thankig yao

you need to tap on the runner during the at-bat, the computer cheats though. I'm successful 1/3 I steal but I can only throw the computer out maybe 1/5 times, even though I always see the guy take off and tap furiously on the 2nd base icon.

think each batter has a running speed as well, it's on the bottom left of the card. rollins has an A but prince fielder has a D, so I think that's right.

my team right now is rollins, fielder, pujols, and howard 1-4 and then it doesn't really matter after that because they just kill! the game got too easy so I haven't been playing it recently, instead been doing drop 7 and trainyard... my pitchers are halladay, verlander, greinke, vazquez, and paneiro, w/ bell as the closer and belisario, thornton, o'day, and saito as my relief.

Yao, as is his nature, was upbeat in light of a setback that throws a shadow over his future.

"I haven't died," he said. "Right now I'm drinking a beer and eating fried chicken. What were you expecting, a funeral?"

Apparently, Yao's entire life is not centered in basketball to the point where he can't feel happy just eating fried chicken. He's so sane that he makes people like KG and Kobe look, er, somewhat unbalanced.

probably relieved not to be ~~the hope of a new china~~ any longer

prob just at home stacking his money as high as himself

hey ya'll just wanted to let ya'll know my foot is nothing serious, I'm just chilling at home eating fried chicken and drinking beer

I'll be happy to take any questions from ILH

lol

dayo is that maybe a sudachi in the .jpg upthread??

I dunno! but do you want some beer and/or fried chicken?

arby's, those are labeled taiwanese mandarin oranges which are closer to mikan or satsuma in japanese, but these look way greener. those also look much bigger than sudachi.

i would love some beer and fried chicken but i'm on a diet... in december. :(

those oranges look a lot like what they call 'sweet limes' in nepal

btw would luv beer and/or fried chicken

pretty sure those are fruits

ice cram, you are welcome to have some beer and/or fried chicken, just come fly down to houston and ask for 'yao'

SS, you can do so too when you are finished dieting

cool i will go to houston and ask for yao then i will have beer and fried chicken

rip

i just found out about this! omg ;_;

missing yao

THIS SUCKS SO MUCH

just noticed yao is about 20 days older than me and he is retired from basketball.

gonna have fun thinking about that for the rest of the day.

if yao and his wife ever have a son he's def gonna be like 9 feet tall. yao's wife is 6'2

iirc to get the height of a child u have to add up its parents height

that is why i am 11'8"

this puts accusations of you being double morbidly obese in new light then

really can't believe your dad is only 3'5" though

sports illustrated just had a feature last week about retired nba centers. not exactly a surprise, but shawn bradley has 6 kids and lives on a ranch in utah.
