Sports - 11 July 2006

Because I sure don't. All you have out there is a bunch of massive muscleheads swinging for the fences. Swinging at a whole bunch of 100 mile per hour fastballs from a picher that is just as huge. Man, I am 31 years old and I gotta say that the game has changed dramatically throughout my lifetime. I grew up playing alot of baseball. How many guys do you see choke up on the bat anymore? Not as many stolen bases too. And I could be wrong but it appears that there are fewer sacrifice bunts too. More about power and less about strategy. Just look at a Classic Sports baseball game from the early 80's. Totally different game. Smaller players. But a faster game. The pitchers didn't take 3 minutes inbetween pitches either. There are still a few old school players. Like Ichiro. But they are few and far inbetween. If you like this new type of baseball, all POWER to ya. But I think it stinks.

I have an 8 foot table with three piece 1 inch slate that I've inherited. I need to take it apart and move it. How do I do this? What tools will I need? How do I get the rails off? How many people will need to help me?

Once its arrived at its destination, I'm going to let a professional installer put it together, put new felt on it, and level it.

Williams, 38, has remained free on bail since his April 30, 2004 conviction on four charges stemming from a failed attempt to cover up the fatal shooting at the mansion he owned.

Is it because people are insecure about their own teams? Because they know their team sucks?

The only time a team is really overrated is when T.O. joins the squad and all of a sudden people say they are super bowl favorites...that's just silly.

The Washington Post, more than a month before, got it right ;-)

From The Washington Post - World Cup 2006 special edition, Wednesday, June 7, 2006:

"Despite the distraction of the scandal enveloping Italian soccer and obsessive concerns about playmaker Francesco Totti's recovery from a broken leg, the Azzurri appear to be Europe's best threat to unseat Brazil as world champion. The classically firm back line supports the central midfield tandem of Andrea Pirlo (a free kick master) and Gennaro Gattuso (a nasty enforcer), all of which leads to an attack instigated by Totti and topped by 6-foot-4 Luca Toni and Alberto Gilardino.
Best-Case Scenario: Playing Brazil in the July 9 final.
Worst-Case Scenario: Finish second in the group and play Brazil in the round of 16."

They were wrong about Brazil though. But then again, the whole world was...

I imagine that any such update that will enable the headbutting move for Zidane would be an unofficial patch or cheat.

If not, are there any plans for one to be developed?

It wold be a great addition and would make the game historically accurate.
