Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
For those of you keeping score, the Reds scored three runs against Pedro in the 1st, but the Mets managed to tie the game up in the 3rd.
I can't get the broadcast on AM radio at my desk, but the internets inform me that it's top of the 8th, Reds trailing by 2. They're still in it, baby.
(The yipyip monsters always scared me when I was a kid. Don't know why.)
The yipyip monsters were always my favorites.
The Sesame Street "near...far" just gave me the first true happy I've had all day.
From the first moment I saw Titanic, and heard the chorus of that awful Celine Dion song, I always heard Grover singing it.

I bought the MLB Gameday audio package for just such a problem. I'm listening to the game right now, AIFG.
MFNLaw found one the same links I was gonna post. But I also found this one which explains the torque vs. horsepower in somewhat simpler terms.
ita, for example, my old silver MX-6 had 110 hp @4700 rpm, and 130 ft-lbs torque @ 3000 rpm. My newer turbo version of that same car has 145 hp and 190 ft-lb. More torque = more wheee! aka getting pushed back in your seat, aka, pep.
I'm assuming that your use of "pep" is somewhat synonymous with "acceleration."
It's as good an assumption as any, and better than most.
I'm skimming reviews trying to find out what's peppier than my VR6 Jetta. Which looks like this:
So I'm going to, then, focus on comparable accelerations, and look best at stuff with higher or equivalent horsepower and torque. And then maybe that engine size thing. Is the roadholding index from 0-1?
whee! hee!
in my head lori is saying WHEEEE! really loud and scooting around lab in office chair.
laughing like a goon myself.
I love trash
anything dirty or rotten or rusty
I am loving that Nutty is already taunting other teams for their mediocrity and Hillenbrand-having.
Not taunting. Well, only a little. Seriously, considering they're the 2nd-nearest AL team to me, I know nothing about TOR. Although, I expect to know more about them next year, when they have longer purse strings.
I am not loving the news from Nutty about comebackers to the face since Emmett will probably be pitching this year.
Schilling got hit on his pitching hand twice in one game, in 2003. It wasn't till the second hit that it occurred to him he might have broken bones. (He did.)
I found an article online that proclaimed Mussina's broken nose was the best reason to keep pro bats wooden instead of aluminum. Off a metal bat, that ball could have killed him. (As it was, he got 20 stitches, but was pitching again 3 weeks later.)
That said, I bet grade school leagues do not have pitchers that throw in the 90s, so the balls, even off metal bats, do not come back at 100mph.

Well, they didn't before all the kids started taking steroids.
