Do the different colored balls mean anything? In rec leagues, you see the typical black and white, now I'm watching a match where they have a yellow and purple

This is a stupid question, but a serious one. Practically everytime I go to the bathroom, at some point or another, I'm visited by at least one of my cats. My mother tends to get either the cats or one of the dogs. This has been happening over a span of 5 cats, two dogs, and 15 years. I don't mind, I'm just curious why they come in. They just lay at your feet and wait for attention.

Okay, bare with me here.

I'm having pain in my LEFT knee. I have never directly injured this knee outside of slight twists. (nothing in the past 5 years). I have had this leg reconstructed.

The pain I am having is directly in the middle of the knee. I can touch the outside of the cap without pain, but if I touch the cap, the pain is excruciating. I also have trouble bending my knee up or down. When I rest, it's okay. When it's set, it's fine> it's the physical motion of bending that causes pain.

Any ideas?

According to IMDB.com, Turtle and Drama have been in 43 episodes while Eric and Vince have only been in 42. Is this just poor math or is there an episode without them?

who do you think should start the ASG for NL? I think either Peavy or Hamels, prob. leaning towards Hams.

I understand that you can't see my swing, so I'm going to do my best to describe it. I have trouble off the tee with my driver -- I have a horrific slice. Not a fading slice, a harsh slice. I'm 5'5. I tend to think it's because I'm either not opening up fast enough or my hands are too far behind. As the club goes down -- 3W, 5W, etc. -- the slice reduces and is non existent with the irons. What should I do?

Now I know Barry Bonds' likeness rights are not granted to the MLBPA, but is he a member of the union? Are non-union members (Kevin Millar, etc.) subject to the MLB steroid testing policy?

My first question is -- when is it? I know it's televised on ESPN this year.

Second -- New Jersey prospect Rick Porcello is expected to go No. 2 to KC. But Peter Gammons says he could fall all the way to the Yanks due to the Boras factor. Are teams really this afraid that they won't sign a player?

Three -- Is baseball like football, where, if a player signs with an agent, he loses his amateur eligibility? I read Porcello signed a letter of intent for UNC and he will go there if he can't sign with a team. But, see above question.
