I spent 6 days n nights in Puerto Plata prison

[Western Playboy]

I used to rent server space for my home based business in the Dominican Republic so we used to travel there a few times a year. I don't like the place because the people are all over you like flys on shit, or ants on a discarded popcycle or something. It's a very poor country and everyones beggin. I had a dispute once with a hotel clerk over a bill, and long story short I tried to leave without paying it. I don't recomend that in a place like that- Pay the bill with a credit card, and dispute the charges when you get home.. Anyway I spent a week in prison there and it was bad, but not that bad. I made a few friends, got a great tan, and lost a few pounds so I came out better than I went in, but i'll tell ya something. I've been all over the world, i've sen a lot of hungry people, but those Haitians and Dominicans are probably the hungriest I ever seen. Worse than in Rio. They'll kill ya for $20.

So take the Cleveland Indiands +105 tonight over the Chicago White Sox..After facing Peavy last night Gavin Floyd is gonna look like a BP pitcher, and Faustino Carmona from the Dominica Repbuplic is just hungrier. He's hungrier!

He's thier Ace, they are in first place, and it's a division game

All the proverbial stars are lining up on this one boys


GO, Bet, NOW

I'm on a roll
I'm in love with Jake Peavey tonight

Fun Fact: Faustino's record in night games where the temperature is under 70 degrees is almost perfect.

don't know where you are getting your "fun facts" from (Bazooka Joe gum wrappers maybe), but here is Carmona's record in night games throughout his career. I have no idea about what the temperatures were--but I wonder how you would either:

2011: 2-1
2010: 10-11
2009: 3-9
2008: 7-5
2007: 10-7
2006: 0-7


total career record at night is 32-40.

That's "almost perfect" ???

The temperature is the key to the stat my friend, thats why I mentioned it...Faustino is overweight and he despite being from Dominica, he doesn't like the heat..

Speaking of great guitar players and ants on popcycles, I got a story..

In the late 70's, maybe early 80's a girl I know had an extra front row seat to see YES (in the round) at the International Amphatheater. I did'nt like YES, I thought they sounded like a bunch of gay english mistrels or somethin, but I went anyway .........and I still think it might be the best concert I ever saw.

I liked groups like Sabbath and Zepplin back then and that show was much better than those. I could'nt believe how good Steve Howe was. They were there for 3 nights and so I was so impressed with the show that me and a few other friends bought tickets for the next nights show. We got seats in the top row of the balcony because thats all that was left. We did a couple hits of blotter each and got in there just as the lights were going down..I was trippin my brains out and it felt like ants were crawlin all over my legs..I told (yelled over the music) my that buddies that bugs were crawlin up legs, and they laughed..I could feel the little bugs through my pants, but even I started thinkin I was imagining it..Anyway after the show the lights came up and under my seat was a box of melted Ice Milk Bars..Looked like some vendor from a previous show just dumped them there- The box, and the melted ice cream were was seething with ants...I wasn't just imagining it!

Anyway that show was as heavy metal as any I ever saw, and I never saw anybody's hands move so fast over the fret board as I did that night..Just badd ass Awesome..Much better than Stevie Ray Hendrix impersonator in your avatar, and whos the other guy..john mclaughlin?

FUN FACT: Faustinos four-year $15 million contract extension through 2011 has three individual club options through 2014. If the deal maxes out, Carmona will make $43 million, with the potential to make another $5 million in escalators.

the funny thing is that, behind his bizarre Cosmo Kramer-like musings, I do agree that Yes sounded like "gay English minstrels", and I have always been a Steve Howe fan. He is a great guitarist. And he couldn't hold a candle to Stevie Ray Vaughan. No doubt in my mind he'd be the first one to tell you that. The guy with Stevie in the avatar is his brother, Jimmie Vaughan (from The Fabulous Thunderbirds).

GL on your plays.

Al demeola is great too, but if you can't stand listening to it, even for a second- Then you'd have to say he sucks..It's supposed to be entertainment afterall

I put Stevie Ray in that same catagory

Nothing better than renting server space from an island that gets hammered with tropical storms.

I moved my operation to Purto Vallarta, Mexico-

We left that island 2 days before the big Hatian quake..I wasn't supposed to cross the border into Haiti with the rental car, but I did it anyway on that trip- and a week after we spent the entire day and much of the night drinkin, shoppin, and eatin in Port au Prince....It was all gone







Forever
