Song Battle - R.E.M (Final Round Open)

I understand the basics, because they seem similar to a game we learn in school called Rounders. Use a bat to hit a ball and move between bases without being run-out (sorry, thats a cricket term, I don't know if it is the same for baseball or...
It's summer! Favorite Slurpee (tm) flavors, real or imagined! Cherry Lime
give a silly answer. Or if you have a factual one, you can give that instead. Here's mine:- If dogs have such a good sense of smell, why do they have to put their nose right up to a turd to sniff it?
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 -...
I was actually crying. I usually rooted against him, but I admired his work ethic and the NFL will miss him dearly. So sad for one so young to die. This is a bad week for celebrities.
So this game is rocking, but here I am in the sacrifice room (pandora's temple/posidein's challenge)--the missing handle is lying on the floor glinting up at me like a two-dollar whore--and I can't pick the damned thing up. I've got Kratos jumping...
A few weeks ago I played Texas Hold'em for the first time. First I read up on the rules and practiced against an (offline) computer game. Shortly afterwards I met with a friends of mine and we played live (real but negligible money), but only one...
Copying and pasting from chat, cause I'm lazy like that. Zabigail « Wed May 06, 2009 12:13 pm » was pondering on if anyone would like to hear about the cute game I found on Steam the other day Zabigail « Wed May 06, 2009 12:13 pm » It's kind...
Quantum weirdness entends right through your unappreciating intellect, opposing philosphophies, appropriately silenced, down from great historical juggernauts knowing little. Zounds, exemplified confusion, voiced by new minds. Okay, so I cheated...
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...
Steroids in baseball. HGH in football. EPO and blood-packing in the Tour de France. Marijuana in Olympic snowboarding. You know...the performance enhancers. ;) In all the conversation about how to eliminate doping in sports, it seems to be an...
Previous thread can be found here . Well, the Dodgers got Kuroda back, and he's seemingly semi-in shape. They couldn't back him up with any runs, however, and we lost the opener to the D-Backs. No worries. We're still 8 games up in the NL West....
Currently I'm aware of only one country with several "national" football associations: the UK. Is this an exception for specific reasons or could any country send more than one team to international tournaments?
I say a state, you say the capital and then pick another state. Example: I post Mississippi. Next poster says "Jackson" and then gets to post another state like "Iowa". Ok? Simple enough? But fun! I'll start. Iowa. :smile:
I'm doing a series of female nudes (back and front views) from the neck down and knees up (and thanks to those who contributed photos of yourselves in the nude--unfortunately, I'm not doing any male nudes just now--I got a lecture at a group show I...

Rather than infect the main Baseball thread with a hijack, I'd like to explain, with a minimum of hostility, what sabermetrics is and why I value it so much. I've been a baseball nut for nearly 50 years, and I owe the vast majority of the...
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. ...
Has anybody played the PC Game Stalker? It's set in and around Chernobyl in 2012. If so, I would love to know how to get the papers out of the underground lab. I keep getting locked into the room beneath the control room and get "someone is...

That is a lot of money, although he is currently the best player in the world. I wonder who Man Utd are going to spend it on.

Indiana - Come for the nut logs, stay for our post-industrial happy-hour specials
I play the former, but not the latter, as I'm a very special kind of nerd. I'm wondering how transferrable the skillsets are. Specifically, I'm wondering how long is reasonable for a skilled pitcher to take to become a skilled dartsmen. ...
I need to run a charades game for a group of 14-20, 7-10 year olds on Saturday. I figured 30 suggestions will be plenty. My idea was simple things like animals, vehicles, maybe some movie characters from recent popular kid movies. So I...

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?
There is an interesting demonstration at this link about why a baseball curveball appears to curve: http://illusioncontest.neuralcorrelate. ... curveball/ Long story short: it is an optical illusion caused by the observer's (the batter in this...
Alright, I know at least one of you people out there (*hinthint*) got your hands on it early, but for everybody else, who else is anxiously awaiting this one? One thing I'm pleased with is finding out that it will not have the obnoxious, invasive...
Legends of Zork! It's not too bad for a time waster. I recommend reading this topic in the forums, and the FAQ early though. Here's one of my characters: Zabigail. (Looks like you have to be logged into your account to look at character profiles...
There was a bit in "The Onion" today about a manly bar owner who lost his mind and sponsored an adult kickball team. OK, is there actually such a team, or is this just a shot at grown-ups playing softball and the like. And yeah, I could Google...
Ok, things have started to settle down with everybody's favorite teams. So where does yours stand? As of today, the Dodgers are leading the NLWest by 3.5 games, and have the second-best record in baseball behind the Cards. But our pitching is...
Just back from a day at Wrigley. Don't pound them like I used to, but I did okay. Todays totals: 4 Coronas 2 Goose Island Honker's Ales 2 Pints BBK
No, I'm afraid they won't really work playing them online, but I want to hear about the drinking games other people have played. I was a terribly square and boring teenager in many ways. I never had much interest in drinking or partying. When I...
I, for one, am I shocked. Well, not that shocked. You know, now that I think about it, I'm kind of wondering what took so long.Veteran games developer 3D Realms has closed down because of a lack of funds. Founded in 1987, the firm popularised...

If I didn't need any more convincing, the way Jensen Button has suddenly become a 'world-beater' is all the proof I need that this 'sport' is all about the car. Instead of certain drivers having access to the best vehicle for the job, why can't...
Although I am a diehard Yankee fan, I do enjoy watching any baseball game. I get MLB Extra Innings every year so I get to see a variety of announcers. I could name annoying things about a ton of them, but I've selected what I believe to be the...
I saw this on another board recently: The Broken Picture Telephone Game. One person writes a short description, then the next person has to draw a picture of the description, then a third person writes a description for the second person's drawing,...
Well, not straightaway, and there may be a few complaints about the idea, but it looks like the NFL are seriously thinking about it. London SuperBowl talks here Could make the half time show interesting and I wonder if they will change the...

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 was at a game this weekend, and happened to notice the bat boy, who was actually, of course, more like a "bat young man". I got to thinking -- has there ever been a case of a Major League bat boy going on to be a Major League player or manager,...

So I've signed up with some friends for a 'korpen'-team. It's an amateur football league, with fairly lax rules, 7 v 7 on a small field. I know I need the exercise, but I can't just run. The boredom would kill me faster than any heart condition. ...
Well, did you do it?
Better luck next year, guys. Oh, and a special note to Scott Walker of the 'Canes: I hope you contract genital herpes from a toilet seat.
