The yankies lost to the Diamondbacks :razz:

Well, at least they’re an american team. :wink:

Sorry a bout the Annon, that was me.

Can you say Back to Back to Back homeruns?

This is probably going to sound a little rude but this crap really jerks my chain.

First off, I’m willing to bet the guy who started this thread was never in the military.

I have, and let me tell you, the military is by far less discriminatory than the civilian world. In any unit I was ever in a soldier was evaluated and rewarded for ability. I can’t say the same for any civilian job I’ve ever had.

You can make statistics say anything you want so don’t believe everything you read.

Do you think Japan would be the economic power they are to day if they spent any money on military? Believe it or not the US military does do some good from time to time.

Sometimes I think people search the Internet for days to come up with some terrible statistic they can parade as injustice. If you are going to whine about something try something you are more familiar with. Do you know how exploited the south American coffee bean farmers are that slave for 16 to 18 hours a day so you can sit at Starbucks sipping your latte and whine about the military that guaranties you freedom to be a whiner?

Me either.

Well now that is something I can respond to.

First of all the military structure here is probably not what you think it is. National guard pilots are pilots who were full time pilot but got out of the full time military, usually to make more money as commercial or private pilots. So I assure you that the fact that the pilot was a National Guard pilot had very little if anything to do with what was obviously a terrible accident. The reality is that in modern conflict we tend to loose as many if not more troops to accidents and friendly fire that to enemy fire.

As for the sports fans, most of them like me probably had no idea that this incident happened. So they were acting like sports fans.

That doesn’t mean we don’t care about the situation I’m sure that anyone who has heard about this incident like me is saddened for your loss.

Hey guy I’m a 12 year veteran of the National Guard and I’m a redneck. If you want to explain what you’re talking about and discuss it I’d be happy to oblige.

Otherwise BITE ME!

I don’t know why I thought we had a three game series with the mets. Oh well some times you loose the series. Not very often though.

Sorry Mr Ghoul, but your boys are going to meet Mr. Schilling tonight.

Some facts about the Bob. (I was a little off on my info)

The retractable roof, comprising 9 million pounds of structural steel, operates on the same tried-and-true technology found in drawbridges and overhead traveling cranes. A pair of 200-horsepower motors open or close the roof in slightly more than four minutes, utilizing more than four miles of cable strung through a pulley system. Each half of the roof consists of three moveable trusses which telescope over a fixed end truss. The east and west sides of the roof can operate either in unison or independently. Either side of the roof can be opened to any position in order to maximize sunlight on the turf and minimize it on the interior steel and concrete.

The 8,000-ton cooling system is the equivalent of air conditioning for more than 2,500 typical Arizona homes. The system incorporates air handlers and a large cooling tower on the south side of the Ballpark. The air handlers push 1.2 million cubic feet of air per minute across cooling coils containing water chilled to 48 degrees (several degrees cooler than an average residential system). The system, which is designed to bring the temperature down by 30 degrees in three hours, is configured to deliver cool air only to the seating areas and concourses. It will not cool the entire volume of the Ballpark.

In recreating an upscale Arizona backyard, the Pavilion gives about 35 guests the opportunity to see the Diamondbacks play while enjoying a swimming pool, hot tub, fountains, catering and other amenities.

The Pavilion is located next to the outfield wall in right-center. With the pool approximately 415 feet from home plate, home runs occasionally make a splash. When a Diamondback homers, water cannons celebrate by firing streams 30 to 35 feet into the air.

In case your interested in getting tickets, The Pool Pavilion rents for $5,250 per game and includes the exclusive use of the facility on your game date, 35 tickets, 5 parking passes, and a complimentary pool towel and pair of Sensi sandals for each guest.

Bring back the chain gangs!

It is strange how things are different in the millitary. I guess it’s because everyone has the same haircut and dresses the same.

I remember my best friend in basic training showing me a picture of his car. I asked him who the geek was standing next to it, and it was him. Of course I told him I was just kidding but I knew from the picture that I would never have been friends with him “back on the block”.

Strange.

Since you asked, Right now I’m going commando! I’m swingin’ free!

Hehe…

GO D-BACKS

Yankers suck!!!

Take that Met fans!
Now lets see if we can split the series.

The competition game starts this comming week. Its not to late. there are a lot of people that signed up but are not responding now. If they don’t send in their first turn they will forfeit their country and it will be given to someone on the waiting list.

I’m wearing a Diamondbacks World Series Champions Hat right now. :razz:

I have some other clothes on too, in case you were wondering.

I’m sitting here trying to imagine mini_phreek’s ears and nose. :wink:

I heard I guy refer to a white guy once as a “Snowmonkey” I thought it was pretty damn funny!

I have a special power…

Ah… no I don’t. I was just trying to be special. :wink:
