Valverde should be shot after what happened last nite. Cooper should be fired if he puts him in again tonight. Unbelievable.

there were a lot of different demographics (ie: not just the people you would expect to live downtown)
What kind of people would you expect to live downtown Jax?

USS Indianapolis (CA-35) was a Portland-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy. She holds a place in history due to the notorious circumstances of her demise, which was the worst single at-sea loss of life in the history of the U.S. Navy. After delivering critical parts for the first atomic bomb to be used in combat to the United States air base at Tinian Island on July 26, 1945, she was in the Philippine Sea when attacked at 00:14 on July 30, 1945 by a Japanese submarine. Most of the crew was lost to a combination of exposure, dehydration, and shark attacks as they waited for assistance while floating helplessly for several days. Indianapolis was the last major U.S. Navy ship sunk by enemy action in World War II (the submarine USS Bullhead was attacked by Japanese aircraft with depth charges and sunk on August 6, 1945).

Dramatizations of the Indianapolis sinking and aftermath have been adapted to film, stage, and television. The most famous fictional reference to the Indianapolis occurs in the movie Jaws in a monologue by actor Robert Shaw.

A lot of commercial places produced them. Just another form of advertising.
July 29th, 1945
"Greetings from back home Billy! Were so glad you decided to serve your country in this war after what those japs did to us at Pearl Harbor. So how do you like your new home aboard the USS Indianapolis? We know how afraid you are of sharks honey but don't worry, you're safe on that ship. Well write back soon, hope you enjoy this postcard with a picture of a warehouse!

Cool, lets finally raze that pathetic excuse for a park @ market square, where I watched my Astros get swept in the world series on a giant balloon.
I'd rather see a surface lot there. . .

Before we could be fully seated, the employee said there is no beer or wine. I was stunned and asked if they just didn't get the license YET. She responded "The owner is very religious and said that we aren't going to get a license because it is against his beliefs"

Man I wanted to go to last nites game so damn bad, I just KNEW it was gonna be a killer game. I was the loudest dude in my building watching it on fsnHD though, I guarantee you that. Man oh man, when Berks hit that first homer I was yellin but when Lee hit that second one I nearly spit my Bud Light out!

I made a (drunken) remark about someone bumping into me with a stack of dogs on him. Aside from his being rude (he was a yankee)
Hey, I was starvin' and you need to watch where you're goin' ya southern fried jerk!

It's going to be a long season. At least the new hot dog grill cart is one section over from my seats. Not feeling the love yet, but they finally pulled Woody, so reason is prevailing somewhere. Did anyone happen to read the Houston Press story last week? The rules for their drinking game were a hoot. I'm encouraged by Towles and Bourn. Tejada and Lee, not yet. And of course we have the distinction of probably being the only team with a star out on DL for something called "anal fissures". I also have a bad, creeping intuition that Pence will be on the DL a lot. It's funny watching his fans. A group of about 6 pre-teen girls were in front of us for the Indians pre-season game, carrying on like he was on American Idol or something. My BF has a total man-crush on him. That said, I'm glad it's finally baseball season. Go 'Stros! edit. Tigers, not Indians. As if it mattered. We lost 10-0.
Well alrighty then!

Anyone know if a 3-month old will need a ticket? I'm hoping not, it's not like she would sit in a seat.
No, babies are free. Just don't let her get hit by a flying bat.

To the OP, as far as the title and description of this thread, 1. By definition all teams only have one Ace pitcher. 2. Roy Oswalt has been our worst pitcher on the staff. He has given up 21 hits in 12 innings and has a 6.00 era. But it's early. the bright side is the rest of the starting staff has looked good and are exceeding most peoples expectations. Though this has not translated into wins yet, as we have faced some tough starting pitching to start the season especially in San Diego thus they have not scored enough runs to make the game easy. Lets see how they do at home. I hope Oswalt is not injured

I probably won't be going. Soon I hope though. I started to think I was kind of falling out of love with baseball until this morning. I overheard Owen Conflenti say the Astros made a comeback so I rushed to the tv, just in time to see Berkman hit his "screaming" home run over the centerfield wall to take the lead, and without even thinking others were still asleep, I yelped a jubilant "yeah!" and then I knew I was back, haha.
Werd. Even with Tejada on board now I think Fat Elvis is still our best player
-
Well, we're 1-2 against the Padres to start the season out. Berkman smashed a towering 3-run homer to win our first game of the season, but Tejada still looks a little cold. Hopefully the bats will heat up a little in Chi-town before opening day at MMP. Anybody goin?

Forgive me, but are you being sarcastic?
Why in the world would we be sarcastic about this awe-inspiring monument of modern architecture? Santiago Calatrava himself would marvel at its earth-shattering brilliance.

They've just installed some windows on HOB. They're dark and very sleek looking, I approve. Sorry, no pics.

As an aside, I've met and played a few good games of Risk against one of sons of the Levine (pronounced La-VEEN) family, founders and owners of Family Dollar. Due to his humility and average-guy persona (not to mention his gracious acceptance of world domination at my hands), you wouldn't know the guy was an heir to a multimillionaire. They consider one of my former roommates as one of their own sons.
Well god bless the Levines, they've made many a ghetto family happy

I'd like to see a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour, ShowBiz Pizza (Chuck E. Cheese ain't the same), and a TT&R (Texas Tapes and Records)/Dream Merchant type place open up there.
And while were at it, lets throw in a High Times or Smoke n' Toke
-
Last time I went into a Family Dollar (on Almeda) there were people panhandling in the store.
How else are they gonna get crack?

Whatsa matter, don't like Family Dollar?

I requested a Family Dollar, keep it gangsta

Edit: I gotta give it up to Chacon for that brilliant 8 innings last nite. Unfortunately because of Valverde it was all for nothing.
