I really dislike the Yankees, but it's too bad that one owner died (His name escapes me at the moment). Some people say that it could slightly overshadow the All-Star game. I don't think that, but then again, I don't watch the All-Star game.

You should last tim the Nationals won over the American 1996.

No score in the top of the 3rd.

For years, cards depicting the starting all-stars were a regular part of Topps' set. Such as these from 1982 ('81 all star game):

Then, starting in 1997, they mysteriously disappeared. They came back in 2003, but then disappeared again in 2006.

This has to be one of the least offensive all star games ever.

3-1 National so far threw 7 looks like the streak will end tonight.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm going to go eat something now.

Yeah... I couldn't think of anything related to sports to say.

Well Webber won the Silverstone GP so I am happy

That is all....

Finally the NL gets a win.

Roger, every time I see the pic in your sig, for a split second I think it is Pittsburgh PA. Remarkably close.

Or maybe it's just me...

That's just a virtual recreation, anyway.

About thime the NL won i wasen't old enough to understand what was going on last time they did.

[Korot 6]

6792. Still talking about sports?

[Duke87 1,070]

Not continuously, but it keeps comping up. You can blame Larks.

True, but pretty accurate. I just couldn't find a pic from the proper angle to show the connection I was seeing.

@ Duke then find me another topic

[Skimbo 304]

Hehe, I had a different job today.

It sounds not very dificult: I had to look that drivers of an oldtimer race come to the tecnical control of their vehicles one after another and that they do not cause a chaotic situartion next to the garage. Most of them stayed friendly and patient. But some thought to be more important than the rest and behaved just like small kids who want to be the next one at the garage even if 20 others where waqiting before them...... << I did not expect this behavior, especially not from good educated and rich people....

[Korot 6]

6797. @Skimbo: Remember, no matter how rich they are, they're still humans. And I think that acting like you're more important then everybody else is something to expect especially from rich people.

[Muck308 55]

6798

Where do you work, Skimbo?

[Skimbo 304]

6799

I'm just helping here, check it out.

(PS: the german part of the website is bigger, I would recomend you to use a translator to read it)

[Korot 6]

6800. That site could really use a 'what are we' section. I understand it's some sort of race?

[Larks2242 251]

6801.

Hmm...well at least we got a topic

[Skimbo 304]

It's one of austria's best known oldtimer events. it consists of driveing the old cars at an specific average speed over huge distances (Orange proloque, 335km and Orange marathon, 514 km) up on a mountain (The "Stoderzinken") and on a small city track at Gröbming/Ennstal/Styria. (every secound the drivers are not in time brings points. The one with the less points at the end wins.) and an huge evening programm

Than you can see a lot of well known and or important persons... even people like Stirling Moss or Rowan atkinson (<

PS: Some may notice the B320 next to Gröbming - I still hate this road.

[Korot 6]

6803. Thanks for the info, Skimbo!

Sounds complicated and long.....I like it!

[Larks2242 251]

6805.

Indeed, sounds fun too.

And I've packed up most of the stuff for vacation which I'm leaving for tomorrow.

[Duke87 1,070]

(6807)

Jeez! I go out for a few hours and the floodgates open!

[Muck308 55]

6808

Sounds like a nice gig, Skimbo. Rowan Atkinson is the guy who played Mr. Bean, am I right?

Be safe in your travels, BL. Where to?

[Vahr 341]

Thanks, VA Beach.

[Duke87 1,070]

(6810)

Never been to Virginia Beach, but I have been to Norfolk. That's pretty close.
