From CBS Sportsline:

Cool, thanks for all of the feedback.

From what I understand, yes, it is normal for him to switch in game, based upon the match up (which side is the hitter's weaker side). Here's another video about him:

Welcome.

Good luck. I'm not really sure how accurate that number is. But, if everyone wants to try to be online at the same time, why not. Patrick

The Yankees recently drafted Pat Venditte, a pitcher who throws with both arms. He had his professional debut on Thursday and it resulted in a little drama. The New York Times has the story of what happened when a switch hitter came to the plate. The hitter kept switching sides, but Venditte switched along with him, of course. In the end, Venditte struck out the hitter. SNY has a clip. Should be an interesting pitcher to follow.

Thanks all.

I'm trying to get into Digg a little bit. Only so much time in the day!

http://www.spore.com/ftl I've been hearing a lot about this and thought I'd start a topic. Anyone been messing around with it?

From the BBC:

If you're into art, this is a pretty interesting story from the AP about a Rembrant painting that an auction house thought was fake that appears to actually be real.

The AP has a report of a 18 year old in Terre Haute, IN, who robbed the lemonade stand of a 12 year old girl. He took $17.50. But, the girl chased after him and, after he ran into a House, she called the police and the guy was arrested. Not saying the girl should have ran after him (dangerous thing to do), but it's funny/good it worked out how it did. I like how they spoke to another 12 year old to get a quote. heh.

From the press release: Wow. Via Engadget, who says that it looks to cost around $100,000, judging from the pricing in Japan.

Thanks marie curie and Brian.

The new Get Smart movie is coming out on Friday. Who's going to see it? I actually used to watch this show a bit when I was younger when it was on Nick at Nite.

Sorry to hear that.

Thanks NewEnglands_KyoSa and Ryan. Looking forward to seeing you around more, as well. Patrick

That's a tough question. I always like the threads when members unite to kindly help, guide and offer input to someone who's in need of it.

Cool. I usually participate in baseball and football and maybe the odd occasional league in some other sport.
