Right, Vinnie Delpino aka Benny Fazio.

Wasn't he the one who got into it with Artie Bucco a few seasons back?

Speaking of guys who look like Ralph Macchio, whatever became of Benny, the young capo played by Doogie Howser's best friend Max Casella?

Holy crap that was some episode. RIP Sil and Bobby.

As several have speculated, turning informant to save his family seems to be the likely course for Tony now, which is why we should probably expect a different ending.

Was Melfi really so naive all these years that she didn't understand that Tony was lying to her at nearly every turn? That was a great scene at the dinner party, and another in her office with Tony afterward when they broke up.

So much for A.J. stepping up to lead the family. He should be back in the institution.

Got a winner already. Thanks for playing.

Ticketmaster gave me a freebie, so I'm passing it along. First person to PM me gets a code for one free iTunes download.

FWIW, I have no quarrel with A-Rod going to strip clubs.

The Nationals have been shut out for 18 consecutive innings by the Dodgers' pitching staff. I think it's time to retire the "Go Nationals" subheading of this thread.

Rodriguez claims it happens to him 3 or 4 times a week -- I find that hard to believe -- but my gut reaction is the same as the Blue Jays, "bush league." Just like when he tried to swat the ball on that run to first a few years ago. Jeez, he's like the most talented physical athlete in the game, why does he have to pull crappy little stunts like that? His justification is that they're desperate for a win and didn't want to get swept. So that makes it OK? Or it's OK because everyone else does it to him? If my daughter pulled that crap in a little league softball game I'd bench her.

If baseball didn't have an A-Rod to kick around, it would have to invent one.

Who's loved more, A-Rod or Terrell Owens?

But anyway ... A-Rod, for the first time in a while, vaguely resembles a normal, breathing human being this morning.

I guess Michael Vick has been taking some of the heat off him lately.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, bring an umbrella too.

Playing Baltimore and Cinci didn't hurt, either.

Baltimore took 2 out of 3 from the Nats, but Cincy and Florida definitely rolled over for them. And St. Louis last night.

Don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but since the topic of this thread was changed to "Go Nationals", the Nats have won 10 of their last 14 games and pushed Cincinnati down into last place. I think they've also led the league in scoring over the past 5 or 6 games.

The power of Via Chicago knows no limits.

Wear a hat, and bring sunscreen and bottled water. Bring earplugs -- the foam kind that you roll between your fingers and insert deep into the ear canal are effective. Skip the over-ear hearing protectors unless you like sweating from your ears. Bring an AM/FM walkman that can play loud enough to be heard through your earplugs so you can follow the race. From any vantage point at Indy you can see at best 1/8 of the track, so it's good to follow along on the radio. Look for one of the shuttle bus services that takes you to the racetrack, or plan on parking very far away and walking. Expect unbelievable levels of traffic on local interstates and surface streets. Get drunk and have a great time. Stay hydrated.

Who is Brett Ratner -- is he like the Randy Jackson of the film world?

with only 2 shows left, not sure we have the time to invest in making AJ a terrorist.

A.J.? Al Jazeera? Think about it.

News flash: too much of anything is bad for you.

For the record -- it's "Labyrinth."

Wish I had more to contribute to this thread, but I haven't seen the movie yet.

a guy sitting in front of me at the tigers game had this jersey on yesterday.

Do you suppose Barry gets a piece of that action?

I just want to say here and now that the practice (engaged in by Baltimore fans) of shouting "O" during the national anthem is obnoxious and disrespectful and ought to be banned.

Two layers of sheetrock with an insulating material like foam in between then is kind of the norm for home theatres and the like.

Don't forget about windows and doors, which are huge sound leaks.
