Do they have a bean in their park?....thought so.

I still do not understand how that was made. It's an amazing piece of art.

The problem I have with Grant/Millennium are they are too close to the city and are not your typical quiet parks.

Man Arrested After Pumping Gas Into Imaginary Car

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A Frankfort man was arrested on drug trafficking charges early Sunday morning after he was reportedly pumping gas into an imaginary vehicle. According to the arrest report, Metro Police arrived at a gas station at First and Jefferson streets in Louisville and immediately smelled marijuana coming from Joshua L. Moore, who station clerks contend was filling up an imaginary vehicle.

Officers searched Moore and found "two large baggies" of marijuana and a large amount of Ecstasy. Police said Moore also had a cell phone and a large amount of money, which they said was indicative of trafficking.

Police said that more narcotics were located on Moore when he was being booked into Metro Corrections.

^ What can I say? When you do drugs, sometimes things happen that you just can not explain.


Between the Sox and Yanks, I have to root for the Sox. A Mets fan hates a Yanks fan more than a Cubs fan hates a Sox fan.

Florida is my biggest surprise. They are in first place in a very tough NL East. They have some great young hitters like Mike Jacobs and Hanley Ramirez but look at their pitching staff:
Mark Hendrickson (4-1, 3.82 ERA)
Scott Olsen (3-0, 2.60 ERA)
Andrew Miller (0-2, 9.68 ERA)
Ricky Nolasco (1-2, 5.91 ERA)
Burke Badenhop (0-1, 7.00 ERA)

Who are these guys?

Not to bore you guys with unless facts lol but i have extra innings at home to catch the Cubs games and watched some late game where some dude 6'5 nailed a homer and they started a discussion of the tallest player to ever hit a homer.

You guessed it, Mark Henrickson. I guess the guy played in the NBA too for the Sacramento Kings and was a prospect for the Blue Jays as a field player but moved to pitcher shortly after. lol

Yeah, i'm at work guys and bored out of my mind... LOL

Tank Johnson is in Dallas also. What can you say about it, they probably party the most/best in the NFL.

There is a Northern League team like 15 minutes from me. That team has made national news a few times over the past few years. The signed that Leon guy from the Budweiser commercials and that was on PTI and SportsCenter and they ended up trading him to some team out West for 60 cases of Budweiser beer.
In the .01% chance that Thomas ends up signing with Joilet they will draw amazing attendance numbers both home and away.
