and you know we would

Heh, I thought you were talking about real aliens....hey, simple mistake.. We have all made the mistake 1,000 times before...no need to be hard on yourself

Burnitz is putting up strong numbers this season, I wonder if he will be selected for the all-star team tonight

It's better to have deception and movement in the strikezone. btw, I was watching office space yesterday. Everytime I see your avatar I laugh

the ex-clueless wonder, he was the only GM to pick up Loiaza, after Loiaza's agent had called every single major league team willing to spend. Williams also won out on the Colon deal (don't bring up biddle, his ERA ain't great and a good starter is worth a hell of a lot more than biddle). Williams also did a hell of a job snaring Alomar and Everett, you have to give up prospects for good players, when you are in such a close hunt as we are now, you have to say f*** the future. that is a fair point. Though I remember some hype when Parque came up, especially after he pitched a gem in his first game. I think 7 scoreless or something.

do the bartman

1. You consider that moral and worthy of what America is supposed to stand for? 2. You consider that very informed on the situation in many countries from where illegals come? You cosider that very informed on the situation of all the Cubans? You consider that not stereotyping? I suppose what it says on the base of the Statue of Liberty is now bulls***. However, as a Christian, I am compelled by all that the Scriptures say about aliens, strangers, foreigners, all that the Scritures say, to command us to welcome the alien. It is an obligation laid upon us by God, at least us who say we believe in the God witnessed to by the Scriptures. And I take the question personally too. My cousin Mickey was an LA deputy sheriff. He was killed in the line of duty, another officer was shot and critically wounded, a woman was taken hostage, and Mickey at the cost of his life rescued that woman. It all took place it front of a crowd of people in suburrban LA and as the killer atempted to make his escape, he was captured, subuded, the s*** beatne out of him, and held for the authorities by a group of very brave, unarmed Mexican illegals. Very brave in that two cops had been shot and yet they at the risk of their own lives, unarmed, captured the cop killer. Check out the link and look at Mickey's picture and tell God what you think - as for me, I say God bless the aliens, legal and illegal. And consider that many illegals hold jobs basic to our economy that no native born American will take. It is not white suburban kids who pick the crops we eat or work in the lowest paying jobs that are essential to the economy and our society. his murderer was captured my illegal aliens 1. The round up thing was a joke, don't take it personally...no harm intended. 2. My stereotype of cubans is indeed a stereotype, but I don't think anybody would be offended if I said "cubans are funny people" it is the truth, every Cuban I have ever met was very light hearted and humerous. I guess after escaping opression, they want to enjoy life to its fullest. Even my cuban spanish teacher (he came over as an illegal alien, but after being captured by the INA got to stay because cubans are considered refugees) says that americans are too serious. 3. I know most californian aliens come from Mexico, not cuba. though some people leave their countries so they can sneak through the mexican border, so not all are mexican. 4. As for Aliens \holding jobs important to our economy...that is a problem. They are not citizens, are citizens should have those jobs. Our citizens our unemployed, hurting the economy. When an alien is unemployed it does not affect the economy. 5. I understand the Aliens are trying to make a living. They would make a much better living if they went ahead and became citizens. 6. Your cousin was a very brave man, and is one of the heroes this country celebrates.

His velocity has dropped? Better make sure KW didn't hear that or Weaver will be starting for the Sox tomorrow. rotflmao...very true

This season I have noticed Neil Cotts's status has been boosted from left handed arm, nice to have in the orginization all the way up to left handed star, future hall of famer. Nobody has interest in trading him, I want to know why he is being made out to be a superstar. I would trade him for any young major league arm in a second. I understand that Cotts has put up majestic numbers, but the guy is wild. A lefthander that doesn't throw mid 90's is not going to get a way with wildness at the major league level. It will haunt him, and shorten outings, and who knows, possibly lead to arm injuries? Look at Jim Parque. I say if can grab somebody for him...do it! Unless somebody real familiar with Cotts can tell me that he is a can't miss stud pitcher. Cotts numbers 6-2 2.28 51.1 32 69

No problem giving up Cotts, but Weaver just doesn't look good this year. Even his velocity seems like it dropped a little. Because of Weavers inefficiancy I say hold on to Cotts

The debate is raging about illegal aliens being allowed to get driving liscenses. Personally, I say no. Perhaps declaring one day when Aliens can come and get there liscense...say August 1st...then rounding them all up on that day and sending them back on that day would be the proper thing to do. Except for the cubans of course. They can't be sent back because they are political refugees, but they shouldn't be sent back anyways, Cubans are always very funny people

witesoxfan, I think the playbyplay of WSC's toilet adventures is just as good as the sex playbyplay... as long as he doesn't get into the s***ty details, no pun intended.

free??

Being a follower of statistical baseball I wander over too... baseballprospectus.com (WARNING: SLANTED TOWARD THE sCrUBS) baseballprimer.com and for news I go to the basic places, espn, cbs.sportline oh yeahn and by the way Soxnet

the jury also considered the fact that he is a convicted rapist, and that he had just recieved a month in the slammer and a fine for domestic violence.

what does a cyst look like? I got a tiny white dot on my bottom eye 'lid'. very small, I have tried popping it, but it is unpoppable

I got it off of AOL news, no URL, not sure how to link it

sorry, 4 possible views

Wow...now I have heard it all. A man 35, who has a criminal history spit on a police officer. There is a law in place that says you can not hurl bodily fluids on a police officer. The prosecutioners were aiming for a 25 year sentence, the defense was aiming for a 4 year sentence. The jury chose a life sentence after only 15 mins. Damn, what hard asses.

So who is up for some humanitarian work in West Africa? There are 3 views you can take (no this was not supposed to be a poll) Side A: Sure, why not Side B: I hate violence of all kinds Side C: I hate this because bush is president Side D: don't want to fight, but we are obligated SideshowApu will probably fall in either B or C, maybe even D...afterall his socialist friends in England think we are obligated. CW I expect to choose side B. I on the other hand take Side D, as the worlds powerhouse we have to look out for the best interests of the little guy. Right now the little guy is being slaughtered in Liberia...time for the U.S. to take over. France and England aren't on our ass either because they are currently trying to stop violent factions in other African Nations. Any Opinions?

Better TV coverage, the Olympics are practically the only thing televised on NBC during Olympic season. As for Vancouver...I HATE the selection. No offense to Canada, but this totally screws New York's bid for 2012. The Olympic Committee hates looking like the West's b****, so the olympics in North America twice in a row won't happen. All that work to Get the American bid for 2012 and America Jr. had to f*** things up! j/k Mathew, Canada is not America Jr, just busting your chops

I got nothing to say but f*** YES!

sorry CW, I just realized that my post in a way mirrors yours. My bad

well, we knew everett wouldn't come free...but you have to play for now. I really liked this Webster guy too, oh well.

In my time as a Sox fan, and stories from my family's 91 years of sox loving, I have seen/heard of many events. Unfortunately one thing is that half a season is a long time. Right now it is too early to say we have everything locked. Just appreciate these wins, and keep your focus on getting to first.
