By 9:30 it was a monsoon there. They never would have made it to the 5th with an 8:30 start

Jim I talked to my neighbor (who is a ER Nurse) about this exact thing and she said the same thing. Honestly.. the guy appears to be "alive" for about 5 seconds into the attack. IMO.. his heart stopped from sheer shock.

I watched it. Plenty of blood, IMO. His hands and feet were tied so I don't know how much squirming he would have been able to do. As for the standing... they stood like... they were standing.. The only thing I thought was weird was a guy on the end who kept fidigiting (sp??). Clearly nervous, IMO.. like he totally did not want to be there. As for their skin color... that is hysterical. And the page turning.. the the guy appeared to have 2 sheets written on back and front. He turned them 4 times. To anyone who wants to check out the supposed inconsistancies in the speech part.. the actual act is about the last 45 seconds and you would have time to turn away if you didn't want to see it.

Since when is section 159 in the upper deck?

No, it shouldn't be "let go". But your comment that it is fights that are keeping fans away is crazy when it happens (sometimes more often) everywhere.

What happened is sick.. but come on Aboz.. that stuff happens EVERYWHERE at EVERY stadium. We were behind the plate and saw the first couple fights.. I actually think I was sitting with JD in his seats when this happened Cheat.. Not making light, but I hope you got in a few good shots.

Lance, Lyle, Paco, Albert... who will the Sox bring back next...?

Hardly. He pitched well... the Sox just hit everything they swung at.

I think they just proved that...

Oh.. you're bad!

"My name is Nick Berg, my father's name is Michael, my mother's name is Suzanne," the man said on the video. "I have a brother and sister, David and Sarah. I live in ... Philadelphia." There was no way to be certain the tape was authentic. After reading a statement, the men were seen pulling the man to his side and putting a large knife to his neck. A scream sounded as the men cut his head off, shouting "Allahu Akbar!" — "God is great." They then held the head out before the camera. Berg's family said Tuesday they knew their son had been decapitated, but didn't know the details of the killing. When told of the video by an Associated Press reporter, Berg's father, Michael, and his two siblings hugged and cried. "I knew he was decapitated before. That manner is preferable to a long and torturous death. But I didn't want it to become public," Michael Berg said. On the Web site, one of the executioners read a statement: "For the mothers and wives of American soldiers, we tell you that we offered the U.S. administration to exchange this hostage with some of the detainees in Abu Ghraib and they refused." "So we tell you that the dignity of the Muslim men and women in Abu Ghraib and others is not redeemed except by blood and souls. You will not receive anything from us but coffins after coffins ... slaughtered in this way." The Web site on which the video was posted is known as a clearing house for al-Qaida and Islamic extremist groups' statements and tapes. An audiotape purportedly from bin Laden — which the CIA (news - web sites) said was probably authentic — appeared on the same Web site last week. Western officials say al-Zarqawi, whose real name is Ahmad Fadhil al-Khalayleh, is a lieutenant of bin Laden. The United States has offered $10 million for information leading to the capture or killing of al-Zarqawi, saying he is trying to build a network of foreign militants in Iraq to work for al-Qaida. In the video, the speaker threatened both President Bush and Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf. "As for you Bush ... expect severe days. You and your soldiers will regret the day you stepped into the land of Iraq," he said. He described Musharraf as "a traitor agent." Nice.. :headshake

It's a shame.. you should mend your fences.

I'll pass on the look-a-like.. I'm seeing the real thing later.

Actually.. I think they are doing re-shoots right now. I think there was a weather issue (rain?) a few days and they had to delay some work.

If they left, they came back. Dinner at Gibson's last night.

I was also told a few of the cast members of Ocean's 12 will be there tonight.

Jim.. aren't you and T going tonight??

Oh please... Do you need to be reminded of the "Hot Chicks Thread"..?

It's moot.. but we did make him an offer. And it wasn't much less than what he got. It was mostly deferred which is why the offer never materialized.

Oye ve.. I was all prepared for a 200 post thread about picking out your wedding bands...

I'm estatic he's not with the Sox.

That time of the day for you...

What's the "word"?

What's everyone PM'ing about...

Might not want to stand under a tree in the rain today
