Wong & Owens

DBAHO-- Do you know the name of the U.S. player that missed the conversion? I haven't heard from my brother yet--it might have been him....

It's step one in the musicians manual under "What to do when nobody bought your last album."

My guess is that he probably will get a look in the spring. I don't think we will resign Carl Everett, as much as I would like to see Carl back, and that means Rowand and Reed in CF. I question whether we will bring back Roberto either and that means Miles and Harris trying out for 2B. I think the best of things would be having Everett and R Almoar back, but I am not certain we have the money to spend especially for Carl. As far as Cabrera being the best hitter in the Southern League well he is good, but what do you expect to hear from the Fox people? Cabrera and the Fish are in the WS now and Reed and the Sox are waiting till next year. I don't think much of the announcers anyway. I don't get the feeling they know all that much about what's happening with other teams, the minors, etc. They are there for entertainment only. Sign Everett, dump Thomas

The season was over the day they released their 2003-04 schedule.

Chicago Blackhawks = The Worst Run Organization in the History of Professional Sports. 1-81, hopefully. I was at that Kings game(free tix), there were about 200 people there. Pathetic, and it's only going to get worse.

Thing is his kids are taking over the Hawks when he dies. Nothing is going to change. From what I've heard/read(and I am by no means 100% confident in this info), Wirtz's sons are supposedly nothing like dollar bill, and are almost embarrassed by the way their dad runs the show.

It kills a wide variety of bacteria. It can be used to fight infections in almost any part of the body, hence it's many uses and overall "wonderdrug" image.

I figured that one was obvious. I probably shouldn't have.....

As much as I can't take his stance on homosexuality, I am completely in agreement with BMR on this. The Central is so ripe for the taking, Sox management is absolutely dropping the ball if they don't nake a push to win next year.

Yes. I am a frustrated child because I do not think its natural for a man to f*** a man, YEAH thats it LMFAO!!!!!!! Your post is borderline psychotic, bro. Psychotic? No, I have a firm grasp on reality. And, the reality is, you don't have any more insight as to what is true human nature as does a rock. Nobody does, but it is your attempt to argue otherwise that makes you an ignorant, arrogant blowhard. Claim procreation(therefore, heterosexual activity) is natural and homosexuality isn't? What's your source? How about wearing clothes? Do you bathe daily? Shave? Drive a f***ing car? Eat with utensils? Are any of these "natural?" Do you deem all these activities "wrong?" Your logic is flawed, your opinion obsolete, and your statements, inhumane. Hmmm lets seee ummmmmmmmmm my source is ummmmmm NATURE? This last post of yours only proves you need serious help. Get it bro. Please. Thank you, you just proved my point. And you don't even see it. That's the best part.

I believe herpes is the only std that is NOT curable. Gonorreha, Syphilis, Chlamydia, et al are all curable. A simple antibiotic like doxycycline or cipro would kill Gonorreha or Chlamydia, more intensive treatment is needed to cure syphilis. Crabs are also curable, a simple variant on head lice. What std's am I missing?

I hate alot of so-called Cubs "fans," and I don't like the way the Tribune Corp. runs them, but I gotta be honest, I like the Cubs team--minus Sammy, of course. Moises, Grudz, Wood, Prior, Clement, Zambrano, Remlinger, Karros, Borowski--these guys are gamers, and I'd take any of them on the Sox any day. Go Cubs.

I'll get excited about the Craphawks when I read this headline in the paper: "Wirtz Sells Blackhawks, Catches Bad Case of Dysentery."

My cousin is a friend of Heather Locklear's brother. I hit Gene Siskel with a Christmas tree once. That's all I got.

Sorry dude, you've bashed gays a lot. Equating being gay with killing people seems to me like you got a problem... but don't take my word for it. here's the proof. Bmr's comments on April 30: a gay guy can have a date as long as the rest of society doesnt have to see it or hear about it. More on April 30 It is NOT okay to be gay. It sets horrible example for children and it disrupts the main reason you are on earth, which is to create. With your outlook on things, in a few short years, its going to be okay to kill. Bmr: May 1 Change is good unless it destroys lives, society, and the way of life. Being gay does all 3, no matter how much you or anyone else wants to deny it. I dont have a problem with one individual person being gay, but youre never going to get me to think or say its ok to be gay, because it is not. Uh ok lol. If Society as a whole just agrees that its okay to be gay, eventually, we will be a totally f***ed up society, and eventually cease to exist. Again, I dont have a problem with one individual being gay, but saying it is okay is destructive. Okay i guess i have to spell it out. The more gay people, the more death. The more gay people, the less birth. Is that so hard to understand? I dont hate or even dislike gay people. I simply realize that promoting that it is okay will eventually destroy society. Its not NATURAL to f*** a monkey or stick your DICK in another guys ass. If people would stop doing things that are unnatural, like f***ing a monkey, pounding some guys ass, and sticking needles in their arms, Aids would not spread as it has. Wow, he said all of these things? What an arrogant, ignorant douchebag.

