I still do not like the wild card. After 162 games the 4 divison leaders should go, it is not a short season, why play that hard all year. OH THATS RIGHT TV MONEY, is more important than tradition. This even hold for my Mets, if you have to get in with the Wild Card, you shouldn't be there in the first place; I remember no post season; just the teams with the 2 best f reocrds in either league got in PERIOD THE END 160 games, and the best record used to mean something a whole lot more. On the plus side of the system we have we have 2 cities with the possiblity of an in sate World Series. They need better access and better announcers during the post season I am glad they are having some earlier games this season so the kids can watch the whole thing on school nights If my Father was still alive, Met's or no Met's he would be rooting for his beloved Dodgers, even though they desserted Brooklyn and we could never say the name O Malley in our house again :

Hey Burley: See i told you me rooting for a team is like the kiss of death anymore. So I am Officially Announcing I AM NO LONGER ROOTING FOR THE CUBS there that should help things a bit

Shore fishing : 411 a few mroe if I am on the boat ;D

BPS EXTREME< they will go on sale for 60 bucks in the fall you can't beat that for value. Those reels are so good for the money. I have had a lot of experience using them, I just prefer another brand more. These reels are dependable and offer good value for the money

Jusy bustin on you my friend

I give you some help FFD: Yep I do believe that is Jerry Lee Lewis cousin, he married! ;D

Thats what you told your wife, to expalin all that crap in your closet, I ain't buying that for a minute

Man that's some load to carry, what a Sept. it has been for you and your family. Hang in there, you are a model for every young man here about carrying on no matter what

Oh, you mean like the baseball managers say, my rented Peurto Rican can beat your leased Dominican? I knew that was coming, I thought it would be from Burley ;D

Please search some back threads from LBH, DO NOT PUT TREATED PLYWOOD NEAR ALUMINUM. It can cause issues.

Hey Gary:

I have had a few. They are a well made rod, I just prefer Cabelas Fish Eagle II's and Fenwicks. I did a lot of experimenting, there is nothing bad to say about All Stars, just my prefences.

Try this: ala Catt and 4 Bizzle, FISH DEEP TO SHALLOW>> changed the way I fish, much for the better. Find the deepest part of the channel and toss it in the deppest part, and fish back to you shallow. Keep the bait moving and in contact with the bottom, oh and hold onto your rod, one of mine is in the lake, on the freakin bottom :

No I am not a football fan, on any level. I am a Mets ( Baseball) and a St JOHNS( College Hoops) fan, Other than that growing up it was girls and music for me 8-) Never got the hockey thing either; It was like our rented French Canadian can beat your rented French Canadian

I would rather be Actually I like to see how you fellas are all fans of yur home town teams, I am not a football fan, I know thats un American or something so I get a lot of entertainment outta all your threads 8-)

I am gonna go out on a limb here but I think one of the best suggestions for a SMALL RETAIL BUSINESS, is to get a job in the field. We are not talking major banking and investment here. Your ability to judge your market,feel the pulse of a new oproduct, compete with places like BPS and Cabelas and most important your PEOPLE SKILLS: relationships with your staff and customers CAN NOT BE LEARNED IN A CLASSSROOM.

More like 30, keep it honest ;D

Actually it was a place where I spent a lot of time with my Father, Uncles cousins and fella from the nighborhood. A place where a kid from Brooklyn could actually smell the grass being cut. It's where my father taught me how a defense should line up on a pull hitter on a must hit straight away situation, and why. I t's where I actually got to talk to my favorite player of all times : ST.Louis Cardnial Pitcher BOB GIBSON> ps we did not have to wait all that long in 5 short years the Mets were the best in Basehall in 1969, beating an excellent Baltimore Oriole Club , We lost so many games the first year 140, and that record will never be broken! That was not at Shea, that was in 62, up in the Polo Grounds.

I hate to say this, because me rooting for a team has been the kiss of death lately but I am pulling for the Cubs! How could you not, all those years and some of the most loyal and dedicated fans in the game

If your going to release the fish, PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!!!!! Just get a freaking scale. Well you did it, in your picture on the jig thread, your bass is next to your rod in your kayak. What's up with that : http://plan-b.smugmug.com/photos/362185918_byrLD-M.jpg

I guess the do not ever lay your fish down next to your rod post, doesn't apply to this pic ;D

They got watered down

One simple question and it turns into another event

The Rays are strong but the Angels look to be the team to beat if they get out of the first round this year. This is where the Sox will miss Manny, in short 7 game elimination series. Too bad they had to part ways.

And MAKE SURE SHE HAS A BASS BOAT! All kidding aside: a lot of retail success comes from location. There are research compaines that will give you a good idea of the demographics of an area: such as disposable income traffic probability need competitors taxes etc, etc while this may cost you a few bucks it really can help you look for your best area to open up in. Rather than that Lake looks good!
