Look at the facts:

Cal Ripken:
Ripken's consecutive game streak? Obviously the result of Cal's legendary work ethic. There's no way that Ripken was around steroids. Not in Baltimore. Not when he was surrounded by class guys like Brady Anderson, Manny Alexander and Rafael Palmeiro. Those three guys may have been teammates of Ripken's back in 1996 but Cal had nothing to do with steroids. Cal had nothing to do with Anderson's 50 homerun season. There's no reason to assume that Cal collected more total bases and posted a higher slugging percentage in 1996 than he had in the five previous seasons with the help of anything other than good old fashioned elbow grease.

Tony Gwynn:
In 1988, at the age of 28, Gwynn hit .313. The next year, his average went up to .336 but that blip was followed by seasons of .309, .317 and .317, the last coming when he was 32. But all of a sudden at 33, Gwynn apparently found something that allowed his average to skyrocket to .358. At 34, Gwynn hit .394. At 35, he hit .368 followed by seasons of .353 and .372. But Gwynn wasn't on steroids because there's a completely logical explanation why a 37 year old Tony Gwynn was hitting 59 points better than the 28 year old Tony Gwynn.

Im going to get a new pair of bindings soon, and i've narrowed it down to either the Ride Ex's or one of Flow's binding models. What are your opinions on these?
Do flows hold up ok? Which has better comfort/response?
Thanks!

OK this has nothing to do with last night, because Raycroft actually played half decent. But Seriously, this guy needs to get the hell off our team. He has the worst stats in the whole league and yet we still stick by him? Why does J.F have to torture us so much. I really can't handle the losing anymore. I swear we would be better off putting Clemenson or even Pogge in net right now, it can't get any worse. It really hurts watching this guy let in 2 or 3 soft goals every game. I am just praying that Toskala can come back soon. If he doesn't we are screwed for another whole year.

In my mind, they at least have the most underrated.

CL. BJ Ryan--injured last season, but is dominating when healthy.

SU. Jeremy Accardo--Filled in for Ryan all last season and posted a 2.14 ERA and didn't allow an ER in his first 21 innings pitched.

MR. Casey Janssen--Was last season's set up man with a 2.35 ERA.

MR. Brandon League--Injured last season, can hit 100 mph and was dominant in 2006.

LS. Scott Downs--A lefty specialist who led the AL in appearances and had a 2.17 ERA.

LR. Brian Tallet--Long reliever/lefty with a 3.47 ERA

MR. Jason Frasor/Brian Wolfe--Frasor had a rough stretch but finished strong, eventually posting a 4.58 ERA. Wolfe came on strong as a rookie, posting an impressive 2.98 ERA over 38 games.

Just wanted an outside opinion other than mine.

I would like to learn some sort of self-defense but also a tactical form of fighting. No heavy flip the person/ punch their lights out etc. due to the fact that i have some back problems. I have dance training--> something light on your feet. I've also read about this form of training using a staff, anything of the sort would be great. Thanks for following this stretched out description, but I'm ready for a self-disciplined form of fighting.

PS: I've tried capoeira and liked it a lot but there aren't many places that offer this in my area.

Why is it that I don't know anybody on the NBA rosters anymore execpt the "Star(s)" of the team! What happened to those role players you knew off the top of your head like Charles Oakley, BJ Armstrong, Vinnie Johnson, Jerome Kersey, Mark Jackson, Buck Williams, Mookie Blaylock, Dana Barros, Kenny Anderson, Terrell Brandon, Chris Gatling! I don't, maybe I just don't key up with the NBA like I use too! What do you think............

arrows are usually suppose to snap onto string but when i put on the arrows and pull back the string they just fall off.

is it the arrows or the bow string?

I noticed that in my old bow their was the wire but towards the mddle their was a point where it looked like somone rapped string tightly around it and it got thicker?

cause all the wire looks the same in my new one.

and when I put the arrows on they can like easily slip along the wire?

what do I do?

I'm not hunting.

I'm shooting a target in my backyard.

He wants to play in 2008. He faces charges of lying to the Grand Jury. Will any team bite? He seems a little like Ricky Williams of the Miami Dolphins. He's thinks he's above the law. Hopefully the truth will come out.
