well, it worked for the twins today!

I agree, Harris was up next

PK 1-1 2-1 8 at the wall

I really loved Robin and to me 23 is also Ventura - not some basketball plater of some scrubs player but #23 is not retired nor should it be and the Sox have waited a while to assign it so I am cool with it, although it took me a while to get accustomed to it

agreed

we have been very good this season in extra innings, haven't we? what is our record, oh stats people?

Harris 0-1 1-1 showed bunt 102 foul swinging KC inning over

Mags (damn I hate to see him bat with runner at first, 1 out) Thomas out, Rowan in to pinch run 0-1 1-1 1-2 foul 2-2 7 double Mags Rowan out at plate Mags at 3rd

Frank 0-1 1-1 2-1 single 6

Lee count 1-2 -- 2-2 -- foul -- foul -- KS 1 out

we win in the bottom of the 9th and everyone thinking the end of the world was at hand in the top of the 8th can relax --- we do it this way just for drama! No one wants a dull game!

we will get the lead right back

7th inning 6-3 Sandy single 8 Robbie double CLee, Robbie holds at 3rd IW Frank Boston made the move I would given Mags propensity to hit into double plays Mags single 6 Robbie scores 6 Everett K PK 9 LOB

as I was saying a while back....

7th inning 6-3 Sandy single 8 Robbie double CLee, Robbie holds at 3rd IW Frank Boston made the move I would given Mags propensity to hit into double plays Mags single 6 Robbie scores

7th inning 6-3 Sandy single 8 Robbie double 7 CLee, Robbie holds at 3rd

Nomar Ks maybe JM knew something

2 out top of 7th 2-2 damn wish PK would have caught that foul ball

right, exactly - glad we have a smart catcher back there, that was the smart play not the instinctive play

I am not sure I understand this pitching change -anyone have an idea why right now?

double play away from our half of the inning where we take back the lead

interesting you post this today - I hads a beautiful young Brazilian woman from Rio as my physical therapist yesterday and today and when it comes to having an attractive woman manipulate one's muscles, I think a Brazilian woman tops of the list of my favorites. She says she has visitied Recife, told me a little about the differences between northern people and those from Rio (you probably wouldn't like what she said but you'd forgive her because she is beautiful) but said she loves to visit the north and you guys have the best coconut water, I think is what she said. Bra-zil! Bra-zil! Bra-zil!

I will embrace and be everything you despise. It is called the incarnation, and our call to be incarnate with all who are oppressed. BABI YAR By Yevgeni Yevtushenko Translated by Benjamin Okopnik, 10/96 No monument stands over Babi Yar. A steep cliff only, like the rudest headstone. I am afraid. Today, I am as old As the entire Jewish race itself. I see myself an ancient Israelite. I wander o'er the roads of ancient Egypt And here, upon the cross, I perish, tortured And even now, I bear the marks of nails. It seems to me that Dreyfus is myself. The Philistines betrayed me - and now judge. I'm in a cage. Surrounded and trapped, I'm persecuted, spat on, slandered, and The dainty dollies in their Brussels frills Squeal, as they stab umbrellas at my face. I see myself a boy in Belostok Blood spills, and runs upon the floors, The chiefs of bar and pub rage unimpeded And reek of vodka and of onion, half and half. I'm thrown back by a boot, I have no strength left, In vain I beg the rabble of pogrom, To jeers of "Kill the Jews, and save our Russia!" My mother's being beaten by a clerk. O, Russia of my heart, I know that you Are international, by inner nature. But often those whose hands are steeped in filth Abused your purest name, in name of hatred. I know the kindness of my native land. How vile, that without the slightest quiver The antisemites have proclaimed themselves The "Union of the Russian People!" It seems to me that I am Anna Frank, Transparent, as the thinnest branch in April, And I'm in love, and have no need of phrases, But only that we gaze into each other's eyes. How little one can see, or even sense! Leaves are forbidden, so is sky, But much is still allowed - very gently In darkened rooms each other to embrace. -"They come!" -"No, fear not - those are sounds Of spring itself. She's coming soon. Quickly, your lips!" -"They break the door!" -"No, river ice is breaking..." Wild grasses rustle over Babi Yar, The trees look sternly, as if passing judgement. Here, silently, all screams, and, hat in hand, I feel my hair changing shade to gray. And I myself, like one long soundless scream Above the thousands of thousands interred, I'm every old man executed here, As I am every child murdered here. No fiber of my body will forget this. May "Internationale" thunder and ring *3* When, for all time, is buried and forgotten The last of antisemites on this earth. There is no Jewish blood that's blood of mine, But, hated with a passion that's corrosive Am I by antisemites like a Jew. And that is why I call myself a Russian!

whether you care or not is up to you but ignorance of the Holocaust and a comparison of cyber forum baseball moderators to the perpetraors of Auchwitz is obscene. And I know far, far more than you do about the swastika, my friend, and what was posted was not an ancient Aryan symbol, what was posted was a Nazi flag - and since the Nazi era any contemporary use of the swastika is a referance to the Nazis anyway. Now you know a lot more than me about the minor leagues. But there is a far wider reality than the oh so horrid cruelty of a wsi mod banning a poster and that does not compare to Shoah.

LOL! I wasn't sure anybody would "catch" on, but you sure did. to you and thanks. well, hell[er], nothing gets by me! (at least nothing literary...) (most of the time...) (maybe...)
