Mmmmm...minty...

I don't know if anyone else here has a season ticket plan or package with any of the teams in the MLB, but I have a season package with the Yankees that gaurantees me one ticket for one game of each round of the playoffs. I've been doing this for four years now, and every year we get the post season order form mid to late September....I open my mailbox today, and low and behold....there's a bill for my post season tickets....and get this it's due by August 30, which just so happens to be the same date that the strike was set for.

I'm wondering if this is their way of making sure that if there is a short strike and a post season follows that tickets are sold and there's no refunding them? Very odd....odd indeed.

Anyone have any ideas, or get this kind of order form from another team?

well, they totally dominated iowa state in the first half, but now isu is rallying with a minute and a half to go, 38-31...

i know college football is bigger in the south, but i'm sure some of you watch, right? cls need not reply...
also, did the ncaa have preseason games before or is this a first?

Okay folks, this was the first place i thought of with my problem. You guys seem to know everything about these infernal machines.
I am a first-person shooter-multiplayer addict. I have been for a couple of years. The problem Is, my comp sucks. I get major lag and connection problems.
I need to know what components i need to buy to upgrade my machine for ONLY game playing. The only other thing i use it for is stupid websites, message boards and e-mail.


I have a bone-stock, no- upgrades Dell dimension xps t700r. My memory sucks, 1g, I think. Maybe its 1meg. I obviously know shit about computers.
It's got a pentium III, and a soundblaster pro card.
I dont care that much about my sound quality. What I want Is smoother and faster gameplay during games like Battlefield 1942 and SOFII.
I only have about 600 dollars free cash right now. What would be the best part, or parts I could get In this price range to Improve my machines performance ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah, I have a cable modem, so I dont think my connection Is the problem.

One of mine is Movie Theater Snacks.....
You buy a big Box of Candy for three dollars,

big plastic holder only half full or so with actual product...

I am taking next week off,
and aside from joining in on the fun on the 29th, I don't have any major plans,

I might just take some day trips and enjoy some local shit....
So considering the jump off point is central jersey,

anyone have any ideas for some fun things to do?

I wonder if Mcdonald's has compensated Kid for the use of his name.

Well at least this thread isn't about maynard.
