Ouch. Throwing the bat is a big problem for the t ball kids who are just learning to play. I coached my sons team a few years ago and I took a few thrown bats to the shins. Probably the worst sports related injury was when I was 16 playing travel baseball. I think we were playing out in Batavia and I was pitching and took and line drive off my ankle. I was able to retrieve the ball and throw the runner out at first...and then the pain came. I hobbled off the field, removed my cleat and sock and you could see the impression of the stitches from the ball on my skin. I was positive that it had to be broken, but x-rays were clean. Still with only two weeks left in the summer, my season was over.

In other words, we as a country chose the turd sandwich (twice) over the giant douche. Mmmmm tastes good.

Wow, nice. If you take it I guess you'll have to align yourself with the Blue Devils in the other great Triangle sports rivalry.

Imagine that. Blasphemy!

I had a similar injury as a pitcher in high school. A comebacker that I tried stabbing with my bare hand and bent my thumb back. Ouch.

My wife was dead set against moving here almost 12 years ago, and she still loves Buffalo and has her moments when she misses it a lot, but I'd have a hard time getting her to move away from this area now. I think Raleigh topped the Forbes list this year for best place to raise a family and other towns near here like Apex, Cary and Holly Springs have made it to similar lists in recent years.

Nice. Cost of living here obviously much cheaper than Boston. I'll bet you can almost smell the roasting baby flesh....

Let the OBD meddling begin!

Thanks, interesting read. The "why you tank graph"

Hopefully only the beginning of tossing out all incumbents.

Sabres last game in June was 6/1/2006.

IWSI is the lucky song!

Switched to Steel Panther on sound for this OT. "It Won't Suck Itself" on now...

Noticed the same thing.

Cheers.

Now that's some good ######.

Kings in 4. I like the sound of that. When your team is out/irrelevant, then root for the greatest possible suffering of remaining teams. F 'em all.

Nothing shameful about it.

I was sitting right next to him watching a Sabres game when his very livid FIL called him after he finally realized the joke. After he hung up he was in tears from laughing so hard as he told me the whole story.

I have a friend who was an Army Ranger and he ended up with back problems that was to require surgery. He has an overzealous father in law who would always claim to know the top doctors in any field. The FIL kept hounding my friend about the name of the doctor who would be performing his surgery so that he could "ask around" about his reputation. So my friend gets fed up with his FIL and finally tells him that a Dr. Mengele will be his back surgeon....and the FIL believes him and goes around to a few of his doc friends asking their opinion on this spine surgeon Dr. Mengele.. :lol:

We are going to pick a damn good player at #2. I really don't care which one it is.

I'm liking 5 picks in the top 35.

LA has won more recently therefore I must root for the misery to continue for fans of the NYR.

The guy who took over running our Y Guides tribe this year always schedules our dad meetings at Applebee's. Meanwhile there is an awesome craft beer bar not 100 yards away in the same plaza. I friggin hate Applebee's.

You've realize that you've engaged in debate with someone who somehow has managed to equate the NRA with Al-Qaeda, right?
