Couldn't have said it better myself. :thumbsup: The juxtaposition of those opening scenes made the Ryan scenes all the more powerful, in my opinion. It really brought home the severity of Ryan's situation in a big way. (And thank you TPTB for the joy that is an Adam Rodriguez shower scene...

I haven't said this about an episode of CSI: Miami in a long, long time, but I really, really enjoyed last night's episode. It was fast paced, entertaining and held my attention the entire time. It wasn't perfect of course, but overall, I liked it. :thumbsup: I really liked the fact that the...

Before I continue with this post, I'll state that I am not a shipper. As a general rule, I'm against romantic relationships in my CSI shows because they're usually--but not always--handled badly. (NY and D/L I'm looking at you.) So, I'm not coming in here to defend the pairing or tear it down...

Thanks so much! :)

Wow! Thanks for all of the Birthday wishes, everyone. :D I had a very good birthday. *hugs you all*

I love this show! It sort of reminds me of a higher tech newer version of 'The A-Team'. I only watched it to begin with because Timothy Hutton (love him!) is in it, but was thrilled to discover Gina Bellman was in it as well. I thought she was fantastic as Jane on 'Coupling'--the original...

Thanks, Destiny. :) I was going to ask you about the Silver Sluggers, but I see you've got those added now.

I'm not sure if this is one to be added to the list (Destiny, I'll leave that up to you decided since you took the time to post such a comprehensive list), but Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Jon Lester has been awarded the 2008 Hutch Award. The award, according to the linked article, "is given...

Agreed. I think it sounds like a great idea as well. Congrats to the two Rookies of the Year as well to Tim Lincecum. And, may Mr. Score rest in peace.

I live in the U.S., and I remember that when I was a girl you'd see representatives of the Veterans' hospitals and such out selling artificial poppies to pin to your shirt around Veteran's Day. My father--a Vietnam War Veteran--would buy us one every year. I haven't seen them around my area in...

Thanks Jacquie, I thought so. I know his name has popped up in a few places as someone the Red Sox may be interested in, so I've researched him a bit. That and the fact that he's from Arkansas. It may sound silly, but I tend to keep an eye on players from Arkansas no matter what team they're...

Happy Birthday, Tally! I hope you had a great day! :)

Jacquie, is Burnett injury prone too, or am I confusing him with someone else? I'd like to say congrats to Boston's Dustin Pedroia (2B) for winning his first Gold Glove. Other American League players to win Gold Gloves are: P-Mike Mussina, NYY (7th Gold Glove) C-Joe Mauer, MIN (1st time Gold...

$1.94! I actually saw it at $1.94 yesterday! I can't even remember the last time I saw it under $2.

I'm reading Murder on Gramercy Park, by Victoria Thompson. It's the 3rd book in Victoria's Gaslight Mystery series, set in turn of the century NYC. The books' two main characters are Sarah Brandt, a midwife, and Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy of the NYPD. The books follow their adventures in...
