I have a few questions for you sir.

1. Yu Darvish, is he the real deal?

2. Can you tell me on average how many runs are scored in a typical Japanese game?

3. Japan’s rollercoasters how good are they?

Thank you so much in advance!

higher speed limits (US caps around 75 right now)

and they allow steeper angles of decent along with inverted decent angles, and much crazier rider configurations

2. If I said you had a nice body, would you hold it against me?
3. Strawberries or blueberries? I want to know what kind of pancakes to get you in the morning.
4. Is that a mirror in your pocket? Cuz I can see myself in your pants.
5. Let me see your shirt tag. Yep, just what I thought. “Made in Heaven”.

Can you believe he won TWENTY-THREE GAMES IN 2002?? Before he got to San Fran last year, he only once had an ERA over 4. I can’t believe how much he’s sucked. That, and the Giants suck.

Derosa

What a wonderful player. He’s made some excellent defensive plays (at a position he doesn’t normally play) and he’s hit a 2-run homer and scored another run. The Cubs are very lucky to have him.

The only "personal" story that should be discussed with Jack Bauer

Is how he created an amazingly hot daughter. Not a faux lover, not a faux brother/wife/father/whatever…

And the writers even SAID they didn’t have last season written out, as in previous years, and that’s why it SUCKED HARD.

Didn't say it was the best

Just don’t think it was the worst season of 24 yet

Matter of taste…

by cocknfire on Jun 30, 2008 11:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

I think I saw something where the writers didn't want to make excuses, but there was some kind of timing issue that had them rushing episodes that weren't really finished yet.

They swear up and down the next season will be back up to snuff. (Not a drug cartel storyline, just, you know, better.)

For my money, the worst season remains

the one where they had the same terrorist trying to set off eight different kinds of nuclear weapons

First, he blows up the plans, then he tries to do this, then …

No controlling central storyline

Not the worst of any show ever..

but weak by 24 standards for sure. I hated Curtis being shot too…I mean, why?

OT....

Article coming out in the St. Louis Post Dispatch on Friday about Edmonds and him being Cub and coming to STL.

Rick Hummel wrote the Article…so it should be decent. The Post usally sucks but he is okay.

I heard on STL Radio this afternoon that he is worried about the Kind of Reception he will get it. He has heard that several Folks here (In STL) said that nobody should wear his Cardinal Jersey since he is a Cub now.

Article should be online at www.stltoday.com on Friday. I will try to post a fanpost on Friday if I can remember….
