sterniac86 07-14-2008, 06:12 PM Josh Hamilton
woogayo 07-14-2008, 06:14 PM i think the majority is rooting for hamilton because of his backstory.... and the fact that he can crush the ball.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 06:15 PM hi, erin
sterniac86 07-14-2008, 06:16 PM Jeter picked Josh Hamilton.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 06:17 PM Anybody catch when they were booing Utley he said boo, fuck you. That was funny. Fuck New York.
tgs38 07-14-2008, 06:18 PM Maybe I'm hearing things but when they introduced the first or second guy the fans kinda booed him. It sounded like he said boo and fuck you to the fans lol.. Maybe im hearing things.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 06:21 PM Anybody catch when they were booing Utley he said boo, fuck you. That was funny. Fuck New York.
i just rewound it. utley said, 'boo? fuck you.' classic.
meetthemets 07-14-2008, 06:24 PM I'm pulling for Chris Berman to get hit in the face with a foul ball. I can't believe I'm going to sit here and listen to him for 2 hours.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 06:25 PM I'm pulling for Chris Berman to get hit in the face with a foul ball. I can't believe I'm going to sit here and listen to him for 2 hours.
Got it on mute and listening to the replay. Jeff the Drunk isn't much better though.
meetthemets 07-14-2008, 06:26 PM Just bleeped Uggla saying "aw fuck!". Nice.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 06:27 PM Just bleeped Uggla saying "aw fuck!". Nice.
caught that. they mustve put it on a delay
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 06:27 PM 6 HR for Uggla that should be enough to advance.
meetthemets 07-14-2008, 06:28 PM caught that. they mustve put it on a delay
definitely. probably going to be a lot of that tonight.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 06:29 PM What is that outfit Erin is wearing? Looks like fucking Heidi!
Great first round by Uggla.
meetthemets 07-14-2008, 06:30 PM Lefties definitely have the advantage tonight.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 06:31 PM This Sizemore is crushing some of these.
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 06:31 PM "Who needs Steroids" lol
meetthemets 07-14-2008, 06:32 PM Seizmore is hitting some bombs!
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 06:32 PM we need a translator or closed captioning for papi cant understand a word he can say
woogayo 07-14-2008, 06:33 PM i think bonds has the farthest homerun into the upper deck in right. just above the walkway.
lisaslisas 07-14-2008, 06:34 PM This Sizemore is crushing some of these. :bigclap:
Billy Brown 07-14-2008, 06:36 PM Anybody catch when they were booing Utley he said boo, fuck you. That was funny. Fuck New York.