Almost as bad--Did anyone read the story in the Trib today and yesterday about the couple in Gary, IN that were keeping an 18 year old girl caged in their house? They shocked her with electrical cords, burned her with cigarettes, made her eat cigs until she puked, then made her eat the puke. She was also allegedly raped by the father, and by the mother with a fireplace poker! This girl is also supposedly mildly retarded or something. If I ran into this couple, I think I would kill them both. I don't even think I'm exaggerating.

My brother plays for the U.S. team. He's a wing. I'm rooting for the home team, but that's kind of like hoping the Tigers win the World Series.

AIDS, other STD's and pregnancy can all be avoided for the most part by using some common sense and some discretion. Yes, using all forms of contraception/protection still carries a small level of risk, but so does driving a car. Anyways, the reason most people do not cheat has little to do with the risk of STD's or pregnancy.

I am honest though. How many people on her probably said 'oh no I'd never cheat,' even though they have done it. Being single and 18 is an ENTIRELY different situation, and not one I really was addressing. In my opinion, NO 18-year-old should be in an exclusive relationship. I don't think you've experienced enough in life to limit your possibilities. But once you're committed ( even if the other person is committed and BELIEVES that you are ), then you have to think before you act. If you don't, then you are a selfish pig. I hate to sound holier-than-thou, but I really feel strongly about that. I was cheated on once, and I remember that feeling too well. I agree 100%. If I had an 18-yr old kid, I would STRONGLY advise him/her to not get tied to one person that young. I also agree that you make a choice to cheat, and that is a selfish thing to do, but this isn't like a choice to not steal or not kill. An animal's innate compulsions are eating, self-defense, and procreation. You can force yourself to not eat, or to just sit there and do nothing if someone attacks you, but both are very difficult to do for any long period of time. If you take, say, a pro athlete, and put him in a situation where he is constantly bombarded by feasible procreation partners, fighting that urge is almost as hard. Especially when society still somewhat expects you to fight that urge for your entire life, which is now 76 years or so, as opposed to when it was 35 years. I am in an exclusive relationship, and I do not cheat. I do this out of love and respect for my girlfriend, but if she ever said to me, "Honey, I no longer need to be sexually exclusive, go out and screw whomever you want," would I take it? Absolutely. And so would every male not beholden to some religious code of ethics. Why is sexual exclusivity so important? Wasn't the concept drawn up years ago by religious leaders, most of whom didn't adhere to it anyways? Is there some reason, other than the shame and discomfort doled out by brow-beating religious folk, that this arrangement even exists? Does it hold any advantegs for humanity as a whole? Just more topics up for debate. This is one of my favorite subjects to argue/discuss.

Males are not biologically "wired" for monogamy. Every guy who's married, in a relationship, dating whatever has fantasized about f***ing other women, and if they say they haven't they're lying(kind of like the masturbation question). However, thinking/fantasizing about doing it is one thing, acting on it is another. Some people are better than others at controlling their natural urges, otherwise the divorce rate would be even higher than it already is.

Why was Robert Palmer famous? Seriously, I don't get it. Not a good songwriter, not a good singing voice, not very good-looking, not part of any hip trend. This is almost as a big a mystery as the reasons why anyone thinks Penelope Cruz is hot. I just don't see it.

I can't believe "God's Grace" by Bernard Malamud wasn't on the list. The man who gave us The Natural also penned this odd novel that contains a description of a guy f***ing an ape. They don't differentiate what types of schools are doing the banning. I am completely un-censorship, but could understand why someone would have a problem with a grammar school library containing Madonna's "Sex," or why a catholic school wouldn't want "The Joy of Fisting with Rod and Todd" on their shelves.
