Sports - 11 August 2007

I know a lot of people want to get into this country, but why always India, and why do they target martial arts schools and tournament promoters (I'm both a school owner and promoter and I get several of these scams per year.)

Has any one else had experiences with these groups? Is it strictly an American phenomenon or are European school targeted too? What do the scamers get out of it besides US visas?

So, what team do you think is the worst right now? I don't mean by record, I mean by as a team in general.

With me, I'd have to say the San Francisco Giants. San Francisco has been terrible this year! They're in last place in the NL West, 16.5 games back of Arizona! Here's some more stats to prove my point:

28th in runs scored

25th in hits

24th in home runs

29th in runs batted in

24th in on base percentage

29th in slugging percentage

27th in batting average

Their pitching isn't horrible. Noah Lowry (12-7, 3.32 ERA) and Tim Lincecum (6-3, 3.88 ERA) have been pretty good this year. Although, they do have some problems. Matt Cain (4-12, 3.77 ERA) has done well, and Barry Zito (8-10, 5.16 ERA) has been a bust as far as I'm concerned.

So, in your opinion, what's the worst team?

I just read that aspirin helps you run by thinning your blood, and helping oxygen travel faster so you can run better? I can't find any reputable sources that confirm this though..so i'm asking for any links that people can give me.

I usually don't like to take anything when I run, but I have soccer tryouts monday, and lately i've been running really stiffly, and just going slow because of it so I figure I will take some sort of painkiller, but would Aspirin help me extra?

I have Bayer Aspirin, Tylenol max strength 500mg, and meijers ibuprofin

Links-good sources, any more information no this ASAP would be awesome

Thanks

I'm going into eighth grade this school year and I missed tryouts. So I figured that I would wait until high school. I've been doing tumbling for awhile and can do splits and stuff like that, but I have absolultely no knowledge of cheerleading. Think I could make it? If so, any tips?

I have a small boxing background , now I am trying to incorporate ( in order first to last ) Tae kwon do , Aikido , Ju Jitsu , Mauy Thai , Kali into my arsonal . If I Train 3 months on each style is it possible to take away what I need from each one. Then make the transition into training one on one with a MMA sparring partner. If not how long should I train each one ( minimum time ) until I can be good and remember what I learned and know egnough to consider myself rounded in that style.

A recent question asked what major league player never yielded a grand slam. Since it did ask for "player" and not "pitcher" there are a great many men who qualify as an answer, and I blithely noted "every non-pitcher" in my reply.

Mea culpa, I've since recalled one player (there may be more but this one I know of), typically an infielder, who was called to the mound once in his major league career and managed to serve up the big helping of salami. I'll even add it happened in the mid-1990s. Name the "pitcher", the grand slam batter, and the final score of the game (or I'll accept the box score).

What counts:
Physical Challenge
Competition

What doesn't count:
Mental Challenge
Losing Weight
Environment difficulties

Why Doesn't it count:
Mental Challenge: It is pretty hard to concentrate for that long, but we don't consider gamers a sport.
Losing Weight: Yes, you loss a lot of weight during a race because of how much they sweat. I am a wrestler and we constantly checks our weight. From my experience, I know that you can loss weight just by sitting and do nothing. Its because of their clothing, it acts like a sweat pants and jacket.
Environment difficulties: Its their own fault driving in summer heat, why don't they switch it to winter. People are considering the heat like they must drive in it.

What counts:
Physical Challenge....ummm don't think so unless you count moving those steering wheels physical
Competition, there is competition in any racing

so i ask my friends, "why do you like nascar?"
Answer: awesome crashes, drunk girls, and beer.
AWESOME!

I'm not a Dolphins fan, I'm an Eagles fan, but I'm curious how you guys feel. I mean, as taxpayers (the whole country I mean), we rightfully have PAID for those home games to be possible, because that money has gone into building the stadiums. So when a home game gets canned for an overseas game, I wouldn't be happy about that if it were my team, which is why I'm not huge on trying to make overseas games every year. What are your thoughts?
