1.) Mega-excited! I get to see the DBacks, I’ll get an Eric Byrnes Bobblehead to go with my Matt Williams Bobblehead, I get to spend time with the Kishis, I’ll have an opportunity to go to Chipotle, and it’s like a vacation! Probably not going to dress up 80s-style, tho, as we’ve discussed, my 81 year old Mom will be dressed “80s style”. Teehee.
 
2.) Michael Phelps is an awesome athlete and I don’t think anyone will ever break that record. Didn’t he win every race he was in? So the best somebody could do would be to tie the record?

3.) No movies for me this weekend. Choices at the theater were limited, and there were baseball games and Olympics to watch.

Nah, I’m not dressing up. I was born in the middle of the ‘80s, so I can’t pretend to know what was happening. Giant glasses and parachute pants or something.

I finally saw Batman this weekend. Good stuff. I still don’t like how he does the deep voice when he has the Batman suit on.

Funny you mention movies, but me and the wife decided to just rent because the excitement was lacking for this week’s new releases. I’m actually pretty pumped about the movie Traitor coming out with Don Cheadle. I’ll be seeing that in a few weeks.

We brought home Rambo, and watched people get blown up for an hour and a half. Other than that, we were busy watching the Olympics. Is it just me, or is Shawn Johnson under four feet tall? I love rooting for her, but damn she’s tiny. Thanks for coming on the show again Jim. It was a blast.

How was Clone Wars?

1) I’m dressing up, 80’s style- invisible. OOOOH. I’m good, I know. :-(

2) I haven’t watched much of the Olympics.

3) I am officially a poor college student. No more movies for me. :-\

Baltimore Arizona!

1) I’m pretty excited for SnakepitFest, and I’m going to dress as an 80’s cliche, but probably pretty low key. I haven’t decided yet, though I might just go to Goodwill and grab some stuff and put together something. The Mrs., however, is going as punk, so maybe I will join her as that. I dunno yet.

2) Olympics? Eh, I just don’t have the time or ambition right now to try and follow anything. I guess this Phelps dude is pretty hardcore or something.
 
3) I saw both Mamma Mia and Clone Wars this weekend. Both were about the level I expected, so take that for what it’s worth. I really want to see Tropic Thunder though that might have to wait for a slower weekend, which the next two weekends certainly are not, between SnakepitFest/King’s X, and then going to Dallas for a bat mitzvah.

I’ve been researching Vintage Base Ball recently, and it’s something that really intrigues me. It’s like Civil War Reenactments, but with baseball. Apparently there are few teams around town. Intriguing, I say.

I figure this is a good thing to ask: Is anyone else really annoyed at that trailer for Babylon AD?? Aaahhh it gets on my nerves! (Don’t get me wrong, it looks like a cool movie, but I haaaate the trailer.)

Greg Maddux is going to the Dodgers

Great.

I had no clue we were going with the 80’s getup’s for the Snakepit fest … I’ll probably be rocking some regular ole D-Backs stuff, but i’m promising on a camera or two to get plenty of shots.

I’m buying textbooks.

Goodbye, $550. I’ll miss you.

No dressing up for Snakepitfest for me. Maybe one of my family members or friends i’m bring might.

Olympics? Could care less.

Tropic thunder looks amusing.

….but since we don’t have the Dbacks Daily anymore, this seems as good a place as any to post this: it’s an article by John Donovan detailing the effect that Mandy and Dunn have had on the Dodgers and Dbacks, respectively.

I’m definitely looking forward to SnakePitFest- though I may be bringing a Sharpie to see if I can modify my Eric Byrnes bobblehead to look like Adam Dunn. No plans to dress for 80s night.

recommends Southern Comfort Oatmeal. Well, you don’t have to tell me twice.

1. Nastia Liukin got robbed by that 9 year old Chinese girl, who won due to the tiebreaker even though she made a visibly significant error.

2. I don’t think anyone will break Michael Phelps’ new record, but the way world records routinely fall in int’l swimming competition, you never know.

My reply button doesn’t work at work (imagine that), so I am responding to your post here. Actually the gymnastics federation prefer double medals to be awarded — and at world championships, ties are not broken. But at the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee’s rules apply and thus, ties must be broken. However, if 2 gold medals would have been awarded, there would have been no silver awarded for the 2nd highest score, just a bronze.
