QUOTE(beck72 @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) Said Jon Adkins will get stretched out this spring, get some starts. [my opinion--Jon will be a starting pitcher at AAA, maybe to enhance his trade value] I agree 100%. I would keep Adkins, Diaz and Munoz all starting at AAA to give us more choices if someone gets hurt.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 10:18 AM) Her husband just called. They went over to her grandmothers house last night and spent most of the night talking. She admitted everything to Sue. I don't even know what to say or do for her. Trust me these things happen on their own time. Basically all you can do is make her know that when and if she is ready, then she can talk to you about things (if you want to do so) If you try to force it or push her, she will shut down. The biggest thing in molestation isn't the acts themselves, it is the loss of power. The victim becomes a virtual slave of the abuser. This makes it essential to not take away the power when it comes to dealing with this. Even if good intentioned, it can make the person feel like they are being victimized all over again. And good luck and prayers for you and all involved.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) That's just a ridiculous "we're better than you" statement. :rolly Actually on the surface that is a very true statement. If the Pope isn't legitimate, it makes it a lot easier for a schism to take place.

Does anyone think if Michigan St can somehow run the table and win the Big 10 tourney, that they could be a #1 seed along with Illinois?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 08:12 AM) Or to justify honoring your parents, not murdering, keeping the sabbath holy, remaining faithful to your spouse, etc. The Bible has been used to justify some very good things also. Those are clear cut things in a clear cut context. Those are easy reads, and it has nothing to do whether the things were "good" or not. God never said "No gays shall ever be wed." Its left up to interpretation. God DID say "honor thy mother and father", so we don't have to wonder about it and look for guidence on how to treat our parents.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 07:51 AM) Actually, for me the second verse ("whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven...") represents the Dininely bestowed authority for all of the Popes who followed to make Ex Cathedra proclamations, papal infallability and all that, which according to Church doctrine are as good as hearing the statements directly from God. See to me that still reads as a part of the privledges and duties as Heaven's gatekeeper. IE if Peter decides someone can enter the gates of Heaven, then they can pass into heaven. If he condemns them then they are stuck on Earth. Really interesting stuff though. It really tells you how someone can take a verse or two and use that to justify outlawing gay marriage or interracial marriage or just about anything the bible has been used to justify.

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) Let's hope that Politte isn't a batting practice pitcher this year. I'm sure that Ozzie had Politte pitch to him to gauge Iguchi's ability to catch up to a major league speed fastball. I'd say that is a pretty good success so far.

This is so true. I hate to see a nice guy like Joe struggle, while assclowns like Canseco can have a big career.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 07:29 AM) It's supposed to stem from Simon Peter and "You are the rock on which I shall build the church," etc. Jesus elevated him above the other desciples and the tradition of elevating one above all others in the church on Earth continues in the person of the pope. Very interesting. I just looked it up to read the context, and the King James version reads like this "That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." I wish I knew Arameic to read the original. To me those verses sound about as strong as Bush's mandate. The verses after that are the verses that make Peter Heaven's gate keeper, so it would be pretty easy to interpret that verse as saying He is depending on him to do this important job and the church depends on it, not you are to be the leader of the church, if taken in its full context.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 10:30 PM) I dont mean to be disrespectful to him, but as a Lutheran, I really dont hold him any higher than any other human being. We jokeon here about other people all the time. i see him as being no differant. As someone who is very biblical in orientation, I agree with you 100% with your statement. IMO The bible makes it very clear that no man is better than any other man. The only leader of the church is to be Christ. Every human is to play their own role in the church to the best of their abilities. I am actually curious if anyone can show me the biblical justification for the Pope, because in my self-admitted limited knowledge I can't find it.

Its all a matter of practice. Going into your first inview always sucks because you have no idea what to expect. Write down the tough questions you got asked and think of answers. Even have someone do a mock interview with you so that you can practice.

I take that back... It was Indy that had the Pan-Am games in 1987

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 03:03 PM) Chicago to my knowledge has not attempted to get an Olympics. Also there is one problem, it is all of the canoeing events. For Atlanta they had to do some major construction on rivers to get it working the right way. Also US cities should almost always be the front runners for the Olympics, they are the only ones that can afford it, and actually can sell the thing out. Look at how disturbing the attendance for the Athens olympics was, and the fact that they could not get the construction done on time. SB They would have to build lots of facilities.... Also for the Pan-Am games Michigan City actually held most of the sailing events. I know South Bend has some world class canoe facilities, so that might be possible also.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) While we are on the topic of the Olympics…. Why doesn’t Chicago try and make a run at the Summer Olympics? I really believe that we have most of the facilities to pull it off. I don’t think a whole lot would need to be built. Plus, it has been held in LA, NY State (soon NY City as well), Atlanta, and Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City got the Olympics before the 3rd largest market in the US? They did have the Pan-Am games in the 80's, and that was supposed to be a prelude to trying to get the full olympics, but they never did do it.

CNN is reporting that the Pope has had a traceotomy(sp)

I'm still trying to figure out why his hands are in that position. That doesn't make any sense.
