So sorry for your loss. We had a vet come to our house at the time. She

made a paw print for us without us even asking. The in-home handled the cremation, too. It's truly a loss of a family member and I think most people recognize that and the mourning process. We're going on 3 years, and still get choked up when we see memories of her pop up on FB.

Just skip it. Use what you're supposed to pay for on-line gambling. You

will make so much more that even if they catch you and charge a penalty, you'll end up way ahead . . . allegedly.

I didn't like that. I was at a game where Mussina was perfect or no-hit the

Yanks through 7 and the Yanks manager, bench coach and two players got ejected for arguing. Mussina was routinely throwing several inches off the plate, unhittable, yet the ump called them strikes. He eventually threw one down the middle by mistake and someone doubled. I was loving it b/c it's rare the O's get a break from the ump against the Yanks, but clearly unfair.

Tennis got rid of the line calls altogether. It's not as concrete for

baseball because the strike zone is supposedly dependent on each batter, Judge having a much different zone that Altuve, for instance, as far as locating a computer box.

That's good to know. With Angel Hernandez gone, I think CB is hands down

the worst umpire in the MLB. Sorry to hear he got one in the face though. Those guys get hit a bunch and seem to bounce back.

I've got no problem with it. Batters need to stop relying on umps so much

and swing the bat. This makes the game infinitely better when umps can't have their own strike zones or no zone at all like CB Bucknor. I hope this is the end of that guy in particular. "My reaction" was simply pointing out that they need to get the bats off their shoulders.

Why not all? I don't like Scotch, but I'm all for Irish Whiskey. Japanese I

don't know much about. However, as it is "International", I am going to include bourbon and other American whiskeys in my celebration.

He's 19. He will get stronger, tougher and more mature. I never thought he

would be at VT more than one year and I really hope he goes pro because he will be really good somewhere next year, particularly if he goes to place that likes to run, like Alabama.

Lesbian Vampire Killers, possibly the worst 20 mins of a movie I've ever

seen, starring a young James Corden. It was a little like a car wreck, you can't help but stop and stare for a bit . . . Totally not worth it.
