    For an underground storage system, that's nothing new. All household sprinkler systems freeze in the winter, even after being properly excavated. The pipes are trying to take in the water, but since we are consistently floating around the freezing mark, they are backing up.

    Problem is like any drainage system right now. It is filled with snow and ice which is preventing the water from draining into it. Instead the water is sitting on top of the ice and snow since it is still so cold.

    Non-displaced means that it's like a small tear in the bone. They'll splint it and it'll heal pretty quick.

    At least Jake, the neighborhood guy for Old Style, is in mid-season form.

    Back to the bullpen? Dempster gives up his first HR of many in 2008.

    She got hungry. Was she infected by the Joker in Batman 1?

    Miller is quite possibly the most boring bandbox in MLB with awful sight lines. Not too mention the non-brick exterior already has been rusted over, looks like garbage. The roof is jimmy-rigged together. And the Brewers play there.

    Yeah there is a reason tailgating is so big before a brewers game. It's because it's the only choice. Miller Park has enough parking spots if 1.25 of the fans drive together. It's ridiculous, but the soil around the stadium is extremely contaminated. The abundance of parking lots are there to have something while the soil goes through stabilization periods to be build able again. To the South, there is a large commercial district. Nothing worth seeing. The Brewery is too far to the North to be called part of the neighborhood. Potawatomi is too far to the East as well. The only decent place around there is Sobelman's and that's still a good walk.

    Neither, Murton's fire crotch.

    actually Cubs.com says it opens at 10 A virtual waiting room will be used for all Internet orders. The virtual waiting room will begin accepting customers at 9:30 a.m. CT on Friday, February 22nd. At 10:00 a.m. Central, customers will be randomly selected from the virtual waiting room to begin purchasing tickets.
  13. MarqPTM
    The tab or window title will change from "Virtual Waiting Room" to "Chicago Cubs Ticketing." If you have a bunch of windows and/or tabs open, just look for the first letter to change from a "V" to a "C," although it will display http://frontline... while it's refreshing. That's what I thought. Did you guys use this strategy for playoff tickets? We took over a computer lab here at school for the playoffs and we couldn't open new tabs. Still got tickets running 32 computers with Firefox and IE running one window a piece.
  14. MarqPTM
    The VWR automatically switches into ticketing if you are selected right? If so, what does the tab title generally change to?
  15. MarqPTM
    Get some Centrum Silver over there, STAT!

    That link has old pictures starting at Page 4. The Murton one is old. Can a brother get some GEOVANY SOTO pictures?

    Sori's checking to make sure he wrote Pie's name on the tag. He'll check his Hanes later.

    Theriot is tired from wind sprints. He will be showing up tomorrow.

    In an old thread on this subject I dug up numerous links that support the idea that sliding into first slows you down, but I am not going to dig them up again. To me, it's common sense. Running through the first base bag will be faster than sliding, every time. The only time one should slide into first is if the first baseman has come off the bag, and is trying to apply a tag. A person may feel sliding is faster, but it simply isn't. And yeah, it's more dangerous as well. Didn't Mythbusters cover this as well? I'm pretty sure they did, and running through the base was much faster. They aren't athletes, but the evidence was still there. The Mythbusters tested sliding into a base versus stopping directly at the base (not running through it), which seems like a huge waste of time to me. Wow, that is a huge waste of time. As was having Clemens come in that episode, can't get good results with a HGH-freak throwing the ball.

    Do you realize how long it takes to feed [expletive] nine months worth of food? Not too mention all the Louis Vuitton manbags he had to pack.

    Any chance Dusty Baker paints caricatures of all the young arms he's destroyed over the years in his Rec Room?
