Look at this young fresh faced kid. It was a long hard chase to get this card in a PSA 10. 1997 Bowman Chrome International Refractor Edition. There are 6 of these PSA 10's. This card has the usual Chrome technology, but this card is another refractor that gives it that rainbow effect against the light. It is also the International version because it has the home country flag of the player in the background.
Beltre was the last player I would call my favorite. Even when he was not playing well, I stopped to watch every at bat like he was Barry Bonds. If I ever had the chance I would love to ask him the emotions going through his head playing in the bigs at such a young age.
BBREF lists his correct age as April 7 1979. The back of the card shows him as April 7 1978. Adrian was one of the many players to have a false birthdate with the hopes of getting to the bigs early. How impressive is it to play in the majors at age 19? Here is the list of position players. Adrian was the last guy to do it. Min 200PA.

According to BB Ref
Based on WAR, Beltre’s 2004 season was the best in LA Dodger history with a WAR of 10.1. Before Beltre had a WAR > 10 in 2004 the most recent player to do the same was Jackie Robinson in 1949.
Koufax had a 9.9 in ’66, though.
This just in: Koufax was good.

So do you...
have yarn everywhere? and bags filled with half completed projects? and yarn everywhere? and when you see a yarn store do you go in and touch the yarn?

my yarn is currently in a box in my closet…I need to get a better system for storing it. One of these days I’ll actually go through it and organize it. And I brought more with me from Los Angeles. My cat loves it.
I think I have three projects right now; one might not get completed because the person I was making it for I’m not exactly speaking to at the moment.

If I can find a yarn that is Dodger Blue, then I’ll totally take orders.

that an owner of a Bohdi can get any crocheting done.

when he was younger, he was really into wrestling the yarn
he’s kind of gotten over it now, actually. Currently, he’s sleeping on my pants.
I was crocheting my sister a headband for christmas, and one of my parents’ cats went BEZERK. She’s and older kitty…got her in my junior year of high school, so like 8 years old? It was surprising.

Crawford on getting the offer from Boston
I’ll tell you the story that happened that night. And I told Theo (Epstein) this, too. This is no lie. (Agent) Brian Peters called me, and he said, ‘All right, if the figures are the same, where do you want to go?’ I’m thinking nothing of this call. I’m just driving on the freeway. I said, ‘Man, to be honest with you, B.P., if everything was the same, I think I’d rather go to Boston.’ He said, ‘Really?’ […]
“And he said, ‘Well, I’m glad to hear that because that’s where you’re going.’ I was like, ‘Oh really?’ and he said, ‘Yeah, you’re going to Boston,’ and I was like, ‘Shoot, let’s go.’ That’s just how it happened. Then, he told me the dollar amount, and I almost got into a wreck on the freeway.

So he made himself older on his doctored birth certificate? Isn’t this the opposite the usual DOB fraud?

Kensai linked to this.
It is uncertain exactly what McCourt proposed in his meetings, but he could get hundreds of millions of dollars by either negotiating a new television contract with Fox or selling a minority share of the Dodgers, then using the proceeds to settle his divorce. McCourt has insisted he has no plan to sell any share of ownership.
However, Selig could reject any television contract or partnership agreement. After court documents in the divorce trial revealed how the McCourts diverted millions in team revenue each year for personal use, Selig could site grounds that such money should be used to improve the team rather than to pay off an ex-wife, one official said.
In addition, the officials said, Selig could refuse McCourt the short-term financing available to owners from MLB.
http://www.latimes.com/sports/baseball/mlb/dodgers/la-sp-mccourt-20110108,0,7883973.story
so basically, Selig can't say "Sell the team"
but he can say, “I won’t approve of any new funding for you, so you should sell the team.” Yes?

This is very tricky territory because
I just don’t think you can control what teams do with their revenues, especially if it is not made through revenue sharing like what the Marlins and Pirates issues were about.
This is all speculation and mostly folks expressing their distaste of the McCourts.
Business owners as a general rule, are under no rule that requires them to spend all of their revenues on their business.
But there are fiduciary duties that a corporation owes there company… Or is it diff bc there are no shareholders and it’s a privately owned company?
I don't see owning the Dodgers as being a privately held company
I see it as owning a seat on the MLB Board of Directors.

