You gotta love pork barrel spending :rolly

Excellent. They have always negotiated Frank's contracts directly, cutting out everyone else. Even after KW exercized the diminished skills clause, JR and Tellum are the ones who supposedly came up with the current contract Frank has been working with.

Everything I have read has indicated that the current account deficits are the biggest thing to blame. I have a hard time believing that seeing as, as a percentage of GDP they CADs really aren't different than they have been historically. My theory has always held that the Bush admin is trying to lower the cost of our exports to try to give artificial price raises to companies that do business overseas, and simultaniously make imports that much more expensive for people who want to do business here. For example, with the Euro moving from about 1-1 against the dollar to a Euro buying 1.3 dollars that means US companies doing business in Europe just got a 30% price raise without the usage of tariffs, or price increases. It also means that European companies doing business in the US are recieving essentially 30% less money, unless they raise their prices. It gives an form of protection to the American companies, without having to fight with the WTO and without cutting costs, or raising prices in order to do it.

After KW turns over the table and yells "b****es" first though...

My dream scenario involves a Pistons/Pacers like brawl at the Q&A of Soxfest.

Kevin Walker career stats...

Glad to hear you guys are safe Cerb.

Southsider is just my alias... my real name is Phil Rogers

Given the choice between Pittsburgh and Chicago's southside, I can't imagine him wanting to stay in the Steel City.

This is from the Trib

Out of curiousity, are they running a lot more planes out over the midwest? I don't know if I am just noticing it more, but it seems like there are a ton more contrails than I am used to seeing. I lived close to Ellington AFB growing up, and starting watching stuff like that then, and I don't remember it ever being quite so busy.

for Will and Cerb. That is a scary story.

Yeah, I have always read that he was solid, but nothing special. But his numbers are always good. It will be interesting to see what happens next year with him adding the cutter.

Serious question here. When does Jim Bullard get some props. I never realized it until I researched him for the AAP, but he has put up good numbers everywhere that he has been in the minors. He has never had a season era over 4.00 since the Sox drafted him, even with being forced to do everything from closing to starting, and everything in between. Is he just flying under the radar now, or what is his story?

Even if it is about Willie Harris

Personally I would prefer summer all year long, but that's just me B)

That wind this morning was Nast-EE.

I get to work all day today, and half a day Friday... What is everyone else doing?

If we could get him cheap, he is worth a shot. Otherwise, no thanks.

This was my all time SuperSteve favorite, especially with the commentary that went after it... "What language was Shingo speaking, Klingon?" "OK, that was clearly Japanese" LMFAO, Classic.
