The Malingering Title Overflow Thread That Goes On And On Without Any Real Drive Until It Bores You To Death Like The Cardinals Offense

he's a reformed BB

i don’t think he’s a phony, he’s just a human who’s held to much higher standards than the rest of us because he wears his religion on his sleeves.

i agree, but almost everyone who's wants to be famous

whether they are an athlete, musician, actor or whatever, they are all a little narcissistic. so i don’t think it’s that big of a deal he wrote a book.

just out of curiosity, what would you think if Albert wrote a book? he’s another one that can’t go very long without pointing out his belief’s.

Albert's wife, for instance,

wrote a cookbook. Profits go to their charity. It’s not the beliefs, per se. It’s the beliefs vs. the public/semi-public actions. Albert’s public and private identities are congruent, so far.

I’m not anti-Josh Hamilton. I’d just rather see someone lead by example rather than try to profit off of being a recovered drug addict.

vilify is probably too strong of language.

America is a hell of a lot bigger than it’s Presidents… Who are all moderates, no matter what the people making millions of dollars enraging others against the government say. There hasn’t been a serious change in American political culture since FDR was in office and before that Teddy Roosevelt.

We’ll be fine. America always is.

People hate anyone who thinks they are better than anyone else.

Unfortunately there are a lot of Christians out there who maybe don’t think that but act like they do and for some reason people notice them most, probably because they are the most outspoken group or the group that gives the stringest impression, and so some people categorize all Christians that way. In my experience it is often because they had been hurt before by these attitudes and they are just protecting themselves.

Like someone said if you read the Bible you won’t act like an arrogant dick. But that doesn’t mean you should disown your beliefs because the Bible doesn’t teach that. Sorry if I come of sounding preachy.

"saved by faith alone" can mean many things...

I’m talking about the crowd that thinks charity, service, etc. does nothing to improve one’s moral standing and that as long as you believe you can otherwise be the biggest prick in the world and all will be OK.

But then I’m closer to agnostic these days so why am I arguing on behalf of a certain religious belief? Can’t break old habits I guess.

In the words of Terrell Pryor:
Not everybody is a perfect person in the world. Everyone kills people, murder people, steals from you, steals from me, whatever.

But on a serious note, my disenfranchisement with religion began when I just couldn’t stand the “look at me! I’m religious!”crowd at mass. I frequented the youth mass because its Sunday evening time was convenient. All the hand waving, dancing, and what not just came across as so self centered, watering down whatever worthwhile components of the mass there were. Enough of that week after week and the cynicism grows so big one just can’t take watching these fake SOBs.

i don't blame you

for many people, church has become a place to be seen at & to improve their standing among their friends or people they want to impress. much like Busch III was when it first opened. many people came (and maybe still do) that don’t give a crap about baseball, yet they told anyone & everyone who would listen they went to a Cardinals game just because they wanted to be looked at as cool.

I dont think so

I think the dodgers magic number is one. So, Atlanta its pretty much just between atlanta and colorado.

OkCupid is an online free dating site

I tried online dating once, well sorta. I posted an ad on a site and didn’t even message girls. Than a girl messaged me a couple times and respond. She asked for my phone number. I didn’t really want to give it to her but did anyway. We talked on the phone and she would not shut up. Like an hour and half. It was horrible. I never called her again.

because she’s obviously really desperate and probably has a very low self-esteem and was therefore really nervous and so she talked too much.

Here's the disconnect

When a young male is courting a young female, complimenting her looks sinks his ship incredibly fast. Once the two are in a serious relationship, that’s when the looks compliments are okay (and even a good thing).

We have the second happiest students in the country (and brown only won because they don’t give out grades) so everyone looks pretty happy. I’m really not exaggerating. I hardly ever see anyone look sad walking around campus.

I have mostly morning classes(grr….) so I hope its that anyway. And another thing while we are kinda on this. How can people listen to their iPods without showing any sort of emotion based on the songs.

this is true.

For many reasons. First, if a girl actually IS pretty, she gets told she’s pretty by every loser she meets. Saying “hi you’re pretty” is boring, it doesn’t tell her anything she doesn’t already know, and it just puts you in the same class as every other jerk. You haven’t earned her respect yet, so complimenting her means nothing.

It also makes you look like you want something from her, which (of course you do!) is a put-off- not because you want it, but because you are so incompetent that you have to suck up to her to have any chance. Only a very young person or a person with an incredibly low self esteem would find that attractive.

