I don't turn the lights on all that often at home when I'm just chillin'. So I'm used to walking around in the dark. I figure I know this place well enough not to stub my toe when I navigate it, so I guess I'll be here well after the lights go out .

Sometimes you get that feeling that you're in the Twilight Zone.I just read that the Royals, Cubs and possibly the Mets will be in the League Series finals.

I quit following MLB over 20 years ago, but I'm still rooting for the Cubbies because of Back to the Future 2.

Why is it a surprise that the Royals are still alive? They were in the World Series last year and made it very competitive drawing respect from the Giants and even their fans. Many counted them out this year but that made no sense since they had basically the same core players and made some of the best trades at the deadline adding Johnny Cueto, Ben Zobrist and Kendrys Morales to an already excellent roster. I think they'll have some trouble getting past the Blue Jays but if they do, they only have to worry about a 26 year old movie prediction. I think they beat either National league team. Just like I think the Blue Jays do if they get past my Royals. Bottom line, quit hatin' my Royals!

Because during my long time of following MLB (until I quit about 2-3 years ago), the Royals were as bad as the Dutch national soccer team is now. Arguably as bad as the Pirates were. quote: They were in the World Series last year
Holy cow. I HAVE been out of it. quote: Bottom line, quit hatin' my Royals!
I don't hate them, I'm just unaccustomed to seeing them doing so well! so, Go Royals! Perception wise, in the AL Central it always went between the Twins, Indians and sometimes the W.Sox. Then some years ago the Tigers emerged (good times) and the rest were gone. And now it's the Royals. It's good to see that there aren't fixed teams that you'll always find at the top and that it rotates somehow. Look at the Yankees and Red Sox' dominance 10 years ago, or the Braves of the '90ies. Where are they now?

The Tigers were the favorites in the AL Central if not Kansas City. KC plays the best baseball of any of the AL teams, which always bodes well for the playoffs.The teams that try to hit a ton of HRs usually succumb to good pitching because they can't manufacture runs. The Royals can do just about everything offensively. With all the days off, you're pretty much aces up most of the time, and all the best relievers are fresh. Money ball tries to beat up on the underbelly of your rotation, but those guys just don't get to play in the playoffs. See also the A's track record in division series.

I swear Aether, you must have been thinking about my cars again. Knock it off! About a month ago, stupid punks in our neighborhood came and slashed the tires on 6 vehicles in our parking lot. 2 of the vehicles were mine. :-\ Sucked. Now my van is overheating, and I'm hoping that it had just needed radiator fluid, but I have to go and get it inspected anyways by the end of this month. Oh, and Hi everyone!

Have the police tried to find out who did it? Guessing no cameras so won't have luck but maybe. Stop having bad luck Jaime! Edit: And tomorrow is BTTF day! No faking! I'm going to a local movie theater to watch the trilogy and I'm going dressed as Marty :-P

Nope, no clue. It's been happening in our complex for at least the past six months or so. And our building owners or whatever don't really seem to care, at all. I mean, those 2 tires cost me nearly $300 to replace. I don't know what I'm going to do if it should happen again. On a more positive note, I *should* be getting my Associates Degree next semester! Provided I can handle the last three classes that I need as well as working. Thanks, Jazaray

You should hire a Trained Guard Hobo. You pay him in weed and alcohol and he will guard your car.

I finally found a damned job!Ok, well, I hadn't been looking for a super long time, but I was getting kind of discouraged, because finding work had always been so easy for me. Now it's time to get my wife's car paid off! That will get us out from under about $225 in bills every month between the car payment and full coverage insurance. That's going to be a priority since this is going to be temp to hire.

It wasn't me, it wasn't me! Honest! I'm glad you're posting though, sadly it being for your car-issues (again). Should you ever come to Holland, remind me we'll be taking public transportation on all occassions... Good luck on the Associates Degree!!
Oh and Dave, I saw the Royals entering the Series. There's no turning back now for me , I hope they take it! On a sad note, South-Africa failed to qualify for the Rugby World Cup Final . Springboks weren't able to take the Kiwi's down, so I'm rooting for the Kiwi's in the final! Best to lose to the eventual winner!

Jaz are you living in a high crime area? You seem to suffer vandalism to your car(s) far too often. You should get those wheels that are solid rubber.It's funny that Rugby never caught on in the US considering that people so often watch football for muscular spandex-wearing man-on-man action. Rugby is like football but more violent.

Well I don't understand the rules, but I do like the action. Also, what's up with those giant scrums they start with? __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid.

Yeah yeah, sure! Now I find out my radiator has a leak, honestly now. quote: Originally posted by Volcanon: Jaz are you living in a high crime area? You seem to suffer vandalism to your car(s) far too often. You should get those wheels that are solid rubber.
Not especially. I mean, North Kingstown is one of the most expensive towns in RI, a lot of wealthy people live here. It's just the area of NK that I live in is the poorer area. Low income housing is all around us (and we live in low income housing as well). Plus... it's RI, there's nothing to do here. I guess some of the punks around think it's a jolly good time going around and ruining other people's property. IDK. Damn kids.
