Why didn't the breaker go off on Thursday and halt trading for 15 minutes? Isn't that usually the case when giant swings occur?

Were any of the buy orders for $.01 executed?

Sorry, busy week at work, trying to catch up.

Didn't pass the 10% threshold.

Greenspan I just wanted to give you a shoutout on the Money Board as well for your "work" tonight. I don't think you'll get one on here otherwise.



Greenspan is $$$$$$$$$

Or for Rivers:

Greenspan gives you "thanks from ban land".

Getting the hammer gives him an excuse to not waste time on TD. It's a form of forced restraint.

I believe he is referring to Greenspan posting some rally pictures of semi-nude women in the Vandy game thread on The Rant which obviously was the only reason LSU was able to pull the game out. I checked out the game thread after I got home last night.

I went to that game last night, sitting in my spectacular season tickets grandstand seats. That was one ucking-fuggly pitching game, but AWESOME!!!

I mean, they sound nice, but my student section tickets in the bleachers have a quaint charm about them.

I got to sit in the champions club one time, I kind of regret it, because I now longingly look at those seats and think about how nice it would be to walk down and grab a quick bourbon and coke.

Would you like to sit in the grandstands tonight? I might have an extra ticket.

My wife is debating on whether she can handled two 4+ hour baseball games in a row.

I've already promised my mom I would take her out to dinner for Mother's day tonight since I have to miss the festivities tomorrow because of finals, however, if you ever have an extra ticket, I would be more than delighted to accompany you.

In that case, I might have an extra ticket for Sunday's game. I even have a parking pass for tomorrow. Park in the paved lot next to the Box.

I think I still have your email address. It's a gmail account right? And your email name before the "@" is an 'e'...correct?

Or, are finals putting too much pressure on you to go to the game tomorrow?

I definitely shouldn't I have a final on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. However, any time after Wednesday, I am good to go.

YGM.

I got your email. That is the address I thought was yours. I've received quite a few emails from posters and I lose track of who's who sometimes.

Regarding games after Wednesday, there are only 3 more home games in the regular season after tomorrow. Those games are vs. Miss. State and are on 5/20, 5/21 and 5/22. Yes, the series begins on a Thursday and not a Friday. The last SEC series always begins on a Thursday to give the SEC tournament eligible teams an extra day to prepare for and travel to the SEC tournament which will begin on the next Wednesday after the season ends.

If I have an extra ticket for any of the Miss. St. games, I'll email you.

Do you know those dudes who are always cooking behind the left field foul pole?

No, I don't. Why do you ask? Are you one of them?

I usually enter the Box either through the main gate or the right field gate. I didn't know about the LF tailgaters.... Why did you ask about them? Are they trouble makers?

Nope. I had a hunch that you were somebody who comes out of that back parking lot area. Guess not.

Yeah, I hadn't thought about the season ending at all. Oh well.

Thanks for offering. I really appreciate it. No big deal if you don't have any extras. I can always watch from right field.

Nope. Not me. I prefer to get on inside and watch batting practice and infield practice.

I truly don't understand the whole "let's go stand around in the parking lot before the game and get drunk" idea.

.... And you call yourself an LSU fan


FWIW, I don't understand baseball tailgating either. I also don't understand the logic behind tailgating before a football game either, but I do enjoy eating delicious food and partying like it's 1999 without being judged by anyone.

I think the latter part of my above statement has a lot to do with the original question. It's like guys who have an expensive duck lease, but go and get so drunk at night that they can't wake up to go hunting.
