I'm curious how high of a pick the Lions will have and I don't know/remember how the order is determined. Not that the Lions will make a great pick, I'm just curious.

I realize pitching styles are different between baseball and softball, but wouldn't it make for a better game if a team had more than 1 or 2 pitchers?

I just read an article about a high school pitcher who has pitched 7 perfect games in her team's first 11 games. And of course the world isn't fair, but that's a bunch of hooey to me. It happens in college too where one pitcher will start every single game of the World Series.

I guess it turns out to be a 2 part question. Should they change/make a rule about pitching in softball to prevent one pitcher from starting every game? And wouldn't it make for a better/more interesting game/season?

I just got my dog about 3 weeks ago. Today I noticed a bunch of white "pieces" in his poop. I don't know if it's just rawhide pieces or if its some kind of worms. Should I be worried or just take the poop to the vet and see what happens?

I say they should draft OL, DL, OL, then whatever after that, although I've thought that for the last 3 or 4 years. What do you think they should do?

I had surgery on my left knee so she joked around about "at least wait(ing) until i can kneel on it." So I figured I'd just ask for later.

Maybe it's just because I'm a Tigers fan, but am I wrong in saying the Tigers are the biggest disappointment this year in the MLB?

They were suppose to score 1,000 runs and challenge for the World Series...and now what? They can't even go .500

Apparently every question so far about the World Series seams to be "who do you want?" Here's one where you can agree or disagree with someone.

You know, a question for some to be able to "go off" if they really disagree. So here's the "question" (preceded by a statement).

I would like to see the Brewers and Rays in the World Series. C.C. and his new team vs. (most likely) Rookie of the Year. Do you agree or disagree with that being a good series? And if you disagree, who instead, and why?

Somebody has to have an explanation for why gas is so fricken expensive ($3.99/gallon for regular in G.R. michigan). There is no reason, in my mind, good enough for gas to more than double in price over a 3 year span.

Anybody have any ideas why it's so bad?

I suck at "bowling math" so I thought I'd try my luck here.

I bowled 7 strikes, a 9-, 3 more strikes, and a 7. If that 9- would've been a 9/, what would my score have ended being?

They've done it in hockey for a long time, but when did this happen in the NBA and do you think it is a good "stat" to pay attention to?

I could probably look this up myself, but I'm feeling lazy today.

1-How many 100 point seasons does Detroit have in a row? (I'm thinking it's a lot, unless I'm not remembering a bad year somewhere)

2-What is the record for most 100 point seasons in a row?(Team and # or years)

Also, please provide links and/or backup information. It's not that I don't trust you, I just purely don't trust you. =)

Apparently I suck A$$ at searching the web. Can somebody give me a CREDIBLE link to a rank of the hottest/warmest years in history.....for the world

I think "global warming" is overrated but I can't find information for OR AGAINST my ideas. So I'm looking for something that will let me know what the warmest years on record are.

Before the start of the game, can somebody with a nosebleed section seat go to the lower level bowl? I'm going to the Thanksgiving day game and I want to get some good pictures of the players during warm-ups.

I'm hoping I'm not the only one who had to mute the "God Bless America" performance by Boyz II Men during the World Series game. Don't they pre-screen performances these days? They were horrible.

Stat / Maglio / A-Rod

Avg. .359 (1) .309 (13)

Hits 211 (2) 178 (16)

Runs 116 (5) 140 (1)

RBI 136 (2) 151 (1)

2B 52 (1) 30 (43)

HR 28 (7) 53 (1)

(#) = AL Ranking

I say Magglio...what do you guys think?

He gives up 2 runs in the 8th inning of a 1-0 game. Why does he still have a job?

Why is it that Giambi admitted to a steroid use history and got off without reprimand while Bonds is still being investigated by the government? <---there's my questions

If Bonds admitted to it, the baseball world would be screaming for a lifetime ban and I don't see how they are that different.

PLEASE : NOBODY ARGUE THE FACT THAT ONE IS WHITE AND ONE IS BLACK (we don't live in the 60's anymore)

Apparently umps call balls and strikes different based on pitchers skin color...

Read either this title or the whole article and try telling me this is "proof" it is happening.

A strike is usually a strike and a ball is usually a ball...they don't say close pitches are evaluated, just every single pitch except foul balls or hits. If a pitch is right down the middle, it'll be called a strike, if a pitch is over the catchers head, it'll be a ball.

Basically, I think this "study" was a huge waste of time...maybe even more so than the one that found white refs in basketball to call more fouls against black players (although this one is actually more valid than the basketball one, where they only looked at scorecards and not actual games)

Somebody just answered a "question" about Bonds by saying "Just like I've said about Vick, he is innocent until proven guilty to me...." Is it just me or are steroids and dogfighting 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT circumstances????

Is it a legitimate argument to compare Bonds and Vick?

FYI: I agree with the innocent until proven guilty idea, but there are sooooo many other arguments you can use to make a case for Bonds.

I didn't know the best category to pick, so this was what I decided upon.
