Well, this is probably one way of annoying MR. Selig. Supposedly the sign has come down after Selig complained.

Guillen pulls a Mark Buehrle, turns a multi-month injury into a fairly short rehab.

Kirk Reuter has retired.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 11:28 AM) Huh? No. I'm saying that the Knicks will have a 1st-rond pcik next year, but it will likely be tied to the Bulls, and our pick will be tied to the Knicks. Yes, but given that the Bulls are about to get the Knicks top-5 pick this year, I think the possibilities of the Bulls having a lower pick than the Knicks next year are incredibly remote, as I think the Knicks project to having their names come up in the top 5 of the draft both in 06 and 07. In other words...the Knicks are giving us 2 top 5 picks in exchange for Eddy Curry and a pick hopefully in the 20's next year. I'll take that deal.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 09:54 AM) If he doesnt make the Rangers 25 man staff, it means the White Sox will have the opportunity to purchase him back for 25k. I believe he also has to stay on the Rangers 25 man for the whole year, IIRC.

So Josh Marshall has lately been following a story which looks like the first effort in a new policy of violating military regulations by having uniformed military officers make appearances at Republican Campaign events.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Mar 5, 2006 -> 01:11 PM) ^ What's the second one? I know we got their pick this year. If it's their pick we get in 2007, you're half-right. We have the option of swapping picks with them. We won't get theirs and keep ours in 2007, like we will this year. So you're telling me that, without a first round draft pick, the Knicks are actually going to get better next year?

HOW DARE THE UAE CONTRIBUTE TO THE PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY OF A PERSON WHO'S FAMILY MEMBER MAY HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION ON THIS PORT BILL!!!!

So aside from saying "Let's make a version of this which is constitutional", did Bush give any indications as to how he'd craft one which wouldn't be overturned by the court?

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 5, 2006 -> 12:40 PM) 3 K's for Contreras. NE walks? (Even when he struggled early last year, no one was hitting him, he was just throwing too many balls)

So...if the victim's friend is telling the truth here, it's a very ugly example of the costs of all that hate directed towards homosexuals. Guy has a heart attack. Friend of guy begins CPR. Police chief tells guy to stop CPR. Says heart attack victim was HIV Positive. Victim is gay, but not HIV positive. Police Chief tells same thing to folks in ambulance. Victim winds up dying. (If you do CPR right, there's no chance of HIV transmission through it, btw, even if the guy was HIV positive, which he was not)

Score update for those of us watching basketball?

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Mar 5, 2006 -> 09:07 AM) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hopefully if Skilles realizes that we won't make the playoffs, he should lose a few to improve our pick. First of all, I don't like the idea of packing it in anyway...every win is a good thing witha young team...but since we're talking about the Knicks picks being the top ones, and the Bulls being at best around 10-15 with their pick, there's even less reason to try to do so. The difference between the 12th and 13th pick IMO just isn't that much.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Mar 5, 2006 -> 09:09 AM) ^ Plus they still own Allan Houston like 50M, and some other players no longer on the team or in the league another 50M And they're giving up 2 different draft picks over 2 years which are almost certainly going to be top 5.

The only reason it's going to meet is that a few weeks ago the LAT gave front page space to the fact that it had never even met.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) Honestly, I don't think it would be. His financial situation from what I know doesn't have him or his family in dire need of cash. Before they implemented the whole rule, Oden was talking about going to college for awhile and maybe even going until he graduated. I honestly believe he would've been going to college with or without the rule. I also heard somewhere recently, that he stated that he'll stay in college until he feels he'll be ready to make an immediate impact in the NBA his rookie year. In other words...his decision on when to turn pro will depend on who has the #1 draft pick. Happily, we have a pretty statue out front of the U.C. which serves as a pretty good marketing toy.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 02:01 PM) Baj looks good. Spoke just that much too soon.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 01:59 PM) Maybe if you looked at my thread from earlier, you would know. See what happens when you hang out in the game threads? Who's this pitching now?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Mar 4, 2006 -> 01:29 PM) That, and don't forget that, barring an unusual injury, all of our starters are 200+ inning guys. And they've said they're hoping to get BMac 100+ innings. That doesn't leave a ton left.

Hmph, interesting, Hawk just said they're now leaning towards going with 11 pitchers instead of 12. Bad news for Baj, good news for Borch/Gload.
