I'll cut straight to the chase. My 14 year old brother does an online game and he chats with this girl (his own age) he met while playing. They've been talking for 4 months now and apparently they've developed strong feelings for each other (Uhm yes "the L word" aka love). My mom and I both know. They chat online all the time to a point where it's kind of too much. Let's just be honest, our family is worried. I mean who wouldn't be? He's chatting with someone he never met before and tells us that he loves her. We don't want him to runaway from us or anything dramatic so we aren't pressuring him too much about anything. To be honest, my brother is a smart kid and we're an overdramatic/worrywort kind of family.

The best thing is that my brother and I are really close and he really confides in me. I just want some advice on how to handle everything and to make sure my parents don't die from worry. Thanks everyone!

College Student here! I have to wake up really early everyday to go to class (all my classes start around 8) and I don't have time to eat breakfast. I don't want to starve or just eat different snacks during my classes. I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day so any suggestions for something healthy I can fix up quickly before I leave?

FYI John Legend's new album "Wake Up" featuring The Roots is truly amazing! I highly recommend it :D

Very impressed with Mos Def and his skill. A true talent not just in hip hop but in acting as well :)

my gosh it's my first game of the year.... very sad >.< yet exciting!

Is it truly the Oreo? hmmmmm??

BQ: How do you eat your Oreos?

Batting Leaders:

Hamilton .355

Morneau .345

Cabrera .341

Beltre .333

Cano .329

The batting leader for the NL is Carlos Gonzalez with .327

Pitching Leaders:

Hudson 2.24 ERA

Halladay 2.34 ERA

Latos 2.36 ERA

Is that a good indication of the strengths/weaknesses of each league? Or just a coincidence?

BQ: Who wins Cy Young for AL?

I'm entering college in 3 weeks and I'm really nervous/scared. It seems everyone else is more excited. I wish I was the same. I don't know if I'm prepared for college courses. I did very well in high school. I ended high school with an overall GPA of about 4.0 but high school is different from college.

I'm also leaving my small town to a completely different area. I've been in my small town for as long as I could remember and to leave is kind of scary even if my school is only an hour away. Maybe I'm just too used to my neighborhood and my circle of friends that having to make new ones is kind of.. well daunting :P

Some days I'm excited and some days I'm not. So any advice? Survival guide to be successful in college? And have fun too?

Ehh you don't have to be all politically correct for this one. Just tell me what little things annoy you :P

When a manager switches a pitcher despite the huge lead -___-;

2003 was the worst season I've experienced as a fan... though to be honest I don't even remember any of it! I wonder what my 11 year old self was doing... Aside from that I've been an Angel fan since I was 8 years old and this is the second worst season I've ever experienced (I'm now a college freshman I guess you can do the math :P.) As of right now the Angels are 54-53 and tied with Oakland for second place, behind the Texas Rangers.

Yes, I'm spoiled T.T

After playing centerfield for most of his major league career, Torii Hunter is permanently the right fielder for the LA Angels of A thus bringing up the very talented rookie Peter Bourjos. It'll be hard to get used to because for he played center for as long as I was a fan (of his and of baseball) but I thank him for his selflessness. I'm thankful to have the opportunity to watch such a talented and classy player everyday :)

Asian players treated better than Latinos

CHICAGO (AP)— Sox manager Ozzie Guillen thinks Asian players are given privileges in the United States that Latinos are not afforded.

In his latest rant, the outspoken Guillen also said he’s the “only one” in baseball teaching young players from Latin America to stay away from performance-enhancing drugs and that Major League Baseball doesn’t care about that.

He said MLB only cares about how often he argues with umpires and what he says to the media.

Guillen said it’s unfair that Japanese players are assigned translators when they come to the U.S. to play pro ball, but Latinos are not.

I think you should all read the entire article. The issue of PEDs does come out and I thought his argument on translators (or lack there of) is worth discussing :P Though to be honest I think it's because there are more Latinos in baseball than Asians so it would be a bit easier to just give a Japanese player a translator but I dunno.

Sorry for the question overload... but this is my last one for tonight I promise

I'm excited to see how Ubaldo Jimenez is going to end his season and how the divisions (that are ultra competitive this year!) will end up.

Thank you so much!

Angels are 27-21 at home and 23-24 on the road.

BQ: Are you better at home or on the road?

My answer: Kleenex (i.e. Could you pass me some Kleenex?" :D)

BQ: favorite kind of pie?

The Angels offense must hate Ervin Santana because he never gets run support. The offense gets hot during the week and then all of a sudden when he's on the mound they automatically get cold. He should have at least 13 wins by now. It's incredibly puzzling.

BQ: Are you watching the Phillies v Cubs game? :P

BQ: Can Ubaldo Jimenez be more likely to win MVP rather than a Cy Young? Considering there is Adam Wainwright and Josh Johnson for Cy Young candidates.....

I'm going off to college now and I have to learn how to live on my own a bit.. so I'm starting to cook. What are some of your favorites that I can try in my kitchen? :)

It could be from your team or just baseball in general

I'm going to have to go with all those no-nos! As a fan of pitching, I couldn't have asked for more! Hope the second half is just as good and exciting!

BQ: What you are doing today? (It's so hot in southern california!!)
