That's not the first time Schilling's been involved in one of those... he had a no-hitter working in San Diego when he was with the Dbacks (I forget which year) and the Padres' catcher put down a bunt that NObody expected, so he got the single. Brenly called it chicken-sNit (with an H), but what can you do. Nobody bobbled the ball, however... and the Dbacks still won that game.

Oh come on Simon... you and I have talked about this kind of thing before. Pitchers are typically given the benefit of the doubt in fielding decisions like that... from a fielding perspective that is... it makes perfect sense to me why it should have been ruled a hit. And Sabathia is okay with the ruling... it's Ned Yost that was whining about it... and Joe Morgan and Jon Miller complained about it several times... It was a hit as far as I'm concerned. With the CF the official scorer has more of a judgment call... however, the pitcher getting bent out of shape about it probably wasn't his best move, especially if it took him a while to regain his composure.

Bless your heart (and your physical and emotional health all around)! If you can do that without getting burned out, you will add sooooooooo much to the world and to the lives of those girls. Volunteering at the child crisis shelter, for me is tremendously rewarding... but I only can take one day a week and that's with preschoolers... teen girls are as challenging as life gets. Bless you, bless you, bless you!!! and bless you again. and btw, what you alluded to at the start of your post (the one this afternoon) is ALSO a key coping mechanism for dealing with stress!!! And don't you forget it! :)

Speaking of Pedroia, the Dbacks picked up a used model of the same player today... they got Eckstein!!! That came as quite a surprise to me... I hope he still has plenty of spark and plenty of hustle left in him.

Made YOUR day? That little gal will remember this ALL of her life!

Glad to be of service... you and I are sooooooo alike in many ways...

But then, so should the Dbacks...

Sleep is number one. Do NOT let yourself become sleep deprived. Sleep deprivation will aggrevate every potential problem you face, most significantly, your physical and emotional health. Exercise is also fundamental. At minimum, find time for walking. There are plenty of other possibilities, but those two things are essential.

Yes, but she was out on bail for the charges related to her daughter's disappearance. She was rearrested on the fraud related charges... indeed, locked up for good... that's the idea of throwing away the key...I think!

What does it make my if I don't believe you?

Well ManRam had another Manny evening... at least two HRs and a double... and the Trolley Dodgers finally ended their losing streak.

What's that proverb? Pride goeth before a fall. Ain't that the truth?

I agree completely. Daren Sutton, one of the two Dbacks TV guys (main guys, others fill in when Grace is doing Fox Saturday games) PLAYFULLY got on Scully's case a few weeks ago... but made it very clear it was only playfully, because, as you said (and SUTTON KNOWS) You do NOT disrespect Vin Scully. And Sutton and Grace are VERY playful during game broadcasts...

Hey, at least you still have Vin Scully!

My highest is Leader, with Reformer next highest... my most negative score... PEACEMAKER? I'm shocked! ;)

I don't think those Trolley Dodgers are feeling very lucky these days... they made it 8 in a row and are now 4.5 behind the Dbacks. Manny didn't do half bad tonight... 4-4-4 and scored two of LAs 3 runs. He had two strikes on him with two outs in the 9th. Instead of being the last out, he doubled... only prolonging the agony. Yeah, wasn't she just nominated to be Vice-president or something?

You've got some peacemaker in you also... IMO (not professional opinion, of course).

Casey Anthony arrested on fraud charges

I'm a peacemaker.... (NOT!)

"Baseball is a game of adjustments." I don't know who said it first, but it's said a lot these days. Replay is just one more thing to adjust to... and WE have to adjust to it at least as much as the players and coaches and umpires. And we will... eventually. But I understand the need to vent about it.

It is national, but not with as much emphasis as it must be in your community. How a mother (or a father) could do anything like this is just beyond my comprehension. Imagine how bad Caylee's grandmother must be feeling now.

Here's why you might be interested.

I've never had to deal with anything like bail/bonds, but it would seem reasonable that if he wanted to say "never mind" he should be allowed to do so...

Jim and Hap are correct. Unless you are the person, there's not much you can get, let alone get ahold of quickly... regarding military history that is... Military records, for the most part, are NOT public records available to everyone. And yes, as Rumrunner said, the DD-214 is THE form that has the information you are looking for, but unless you get it from the person him/herself, good luck.
