Happy Birthday Steff, congratulations on hitting the halfway to 60 mark!

We remove a tyrant that A)killed hundreds of thousands of people simply for having a different opinion than him, B)used monies that were to be spent on Iraq's people to build palaces and develop weapons, C)tortured his own Olympic athletes for losing, D)aided and abetted terrorists of many organizations, E)would have invaded nearly every surrounding country 10 years ago if he didn't have to worry about the U.S. stepping in, and all these Liberals can do is b**** about the lack of hard WMD evidence. I wish Bush didn't say anything about WMD in the first place, I wish he would have said we're going to take out Saddam simply because he was a threat to the world as a whole, a dictator whose methods and practices are on a par with those of Hitler, Mussolinin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, et al. Like those mentioned, Hussein has been allowed to continue his reign of brutalization far too long, and should have been removed much earlier. Not any of our business? f*** you, it's EVERYBODY'S business worldwide when there's someone operating the way he has. If you can't see that, then you need to get a clue. We knew we should have gotten involved in WWII earlier, but waited until we got Pearl Harbor. We knew we should have gone after Saddam earlier, we waited until Kuwait was invaded. We could have spent more time and energy on Osama and the Taliban, instead we waited until 9/11 to do something. I don't care if the only "evidence of WMD" the U.S. ever finds is a f***ing smokebomb, I don't believe for a second that some major tragedy involving Saddam wasn't inevitable, regardless of the method of delivery. He was gonna hurt a lot of people (again) eventually, and now he can't. Thank you, end of rant.

I'm not a huge basketball fan, but I'll watch Bulls games, and like the direction they're headed(finally). Chicago doesn't have an NHL team. They used to, but it was destroyed by individual greed and gross mismanagement. I'll chew barbed wire before I'll pay any attention to the organ-I-zation.

I guarantee he's starting Sunday. By all means, play him.

HSC, do you have access to Photoshop? If you do, I can walk you through the editing--it's really easy. If not, you could email it to me and I could edit it on my end and send it back.

And sorry, no there hasnt been greater upsets. iF the twins dont win the central it will go down as the biggest choke job in sports history. No? Are you nuts? How about last year's N.O. Saints? Needed to win 1 of 3 games against Carolina, Cincy or Minny, and couldn't do it. Baseball? How about the Angels in 1995? or 97? They had a 9-10 game lead on Aug. 20th, and blew it.

I am getting the sinking feeling that there's a torpedo headed towards our little boat, and there's a hefty bag covering our little tank....

Exactly, and that's my point. Flip-flop Manuel and Torre this year, and the teams probably have the same records. No manager was going to motivate Paul Konerko out of hitting .098, or motivate Billy Koch to throw 100 mph.

A motivator like, say, Joe Torre?

You can see everything fine, you're just a good distance away from everything, especially in the upper rows. There's nothing wrong with the UD if you're in the first 7-8 rows, imo. Higher up than that, and you might need a sherpa and a telescope.

I got 4 for the second game. Thank god for t3 lines.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD START FRANKIE

WHITE SOX: This is the hottest team going right now. Best record in baseball since the All-Star break (33-17). Averaging six runs a game and two homers a game since the break. Third in the league in starters' ERA (4.09), even though their fifth starters have exactly three wins in 24 starts. Third in the league in overall ERA. But five games under .500 against contenders outside their division. And the worst road record of any contender (11 games under .500 on the road, vs. 23 over at home). "Dangerous team," says one GM. "They've got three real good starters and a good back end of the bullpen, even though they have no true closer. And they've got a dangerous lineup. My concerns would be bullpen depth, major questions on defense, and a lack of true cohesiveness and makeup." Another GM seconds that sentiment, saying: "The only thing I don't like is, I just don't trust that cast of characters." Of course, the knobs at ESPN predicted a Cubs-Red Sox World Series.

Actually, I thought his response was fair, and he answered all your points. Numbers can be twisted to say whatever you want them to say, and I don't blame the guy for being a homer to a degree. He's writing for a KC paper, not USA Today. Seems like an OK dude, based on his email, no?

I think the Sox have enough hitting to allow the platoon of Jose/Graffy to continue. I'd rather spend the money on pitching and/or a real CF next year.

No, far from it, but find any post in which I called anybody a name or personally insulted someone on the boards, and I'll eat some of Corg's crow wing(if he'll share.) This does not include general, non-personal remarks such as, "those idiots in Sox Marketing," or, "that annoying moron that used to dance on the dugout." And those weren't my sentiments necessarily, I was just speculating on what a psychologist/psychiatrist would say, based on years of watching Growing Pains and Law & Order.

Sorry, Steff. Steff's new name: Board Mom. Ugh... must be the "Hag" in me coming out.. I understand the argument. It's valid on both sides. But for the love of God.. make your point and move on. Please... ? What does the name calling and insults accomplish? I'm pretty sure any dime-store psychologist will tell you that anyone that needs to resort to insults, name calling, etc has issues with maturity and self-confidence, feelings of inferiority, and an overall sense of insecurity. Or, their penises are too narrow.

Sorry, Steff. Steff's new name: Board Mom.

Ugh.. don't ruin it. Oh c'mon Steffikins, like you arent getting a world of ideas from that Britney Spears/Madonna pic from the MTV Awards. Ugh. Puke! All the people those two have swaped spit with makes me sick actually... So I guess then any hope of seeing you in a future Vivid Video production is out of the question? Steff, art thou a prude? This is going to wind up being moved to the Off Topic Board, unless anyone wants to continue debating the merits of one zaftig hispanic hurler. Prude...? Naaa. But no, you will not see me in anything produced by VV. BTW, Is that Jenna Jamison's (sp?) company? I don't think so, she has her own company, the name of which escapes me. I guess if I'm watching anything pornographic, the last thing I'm worried about is who actually produced the damn thing.

Tampa played what, 3 games here? I'm pretty sure I was out of town for work that week. I'm out of town quite a bit, and I don't get to attend nearly as many games as I'd like to. But I will be camped out in front of USCF the night before playoff tickets go on sale, as I was in 2000, and I don't think you have any right to tell me I shouldn't be able to buy them. Ahh.. don't sweat it Wayne... I got an extra stub for ya Awwww, aren't you just made of pure sugar
