Brand new series of Chuck just started over here, glad I accidentally flipped through the channels and found it

**** limit holdem players

why?

Its the only live poker option I have in minnesota and I'm running godawful down 30 big bets in less than 3 hours.

Ha, nice.

I didn't have a good joke answer, so went with what I thought might get a couple points (Oprah usually sheeps in the "someone you'd do who most people wouldn't") questions. Alice laughing at it as soon as I IMed my answers wasn't a good sign. Should have known the pedos would take it...

Totally correct. All the calls for the umpire's head, the claims that it was the worst call in baseball history and all, are silly. The first baseman's foot was moving laterally as he caught the ball and it didn't plant squarely on the bag right away, and it's easy to see how that could fool the ump.

Heck, from what I've read I gather the strike call on the last pitch of Larsen's perfect game was worse.

With the greatest player of my lifetime retiring I thought I should post a little about Griffey.




'The Kid' has never been linked to steroids in any way and still finished his career 5th on the all time HR list.

If he didn't suffer so many major injuries during his career (approx 392 career games missed due to injury or 2.4 seasons) he would probably be chasing Bonds right now and would be atop the discussions as the greatest player to ever take the field.

There has probably never been a better defensive outfielder considering the 10 gold gloves he won, 2 less than both Clemente and Mays, but in a much better defensive era.

He was my favorite player of all time and I going to miss being able to watch him.

wow you scared me there for a second when i thought halladay was retiring

lol Halladay isnt even in the same paragraph as Griffey wrt players of our lifetime.

I just learned something. Halladay is a Mormon.

This is so wrong, I can only assume you don't know anything at all about baseball

he also said if he had to choose an NL pitcher for the rest of the season halladay would be 3rd on his list

so i am working under the same assumption as you sir

Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling, Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez are all probably considered to be better pitchers from this generation (90s, 00s) than Halladay and that's just the pitchers off the top of my head.

I know all of those pitchers that you listed and I'd agree that they probably are better but imo Halladay isn't in their generation.

All those pitchers are ~10 years older than Halladay, so it's not really a good comparison

And, he played in Toronto, so was obviously ignored a lot

Halladay is 33 and still active. All the guys you named are retired (pedro sort of)

If those pitchers and Halladay aren't in the same generation then Griffey and Halladay aren't in the same generation either

No, but they did both play during our lifetime, which was OTI's post

Okay, so I believe that as of now Halladay isn't in the same league as Griffey + those pitchers I mentioned + obviously some others, although he certainly could be by the end of his career.

Oh, well you're wrong too, then

Someone's a Toronto homer
