Somewhat off topic, but interesting. Could this be the start of a new dialogue between post Castro Cuba and the U.S. ? On Saturday, Cuban officials asked the U.S. to loosen the "ruthless and cruel" decades-old trade embargo on the Communist-ruled island in the wake of deadly flooding caused by powerful storms. Cuba was also hit hard by Hurricane Gustav. "If the government of the United States is really willing to cooperate with the Cuban people in face of the tragedy of the hurricane, it is requested to allow the sale to Cuba of those materials considered indispensable and to suspend the restrictions that prevent U.S. companies from offering private commercial credits to our country for the purchase of food in the United States," said the statement from the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "In all truth, the only correct and ethical action ... would be to eliminate totally and permanently the ruthless and cruel economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed against our Motherland for almost half a century," the statement said. The U.S. State Department issued a statement Friday, after government officials had offered to help Cuban flood victims. "We do not believe that at this time it is necessary to loosen the restrictions on remittances and travel to Cuba to accomplish the objective of aiding the hurricane victims," the statement said.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 08:56 PM) So for everyone saying the Sox just aren't a playoff team, and don't deserve it, do the Twins???? No and that's what proves the Sox aren't either. We'll see what happens.

The name and the logo are the wackness.

Saw this about fat f***, but nothing about Hard-On. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb

Sorry, but this is just golden: http://music.ndtv.com/story.asp?id=ENTEN20080063912

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 03:09 PM) If Z is really hurt, and Harden gets his monthly DL trip, the cubs playoff rotation all of a sudden becomes terrible. 1. Dempster 2. Lilly 3. Marquis 4. Marshall Big IFs, not likely. Milwaukee had a chance to make it interesting yesterday, but as usual they played like they're afraid of the post season.

I want to see pictures of her from 20 years ago. Um, that's it, that's all I got.

uh oh

whoa, what a nice surprise, just clicked the TV on which happened to be on WGN and poof a Sox game. What time was 1st pitch?

Watched this tonight. Overall so-so, but if you're a fan of P. Cruz, it's worth the rental. Serious topless situations.... and I don't mean one brief shot in a dark room. There are several, minute long shots of clear, full boobage. http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809860441/trailer

OK, I'll say it. Sinks can be tricky depending on the height.

NO WAY!! Does anyone remember the 'all steroid olympics' SNL skit? I have a morbid curiosity about the kind of s*** athletes could accomplish if we'd just let em openly juice up. Think we'd see 100 HRs in a season? Or a 9.00 100M dash?

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 05:09 PM) 9-6 in the last 15 games...not counting the suspended game. Will they win the division? If so, how will they do in the playoffs?

Whats this AJ and Lee feud all about?

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 04:56 PM) Im confused wouldnt an optimist believe we can win the world series? Because im an optimist, and dont think its out of the question. You only need 11 wins to win it all in October. We have the hitting, and our pitchers can get hot (as shown in the past). I will not give up hope because as a sports fan hoping to just "make" the postseason is not fun. All 8 teams have a chance to dance all the way home. "Drops Mic" Based on how the team has been playing, thinking they might make the post season IS being optimistic.

Funny, some of these reporters sound almost disappointed that the storm didn't wipe out N.O. again. Sorry Geraldo, guess you don't get to try to play the people's hero this time.

Might win the division. No chance in the post season....and I'm one of the optimistic ones. I'm gonna take it one game at a time. A lot can happen.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 07:59 PM) Don LaFontaine, the man who does all of the movie trailer voice overs, passed away today at the age of 68. It's going to be weird watching trailers without his voice anymore. RIP. Strangely, I found this out by looking up the Family Guy episode that was just on. I clicked on his name, as he was one of the guest stars, and I see his date of death listed as today. You mean the "In a wooorrld..." guy? The same guy must write all the trailers too, cuz they all start with: "In a world..", or "In a town..."

So they evacuated N.O. and no major damage or flooding ocurred. How difficult do you think it will be to get people to leave next time there is a Hurr threat in that area?

Rolled otta bed at 10, got a Gustav update, ate breakfast, had a GREAT workout, just ate a huge lunch, heading to the pool in a while.

100,000 still have not evacuated. Have these people seen what Gustav just did to Cuba? wow.
