if a batter makes a homerun but decides not to circle the bases, and stops at 1st base; what happens here? is this considered a single?

the reason is, he needs a single to complete a cycle. thanks.

given a long phone number like this +1234567890, how can we determine which is country code, area code, and number ? is there a rule on how to get them?

my caller id registered this : +1225555 ; and i can't return the call. any idea where it is from? thanks !

I have an erratic printer that is connected to PC via RS232 serial port. It only works if you first run Windows Hyperterminal and click on the CONNECT button. The printer then works nicely afterwards.

What bytes/data does HyperTerminal send to the printer?

I'd like the printer not to be dependent on Hyperterminal; i'd like my software to directly initialize the printer. Thanks.

i have a 1-year dog who barks like crazy when we go outdoors. she seems excited , but her loud barking annoys others, it is embarrassing. what is wrong with her?

i noticed that when players loses in a grand slam tourney, they go home immediately.

why they don't show up and watch the remainder of the tournament in the arena? is there a rule that prohibits them from showing up in public after losing?

also, was there anyone who faced match point(s) before the semis and went on to win RG ?

i have a 6 month old mutt who is very uncontrollable. she ruins our furniture and does her business anywhere in the house.

since no one takes care of her when i'm out, i place her in a leash for like the whole a day (20 hours a day). we only have quality time during the weekends.

is that OK? will it strain her neck? what about psychological effects? i really have no other options. please advise, thanks!

i have a female puppy (5 months) who has some issues:

- she gets hyper and likes to bite things at home

- but when we go out of the house, she gets very timid

- she seems scared of kids and other dogs when outdoors; when the kids approach her, she shrieks like she's having a seizure, hahaha!

- i don't know her breed, here's a pic: http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n375/jorgeph200...

any idea on how to make her more sociable? thanks!

can anyone figure out the breed of this doggie?

why do teams announce their starting pitcher for the next game? can they just keep it as a surprise, to keep their opponents guessing?!?

if they announce the pitcher, it gives the opposing team time to make strategies, no?

how come there is no country music in my nbal live 08 ? all i hear are some gangster reciting poetry... if u hear closely, the "song" does not even make sense, it is full of gibberish. the words are not defined in my dictionary.

and sometimes the songs sounds like rubbish tribal music.

what's going on???

there was a game where paul o'neal made an inside-the-park homerun, but was later ruled a triple. how can this be?

what are the possible causes of this over-rule?

i was surprised to learn that he used to be a starter for the yankees... was he a dominant starter? if he was, how come he became a closer?

in mlb, has there been anybody who successfully made the transition from position player to pitcher? or from pitcher to position player? that would be cool, no? thanks!

who is better? kaz or hediki?

- offense skills

- defense skills

- more popular in japan?

- more popular in usa?

- more popular with the ladies?

during a fly ball, when can the runners start advancing?

i saw a game where there were runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs, and a fly ball went deep to right field (which was caught), they could have easily advanced, but they decided to stay put.

other times, runners start advancing when the ball is in flight. why is that?!?

would it be interesting if pitchers / players can return to a game after being replaced? just like in basketball. this will give them a chance to rest a while and have another chance to finish the game. your thoughts?

i think wimbledon is the most prestiguos because of its historical value.

us open is the least important because tennis is not so popular in the states.

how about the french and australian? what do u think?

i'm just learning to drive, got some questions:

why dont they replace the gear stick with buttons instead? that would be more convenient for the driver.

also, if i dont change gear (always neutral) when driving, will that damage the engine?
