Re: How often do you eat pizza?

All this talk of pizza had me change my plans for dinner before last nights performance. I was planning to go to Big Star. It's a around a mile from The Hideout. If you want good tacos, beer, bourbon (they even have Pappy Van Winkle), tequila....@ great prices....this is the place in Chicago. Probab...

Re: Good Music and the Other Kind

That's a nice hotel Clint. Pops would take us every year for a couple weeks before Katrina. My wife and I have gone back the last two years.

I know Steve T goes yearly...so, if you need some 411....

Re: MLB 2013

Not sure if it's legal...but the doctor Mr. April went to for a second opinion on his quad said on the radio that he didn't see anything wrong with it. Allegedly Mr. April isn't interested in negotiating a suspension like Braun. He's going down fighting to the end. From the Yankees point of view...t...

Re: MLB 2013

My estimation based on their career stats and before/after with their bodies.

Clemens - 1997 when he joined Toronto
Bonds - 1999
Mr April failed a test in 2003. I would say 2001.

Re: MLB 2013

I have only heard 15-20 being the number of players.

I don't see anyone associated with PED's getting into the Hall anytime soon. The amazing thing is Bonds, Clemens, Rodriguez would have gotten in before they had started.

Re: What TV shows are you watching?

Orange is the New Black is easily the best of all the shows Netflix has released. Loosely based on a real person/events. They really ordered a 2nd season. I liked the first episode. The writing is pretty solid and the lead as well as the supporting cast are all good. I found the scenes outside of p...

Re: MLB 2013

In my family...he's known as Mr. April. A play on Mr. October.

The one year he lived up to the the hype in the postseason is when he was dating Kate Hudson. They won the World Series that year. They broke up and it's all been downhill from there. haha

Re: MLB 2013

With talk of Mr. April possibly being suspended from 100-150 games to banned for life....Yankees are in talks to bring back Soriano with the Cubs paying most of his remaining salary. And all the Cubs get back is a mid-level prospect.

I am all for that if they Cubs are paying for it.

No, haven't done anything with the cookie. Now it's working fine and I haven't changed a thing.

I haven't seen that error either. Did some checking. It's either a server or mod security configuration issue.
