baafly's getting himself in a twit:

The US will survive through mergers and acquasitions.

What the hell are "acquasitions"? And no, the U.S. will not survive. It is crumbling. The whole infrastructure is crumbling. Investors have lost faith in corporate banking in America. On TV, they showed reporters trying to…

But if you were an athelete like Yabits and I, you'd understand...

Well, I lettered in basketball and soccer in my high school days and played on my university's soccer team, so I guess I could consider myself an athlete.

And if I use your curious reasoning that stats don't…

The daily news consists of political gaffes, food scandals, and parents killing their infant children. Shameful !

Well, you know what they say, "No news is good news" or "Bad news is news". But in general, human nature states that society flocks to scandal, gore, death and destruction. It is…

Good post nigelboy. Rumors from a credible teammate who actually worked for their money would be deemed credible. Rumors from a player who stunk and wants to point fingers at others for their ineptitude are just what they are: RUMORS. Seems like one poster in particular (bafly, aka horefell*) seem…

According to this post, eggs in the U.S. are on average $2.18 now for a dozen. But wait, isn't the average price for ten eggs about 158 yen ($1.47). Now if we calculate that rate for a dozen eggs, we come to $1.76. That my friends is a savings…

Wow! Things never seem to change. Westurn's comments are always a good read for a laugh. I come back from the States (Thank god I did, cause I've been losing a ton of money), and I see this:

Hell a Budweiser goes for $1.89 a can in Tokyo !!! I…

A bad outing by Daisuke. Seems like he was trying too hard to be cute and nibbling at the corners again. Although I didn't know this tidbit:

Matsuzaka had coldlike symptoms throughout the day and didn’t feel good. Francona said he only planned to use him for five innings no…
