d. I like plenty of good pop artisits, but not many of the current ones, and certainly not drivel like Mariah Carey.
This is nuts. Duke is just shooting 3’s as soon as they get past half court… and they’ve hit 3 in a row. However, it looks to be too little too late. St Johns ahead by 13 with 1:30 remaining.

T – if you’re actually turning yellow, that’s definitely something you need to see a doctor about. I know you think the doctor’s office is run by BSPN, but that could be something serious.
lol…You know that Mariah Goes Hard…For some reason I think you bash Mariah like that for the fact that you are infactuated with her. I bet you have a gang of her old CDS in your collection hanging in the your CD racks (Joking)
And Believe It or not… David Justice Got me onto a lot of old Mariah as well as my mom
Look at the Back of Leaf Studio 1991 or 1992 baseball cards it says that his favorite Artist was Mariah Carey
And Look at Tom Glavine’s Leaf Studio Baseball Cards (1991 or 92) and his favorite artist was Phils Collins and Steve Finleys’s favorite artists was Peter Gabriel
And BTW, I have gotten onto some old PJ Harvey, good stuff…Beavis and Butthead got me onto that…
Tomahawkin, you serious about PJ Harvey? She’s brilliant. One of the absolute best women rockers ever, and another of my favorite artists. So there, we have some common ground — you, me and Beavis and Butthead (smile).
I don’t think you are the only one that is concerned, but I think the rest of us are afraid to inquire out of fear it will turn into another round of Oversharing Medical Updates from T’Hawkin
You can’t spell “Tomahawkin” without TMI — jeffrey d
No truer words spoken. Tomahawkin obviously knows he’s providing TMI and doing it to get a reaction. I mean, no man in this forum writes what he wrote at 3:58 p.m. for any other reason. But it’s so absurd, it is actually amusing.
And after making the mistake of reading that, it’ll be at least a couple of hours before I have any appetite whatsoever.

You Damn Skippy! About PJ Harvey and Hip Like Jnk is good shyt…!
Actually, the one’s trying to re-write it are those who claim how great he’s been – except for the one season. Still think he hasn’t been much except for one season. Lew
Bull. he was in the top 10 of MLB CFers three years in a row. nothing to rewrite on that score. He had one elite year and 2 other good ones relative to all other CFers. That’s a long way from never having been any good like many of y’all claim.
Tomahawkin, DOB wasn’t really putting me on blast, but whatever. He was just speaking the truth that a lot of those geek fantasy/prediction magazine writers speak out their asses and probably go by what they can pull up on the internet.
BOOOOOOOOOOORING!! Need some damn baseball to get this blood pumpin again.
Two big keys for me is Jurrjens and Nate. I see the rest of the crew holding their own, but if those two can shine we’ll be flyin high.
Today felt like early spring. Is there anything better than that kind of weather, especially after a long winter? Too bad temps are supposed to drop again here soon.
If you’re ever here in RICHMOND [take note Ms. ROGERS] I highly recommend “WILD GINGER.” An upscale Asian cuisine restaurant in the MIDLOTHIAN area. My fourth visit. We had “small dishes” of mussels, broiled calamari, cerviche, sunshine shrimp, and broiled shrimp with rice. Outstanding. Plenty for a group of four. Reservations recommended. Great bar if that is your proclivity. Definitely not O’TOOLE’S. No peanut shells on the floor.
I’m betting Hanson has a breakthrough year. Once he learns to stop nibbling and attack more he’ll be in the Cy Young talks every year probably. He should be more polished this season.
