While rare and impressive, a perfect game is a one off, whereas the Triple Crown is the culmination of an an entire season's worth of offensive production, and an even harder feat to achieve. But the way Matt Kemp is hitting the ball, we could see the first Triple Crown winner in a generation.

Erm, yeah....how about Phil Humber?

10,000 empty seat today? How's that working out for ya, Randy?

Yep, eventually players would learn. You'd probably have a months full of games where they finish 5-3, with 4 penalties and it finishing 6v6 though. Growing up watching American sports, it came as a real shock when I saw how much abuse referees get from players in English football. If you told an official to "**** off" over here, you'd be kicked out of the game on the spot, maybe even fined.

He was the drummer/singer for a group called The Band back in the 70's. They had a few big hits, including the song I linked, recorded live and made into a film by Martin Scorcese.

Another great talent gone

Opinion is mixed on BV....everybody basically agrees he talks too much, and too loosely. And if you do that in Boston, you're gonna get in trouble. And he has. But people didn't take too kindly to Pedroia's comments about "That's not how we do things here"...people think he was stepping out of line...and really, the way they've been "doing things" the last few years has been a joke, so Pedroia's name has taken a knock, too. The consensus is is that the players will view BV as a lame duck, as he's only on a 2 year contract...If they brought in a LaRussa type on a 5 year deal, players would have to respect that. It was a miscalculation by the FO to hire BV as a "bridge" manager...unless they just wanted someone to take attention away from the fact that the team isn't going to contend for shit for the next couple of years.

Any chance you guys want Piers Morgan and Martin Bashir back?

Granderson 5/5 with 3 HR's tonight :shock: Gave my other fantasy team a real shot in the arm

Always put one in the brain

Some fantastic American Civil War photographs Just scroll down the page

I've been banging the Umbro drum for years...would love an Umbro kit for Villa again

Not only did Lerner appoint him, he PAID for the "privilege"! :shock: :x :evil: :bonk: :eek: :wow:

utterly lacking in context and can only help propogate the 'you started it first' 'no, you did' 'no, you did' quality of debate this usually kicks off (for the record, both the Israeli's and the Palestinians deserve to be treated as humans with rights, families and aspirations) The Army suspended him today, so the brass deemed him to be in the wrong...seems cold cocking someone in the teeth with your rifle is considered bad form even by Israeli Army standards...

Uh-oh :shock:

A tip of the hat to the doctors...pretty amazing that he walked out of there today...

Apparently just a gag by the designers...the characters will be human

Just got this email from a friendly Nigerian chap: Good day, It is by the grace and favor of God that I?m sending you this inheritance opportunity, my names are Osman Kwankwache (Kwankwache legal Chambers), I am the solicitor to Late Dr. Lloyd John Old, from San Francisco USA, he was THE CHIEF PROPONENT OF IMMUNOTHERAPY as a means to fighting cancer, he was a scientist, he died on the 28th day of November 2011 in Manhattan. His research focused mainly on deciphering the cellular codes by which the immune system communicates, his discoveries opened a broad field of study and much wealth from research institutions, consultation into ways of marshalling such cells to combat cancer including illnesses associated with AIDS. Dr. Lloyd John Old was informed of his terminal date, he called and instructed me on what to do in respect of his sum (USD$67,000,000:00M) sixty seven million dollars only, paid to him by the Africans researchers in West African States (ECOWAS) through his vault account with One of the bank in Europe, (the banks name on held) for a research and training he conducted for the organization on Cancer, HIV and AIDS. I was privileged to be involved in the integral part of the contract signing and to the end. Due to the seriousness of the illness and short time he has to live, he instructed me and forward copies of the instruction to the bank that these funds shall be inherited by a person or group who will use it for humanitarian purposes and among his wishes are religious ministries, charity homes and identified less privileged persons, this in his wisdom is to acknowledge God?s Grace and Blessings upon his life and also for restitution for his soul before God Almighty. It shall be my pleasure to inform you if you have the interest of this great opportunity to work with me and get this fortune out of the bank, we shall share it 50/50 but it must be confidential between us, no ear supposed to hear this because of my reputation, I am counting on you, all documents that would enable you receive this fund will be forward to you as we shall be in agreement. Remain blessed. Osman Kwankwache (Senior Partner) Kwankwache legal Chambers London, United Kingdom

I think we stay up, but if Lerner and his flunky decide to stick with McLeish, I'll have lost all hope. With him around, it's only a matter of "when" we get relegated... I've been following Villa for 18 years, and this is the worst I've seen things. Bar far the worst. This season was the first time I didn't get the football package on my cable account, because I knew it'd be a waste of time and money. I'm angry that they're pushing me away

I predicted 4-0...should've put some money down

"World Ranking"....the whole thing could be flawed as far as I know...and based on some of the rankings...it probably is.

I primary indictor could be skin tone, as many African slaves mixed with Carib, Taino and Arawak Indians, as well as Europeans. So a huge population of black West Indians have lighter skin than Africans. Same as black Americans. But those that don't have much or any mixed blood will look just like West Africans. No difference.

A lot of them have that wispy sideburn area hair, too. Not an attractive thing. That said, some of the most stunning women I've ever laid eyes on have been Indian.
