I heard of this kid during the draft and thought it was pretty remarkable. When the draft was taking place the Cubs announcers were talking about him and asking what would happen in the scenario that took place the other night. Wouldn't you know just weeks later it would happen. -
That's quite funny, I can't stand spam email.

I didn't want to say that because I was kinda pissed when I read it online, so I didn't want to release any spoilers. I didn't want to know any spoilers, but stumbled into that one a few months back..

I wouldn't count Sarah returning out yet. There was no real proof that it was Sarah's head in the box. All I'm saying is it wouldn't shock me at all to see her back.

Well I wont be watching anymore golf this summer :-\ The only time I watch golf is when Tiger is winning or when it's a major. I think 90% of America agrees with that lol. You won't catch me watching golf this summer, I'll be watching the Cubbies, more baseball, and Nascar.

After Singapore Airlines claimed to be the first to the market in offering passengers connectivity for the Apple iPod personal electronic devices, United says it is taking the honors as the first US carrier to offer the amenity. United today is debuting the feature on a transatlantic flight from Washington Dulles to Zurich that allows passengers to connect iPods and iPhones to its IFE system, which features a 15.4-inch widescreen flat panel monitor. The US major has previously said it is engaging in a $165 million revamp to equip premium cabins of its international widebody fleet that includes new Panasonic IFE systems to allow iPod and iPhone connectivity in first and business class, and lie-flat beds on the aircraft. Last month, Singapore Airlines flew its first flight offering iPod connectivity on an Airbus A340-500. The carrier is reconfiguring five of the aircraft to all-business class layouts. “Our guests may now watch or listen to what they want, when they want, with programming they choose,†said United Airlines executive VP Graham Atkinson in a statement today. “United will continue to provide services and technology that makes our customers’ travel experiences more relaxed and enjoyable.â€

Crater what do you have that you're selling? I love paintballing when it isn't hunting season for me. I just upgraded from my Tippmann A-5 to an Eclipse Ego 08 (Yeah my wallet took a beating on that one). I'm always looking for extra gear, let me know.

LMAO I thought it was going to be another one of those scream at the game videos until the ending. That's awesome!

Haha sorry Malu! I just happened to be up and checking fantasy baseball when Sportsline.com broke the news on the story.

My sentiments precisely.

Definitely. The guy gave it his all and man I must say Tiger's knee must really be hurting. With Tiger 100% healthy Rocco wouldn't have stood a chance, but he played right there with Tiger this weekend.

I'm getting raped by Shitcast Comcast as it is. I'm paying for their best service available and I'm barely getting half of the speed I should. My last speed test was 8 down and 1.5 up.. It really sucks here too, because they practically have a monopoly on the area. The only other services available are AT & T and Verizon DSL, which are capped at 5 down and .75 up. I am so fed up with internet prices as it is, I don't know what I'll do if they charge for bandwith..

