If I read that whole thing right it sounds like KW is trying to dump Botch. That would rock!!!!!!!!!! At least he wont be blowing anymore saves, but at the same time I'd rather see Shingo get the call. If Marte screws up then that's defenitely gonna happen.

I did that in my HS econ class. I had a blast doing it & it makes students aware about the value of investing at a young age & is also the reason I have a lot more money put away than my peers. Another cool thing I did in that class was that our teacher had us all break off into groups & start our own small business. For 3 months we spent part of our class time ( and quite a bit of our off time ) & came up with a product and marketed it to the rest of the student body & at the end we tallied up the results & shared our lessons learned. Stuff like that is of great value cause it teaches kids about practical stuff that they can use later on in life. BTW. I had a blast in drafting class myself. I never said we should cut out elective/vocational classes in order to load up on math and science but we shouldn't get too far away from the basics either.

You're right about that one. That's gonna be a really fun race to watch.

I got the perfect solution to Botch's problems. All we have to do is get our batboy to sneak up behind the opposing batter and snatch the bat out of his hands when he's getting ready to swing. That and we could then install a trap door along the 1st base line that Oz can open whenever Botch gives up a lined shot somewhere.

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse............

Botch reminds me a lot of Mitch Williams. Both were wild as hell and acted stupid when they screwed up. The only real difference is that Botch doesn't carry a toothbrush into the dugout nor does he jump over the foul line going to and from the mound.

You make it sound like I think Asians succeeding where the rest of America is failing is a bad thing. That's not the case at all. More power to them. I dont know why you had to drag the military into this but I have no idea what the curriculum is like in DOD schools because I dont have kids who go there.....I dont even have kids. I do know what I read in the news & that's where the ebonics comes in. LA county, among other places, was widely criticized for using it in the school system there. As for the other stuff you hear all the time in the news about school systems falling all over themselves to introduce multicultural & gender crap into the curriculum. It may not be as overt as setting up a seperate class for it but it certainly pervasive enough & even when I was in HS 10 years ago I dealt with it every day ( I was in the Chicago Public School system from K-12 btw. ). How does teaching math and science to HS kids "cut them off" from a career as a tradesman? Far as I know there are any number of post HS vocational schools out there who can teach the various trades to them. Getting money for post HS education is a simple matter as there are hundreds of millions of dollars out there for the taking for those who cant afford it.

You know what? The abortion debate gives me a headache. I dont want anything to do with it. I just dont care.

The next time he f***s up like that in front of the home crowd, and you know it's coming sooner or later, the whole place is going to be transformed into a mass of raving lunatics and Koch is gonna be in trouble.

What jobs are Hispanics taking? I dont see a crush of middle class white folks rushing to the fruit & cotton fields of America with a sack in their hand ready for picking time. As for other immigrants taking high paying jobs I assume you're talking about the Tech field and we can lay the blame squarely at our own feet for that one. When the Dot Com economy was in high gear a few years ago there was a crushing shortage of high tech workers. Why? Because American schools are so worried about teaching ebonics & foisting multicultural & gender sensitivity garbage on the kids that nobody can do complicated math and science anymore. As a result, we have asians, who dont give 2 s***s about such nonsense holding a majority of slots in university science and engineering majors despite being a tiny minority of the population. Good for them.......bad for the rest of us. Like I always say.......It pays to be a winner.

I wanted to see Philly win it cause of Amonte & JR being on their team but they lost to a better team, so did Calgary. Tampa

That's the only time he's been even remotely successful is when the game is out of hand one way or another. He's a headcase who has no business doing anything other than washing jock straps.

I think stem cells should be allowed for research. It's not like we're killing newborns ya know. How many people have to die of potentially curable diseases?

Intimidation?!?! HOLY s***!!! Now thats some funny s***!!! Billy Botch would have trouble intimidating a pee wee leauge let alone MLB batters.

You know what the Chinese and Irish were doing a lot of in the last century? They were laying railroad track across the entire country for peanuts & subjected to absolutely despicable racial and ethnic hatreds & they turned out fine. I fail to see the difference.

I dont care how much money he's making. If he's hurting the team he needs to sit & thats the end of it.

Keenan was the last coach/GM in the Hawks organ-i-zation who was anything more than a boot licking yes-man for Dollar Bill and he lost his job because of it.

Botch better not even leave the laundry room in the basement this time.

Jock strap washer. Instead of handing him the ball, Oz will hand Botch a brush & a bucket of soapy water & tell him "her jew go billy, we got sum smelly ones down dere".

Yeah, well maybe he doesn't get paid 6.5 million dollars a year to throw BP fastballs with no movement.

Oh wow, look who showed up. Ok Mr. Anthony, enlighten us about how Botch is a good pitcher and how he should stay in the closer slot. I need a good laugh.

On your 1st point..... On your second point..... Asians are hard-working, independent people. You never hear about them in poverty, you never hear them whining about this or that injustice. They go out there and make s*** happen day in and day out & that's why they are far and away the most prosperous minority group. Maybe Blacks and Hispanics can take a lesson from them.

You DO mean the GoodFellas Ray Liotta right?

If the Sox are losing money then I'm Bill Clinton. They whine on and on about money but conviently leave out parking, concessions and merchandise when figuring out their money intake for the year. If the Sox were hemmoraging money the way Reinsy claims he is then he'd have sold long ago.

I think I explained why the Military lost morale in the 90's pretty well. Talk to some experienced NCO's and Officers who served during the Clinton years and you will understand what I'm talking about.
