The Tampa Bay rays are up 6-0 on the Texas Rangers in the 3rd inning.
Anybody see the Rays - Yankees game night before last?
It's being called the best regular season game ever played...... The Rays came back, scored 6 runs in the 8th inning from a 7-0 defecit.
Then, with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th tied the game with a home run on a 3-2 pitch to go into xtra innings.
They won the game in 12th with a walk off homer by Evin Longoria....baseball history, it was great!

Try getting a Netflix streaming account. We gave up all the premium movie channels and for $8 a month we watch stuff from Netflix. No commercials, you can get movies, old tv shows, foreign TV and movies (love British detective shows and Dr. Who). I have a wireless router, a blue ray player with a wireless connection and that's it. I can pick what I watch over the TV or by my laptop.

I haven't had a TV since 1968. I like it that way because I don't waste a lot of time watching bad to mediocre stuff. I strongly prefer print media to video.

I go to lots of movies in theaters but in each case I select what I'm seeing carefully and there's no watching whatever is next in a movie theater.

I'm going to a British movie called "Brighton Rock" tonight.

Not Yet - probably a great deal like the one in India (I think) --- I was a litle surprised at Dave's attitude up north after his team spirit with Lisa and Rick over there. I guess they need the DRAMA.

Yep i think the History channel encourages drama..for ratings..

TV today is mostly pure crap, I am so sick of the inane garbage reality shows like Big Brother, Amazing Race, Survivor, etc I want to puke. One of my favorites was the original CSI, set in Las Vegas, but after William Petersen left it went straight downhill...

The original NCIS with Kate was really good, when she was killed off and they replaced her, straight downhill there too. Big Bang is one of the few programs I really look forward to seeing, though. Just so funny.

The stupid networks kill off the really decent programs, anybody remember Jericho? A really original program and plot, and they killed it off. Morons. "Men of a Certain Age" was one of the best shows in recent memory and they killed that off too.

Amazes me how they continue junk like "Americas got Talent, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars", etc. Pure garbage.

What galls me most of all about TV is the stupid, inane commercials that now occupy half the length of the program...used to me a half hour show was 22 minutes actual show, now it's 15 program/15 commercial. And don't get me started on the overpaid, overhyped actors, who in their right mind thinks Ashton is worth 3/4 million per show, he gets to mouth words written by other people for 15 minutes to earn 3/4 million dollars. I hope Demi wakes up and squeezes his b----s off.

What about the original Law & Order?

Had a great season? They are in the playoffs right now, against the Yankees. They have arguably the best pitcher in the game right now in Justin Verlander.
If they win, and the Rays win, the Rays will play the Tigers for the ALCS (American League Championship series).
But I don't think those stinkin Tigers have what it takes to win the big games, they will be swept by the Yanks....I hate the yanks
The Lions are serious, they beat my Buccaneers on opening day 20-27.

The Rays spanked the Rangers 9-0 final

TV sucks 99% of the time.I hardly watch it.
I got well over 200 channels and half the time there ain't any worth watching. One can't even trust the news no more for accuracy.
I like shows like the swamp gator hunters ,but like the rest of these reality shows they are prob rigged for drama.
Canadian pickers is so lame,it sqeeks:thumbdown:

I like a good movie like "the patriot" and such but one can see them only once a year,not every friggin monthSeems like they rerun 5 movies over and over

And then ofcourse we got the COMMERCIALS for 60 % of the time.:tongue:

Oh Yeah,i forget "hockey",..... jeez what a show :thumbdown

And then they say i'm so negative :biggrin:

You sound like: JDgreen, the Canadian edition. :shocked:
I find Swamp People watchable but your right they do over dramatize make it sound like Gator hunting is a lot more dangerous than it is, as well as exagerate the weight of some of the gators. I particularly like the 2 bearded brothers that are gray and missing most of thier teeth. The 2 that squirrel hunt from the front porch:laughing:.
