A's are leading Texas 7-3 thanks to Scutaro and Braden.  Dallas has pitched well in Texas.  Will Huston make an appearance as well?  And who shot J.R.?

LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!

swinging early in the count?

sometimes the offense seems to think their job is done if they put up a 6 spot in the 1st inning.

It would be nice to score again.

Just to prove it wasn't a fluke.

The Texas A's eh?

Almost as bad as the Jacksonville Panthers.

Giants game underway

Chances are good that the Nationals will be forever linked to the historic moment when Bonds goes yard for the 756th time - as it's a 4-game series

On an aside, I miss the Expos

Who did shoot J.R.?

I love this game tonight.  I just wish we could have scratched out a win yesterday so that we were only 10 games out rather than 12.  BOOO!

From Mccovey's Chronicles

The Conspiracy Continues
November 22, 1963, JFK shot in Dallas. If you reexamine the numbers for that date - 11, 22 and 1963 - you get an suspicious connection to Barry Bonds.

Month-November: 1 + 1 = 2.
Day-22: 2 + 2 = 4.
Year-1963: 1 + 9 + 6 + 3 = 19

Add 2 + 4 + 19 = 25 BARRY BONDS'S NUMBER!

Coincidence? I Think...NOT!

by IM4Oakgal on Aug 6, 2007 7:39 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

They have a point...

Can anyone verify his whereabouts on the 22nd November 1963? And don't give me that 'twinkle in his father's eye' nonsense!

by OldhamA on Aug 6, 2007 7:44 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

His mother's leg?

Okay, that was wrong of me.

Not really.

I know who J.R. is. I loved Larry in I Dream of Jeannie.

Well for Gawd's sake.

I will invite you to meet my daughter and hangout if you move here. Her birthday is 5/16/84. And she's my YOUNGEST girl. We refer to her as THE BABY.

You sure?

JK but seriously you seem a very mature poster. I would not have guessed that you were the baby's age. I thought you were probably about 28....the same as my oldest girl. And no...you may not room with Oh2.

LOL

It's my foul language.

My youngest girl talks like that too. You'd like her except that she's a Braves fan. She is a grad student at sac state. She works too of course.

SI.com says J.R.'s okay

Except for the fact he's in the Orioles' system.

And who will play J.R

in the upcoming "Dallas" movie?

Yep. Warm and fuzzy... that's me.

IMHO... his wife certainly isn't much of a catch.

He HAD everything

That boy is a turd in my book, always, for what he did to Nicole Kidman.

by paradox on Aug 6, 2007 7:44 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Who divorces Nicole Kidman?

With two adopted sons?

Tom walked away to bang his clueless new booty why Nicole still has to raise two boys without a father.

A man doesn't walk away from his sons like that.  Jesus, married to Nicole Kidman you keep it freaking together in this life, but Tom was too arrogant.  Nothing's ever good enough for some people.

by paradox on Aug 6, 2007 7:52 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Hell who knows

I just have a great deal of trouble respecting a man who walks away from his sons. Nicole has to raise them herself while Tom whistles along with a new trophy.

I just don't like it.  I know better than to judge, but Nicole Kidman!

Somebody mentioned that every team should

intentionally walk him the rest of the year so he can't break the record.  That would be interesting to see.

I would like to see him with the record.

Then why don't you just marry him!

He has over 100 at bats left in the season....

so that'd be some feat. Amusing though.

When "Dallas" hits the theatres

J.R. will be played by the Sweat Hog himself, john Travolta.

Yep. Warm and fuzzy... that's me.

Will Zito fill in for his uncle- Patrick Duffy?

I think he was on that show too.

and I'd vote for Zito.

Dallas-related sidenote:

When I was born, my sister was 5 and my parents crazily let her name me...her favorite TV character was Pam Ewing from Dallas...and there you go.
