I like these kind of games. To start us off: letter
I'll start us off kneecap
That's it really, is Chipper Jones' career stats good enough for him to make it into the hall? I don't see him as a first ballot guy, but perhaps in the wake of the steroid era he'll make it in on the second or third try. What do you think?
...........So should Pete Rose. Fucking with the game is fucking with the game and that is my contention. It looks more and more like everyone in this era, with the hopeful exclusion of KGJ has boosted their stats with dope and it's just as bad...
For Kyle Orton and two first round picks. Story here. I can't believe it. A real, actual, honest to goodness quarterback. On the Bears. Now we just need a wide reciever and an offensive line and we're set. In your face rest of the NFL....

Yeah, I know that technically the season opened last night with the Sox beating the Evil Yankees, and while that was a good game and it felt like baseball season for sure, today is the full on Opening Day. The Cubbies face the Braves this...

So there this "massive social online game" called erepublik, which left me slightly puzzled; there's nothing much you can do in the game at the beginning except to log in, click a button to work, buy some food, and wait for another day. Does anyone...

Did anyone else have fun with/pull their hair out over Ice Breaker ? If you've any hair left, you can give it up to Ice Breaker: The Red Clan. ::pulls on wig:: You'll know where I'll be. :D
I love playing the feuds, enough to commit to running one here if there's any interest. Unless of course another SDMBohemian else has had a burning desire to do so longer than I've been posting here/there. Whaddya think?
USA's just knocked out Egypt and Italy from the Confederations Cup group stage (warm up tournament for the World Cup), in perhaps the strangest group stage ever. The Americans didn't have any points at the beginning of the night, but beat Egypt 3-0...
Time for some dingbats (a.k.a. Rebus puzzles). If you aren't familiar with them, they're a "visual pun" of a well known phrase. For instance, the dingbat: BLU E Is a pun of "blue movie". The phrase should be obvious, when somebody...
Ronaldo's goal against Porto last night was pretty impressive, as was Adebayor's overhead kick in the last round. Any more good ones?
How exactly do you learn to do a cryptic crossword? I've looked at the overview article on Wikipedia, and without explanation I would never have understood what was going on. Do people normally get taught how to do them, are there books available,...
Arsenal's just gone through against Roma after a penalty shoot-out that went to sudden death. That puts Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in the last eight, pretty good showing from the English teams. Who's the favourites to win, now? Man...
Is anybody watching the rugby? Wales just had their dreams of a Grand Slam crushed by the French. Does anybody have any predictions on eventual winner? That defeat just made a lot of teams, including England, viable contenders.
I'm growing tired of playing CoD:4. CoD:5 isn't all that good, from what I've heard, especially if you're played CoD:4 before. Are there any decent shooters on the horizon?
The season is about to start soon. Is anybody playing fantasy football (it's free to enter). Is there enough interest for a Domebo league?
That distinctive caller of Phillies games and member of the Hall of Fame is gone. Tributes to Harry. He collapsed in the press box at Nationals Stadium and after being transported to GWU Medical Center, was pronounced dead. Harry had that...
I'm trying out in a bit more than a month, and am trying to get myself more prepared. I have pretty good broad knowledge, but is there anything anybody would recommend hitting in a bit more depth? :)
I just rediscovered this bookmark after a while away from it, it's called Urban Dead, and it's all about surviving in a ruined British city that's been overrun by zombies. No getting ahead majorly by paying, and playtime is just a few minutes per...

Just had a read of this article on mlb.com. The message is ingrained in pitchers at an early age, and the philosophy holds true in the big leagues: Get ahead in the count with two quick strikes, and then make sure that third pitch can't be hit. ...
I just got through the on-line voting for the MLB All-Star game and was curious as to who othr people like this season and your justifications (if any). Here's who I voted for: AL 1B - Morneau 2B - Iwamura 3B - Longoria SS - Bartlett C -...

If they moved to the SEC or ACC, or even Big 10, what realignment dominoes would that set off?
If I realigned the NBA before this season, the 1st rd matchups would've been: ATL/NO HOU/WASH TOR/MEM SA/DAL GS/PHO CLEV/MILW POR/OKC
Congrats to Piazza and Griffey! Griffey broke Seaver's % record. (3 votes shy of 100%)
The Coyotes are worth $225M, and the Raptors are worth $920M. So that's 1.15B. How much would it cost to make Key Arena NBA worthy/replace, and put in NHL legal ice surface?
How much longer would it take to recover from tearing all 4 cruciate ligaments v. Both tendons and menisci?
Back in the day, it moved around quite a bit, though Yankee Stadium was a popular venue. Do you think we'll ever get back to that, or has that shipped sailed?
According to a trade calculator I found, the #1 pick is worth 3,000 points. How much are: the starting, back-up and #3 QB worth? To make the trades I tried worth it, the values needed are: 525 for the #3 1683 for the backup 2256 for the...
If you wanted to set parameters for a search on their sites, how would you go about that?
I think it would be better for baseball's draft to be more like other sports, with it's draft in the off-season. In this case, the college off-season. Would moving the draft back three weeks really be detrimental to MLB? The only bad side I see is...
I once saw a chart showing a progression of the way players would change positions. Anyone else ever see it? I believe it starts with 3B or LF, ending w/1B.
I'm you knew many 3 sport athletes in HS, and maybe even college if you were at at smaller school. Can you think of any athlete who played 3 sports? (X-country and the two seasons of track are 1 sport)
There was a team that had consecutive road games, both on East Coast I believe. The team, the Raiders I believe, stayed on East Coast to prepare for second game. Why don't more teams do this?
