaguars. Could use the outside speed, but too early in the rebuilding process to take on the attitude.

UCLA is the quickest team I have seen all season. Part of the reason Florida's offense wasn't as good as it usually is was UCLA's quickness. As soon as the Gators got the ball downcourt, UCLA was already set up and in position.

It would have taken a lot more than Sabathia.
