HEy Smile!!! You don't have to stick to anything. Take me for example: When I go out, I listen Hip-Hop, Reggae, Latin, Rave, etc... Anything that I can dance to. At home, you will not find but 2 CD's that contain any of this music. I am a HUGE rock head. Now I don't know if you are a NIN fan, but their music incorporates a lot of beats into it. Look at the Right CD on The Fragile, or any of his remixes. They are very danceable (is that a word?). So do what ever you want but don't give up because you feel like you only know how dance a certain way. Dancing is easy and believe me, no one is ever watching. Unless you want to be seen of course. Keep an eye out for any posts about going out. If I say that I'm gonna be somewhere you are more than welcome to come along. ------------------ "Life is a drink...

Not a huge Jets fan but I don't like the Giants so I always want to see them do better. If any team deserves to be in the bowl for the AFC it's the JETS. J-E-T-S... JETS, JETS, JETS!!!! ------------------ "Life is a drink... Don't guzzle it down, learn to savor every moment..." -Ricfutures

Man clubgrl, that's a tough one. Do you notice it only when you look in the mirror? Been bitten by any Vampires recently? I suggest staying away from Italian foods with garlic, sunlight, silver, and blessed crosses. Look at the bright side... at least you can be a full time clubber... =) ------------------ "Life is a drink... Don't guzzle it down, learn to savor every moment..." -Ricfutures

Alright guys!!!! Everyone on this board has had PMS attack, including myself and I'm a male, and has expressed it towards people on the board. We have a big meeting on Thursday and we shouldn't go into that with a chip on our shoulder. Yes it sucks cause it's Monday and the Mets looked like shit and were all still hung over... FUCK IT!!! Let's just get through this week. I'll be the first to apologize to anyone that I offended and I am looking forward to meeting all of you on Thursday. No more "Hatorade!!" Lets all be good little pussie... er kitties. ------------------ "Life is a drink... Don't guzzle it down, learn to savor every moment..." -Ricfutures

Why the hell does that happen? I hate it cause the next day I don't even feel like chewing or talking. Anyway, if anyone knows a scientific or logical reason I'd like to know. I feel like buying a mouth piece when I go out now. ------------------ "Life is a drink... Don't guzzle it down, learn to savor every moment..." -Ricfutures

Maybe I took it to a personal level and I apologize but I don't agree with what happened. You guys are saying that because of the trash talk, because of the 5 cy-youngs that he had every right to do so? That is ignorant. Whatever, you guys go on believing what you want, I am letting this go. Maybe if the shoe was on the other foot you would understand where I'm coming from. Of Hampton would have thrown that bat at Jeter, how would you guys have felt? I'm not even checking this post again because this would be an embarrasment to the city of NY. The next time someone throws something your way, remember to think like a Yankee. ------------------ "Life is a drink... Don't guzzle it down, learn to savor every moment..." -Ricfutures

