Pet names. Ordinary or not?

novataylor @novataylor (6570) • United States 20 Feb 09

A new (and wonderful) friend suggsted that I do a discussion on pet names after I revealed the names of my three cats to him. I think he liked 'em. They're definitely not the run of the mill sort of pet names. No Spot or Fluffy...

Are you excited about the upcoming baseball season?

jakeb1 @jakeb1 (562) • United States 13 Feb 09

Spring Training is right around the corner, and baseball season will officially start in only 2 short months. There are many questions this season like: Which team will Manny play for?, Are the Yankees going to choke again with...

budman66 There is NO curse on the Cubs team,or any other team.The reality of baseball is that you can go to the playoffs for the next 20 years stright & still not make it to the world series.

MLB Network

Reesers @Reesers (1387) • United States 15 Jan 09

Does anyone else have the MLB Network? As you may have guessed, it's a channel devoted to baseball. It debuted on New Year's Day but I just discovered it last week and was immediately hooked. I've been hoping for something like...

budman66 Like you,I love baseball & the idea of a 24 hour channel baseball only is a great idea.However if this program features Yankee,Red Sox,Dodger,Mets & gives little of the other ML teams it will not catch on with the majority of baseball fans.

Are you a dog or a cat person?

Chelsea1992 @Chelsea1992 (44) • United States 18 Nov 08

I will deffinitely have to say that I am indeed a dog person. I get afraid of the cats when their claws come out. Although I do not dislike cats because they are cute just like dogs, I just get afraid of their claws. So how about...

Steve West @zebra2222 (5268) • United States 14 Sep 08

The end of the baseball season is approaching. There are some close races. Who do you think is going to the World Series. Will it be the Chicago Cubs? How about Boston Red Sox? Let me know what your predictions are.

budman66 As a 40+ year fan of the Chicago Cubs I am always living in hope that I will some day get to see my beloved Cubs play in a World Series.That being said it would be heaven on earth if they would win the World Series.
