He kicks the ball a long way. I'll have to get out my calculator to do the math part

Hinrich got fined? For being a bowling pin? WTF????

Oh there is room for more than one ego in my doghouse. Maggs just moved in right next door to Sammy.

3 years is in the JR range. I like it. I was afraid he was going to be looking for 4-5 years. I would love to see Pedro on the southside, but when the Red Sox win this, it is all but wrapped up that Pedro will retire in beantown.

Yeah they took him for granted... how many huge contract offers did they make him? How many concessions did they make? How many negotiation points di they give up on? GMAFB :rolly Go to the Yankees :fyou

A Roman historian recorded most of the history surrounding the life of Christ and his followers. His name escapes me now...

Is that the catching prospect? Because I think Jaime is primed for a comeback.

No, no its obviously a vast rightwing conspiracy to get Bush reelected...

Indeed it was Gonzalez

There is no doubting that he was at lightest middle eastern skinned of somekind. The lily white, blonde haired, blue eyed Jesus of the Catholic church is a joke.

The tape cannot be authenticated according to MSNBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6345734/

One more factor that would be in the hitters favor... No cut fastballs. That is a pitch of the very late 90's and into today.

The fog this morning never really burned off...

Depends on what you mean exactly. I am a firm believer in the evolution of baseball players. I think the players of today are way superior to the past generations of hitters. They are bigger, stronger, faster, and smarter. They can hit more pitches and have more ability. So if you are saying to transport Barry Bonds 2001 to play in 1987, he would hit way more homers than anyone else, because no one else would have anywhere near his ability. I don't know if he would hit 80 or something like that for a couple of reasons. The baseballs are much tighter wound because they have gone from hand made to machine made. Plus today's strike zone is smaller, plus this was pre-expansion so there would be like 50 less really bad pitchers to face. Plus the wave of new ballparks that are all much smaller. (think of the new Houston vs the old etc.) BTW good topic

If you were Al Qaeda would you be dealing with the CIA or ABC? That's why ABC got the tape first. With all of the AQ that have been killed and captured, it makes total sence to me. It is self-preservation.

Soxfest could get ugly

The big difference being, ABC is the one who got this story. This didn't come from the administration. If it were Ashcroft or anyone like that making this warning it would be different, but this came from ABC.

Wow, so we can rundown people we don't agree with as a form of political expression? This is excellent!

The administration as in the President? If this is true, the government were the LAST ones to get their hands on this. It sounds to me like it went through some safe people, through contacts, into ABC's hands, and then into the governments hands. I am not sure how them ending up with a videotape through a news station is playing the terror card? It sounds to me more like an attempt to influence the elections ala Spain.

Take it FWIW http://www.drudgereport.com/abct.htm