Feel free to believe that he was so emotional that he didn't know he'd just broken Mike Piazza's bat in 16 billion pieces and therefore was unable to distinguish a baseball from a flying piece of ash. And while you're at it, feel free to believe that Ed McMahon is dying to come to your house and give you a million dollars, too, even if you don't subscribe to "Modern Computing and Home Decorating." But as Clemens was in the interview room Sunday night, babbling something to the effect that he was just tossing away this bat to help out his overworked bat boys, it quickly became clear that no one who wasn't bound to defend him, either by contractual obligations or team loyalties, had any idea what he was talking about or thinking about. "I honestly don't know what he was trying to do," said Mets outfielder Darryl Hamilton. "Even after looking at it on tape, I still don't know what he was trying to do." "I didn't know what to think," said one of the most rational of all Mets, Todd Zeile. "It was just one of those strange things where you thought, 'What was that about?' " Piazza himself set a postseason record for most consecutive uses of the word "bizarre" in a five-minute interview period. And even Yankees manager Joe Torre, who was trying to serve as Clemens' defense attorney, wound up in a long, testy exchange with a room full of media prosecutors -- an exchange that included this diatribe: "You guys ask me questions. Somebody answer my question. Why would he do it?" Well, if we could answer that question, we might win a Nobel Prize. There are certain unexplained phenomena in this world. And Clemens is high on the list, right up there with what happened to the Brontosaurus. Torre tried to defend Clemens by pleading with the puzzled masses to examine the logic behind the theory that Clemens fired the bat at Piazza on purpose. And that's a way better defense than anything Clemens offered up. "Let's try to analyze it," Torre said. "Why would he throw it at him? So he could get thrown out of the game in the second game of the World Series? Does that make any sense to anybody?" And the obvious answer is: Of course not. But does Clemens' explanation -- that he was just so overpowered by his own emotions that he immediately felt the urge to heave this bat "towards our on-deck circle, where our batboys were at" -- make any better sense? In fact, Clemens couldn't keep his own story straight -- another apparent product of those emotions that had overwhelmed him as recently as four hours earlier. He started out by claiming he was just tossing the bat to the batboys. Later, he changed lanes and acknowledged that he'd possibly told the umpires he "thought it was the ball" that had come hurtling at him. And later on, he went for the total-confusion defense, claiming: "To be honest with you, I didn't know if it was the bat or the ball." All right. We'll try to take him at his word here. Let's try to analyze that. Let's say he really, honestly, sincerely thought that was the baseball that had just come flying at him. "If he felt that way," said Mets pitcher Al Leiter, "shouldn't he have thrown it to Tino (over at first base)?" Good point. Does anyone out there ever recall any pitcher fielding what he thought to be a ball, even though it looked suspiciously like a foot-long chunk of shattered lumber, and then throwing it toward either (pick your explanation) the batboys or the runner? If so, raise your hand. OK. Thought so. Now let's move on to the next explanation -- that he "didn't know if it was the bat or the ball." "I know the difference between a bat and a ball," Leiter said. "And when I see a bat coming at me, I usually just get the heck out of the way." Good answer. But Clemens chose to bounce off the mound, scoop up the bat and then fire it at Piazza. Ever remember any pitcher doing anything like that? If so, raise your hands. OK. Thought so again. All right, so possibly there's some other sensible explanation for this -- one that Clemens might simply have been too emotional to recall at the time. "I've been honestly trying to think of that," Hamilton said. "And the only thing I can honestly see him saying is just: 'I screwed up.' Maybe with all the talk all week about Mike facing him in that first at-bat, the only logical thing I could think of is that maybe he thought Mike actually threw it at him. And then he was thinking, 'OK, I'll throw it back at him.' "But the bat was shattered, man. ... So I don't know what he was thinking. I'm not in there (meaning Clemens' head), so I really don't know." Hey, join the club there, Darryl. We could always simply accept Clemens' repeated explanation that he was so emotional that he really didn't know quite what he was doing. That's at least mildly conceivable. Not necessarily justifiable, but at least conceivable. "It's possible he was kind of in another world out there," Leiter said. "I can relate to that. Maybe just he's in a world that's a little different than the rest of our worlds." We can all admit that emotion is part of the game. Especially a World Series game. And more especially, a World Series game featuring a pitcher facing a hitter he'd just conked in the helmet four months earlier. But the idea is to channel those emotions, not let them almost lead to a nuclear World Series incident. And make no mistake about it: Roger Clemens came dangerously close to starting one. "He came a lot closer to hitting him than I originally thought," Hamilton said. "You never know how that bat could have bounced. It could have bounced up and hit Mike in the leg. If that had happened, all hell probably would have broken loose." ------------------ "Life is a drink... Don't guzzle it down, learn to savor every moment..." -Ricfutures

OK, Clemens has been pitching in the league for how many years? You think that he could tell the difference between a piece of wood and a ball right? If he thought that it was a ball, then why didn't he throw it to 1st like an infielder should? And what player has ever picked up a fragmented bat during a play and throw it towards the batboy? Go to www.ESPN.com because they prove how fuckin stupid that idiot is. He talented as all hell, but he is insane. ------------------ "Life is a drink...

Because FOX outbid the other networks for the rights to air the World Series. And the other networks didn't even try because of fear of a subway series. The ratings should be at an alltime low because only one market is involved. I'm in advertising, I know how this works. The rest of the country hates this and they would never admit to watching it even if they were. ------------------ "Life is a drink... Don't guzzle it down, learn to savor every moment..." -Ricfutures

I'm posting this to see what everyone thinks about what Clemens did. The Mets lost and that is acceptable, but for someone to pick up a piece of broken wood and throw it at a player is a fuckin disgrace. Bungee you must be one of the most shallow minded people I have ever met. You mean to tell me that his emotions got away from him and that it's acceptable? That's borderline assault you idiot!!! Tell me something, would you rather me throw a ball at you or a sharp object? Do me a favor, if you are going to respond this put an intelligent answer. And why wasn't he thrown out of the game? ------------------ "Life is a drink... Don't guzzle it down, learn to savor every moment..." -Ricfutures

Hey Cazz, there's nothing that we can do about it. The league obviously has a thing for the Yanks and gives them every single call under the sun. Especially when Psycho Clemens should have been thrown out of the game for trying to change his name to Clemens the Impailer. We can beat them, we just can't beat the umps. So turn that frown upside down. ------------------ "Life is a drink... Don't guzzle it down, learn to savor every moment..." -Ricfutures

If I wasn't so damn tired I would be happier about my next phase of slacking but hey, I'm a clubber now!!! ------------------ "Life is a drink... Don't guzzle it down, learn to savor every moment..." -Ricfutures
