"screw" + "balls"????

That sucks...there's definitely nothing sex-related on the site and it was never anything else in the past. I'm really curious what would trigger that other than the keyword "twins".

That's weird. Maybe because "Twins" is in the domain name? But you probably would know that already since you wouldn't be able to access the Twins official site. That's the only thing I can come up with based on the domain name. The content certainly has nothing to do with sex.

Finally, a trophy that's fun and functional!

Here's a pic of the traveling trophy that goes with the award!

But then I could write home to Mom and tell her I was "Half-Baked Commenter of the Week"...
Then she'd probably give me some lecture about the dangers of drugs, and it would get all awkward. On second thought, maybe that's one of those awards you just celebrate privately.

Wonderful, Mak. I like this feature, and I'll nominate Big Mak for Half-Baked Commentator of the Week. Unfortunately, the bar has been set pretty high now.

That reply is to "twinsnation", not you SBG.

I can't access your site at work. Websense category "Sex." No idea why.

isn't Benson on IR? Which would place Anna ... "under wraps"????

If I would have written it, it would have been down at the Half Baked Crap level. Cheers to guys like AMR and Big Mak (today) and the other guest writers who have made this site fun for me again.

I like this feature too. I had the same idea over at my home on the net, but you've definitely done a better job than me. You better scale back the quality before your "half-baked crap" slogan stops making sense.

Actually, she is on the charts, just high up. I calculated Anna's VORW (Value Over Replacement Wife) to be 123.7 (adjusted for city and era).

I'm all for posting pics of Ms. Benson. Scouting the opposing team involves looking at all aspects of their organization. Anna's "intangibles" are off-the-charts.

I quite like this feature.

Nice preview. For what was once a storied franchise, the Orioles have mostly been flying under the radar the past few seasons.

I like that the guys at Roar from 34 make a point of letting us know that they donâ€™t discuss Anna Benson. And Iâ€™m willing to count that as a point in their favor.

Does "not discussing" Anna Benson preclude pictures from being posted?

I actually didn't have a video, I was just clicking on everything to see what it did. It's one of my weaknesses, give me a button to press and I'll push it.

Good stuff, Big Mak! The "cool player" thing doesn't work (I need to get rid of that). If you had a video to play, put the link in a comment and I'll post it.