http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/story/10868317 ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Willie Randolph is out as manager of the New York Mets, fired 2½ months into a disappointing season that has followed the team's colossal collapse last September. Bench coach Jerry Manuel takes over on an interim basis for Randolph, who led the Mets to within one victory of the 2006 World Series. They got off to a strong start again last year but plummeted down the stretch and have been unable to rebound. A preseason favorite to win the NL pennant, the $138 million Mets (34-35) had won two straight when Randolph was let go early Tuesday morning -- making him the first major league manager to get fired this season. Pitching coach Rick Peterson and first base coach Tom Nieto also were fired in an enormous overhaul that came at a stunning time -- about two hours after New York's 9-6 victory at the Los Angeles Angels. Ken Oberkfell, the club's manager at Triple-A New Orleans, and Dan Warthen, pitching coach for the Zephyrs, will join the major league staff along with Luis Aguayo, a Mets field coordinator. It was a frustrating end for the 53-year-old Randolph, who was set to be an NL coach at the All-Star game at Yankee Stadium next month. Signed through the 2009 season, Randolph won't be able to move with the Mets into new Citi Field next year, either. Randolph was known for his exceptionally steady play as a six-time All-Star second baseman and even-keel demeanor as a coach with the Yankees. Yet Randolph's time in charge of the Mets was marked by highs and lows from the get-go. Hired by new general manager Omar Minaya to replace Art Howe for the 2005 season, Randolph lost his first five games as a major league manager, then won the next six. He nearly guided the Mets into the 2006 World Series, losing Game 7 of the NLCS to St. Louis on Yadier Molina's tiebreaking home run in the ninth inning. The Mets and their fans were convinced 2007 would be their year. Poised for a big run, what followed was one of the biggest collapses in baseball history: Leading the NL East by seven games on Sept. 12, they lost 12 of their last 17 and missed the playoffs as Philadelphia rallied to win the division title. Several times, Randolph tried to separate last season's failure and this season's struggle. "I really felt we put last year behind us," he said last month. "Any pressure we feel is because of staying in the mix and not reverting back to last year. I don't sense that at all. No one ever talks about it, no one ever brings it up, so if we are looking a little like we were last year, there's no correlation." Many Mets watchers, however, felt there was a carry-over effect. Injuries to Pedro Martinez, Moises Alou and Ryan Church, another down year by Carlos Delgado and a sudden slump by closer Billy Wagner didn't help. With each stretch of inconsistent play, chants of "Fire Willie!" grew louder at Shea Stadium and on New York's sports talk radio station. Despite a $138 million payroll, the highest in the National League, and the offseason addition of ace pitcher Johan Santana, the Mets never found their groove. Even when things briefly went their way, Randolph caused trouble. Coming off an uplifting, two-game sweep at Yankee Stadium in mid-May, the first black manager in team history created a stir by suggesting in a newspaper interview that he was portrayed on Mets broadcasts differently than a white manager might be. Randolph brought up the race issue as he detailed the way he's been shown by SNY, the team's TV network. "Is it racial?" Randolph was quoted. "Huh? It smells a little bit. ... I don't know how to put my finger on it, but I think there's something there." A couple of days later, Randolph apologized to Mets ownership, SNY and his players "for the unnecessary distraction" he'd created. Late last month, Randolph got a temporary reprieve when he met with ownership. "Willie's job was never in danger going into this meeting," Minaya said after the session. "Willie has my support. He has the support of our ownership. ... There is no limbo period. Willie is the manager." But no promises for the future were made. Raised in Brooklyn, Randolph enjoyed many of his favorite and finest moments in the Bronx. He played for the Yankees from 1976-88 and was a member of two World Series championship teams. Surrounded by stars Reggie Jackson and Thurman Munson, characters Sparky Lyle and Mickey Rivers and volatile George Steinbrenner and Billy Martin, Randolph merely went about his business. He made for a good fit in pinstripes, and later became a Yankees co-captain. Randolph batted .276 lifetime -- he got 2,210 hits in 2,202 games -- and never made an error in his 47 postseason appearances. After finishing his playing career with the Mets in 1992, Randolph served as an assistant GM with the Yankees in 1993. The next year, he moved back onto the field and became their third-base coach, a post he held for 10 seasons. He was part of the Yankees team that won four World Series titles, and was manager Joe Torre's bench coach in 2004. Before landing the Mets job, Randolph said he interviewed unsuccessfully for 11 or 12 managerial openings. Randolph had Torre's full backing for the move over to Queens and they remained friends, filming a series of popular local TV commercials together. Randolph was hired in November 2004 and, boosted by the addition of Carlos Beltran and Martinez, the Mets showed immediate improvement. They went 83-79 in his first year, stopping a slide of three straight dismal seasons. The Mets did far better the next year, tying the crosstown Yankees for baseball's best regular-season record (97-65) and winning the NL East for the first time since 1988. Making their first playoff appearance in six years, the Mets swept the Dodgers in the first round despite an injury-depleted pitching staff and went into the NLCS against the Cardinals with high expectations -- those ended in Game 7.
