@Steve: Yeah, I tried to forget about him. Definite DTM. @GopherDay: Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Annie Hall, The Godfather I and II and Rushmore. There's probably about 100 more. @Steve: Ha... No, I didn't, but I wish.

I remember it now. Grey said “I have as much chance of going to Hawaii as Halladay does of tossing a no-no in his playoff debut.”

@Grey: you did . but maybe it was used to set up a hypothetical .

MLB.com are normally pretty lame but I like their Doctober headline today.

@GopherDay:

yeah , well even option #2 seems more plausible than my
“the fix is in theory” , now that the yanks have won game one.

my theory had the morneau-less twins beating the yanks ,
girardi getting fired , and then hired by cross-town rivals , mets ,
opening the door for bobby valentine to get hired as skipper of the
bronx bombers , by christmas time .

@Grey: Yeah...I think the end was actually reality. Because if he had spun the top and it didn't stop spinning he would have freaked before then. Unless he was in the dream and made the top IN the dream. But I agree, the movie was excellent. What is your favorite movie? (If that question is too hard give me a couple of your favorites)

@big o: I think he will. It all depends on whether or not Tampa’s bats come alive. If they do and Shields can keep them in the game I think the Rays could win it. But it is really up in the air. I like the Rangers (Coming from Houston there isn’t much I like about the Dallas area, but I do like the Rangers) and I hope they win and go on to face the Yankees. No way the Twins make it past the Yanks. Just not happening. Then it goes to Rangers against the Phillies in the WS. Lee makes the Phills regret trading him, then they remember they have 2 other aces to make up for it, so they win it eventually.

Option #2: Yankees against the Phillies…Game 7, bottom of the 9th, Roy O comes in relief…against Lance Berkman. An epic “I got traded away from Houston because I’m old” battle ensues.

Maybe I’m just tired…

Shields! I’d forgotten about him. That prick is definitely on my DTM list.

@GopherDay: I thought Inception was great. No idea what happened, but that was half the fun, I suppose. @GopherDay: Yup @Steve: Damn, that's annoying. I hope it corrects itself. @big o: Hawaii? I'm not going to Hawaii. Did I say that? @big o: Rays are falling 0-2.

@Grey: are you really going to hawaii , or were you just bull-shitting ?

@big o: Hah! @Grey: FWIW, email notifications have actually been pretty sporadic today. Was working for a while then stopped. Then started again etc.

@GopherDay: it's all about juxtaposition .

@Steve: nice call on # 135 still suspect your side of the dateline is seeing "stuff" before it's getting to me .

@GopherDay: That's what I think about most Yahoo commenters. Seriously those people are like beyond dumb.

GopherDay — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:22:18 +0000

@Grey: Yeah, no kidding. Someone once said "It's better to keep you mouth shut and let people think you are an idiot than to speak up and remove all doubt."

@Grey: Well the way Netflix works is that they constantly send you movies and you update your queue (List of movies to mail you). You see Inception? What'd you think? I've never messed with Tivo. I have a DVR which does essentially the same thing but with less user interface. It was cheaper and has done its job.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:18:43 +0000

@GopherDay: Yeah, it's probably not happening with Hamilton again because of the injury at the end of the year. Think that was a wake up call for people. Though never underestimate people's intelligence, I think PT Barnum said that.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:17:39 +0000

@Steve: Ha... It's not post ASB,now I guess it's postseason. @GopherDay: Yeah, I see most movies in the thetater that I want to see, but I could see maybe having them mail me one occasionally. My stupid Tivo has stopped recording with my new video setup which is super annoying.

By: GopherDay

GopherDay — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:17:05 +0000

Watch, Tex and Grandy will have monster post seasons and will be drafted high again and will disappoint…again.

Please no one mention Josh Hamilton as a first rounder….I’ll be having de ja vu to the max and will need serious help.

@Steve: How about a season too late?

By: GopherDay

GopherDay — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:13:59 +0000

@Grey: Yeah, that's what it is really good for. And if you are ever bored you can just browse through the movies online and find a random movie to watch. I've done that and have been pleasantly surprised. As you go along and rate movies you've seen, Netflix will start suggesting movies for you to watch. I've found a couple of good ones this way. I use the mail-in DVDs to just put movies I want to see, that aren't available to stream. If I really want to watch a movie I just run to a red box and rent it for the night.

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:10:58 +0000

A week too late, Tex.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:07:34 +0000

@GopherDay: Yeah, I'd probably use it more for full seasons of shows because those are the kinds of things you don't want to wait for a new disc in the mail.

By: GopherDay

GopherDay — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:05:49 +0000

@Grey: I think it is. I have the 1 DVD at a time package that's really cheap and just put any movies I want to see there. But that lets you stream all their online stuff. You can't stream any movie, but a lot of them are available to stream. They have a lot of TV shows you can stream instantly and that is REALLY nice. They have all the Office seasons up there right now (except season 6 so far), so I watch those occasionally. I watched all of Arrested Development. I'm not a huge movie guy, but there are lots of movies I like. And from what I can tell you are into a little more obscure stuff and Netflix does have a lot of it.
