And why don't some of you take yourselves less seriously?

I second the motion. :)

Glad to hear your family is OKAY!

In Arizona we have a "stupid motorist law" for those who ignore posted warnings about floods and still try to drive through the flooded area. They are responsible to pay fines and for the rescue workers who have to save them.

The same should hold true for those who refuse to leave an area that were given evacuation orders due to an impending threat. They put themselves in harms way by there choice. They should pay for there decision if they need to be rescued.

I think it's probably a bit more complicated in the case of evacuation orders... for some people anyway.

With the stupid motorist law, the situations are significantly simple, cut and dried (pun intended) and therefore not likely to generate legal challenges to the assessment of rescue costs.

Did earlier what Pawtucket suggested. So far so good.

Just now had to RE-log in.

Just tried it...

Will let you know how it works out...

They were about ready to crucify Yost last year after leading the division most of the year and then flopping the last month or two of the year, so I guess they weren't going to let it happen again this year...

EGGs-actly.

Yep, Yost is TOAST.

The remedy was short lived. I again had to RE-log in.

I used to "time out" every once in a while, but I'm careful to refresh a window while I'm

composing long posts now, so that doesn't happen.

If your Firefox configurations are set to "refuse cookies" you may have trouble with

messageboards. I had accidentally set that, and was wondering why a different

board wasn't letting me log in. I figured it out when I checked my settings.

I understand that concept... that's NOT the case with me...

The good news is that I did NOT have to RE-log in this time. So, maybe someone here at GSC fixed something...

Apparently Galveston and Houston got hit VERY hard.

Ex10 is without electricity... might be a long time before it's restored.

Like Krys said... prayer, not just for the short term...

I didn't get logged off while I surfed the Cafe a few hours ago. I'll see what happens during this go-round. :)

It's still happening to me. <_<

When the format changed over, I had to relog in about 5 different times for about three days; now for whatever reason it is stable again!!!

Hopefully it will be soon for me too. :)

Doojable said the same thing last night. I don't get logged out while on the forums like she does, but the "Remember Me" thing seems to not work all the time. I have to reenter password at least twice a day when I open the greasespot bookmark using IE. Mozilla seems to keep the cookie just fine.

I use (Mozilla) Firefox exclusively.

It seems that I have frequently been getting logged off or out when going into one of the forums here.

Is it just me?

You are in Our prayers EX10 with all the other hurricane victims[/SURVIVORS]!!!

We love you!

Wow... how did YOU find out about the YouTube clip?

Isn't it possible to send an email to the Sox about it?

Micah Owings, one of the "players to be named later" in the Adam Dunn trade, hit a pinch hit double for the game winning rbi against the Dbacks in Phoenix (in extra innings) tonight.

It serves the Dbacks right for giving up on Owings.

Wow... Kimberly.

Please share with us some of what your sons report to you after the game! :)

For you history fans Sports Illustratedthis week has an article linking baseball to England in 1755...

So there you have your first baseball review. Being from England Im sure that the Origins researchers are having a great time with it.

Who would have ever figured that the first baseball names would be

"Miss Molly Flutter" ?

or "Jelly"?

What Great baseball names! ---bet they couldnt hit the breaking ball though.

Okay... the journal uses the expression "base ball." But do they know whether the game he named has any resemblance to what started in the US in the 1800s?

........yawn........ :)

Is he REALLY 22-2?

btw, Webb FINALLY got his 20th win of the season... but the Dbacks (but NOT Webb) ALMOST blew it again. Webb pitched 8 shutout innings.

Default looks more like Denim to me...

I have only two choices and neither looks like it used to for me.

I used to see various shades of brown.

Well dont Forget Yogi

"In baseball you dont know nuthin"

and

"It aint over til its over"

Im not saying things will change.. its probably not likely---but you never know

...the Mets and Rocks had completely unpredicatble finishes just last year

Im sure its especially hard after tough losses like that,

but you never really know----baseball can change on a dime

Good Luck

Well, fret not. My pessimism about the remainder of the Dbacks' season will not be the determining factor. If they get it together, I'll rejoice with and for them... I'm not going to hold my breath, however.

Sorry there Rock

thats about the worst day of the year for me.

I'll lift a beer in your direction tonight....

How over is over?

over over?

Now 3 games behind the Dodgers, after now losing 6 in a row, two of which they had engineered 9th inning come from behind rallies... one to tie, the last one to go ahead. They couldn't finish off the GIANTS. 0-6 road trip.

I'd be VERY surprised if the Dodgers fell apart and the Dbacks came back to life to make the playoffs.

That's how over over is. (yes, it's sad, but no, I'm not overly depressed about it).

Yeah, Francona's line in there's pretty good.

btw, the Dbacks season ended today. They lost their 6th in a row and second in a row in which they had come from behind. Last night, they got a two run HR to tie in the top of the 9th, only to lose to a walk off hit in the bottom half.

Today, they came from behind 2-1 with a two run triple in the top of the ninth only to lose to a walk off two rbi hit.

RIP 2008 Dbacks... :(