You mean like George Lucas has done
over and over?
"this team has no chance whatsoever of winning a World Championship said the writer of a Giant blog in Jan of 2010"
I’m saying reimagine in the sense of new actors and new feel. Like the Batman-Star Trek series reboots.

Forrest Gump
falls in the “didn’t need to make it in the first place” category
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man
That movie is bad on so many levels
and I like Tom Hanks
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man
heh
you and mintxcore are only the second and third person i’ve ever seen who didn’t like Gump. One of my friends HATES it

my snobbiness was determined
based on the fact i didnt think shawshank redemption was the best movie ever, if i recall correctly
oohhh
I’m with you there. It’s not bad, but not that great
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man
I really like Shawshank, but it’s not the best.
I really dig Goodfellas, Godfather I and II, Silence of the Lambs, and oh….Dumb and Dumber.
the prequel
should not have been made. I never was able to finish it

I loved Tropic Thunder

Though I feel like k3vo
must have hated that movie, as he hates Jack Black
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me...and I'm feeling good.
hate is pretty strong, I didn’t hate that movie, I think it had some good parts, but I def. hated Jack Black IN the movie.

Well, he fits into the ‘except for’ rule. For example: I liked that episode of community except for Jack Black, I liked Be Kind Rewind except for Jack Black.
It is just that his style does not appeal to me in the slightest. To some people he may be funny, but I don’t see it.

i didnt see it
apparently thou, it was a shot by shot remake. more of a “lets see if we can do it” and less of a COMING SOON! PSYCHO!!!
I meant the original
tried to watch it for the first time on Halloween this year, just totally, irrevocably disappointed.
You are my favorite reason to lose sleep.
i figure people must like it
for it to keep getting rated the scariest/best whatever movie ever.
But man, was I bored throughout.
Casablanca, which I also saw that night, is now one of my favorite movies. So, cest la vie.
You are my favorite reason to lose sleep.
i wouldnt say its the scariest by any means. its creepy and tense, but not the scariest.
casablanca is great but not a movie i would consider my favorite.
what would you consider a favorite?
gimme a shortlist.
Someday I will finish the Fall.
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me...and I'm feeling good.
ugh
favorite movie list? it was easier to make favorite movie lists when i watched less movies haha
here’s a quick list of movies I really, really like:
Apocalypse Now, The Host, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, Iron Giant, Monster House, Hot Fuzz, Back to the Future, Dr Strangelove, In The Loop.
There are wayyyyy more but i cant think of them at this moment.
Oh, Stolen Kisses. Stranger than Paradise.
Not kidding, only Dr. Strangelove and BttF look any good there.
You are my favorite reason to lose sleep.
Hot Fuzz is fantastic.
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me...and I'm feeling good.
PWBA and Iron Giant
are awesoke

Hell Yeah
Iron Giant
"this team has no chance whatsoever of winning a World Championship said the writer of a Giant blog in Jan of 2010"
I really hope
we’ve seen the last of those movies that parody genre’s. They are not funny.
"Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die."
Meet the Spartans currently ranks as my worst movie of all time.
Kids at the group home I worked at had a choice of Meet the Spartans or Cloverfield, and as hard as i tried to convince them otherwise, they picked MTS. Worst 83 minutes of my life.

Book to Movie
I have been waiting for Enders Game for sooooo long.
by robotmadeofnails on Jan 7, 2011 10:19 PM PST reply actions
YES
that would be beyond swesoke…it would venture into left
but if it got in the hands of the wrong person, I might never watch a movie again
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me...and I'm feeling good.
isn't that book really long?
i could see that movie getting messed up really easily.
add in the fact that it’s sci fi, it would take a really powerful person who really, really wants to make it as true as possible for it to happen, a la peter jackson and LOTR
dude, -1000 points
No.
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me...and I'm feeling good.
It’s not a long book, at all. There’s a series behind it, so maybe that’s what you’re thinking of?
There are a lot of parts to it though, and I could see them cutting some of it down. But it’s much shorter than a HP book, for example.
I dunno, robotmadeofnails — what do you think?
Show love with no remorse.
http://techland.time.com/2010/09/21/enders-game-movie-back-on/
i still think its unlikely to be anything an Enders Game fan would be proud of if its made by any major studio.
so you recommend the book?

The book is only around 200 pages. Quick but awesome read. It would take a great child actor
