I'm definitely happy and looking forward to the series starting tonight. 7 games decide a season. Anything can happen. Congrats to the Phillies and their fans and good luck. The starter discussion is an interesting one. I marvel at the stats of Catfish Hunter, Nolan Ryan, etc. and the innings totals they would amass. Regarding Mo and more than one inning. I think overall Girardi tried to protect him from that during the regular season, as he should have. But, for the playoffs, all bets are off. Since becoming the closer, he's pitched in 24 postseason series and he's pitched more than an inning per appearance (on average) in 21 of them (and the other 3 were all ALDS' where the team got eliminated).

Cool pictures. Via Digg.

Congrats Danielle!

Congrats to your grandmother, Blackbelt 1400. And welcome.

We have some pretty long threads. This is a great one, though! Patrick

The problem is just as much perception as it is reality. If a student and teacher are dating, it doesn't matter if the teacher is being fair. Some will still feel there is bias, no matter what. I'm not saying it's fair, but it's life. That doesn't mean, of course, that you have to cater to those people, either. But, it can be bad for the school and can also be bad for business, if you're a for-profit school. Patrick

What do you mean, Bob? Sounds like an interesting program, congrats Shawn. Thanks, Patrick

I love the replies to this thread. Helpful and encouraging. We have a great community of people! Patrick

Welcome nighthawk! Glad to have you.

Finally, the Dolphins got a win. Of course, I was away. lol. But, good to get that monkey off our back.

That's great.

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

The chess one was the only one that I knew about. Patrick

I'm a sports fan. Big Yankees and Dolphins fan. I'm a huge Diddy and Bad Boy Entertainment fan and collecting all of their music is a major hobby for me. CDs, cassettes, vinyl, digital audio, various memorabilia... tons of rare stuff. I love it. Investing, playing sports, video games, reading and watching TV (House, 24, The Simpsons, Family Guy). Don't get much time to do these things, unfortunately.

Welcome samwisekoi. Thanks for sharing.

The Dolphins went from encouraging to just bad when Pennington went down. Rough. But, I still hold out hope.
