  1. Saw the Book of Mormon musical last night.

    Funny as all hell. Worth every penny. Has anyone else seen it? If you are a fan of south park, you will like it. Although they are not the sole creators, you can definitely see their influence.

    I highly recommend it if you get the chance.

    Hasa Diga Eebowa!

  2. I'm running with the s3 as well. Upgraded from the iPhone 4. Had an iPhone since Generation 1 before switching. I won't go back. The iPhone is too small and I love the versatility of the S3 and of Android.

    The iPhone does feel tiny when I pick one up now. But that is just me.

    Maybe I will rock the new Note. Ginormo phone!

  3. I will always remember where I was that day. Godspeed to everyone who perished that day.

    The local firefighters here in Denver are doing their Floor Climb tribute in our building, climbing the floors their brothers weren't able too. It's awe-inspiring.

    *Salute*

  4. This is nuts. I've driven through this town so many times I can't count. I've been exactly where that picture was taken.

    It's a neat little town between Waco and Dallas that's been there for years. My heart goes out to these people. Just crazyness.

  5. Part of the problem with that is there are pitches the computer would call strikes that do not look like strikes when watching them.

    I.E the hard breakers that technically might hit the bottom of the zone, but the pitch bounces before the catcher gets it. Hell, you could throw a floater that technically crosses the zone, but no one in their right mind would call a strike.

    I umpire HS ball and at the varsity level, it is almost as much about how good the catcher makes it look as well as where the pitch is. If that catcher frames that inside pitch, I will give it to him, but if a bad catcher is jerking the glove or slapping at the ball, he's not getting it.

    The batters could adjust I guess to anything touching a given zone being called a strike, but that is not the way the pitches are seen currently.

    I guarantee you if you polled the majority of players, and asked if they wanted a computer calling balls and strikes, the NO's would win. I'm not saying it is the human element argument. The whole "it's the history of the game" nonsense, but I bet most players would want to have umpires calling the pitches.

  6. I know what you mean Zorbo.

    I am a huge Rangers fan and was watching that last night and couldn't believe it either. The umpire's zone was fairly tight all night as well.

    I'll take it, but we definitely got a gift to get out of that game like that.

    Tonight we get to see what our 5th starter can do. It's definitely a crap shoot.

  7. Anyways, Day 4 of the MLB today and I can't wait to see how Jake Peavy is going to do against KC. I've got him on my fantasy team so I'm hoping he does well and continues what he did last year. It sucks that Yu couldn't get that last out yesterday, I love how he had a smile on his face kinda suggesting that he wasn't that upset about it. I honestly didn't think he was going to do amazing this year, Hudson you might have gotten an extremely good pitcher this year in the second round of the draft :lol:

    Oh yes. I predicted Yu would have a break out season. I was so upset he didn't pull off the perfect. But congrats to him for taking it in stride.

    And anyone who plays the astros should be excited. 43 k's in a 3 game series. Yikes.

    I think a Perfect Game should be worth more than 20 bonus point in pitching. I mean, a save is 15. You should just get like 200 points for a perfect game, almost guaranteed to win that week, because how often does it happen :P

    Gonna be a fun season gents. And I think Toronto will be fine. Just will take some time to gel.
