Well, sure. Except that it would be called something else, lacrosse being the French name ...

Although it has probably nothing to do with anything, we are from Phila and mid state PA and both from college at PSU... so no, we are not your typical south stereotypes so try again.

We are simply for maintaining the law we already have without exception including our border laws..... otherwise, we have NO law for any of US.

(My emphasis)

OK, Rush is the Limbaugh - who is fond of coining words.

I read your comment about going hunting on the border. I assumed you were talking about people - which would be stereotipical bluster. If not, my bad.

YES Pleeeeeease!! Yankees (or whatever they're called by their victims) need to pad that .5 game lead.

Of course, a few years prior to that Philly did have one hell of a team with Cochran behind the plate, Grove on the bump, Double X on 1st and a guy who went by the name of "Bucketfoot" in the OF.

Indeed, that was their only other good streak team where they won the 1980 series and came close a few of those years. 'Lefty' Steve Carlton was around, but the bullpen wasn't strong enough overall. Pitching is key to winning as you know, and they absolutely stunk with their farm teams with pitching recruitment as well as making stupid trades in other aspects, e.g.. the '5 for 1' trade dumping Julio Franco, Manny Trillo and 3 others for Von Hayes.

Are you trying to say that Americans aren't as violent as other people?

Talking about sports, you must watch a lot of Sky Sports News considering you have none other than channel's Georgie Thompson as your avatar and signature.

With that desk thing she looked kind of drab...plus i'd have to get up at like 9AM CST if i did want to catch her which never usually happens. I catch her on a League of their own now and then but i haven't watched SSN since...well Keegan got fired.