Funny stuff. :D
NiceFace 07-14-2008, 06:36 PM awww mannn..how annnnnnnnooyinggg is Chris Berman....same oL weak phrases
NiceFace 07-14-2008, 06:37 PM http://www.youtube.com/v/3TLG_LtWhj4&hl
KingOfAllMedia 07-14-2008, 06:39 PM Arod really should be participating. Some Yankee he is. :rolleye2:
selfimmolator 07-14-2008, 06:39 PM awww mannn..how annnnnnnnooyinggg is Chris Berman....same oL weak phrases
That dudes a fuckin tool bag.
meetthemets 07-14-2008, 06:43 PM Dude, fix this so it doesn't start up every time I refresh this page. It's annoying enough to listen to Berman on TV.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 06:44 PM I can't kill Arod for not showing. This contest has been known to sap some of these guys for weeks afterwards. What's fucked is the single best HR guy in baseball isn't here.....Howard from the Phils. That guy is sick!!!!
meetthemets 07-14-2008, 06:45 PM I think it will be an Utley/Sizemore final.
selfimmolator 07-14-2008, 06:47 PM c'mon Chase.
IceWater 07-14-2008, 06:47 PM Utleys pitcher sucks
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 06:48 PM Had a feeling Longoria wouldn't do well. Most first year guys usually don't.
Utley's turn now to shut the NY fans up.
meetthemets 07-14-2008, 06:49 PM You'd think these guys with the Handycams could just consolidate their videos. How much different could they be?
woogayo 07-14-2008, 06:49 PM I think it will be an Utley/Sizemore final.
still got berkman and hamilton...
selfimmolator 07-14-2008, 06:49 PM He's shitting the bed.:no:
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 06:49 PM Had a feeling Longoria wouldn't do well. Most first year guys usually don't.
Utley's turn now to shut the NY fans up.
good showing so far
johnni44 07-14-2008, 06:50 PM Utley's turn now to shut the NY fans up.
That's no easy feat A.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 06:52 PM 5 HR won't get it done. Pitcher was throwing him shit.
meetthemets 07-14-2008, 06:52 PM still got berkman and hamilton... Berkman is hitting right handed.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 06:53 PM 5 HR won't get it done. Pitcher was throwing him shit.
Why isn't Howard in the competition?
IceWater 07-14-2008, 06:53 PM wheres the slow motion camera they put on the batters when they swing? What the hell why did they get rid of that ahahhaa
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 06:54 PM Why isn't Howard in the competition?
Only guys that made the All-Star team. First time guy lead league in HR and RBI, but didn't make the team since like 1960 something. He would have hit some bombs in the right field seats.
IceWater 07-14-2008, 06:54 PM Why isn't Howard in the competition?
he just started to get real hot recently, he didn't make to the all-star game
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 06:55 PM I would have liked to seen Dunn hit too. He has never been in the HR Derby.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 06:56 PM Only guys that made the All-Star team. First time guy lead league in HR and RBI, but didn't make the team since like 1960 something. He would have hit some bombs in the right field seats.
Ridiculous. Better HR hitter than any of these guys. Oh well.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 06:57 PM Ridiculous. Better HR hitter than any of these guys. Oh well.
Blame it on Chicago fans. Soriano and fuck you do me got in before him. Marmol getting in before Hamels and Santana is a joke too.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 06:58 PM Blame it on Chicago fans. Soriano and fuck you do me got in before him. Marmol getting in before Hamels and Santana is a joke too.
Totally agree A.
meetthemets 07-14-2008, 06:58 PM I guess Berkman decided to hit left handed. Probably a good call.
Jerry Remy 07-14-2008, 07:02 PM Nice catch by the kid in center.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:03 PM great catch by the kid in the black seats
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:03 PM Thought Utley had a shot there till Berkman went crazy and ended up with 8. Top 4 advance so he needs the last 3 to shit the bed.
lisaslisas 07-14-2008, 07:04 PM Arod really should be participating. Some Yankee he is. :rolleye2: He's at Madonners. :hump:
bml1969 07-14-2008, 07:09 PM Have A Feeling Morneau Will Unleash Some Bombs. Saw A Couple Of Them In Kansas City. Dude Can Rip Them.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:09 PM im half listening to this discussion, but is somone complaining that there is no hispanic player in the derby?
IceWater 07-14-2008, 07:10 PM im half listening to this discussion, but is somone complaining that there is no hispanic player in the derby?
ahaha yeah, he said" we only have white guys here" ahahaa
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:12 PM Utley is gone. Morneau and Braun bets still alive.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:13 PM Morneau tied Berkman with 8.
nuge67 07-14-2008, 07:15 PM They should have an old timers home run derby!!
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:15 PM i think the longest bombs are yet to come in this round
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:20 PM Braun is in. He hit some bombs here.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:20 PM braun just turned it on.
bml1969 07-14-2008, 07:22 PM They should have an old timers home run derby!!
I Think It Was A Old Timer's Game Back In The 80's, Luke Appling (Then In His Late 70's/Early 80's) Hit One A Few Hundred Feet Over The Make Shift Wall. I Was Impressed.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:24 PM the guy throwing to josh hamilton is 71 years old. the last time he was at the stadium was for don larsens perfect game.
bml1969 07-14-2008, 07:24 PM Still Gonna Stick With Hamilton. ;)
Dirty South 07-14-2008, 07:27 PM Hey Morons: You don't have to be voted into the ASG to participate in the HR Derby.
I know Adam Dunn, for instance, has said that he WON'T accept an invite to the HR Derby if he isn't voted into the actual ASG.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:28 PM holy shit!!!
jobbey 07-14-2008, 07:28 PM they should have had manny in there
bml1969 07-14-2008, 07:28 PM HE CLEARED THE FUCKING YARD!!!!!!

WAY TO GO HAMILTON!!!
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:28 PM What a shot by Hamilton!!!!!
jobbey 07-14-2008, 07:29 PM damn that was huge
Wish he (Hamilton) was still with the Reds. But Volquez is alright, so far.
Hitting a ton.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:29 PM Hey Morons: You don't have to be voted into the ASG to participate in the HR Derby.
I know Adam Dunn, for instance, has said that he WON'T accept an invite to the HR Derby if he isn't voted into the actual ASG.
Same with Arod as he wasn't voted to the game but was asked to participate in the HR derby.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:30 PM another fucking bomb!!
Jerry Remy 07-14-2008, 07:30 PM Hamilton doesn't even look like he is swinging hard.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:30 PM FUCK YOU CHRIS BERMAN YOU HACK!!!!
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 07:31 PM HE CLEARED THE FUCKING YARD!!!!!!
http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc305/bml1969/Spicoli.jpg
WAY TO GO HAMILTON!!!
:lol:
Awesome! Totally awesome! All right, Hamilton!
Dirty South 07-14-2008, 07:31 PM Holy shit I wish Berman would just have a heart attack on air. What a fucking hack piece of shit.
backbackbackbackbackbackback gimme a fucking break :rolleyes:
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:31 PM I wish a line drive would crack his fat melon open.
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 07:32 PM Hamiltons Tats are bad ass
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:32 PM How Ironic that Volquez gives him the case.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:32 PM http://mlans.dynip.com/blogpics/2003-05/2003-05-10-wonderboy.jpg
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:33 PM This guy is something. Never get to see him play.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:33 PM Hamilton might get worn out here.
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 07:34 PM so its the top 4 that make it
Lance Berkman
Justin Morneau
Ryan Braun
Josh Hamilton
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:34 PM this is something.
Dirty South 07-14-2008, 07:34 PM I'm a Reds fan... and as much as I love Hamilton, it was still a trade that the Reds had to make.
Volquez is unbelievable.
(Wish we could've traded someone else for him, however. :bl: )
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:34 PM He may just want to get some bs outs to get to the next round. He'll be worn out for the later rounds.
Mootzerell 07-14-2008, 07:34 PM Gimme drugs....gimme drugs......
This guy is something. Never get to see him play.
FoxSportsNet Southwest :)
jobbey 07-14-2008, 07:35 PM damn josh has bobby abraeu numbers
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:35 PM FoxSportsNet Southwest :)
I can do that.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:35 PM He hit a couple over 500 HR and one over the wall. Guy is a beast. He is pretty much in the 2nd round now.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:35 PM Tigerbalm dude.
Dirty South 07-14-2008, 07:36 PM He should just hit a few singles to get it over with... he needs to save himself for the later rounds.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:36 PM He should just hit a few singles to get it over with... he needs to save himself for the later rounds.
HR carry over to the later rounds so he is alright.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:37 PM I forgot that. Good point.
jobbey 07-14-2008, 07:37 PM what was bobby abreau when he won it in the 1st round i think it was 13. am i wrong?
Dirty South 07-14-2008, 07:37 PM A.Lang: But not to the last round, correct?
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:37 PM he's gonna hit more homeruns tonight than he has in his career
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:38 PM fucking regod-damn-diculous
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:38 PM Not to the last round.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:38 PM A.Lang: But not to the last round, correct?
I think you're correct DS.
MikeyJJ 07-14-2008, 07:38 PM This is insane
jobbey 07-14-2008, 07:39 PM holy fucking shit
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 07:39 PM what was bobby abreau when he won it in the 1st round i think it was 13. am i wrong?
yes you are wrong he hit 24
Too bad the Rangers have shit pitching to go with Young, Kinsler and Hamilton.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:39 PM Abreu hit 24 then hardly ever hit a HR again.
Dirty South 07-14-2008, 07:39 PM Haha, they're telling him to quit. :funny:
clw1227 07-14-2008, 07:40 PM Did that NYPD just choke that dude?
TruckdriverRick 07-14-2008, 07:40 PM this guy is unfriggingabelievable!! I switched over and he is just smoking em!!
clw1227 07-14-2008, 07:40 PM Just give him the title.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:40 PM 100x better than watching mcgwire and sosa
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:40 PM Abreu hit 24 then hardly ever hit a HR again.
As a Philly fan no one would know better than you. :D
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:40 PM He shouldn't even try in the 2nd round. He is in the finals.
Did that NYPD just choke that dude?
It kind of looked like it. But it's on tape (anyways).
TruckdriverRick 07-14-2008, 07:41 PM just give him the trophy already
jobbey 07-14-2008, 07:41 PM yes you are wrong he hit 24
i said in the 1st round and he hit 26 total
Dirty South 07-14-2008, 07:41 PM I wonder if a player could opt out of the 2nd round if they wanted?
sterniac86 07-14-2008, 07:41 PM Josh is The Natural, Roy Hobbs
Flip the bat around and try to hit with the knob.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:42 PM Holy sHEEEEEEt
MikeyJJ 07-14-2008, 07:42 PM I walked in at #8. None of these left the ballpark yet did they?
TruckdriverRick 07-14-2008, 07:42 PM ortiz trying to hog the limelight..they booed him!! :D
sterniac86 07-14-2008, 07:42 PM 22
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:42 PM I walked in at #8. None of these left the ballpark yet did they?
Like his 4th one went out of the ballpark.
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 07:42 PM i said in the 1st round and he hit 26 total
i don't know where your getting your numbers from
http://i36.tinypic.com/2eq3tec.jpg
jobbey 07-14-2008, 07:42 PM i said in the 1st round and he hit 26 total
edit: your right petey. i was wrong
clw1227 07-14-2008, 07:43 PM Why the fuck didn't the Rays keep him.
sterniac86 07-14-2008, 07:43 PM I walked in at #8. None of these left the ballpark yet did they? Nope
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 07:43 PM cocaine what a drug
Dirty South 07-14-2008, 07:43 PM Ortiz' fat ass got booed. Fucking drama queen.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:44 PM Tied that hack Abreu! Sweeeeet
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:44 PM Why the fuck didn't the Rays keep him.
He was a drug addict. Guy was a Rule 5 pick anybody could have had him.
clw1227 07-14-2008, 07:44 PM He's going to need a relief pitcher at this rate.
Why the fuck didn't the Rays keep him.
I thought he was exposed in the draft and the Reds picked him up due to a rule where he had to make the Reds roster for the year.
He never played for them, so they didn't know what they had.
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 07:44 PM Ortiz' fat ass got booed. Fucking drama queen.
Hamilton should foul one off shrek
clw1227 07-14-2008, 07:45 PM He was a drug addict. Guy was a Rule 5 pick anybody could have had him. I just wish they would have tried to keep him.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:45 PM unfuckinbelievable
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:45 PM Wiped Abreu from the books. Great job.
MikeyJJ 07-14-2008, 07:45 PM Like his 4th one went out of the ballpark.
Nope
Yes or no?
sterniac86 07-14-2008, 07:45 PM New Record for the 1st round :cheer:
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:45 PM Yes or no?
Yes.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:45 PM I just wish they would have tried to keep him.
He was banned from baseball. Can't blame the Rays for not keeping him. They gave him plenty of chances.
Ortiz come back from his toot.
Does he have white substance near his nose.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:46 PM Yes or no?
i dont think so. looked like it hit way up on the wall in right, above the bleachers.
Dirty South 07-14-2008, 07:46 PM I thought he was exposed in the draft and the Reds picked him up due to a rule where he had to make the Reds roster for the year.
He never played for them, so they didn't know what they had.
Wrong. He was actually chosen by the Cubs and then traded to the Reds for $50,000 in cash considerations. The Reds then had to keep him on their 25 man roster for the entire season or offer him back to the Cubs for $50,000.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:46 PM Yes or no?
I'm sure they will show replay. It went out of the park.
jobbey 07-14-2008, 07:46 PM check him for hgh... damn
sterniac86 07-14-2008, 07:46 PM Yes or no? Only one bounced off the wall of the right upper deck and went out, but NOTHING has left the park.
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 07:46 PM I thought he was exposed in the draft and the Reds picked him up due to a rule where he had to make the Reds roster for the year.
He never played for them, so they didn't know what they had.
THe cubs got him in the rule 5 draft in 06 and traded him to the reds
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:47 PM That hack Berman said it did. But then again he is prone to over hype
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:47 PM the kid has 40 career homeruns
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 07:47 PM check him for hgh... damn
like i said cocaine what a drug
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:47 PM wonder if anyone will ever top this guy.
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 07:48 PM this shit is going to last till 12
the kid has 40 career homeruns
He's only played like 1 1/2 years and was hurt some last year.
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:48 PM He's only played like 1 1/2 years.

