    US Fly Drive

    If you like JFK stuff come to Boston and visit the JFK museum, it's a pretty cool site for history/politics buffs. Plenty of artsy fartsy things to do in Boston as well, and of course the drinking...we just were named America's drunkest city by some national publication Dunno if it's the whole truth, but the beer flows strong here. It's a quick drive to NYC too.

    Top 50 Clubs Since 1991 I scored 32/50 :x
  6. David Wright fractured his finger too? The guys seems like he's always beat up...
  7. The natives are restless on Boston sports radio....if Beckett gets lit up again this friday at home, it's gonna get UGLY....
  8. I thought it started veering towards farce in the last season...I hope they reign in some of their more ridiculous ideas...still, a great show. The chick detective is probably the best character on TV since The Wire...
  9. PBS UK: Sky 166, Virgin Media 243... they show American Experience every weeknight Nice! You guys should check out the Panama Canal episode....
  10. I just saw a great episode of "American Experience" on PBS about the Panama Canal. Extremely well made hour-long documentary. They were going to give up because so many people were dying of Yellow Fever which people believed was caused by unclean living conditions. They brought in some doctor who was convinced it was a mosquito-bourn malady, but his eradication program was considered too expensive, and many didn't even think he was correct in his mosquito theory. Teddy Roosevelt's personal physician convinced him to order that the doctor be given everything he needed to eradicate the mosquitos. He was, and he did. They actually travelled the entire length of the canal, fumigating and pouring oil into puddles and swamps to trap the larvae. They wiped out Yellow Fever entirely, and the project was able to continue. But that was just one amazing aspect of the canal. The actual digging was brutal work, and then the "water stairway" system they devised was just ahead of it's time. Fascinating stuff. It's a shame you guys can't get PBS over there, it's some of the best television we've got here.
  11. Levi, you went back TWO YEARS to dig up this stupid thread? :bonk:
  12. Well, it took all of 4 games in to the season for Ozzie to put his foot in his mouth, saying he "Loves Fidel Castro"...Miami is the LAST place you want to utter those words, and especially when you manage the local baseball team...what an idiot. 100+ protesters outside the stadium today calling for his firing. The Marlins suspended him 5 games....this is going to be a total circus. They hired Guillen to help attract more Cuban-Americans to the games. Woops.
  13. The Cubs are like Villa right now....gonna be a while
  14. You have a decent team, Kurt...and with the Phillies unable to score runs combined with the expanded playoff format, the Mets could squeeze in. You never know.
  15. I'd like to hear something other than P.R. talk and spin from the board. Imagine the surge of goodwill from supporters if they simply sacked AM and admitted they made a mistake...
