The Cardinals just picked up Womack from Boston for what I was led to believe was a mid-level prospect.

I stand corrected.

Whoa here a minute, cwsox. You are reading WAY too much into what I am saying. First of all, I am the source of that "dancing in the streets" statement. I based that on the undeniable fact that there was "dancing in the streets" across the middle east on September 11, 2001. A defeat for George W. Bush would be considered a victory by Bin Ladin and the rest of the radical Islamics over there. I was not making an anti-Kerry statement in any way, shape or form. I was just stating what I believe to be a common sense conclusion. This was in no way meant as an insult to you nor any other American, regardless of party affiliation. Edit: I feel I need to further clarify a statement. A defeat for Bush..... etc. Bush is the leader of the campaign against Bin Laden and his terrorist network. For that reason alone, I say that they will consider his defeat a victory for them. Look at Saddam, for example. After Gulf War I, he took every opportunity to walk across the likeness of the first President Bush in the hotel lobby floor. I'm sure he considered Clinton's election over Bush a personal victory.

Very good, Texsox! That's the way it's done in this country. It may not be a perfect system, but it's the best one known to man. The funny thing is, if Gore could have even carried his own home state, this discussion wouldn't be taking place. But then, the people of Tennessee apparently were familiar enough with their esteemed senator that they felt it was in their best interests not to have him be their president.

If the Clinton administration made the battle against terrotism the "highest" priority, why did he fail to act when he had two chances to put Bin Laden out of commission?

With all due respect, it's, like, so out there to have to touch base with someone by using these gnarly cliche's. I mean, like, you hear them 24/7. So stick a fork in it people! At the end of the day, I'm sick and tired of being between a rock and a hard place. Can I be Honest with you? I'd be tickled pink if you just don't go there. Totally!

Sad, but true.

TexSox, there are times when civilian casualties are unavoidable. For example, in WWII we bombed many German factories. That was to take out the German's ability to manufacture weapons of war used to kill Americans. Did we know that there would be civilians killed? Damn right we did. Did a sizable protion of the citizenry of the United States have a problem with it. Hell no. Yet we knowingly killed innocent civilians. So here you have a Hamas leader, who Isreal knows has been responsible for the organization and implementation of attacks used to kill over 200 Isreali citizens. He has 25 innocent Palistinian cilivians with him when you locate him. Do you pass on the chance to take him out because of the civilians? Well you might, but I wouldn't. I'd take him out by whatever means necessary and if any civilians are killed, well, so be it. You see, if I don't kill this son of a b**** while I have the chance, then there is a good probability he will continue to implement operations that TARGET Isreali citizens. Yes, I'd take out 25 innocent Palistinian citizens to keep this guy from taking out another 200 Isreali's. Just like the US took out German citizens to keep Americans from getting killed down the road. War sucks. War is hell. But when you are talking about your own survival as a nation and/or a race, then yes, self defense by any means necessary is justifiable.

That's like the old Diet Coke and and a candy bar diet. If you drink a Diet Coke, it negates the effect of the candy bar.

This was reruns of NYPD Blue, which first appeared on ABC, I believe.

The last two days on NYPD Blue reruns on TNT, I've seen the finger prominently displayed each day. Why is it now such a big deal?

Good to see you PA. I'm sure it was "a long and winding road" back to Soxtalk.

I received something similar via snail mail today. I used it to supplement my trash can liner.

Willie Gault never saw a tackle he wouldn't fall down to avoid.

Watch for them to put Warner on the block.

I'll agree with you on this one.

Wishful thinking on my part.

Awesome. :fthecubs

If things go right, Frank is very capable of putting up those kinds of numbers. Here's hoping you're right!

Does anyone know how Konerko's number have been this spring? I noticed he went 2 for 4 today. A rebound by PK is big for this team. If he hits like we all know that he can, that will go a long way toward winning the division.

I cannot foresee then keeping Cotts with the big club unless he's in the rotation. I guess it could happen, but that dude needs to keep starting. Somewhere.

Let's hope this is the beginning of the end of the "Judy" monicker.

We've been pounding this payroll subject all winter. Let it rest. It's time to start enjoying baseball again.

As I said, there is no easy answer here. That is why I tried to express as much of the problems a woman faces as I did the male perspective in my earlier post. Time to get out of here. Catch ya later.

They do. The number one pick in the 2005 entry draft.