Once you have a relationship, you should definitely tell her how attractive she is to you. It’s a very important part of the relationship, once there is a relationship. But it’s creepy until you get past that first stage.

here’s the kicker. yes she had that rep, yet when she was with me she said she wasn’t the same girl she was back then. this was 3+years after high school mind you. and she said i wasn’t the type of guy women screw around with so she really wanted to have an adult, clean relationship. btw, i’ve been told something so close to that all my life & i know what that really means. anyway, we were never very, um what’s the term i’m looking for,,,,touchy feely maybe? at all. so she pulls the crap on my bday & i crap you not, less that 6 months later she’s knocked up & has to drop out of collage. the baby’s daddy leaves the state & she has to raise her son all by herself.

but i have no hard feelings. she had major, major issues that i’m not going to get into here & i hope everything worked out for her in the end. she was a good person, she just made bad decisions. i haven’t heard anything about her like i said for the last 10 years, but i hope she’s happy & has a good life.

perhaps adding nothing to the conversation....

There really isn’t a baseball movie I really like. The game has such a grand tradition and so many romantic notions (often associated with childhood) I think its impossible to capture all of them in a movie. I think the only time baseball movies work is when the game is secondary to a a much larger story. Trying to capture the grandeur of the game in 2 hours will just never happen.

(and don’t take this as hating on anyone who enjoys these movies.)

I'm not sure I can rank them

But I really like Major League (I even like Major League 2 OK, it’s not great but there are some amusing parts in there). I like Bull Durham but I think it’s possibly a tad overrated. I like Mr. Baseball way too much even though I know it’s not a particularly good movie, and I put Rookie of the Year in the same category. The Sandlot is good fun. I’m interested in The Rookie because it’s based on a true story and it has Dennis Quaid, who forms an awesome dude triumvirate of sorts in my mind along with Kurt Russell and Patrick Swayze (RIP).
I’ve always been sort of “meh” on Field of Dreams. Dunno why, maybe I just need to go back and watch it again or read the book again. Never seen The Natural and probably never will. Seems too maudlin for me to care.

That's not cheesy or weird.

Lights didn’t explode for no reason. There wasn’t some weird lady creeping around.
I mean For Love of the Game is kind of cheesy but the Natural took it too far. And plus in For Love of the Game there’s the love story going on too and I know there’s a love story in The Natural but it isn’t focused on as much.

it wasnt for no reason the ball crashed into them

which i have seen happen in a high school game i was coaching. it wasnt quite the same as far as the pyrotechnics are concerned but it did blow out the other two light on the same pole. plus you have field of dreams on your list and it involves ghosts coming out of the corn and the sandlot has a dog chase kids all through town after he steals their babe ruth baseball. I like all of these movies too but the natural is not any more cheesy than the rest on your list and at least Redford has a nice swing in it.

I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?

Maybe not.

But more than that it’s weird. It’s weirdness makes it seem more cheesy I think. I just can’t get over the weirdness and it makes it seem forced.
I don’t doubt lights would explode if a ball hit them that’s not what I meant. I really meant the fireworks and then all of the other lights exploded or at least that’s what I remember, all around the stadium, not just on the same standard.

the book was a lot darker than the movie

viciously so, actually. I read it once and will never look at it again.

I love the movie, primarily because of the relationship between the boy and his father. the romantic bits were silly, but it was the 80’s…

it's Clydesdales vs Goats. Actually sums up Cards vs. Cubs quite nicely. -all4tookie

It may be all of those things

but I still love the movie if for nothing else it has Redford, Wilford Brimley, Richard Farnsworth, Glenn Close and Kim Basinger in it.

 Compare that movie to some of the really BAD movies out there and that one is pretty good. It’s more of a case where it could be a whole lot worse.

I actually remember liking that movie

But it’s been years since I saw it. It’s a nice reminder of the simpler times when Tom Hanks was really funny, when Rosie O’Donnell was funny and when Madonna didn’t freak me out. and I actually have always really liked both Geena Davis and Lori Petty.
So I have no idea how I didn’t think to bring this up since apparently I remember it quite well. No use crying over it though, since there’s no crying in baseball.
I love the scene where Tom Hanks it taking some whacks with the old pitching machine and finally hits a long one. For some reason I think it’s a great scene.
