No love for the 4th episode? Damned good stuff, my favorite part was when Pauly's aunt/mom dropped the bomb on him, and then at the end he kicks the kids ass and tells him he is paying the 4K a month, which just happens to cover his "moms" nursing home.

The thing with the watches is ultracool. Really classy move by JR.

Happy Birthday Alex

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 10:43 AM) I saw this article and I think there was a misprint ... instead of Garcia I think the writer meant Contreras because he (KW) was talking about moving guys with only one yr. remaining on their contract. I think you are dead on right... They had to be talking about Contreras over Garcia. Someone screwed up.

Stop it.

The coverage was terrible. They said they were going to show the montages and blew it. It looked like they had one guy on his camcorder trying to bootleg the event. Incredibly disappointing.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 10:45 AM) Well, well, well, look at everyone on Thome's jock suddenly. :finger I seem to remember the reception was kinda skeptical when we first got him. Don't look at me... I believe I said something to the effect of, I love Aaron Rowand as much as anyone, but when you have a chance to get Jim THome, you do it. Especially when you add in that his aquistion was Paul Konerkos deciding factor towards coming back to Chicago...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

WWF about 20 years ago... Lost or Sopranos?

Good luck, roadracing was about 40 pounds and 10 years ago for me

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 12:44 PM) Hmm... this seems odd: I assume the 'will make $8 million in 2005' is just a typo, but I'm still skeptical. Then again, I think -- they wouldn't f*** around with something like a contract extension, would they? NO that is right. His original deal which runs out after this year was 4 years at $8 mil per. that is just the end of his old contract. 2007-2009 is the new deal. EDIT NEVERMIND, I just caught the typo.

WOW. That's all I can say. WOW. Contreras at less than $10 mil a year is a HUGE steal. stupid bandwagon fans filling up the ballpark and letting us extend our pitchers

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 1, 2006 -> 02:53 AM) That could prove to be a costly decision if they choose to stop funding locales that don't enforce the federal laws. Or start charging people with federal crimes...

Ha, ha, waste of bandwidth. You all are always welcome here, even if it is just when WC is down.

Empire Strikes Back Winning a world series after 88 years, or winning the second world series?

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) Can I jump in? LA Manchester or Liverpool. North Manchester, Indiana Pods or Rudy Law?

Hey jas, speaking of Anaheim, is Chris Bootcheck going to make that team? He's from a town over from me, and I remember his HS days well.

The mom needs to be charged with the same crimes as the abuser and then some. She also needs to be a registered sex offender, because that is exactly what she is.

It will be interesting to see how Kellie and Bucky do respond because while it is their genre, it also puts the pressure on them to be that much better than everyone else. Hopefully they do something completely opposite the following week like Disco/Showtunes/Soul just throw some other people off.

Picard in a landslide. Rubber Soul or Revolver?

Poison Paul or John?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 06:02 PM) Decent Verducci interview @ SI...he seems to think the investigation has more teeth than what he expected from MLB a few days ago. You mean an investigation that has no power to compell anyone to testify, or any supena power? This is the Salem witchhunt all over again. Baseball is looking for a solid PR way out of this mess, and so they tried to find a Judge Landis to make it look like baseball was really interested in the integrity of the game all along. If they really gave a crap all along, how come Bud Selig didn't use his powers as commisioner to compel drug testing, as he has had that ability all along. He also had the ability to leak this stuff to the press 10, 20 years ago, and turn this into a PR nightmare for the players to make them talk about this then. There are multiple antedotes of ownership being complicit in these things, are they going to go after the "don't ask don't tell" owners as well? Or maybe the owners who actually knew more? How about agents/coaches/managers who were probably at least knowledgible if not an aid in getting or using illegal drugs? And what are they actually going to do to players that they might find evidence of usage for? And its bulls*** to think this was just players, and all I have heard so far is the focus on players. How about local writers who might be buddies with guys and have known this stuff was going on, but kept quiet to keep their own stories coming? Unless baseball is serious about being willing to go after everyone retroactively, this is a complete joke of an investigation. MLB screwed up by being completely selfcentered wimps and acting like the problem didn't exsist, and you can't go back and fix that by continuing your stupid mistakes and highering an insider to act like they are going to be objective and do what is best for the game. Are you seriously trying to tell me that if Mitchell found a drug ring in Boston ran by Manny, Ortiz, and Curt Schilling that he would do something to all 3 of them? Give me a break.