Billy Brown 07-14-2008, 07:49 PM That old guy pitching to him is going to have a stroke.
sterniac86 07-14-2008, 07:49 PM :clap: what a PERFORMANCE :clap:
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:49 PM fucker cant even make some cash with the money ball

Dirty South 07-14-2008, 07:49 PM HAHAHAAHAHA They're playing the theme from The Natural. Fucking badass. :D
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:49 PM great story. Give credit to Selig for letting him back into baseball.

If you want to watch his old team, I haven't used my Reds season tickets in a month. :D
Third base line :p :p
lisaslisas 07-14-2008, 07:49 PM fucking amazing. :bigclap:
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:49 PM Erin, show him your tatas!!!!!
jobbey 07-14-2008, 07:50 PM He's only played like 1 1/2 years and was hurt some last year.
thats it???
woogayo 07-14-2008, 07:50 PM erin is wet
Dirty South 07-14-2008, 07:50 PM Josh Hamilton makes Erin Andrews' pussy wet. :bl:
I continue to wonder which player is going home with Erin Andrews tonight
KingOfAllMedia 07-14-2008, 07:50 PM :omfg: I can't believe what I just saw. :omfg:
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:50 PM I continue to wonder which player is going home with Erin Andrews tonight lol

You know it's going to happen :D
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:51 PM He can skip round 2 and rest now.
Petey Arms 07-14-2008, 07:51 PM :omfg: I can't believe what I just saw. :omfg:
i know David ortiz is sponsored by Vitamin Water and was seen on TV with Gatorade
clw1227 07-14-2008, 07:51 PM That old timer needs to get the ice out.

dave24s 07-14-2008, 07:53 PM Just think, if Josh Hamilton never used drugs, he'd be a fucking nobody that we've never heard of.
Congratulations Josh Hamilton on your drug use. Thanks to crack and booze and the recovery that followed, you set a single round home run derby record.
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 07:54 PM Hamilton didn't even play that much in the minors. He pretty much went right from rehab to the big leagues. Guy is a beast.

I like that for a anti-drug slogan. Can you shorten it up a bit?

He is in Yankee Stadium, it's probably all over the clubhouse.... Maybe he's borrowing Giambi's locker....... :bigthink:

I'm happy for the guy, but I'm sick about hearing what a "great" story this is. The simple fact is that if not for this "great" story, we'd have no idea who this guy was. Yeah, he was a hot prospect, but without the drugs it would be "big fucking deal, who's arod banging now?"
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:56 PM Ahem...

If he didn't do drugs he would have a couple MVP by now. He wasn't just a hot prospect. #1 overall pick and expected to be the next A-Rod, but better.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 07:57 PM This will be a tough act to follow.

Or he could have ruined his knee on a bad slide and wound up bagging groceries. Face it, the drugs made him who he is right now.

Some hating on the guy. Like you have never done drugs before :rolleyes:
If he was on the Yankees you would be blowing the guy right now.
People might know him because he was a drug addict, but 10 years from now he will only be remembered for what he did on the field.

Reggie suffers from that Yankee disease. The same one Ricky Henderson had where he's madly in love with himself.

Rickey had that before he was a yank

I he was on the Yankees you would be blowing the guy right now.
Why does everyone assume that Yankees fans give Yankees immunity? Obviously you don't know me, and that's okay. I don't know you. Whether I have done drugs or not is irrelevant. I'm not a ball player. But let's face facts:
Dude was a hot prospect. Spent all his signing bonus on drugs. Out of baseball. Found god, or a god. Recovered. Came back to baseball.
That shit made him who he is now. Sure, he could have stayed clean and had a monster career up until now. Or he might not have. But the fact is that he is where he is at this point in his life BECAUSE of his drug abuse and subsequent recovery. If not for the drugs, he would not have set a single round home run derby record and people like you wouldn't be sucking on his cock because of his "great" story. Without the "great" story he's just another ballplayer.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 08:05 PM Do you write the same way?
Now that is funny.
KingOfAllMedia 07-14-2008, 08:05 PM One of these kids is gonna get drilled in the head pretty soon.
That's the payoff I'm counting on! :D
meetthemets 07-14-2008, 08:05 PM Why do they have all the writers and their expensive computers sitting in RF? Doesn't make much sense.
johnni44 07-14-2008, 08:06 PM Rickey had that before he was a yank
True.

There's hope bro.

I could care less about the drugs aspect. He just broke the HR derby and thats why everybody is blowing him. Can't deny he isn't a great player.
MikeyJJ 07-14-2008, 08:07 PM Now that is funny.
Honest question. I can only write in caps, but dont type that way.
dave24s 07-14-2008, 08:08 PM I could care less about the drugs aspect. He just broke the HR derby and thats why everybody is blowing him. Can't deny he isn't a great player.
See, it's more special now because of his "great" story. Sure, if he was a normal player, it's a big deal. But it's a bigger deal because of his past. Just listen to these assholes talk about it.
MikeyJJ 07-14-2008, 08:08 PM no there isnt
Very true.

I'll give you because of his past people are making it a better deal, but it is a great story. Think if you were a 18 year old kid picked #1 overall what would you do. He fucked up and now has his life back on track. You have to respect that.

Agreed. Great article in Maxim a while back turned me on to him so I've had a rooting interest for him as well.

I am the same way. Was originally going to be a civil engineer so got in the caps habit from writing on plans and it has stuck ever since. Most 3rd graders cursive writing looks better than mine. OCD is annoying.
Is this Braun's 2nd or 3rd year in the bigs?
A.Lang=Crazy 07-14-2008, 08:16 PM Rick Reilly fuck is worse than Berman.
