    Episode 7x20 - Wolfe In Sheep's Clothing ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

    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...

    Episode 7x19 - 'Target Specific' ***CONTAINS SPOILERS***

    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...

    Eric/Calleigh romance - why we dislike it. **spoilers**

    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...

    Leverage - new TNT series

    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.

    Baseball #2

    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.

    November 11

    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...

    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...

    What Are You Reading? - #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...

    How Much is Gas Where you Live?

    When I filled my car up on Friday it was $2.25, on Saturday it dropped again to $2.19. I was talking with my father and he said it had dropped to $2.09 in some parts of the state. (Arkansas, btw.)

    *shakes head* It's a shame that some people feel they need to act like that. Anyway, on to happier things: Congratulations to the Phillies, 2008 World Series Champions! :D Yay!

    It's still rainy in Philly? When I said I hoped the WS wasn't over too quickly, this isn't quite what I had in mind. ;) Exactly. Every Major League team out there has at least a few of 'those kinds' of fans. Heck, any sport/team be it MLB, NFL, NBA, NASCAR, etc. has those kinds of fans. I try...

    I also feel bad for the fans who aren't doing those things. It's a shame a few bad apples are making the rest of the Phillies fans look bad. Throwing things at people and harassing players' families ? That disgusting and they should be ashamed.

    The World Series, it's never boring is it? lol Last night's game was insane, I kept thinking that they'd surely call the game any time, but I can certainly understand why they didn't (postpone) until the score was tied. I'm not a Rays fan at all (I don't care for some of their players or their...
