F**k off, douchebag! I have forgotten more than you'll ever know/learn.

I can make that differentiation....all I am saying is that: 1) I think you are overrating the Cubs; 2) I think you are undderating the Sox; and 3) The only reason the Cubs may be closer to the WS than the Sox is because the NL SUCKS! The Yankees, Redsox, Angels, A's are better than ANY team in the NL, the Whitesox, Twins and Mariners are just as good as any NL team! :fthecubs

Stern and Moore both have valid reasons to hate/distrust the current Administration! (Cuz it SUCKS!!!)

"And the beat goes on...." :headshake

Last time I looked, the Sox pounded the cubbies 4 out of 6 games!

Keep defending YOUR cubs, Brandofan! You have more good things to say about them than the Sox. BTW..."MODS"...if you are reading this, please note that yesterday one of you were on me for allegedly calling someone a "dick"...however, you will notice that I was just referred to as a "f***ing idiot". Just wanted to make you aware.

If you want to read a great article on Powell, Google Search "The Company Powell Keeps" by Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. (Someone gave me a copy of the article, but not the source thereof.)

It figures that you'd say this cuz you're a cubs fan! :fthecubs

Right on!

We should not give up Chandler AND the 7th pick for Harrington. Chandler sucks...I have no problem trading his lazy ass, but keep the #7. Bird wants the #7 so he can draft Luke Jackson, you know what Larry said about "white superstars"!

And...if you want to compare the cubs and Sox...the SOx are better at Catcher, 2b, ss, lf, cf and rf. Cubs have better starters 1-5, though I'd take Buehrle over any of their guys, they have a little better bench, bullpens are pretty even.

Here's why the Cubs won't win dick! Kerry Wood may not come back, he won't be 100% even if he does. Prior is not 100%, got whacked around in 2 of his 3 starts. Zambrano = flash in the pan Hawkins will flame out once the (inferior) NL sees him more than once. Guys like Hollandsworth, Walker, Alou, Ramirez, Barrett cannot play as good as they have been playing, just look at their lifetime stats. They have a grossly overrated manager who has (will) burn out the arms of his pitchers cuz he doesn't know how to manage a pitching staff. If anyone benefits by being in a weak division (and league) its the Cubs, the Cards have NO pitching (ZERO!), Astros are overrated, and everyone else just plain sucks. There really is no excuse for the cubs not to make the playoffs, but, they'll find a way to f*** it up...they always do!

Id do this trade IF Boston would throw in their 1st round pick.

True...but, I think that in the course of World History, TOO many people have died in the name of religion. Admittedly, I don't know enough about religion to say which religion is right or which is wrong; I don't think anyone knows that answer. What I do know is that if everyone would "do unto others as you'd have them do unto you", love G-d, and mind their own business, the world would be a better, more peaceful place in which to live.

I believe that if you love G-d AND you treat others like you yourself would like to be treated, that is the best one could do for themselves. Worship anyway you want, just don't try to force your faith down other people's throats. One of my Supervisors is "born again" and he has been trying to convert me (and others) since I started working for the INS. He is very annoying and I have considered filing grievances against him on several occasions.

I want the Bulls to trade down with Atlanta, take Iguodala with #6, and Luke Jackson with #17.

Mariotti may be a "windsock", but he's 100% right about Reinsdorf being NOT committed to bringing a WS to the South Side!

I am herein offering you 2 separate bets... 1.Sox WILL finish with a better record than the Cubs, AND 2. Cubs will NOT make the playoffs. Any of you "closet Cub fans" wanna bet me??? :fthecubs

I also liked "Monkey Man" (Rolling Stones) in "Goodfellas" (when Henry is being followed by the helicopter).

What about those of us who love G-d, but do not accept Jesus as His son, or as the Messiah?

I know...but, IF the category was best use of a song in a movie....

But, if it is (was) G-d's will that I be Christian, wouldn't I have been born Christian?

All due respect BF, I think you are sadly mistaken. Not only have the cubs already "hit their stride", they have peaked! 1. Zambrano and/or Hawkins cannot continue to pitch as well as they have. 2. Alou, Ramirez and Patterson cannot continue to hit as well as they have. 3. They have been playing WAY over their heads defensively. 4. They have been getting WAY too lucky schedule-wise, i.e. they play the Angels when they are decimated with injuries, same with the A's, same with the Cards last series (no Pujols), next the Sox (without Mags!). What they do have going for them is a very weak September schedule (AGAIN!) and the fact that the National League SUCKS!

How about "Stuck in the Middle With You", from Reservoir Dogs?
