Maybe Kevin Weekes could save the Miami Canes, since it doesn't look like he will be playing next year anyway?

Texas looked real good beating up Vandy, but I am a Miami fan GO CANES!

My runner up favorite teams are Houston and Texas and both are from living down there. It is nothing close to what I like for the Sox though.

My vote for Bush is reluctant at best. I have said on many occasions that if there were a sane middle ground canditate I would vote for him in a heartbeat. There are 3 big strikes against Kerry IMO. #1 His admissions of being a war criminal in Vietnam, and then running off of that same war record. #2 He took funds from Chinese nationals during one of his senate campaigns, and even went so far as after recieving these funds, got this same person a hearing with the SEC to try to get his company listed in the US (he was unsuccessful). #3 His roll back of the middle and upper level tax cuts would be a Tonya Harding type attack on a recovering economy, that is seeing inflationary pressures. And the other thing that bugs me on a personal level about Kerry is the lack of investigation or publicity about his history or backround on a critical level. The first two things I talked about have barely gotten any mention in the press, while the Bush/Cheney stuff has been rehashed ad nauseum. It already has a feeling like the Clinton White House, where all of the illegal activities that occured were barely glossed over in the mainstream media. The last thing I want is to go back to that kind of stuff.

This would be a grea victory to start a big series!

This is the whole article from the Trib

McCain-Kerry instead of Kerry-McCain I would vote for. I would have voted for McCain in 2000, and would do so even more emphatically in this election.

Are you kidding. Running the country he doesn't have any time to post, now GW should have about 25,000 posts

That makes me feel better about Arnie's debut, if indeed it does happen.

My personal favorite sign idea was "Employees must wash hands before returning to work"

Cheney is actually from Wyoming.

Downtown looks like before Dawn.

If the guy can't handle what the fans say about him, he might as well retire then.

He didn't say it on his usual show. I caught a segment where Levine called in during Silvy and Carmen and then he mentioned it. As to Contreras, if the Yankees are willing to pick up at least most of his $8 mil a year, I say go for it. The guy has an electric arm, it just looks to me like he is having problems getting the right arms slots and angles. And after watching Don Cooper work his magic on Scho and ELo, I am willing to give him a chance with Jose.

To expand on this point, the Seligs have lent the Brewers money before, so it can be done, FWIW.l

The other interesting thing about Contreras that I heard when Levine was on Carmen and Silvy's show was that the Sox were going to use Contreras as a closer.

I'll return a few of these

I have always said this, and just because Shingo is on the Sox it doesn't change my opinion, if you have played professional baseball at a major league level somewhere else in the world, you shouldn't be eligible to be a Rookie of the Year.

Did they ever say if this kid knew he was too old for the league or not?

I couldn't believe it when I saw it. It takes a real big man to wrestle away a ball from a 4 year old. Life will even up the score for that guy.

Basically what you did was wait outside of someone's funeral and then trash the deceased as the mourners streamed outside. Now is this included in that wonderful funeral ceremony that you were bragging about putting on? Because if it is, I think I will look elsewhere. I will put it this way. If I ever heard someone trash my relatives on the day of their burial the way you just did, you had better be prepared to get your ass kicked for it. You are damned right I call it vindictive. Go back and look at the anger in your words and actions. You were so bent on trashing a dead man that you could hardly wait until he was in the ground to do it. To put it another way, will you be outlining all of the outrages of the Clinton administration when he is buried? If this was done just because of who Reagan was, and you wouldn't do it for Clinton, there isn't a much better explanation than hate or revenge. Also my anger stems from the fact that you of all people should know better. You see first hand the anguish that death causes a family. Yet you could barely contain yourself, waiting to exploit the death of someone to make your political statement. I don't claim to be a people expert, but I know better than to piss on someones grave, while people are mourning. And the worst of it, is you are giving an ends justifies the means response. There is no compassion at all in your actions. There is no respect for those who look at Reagan as a father-figure of sorts, the sameway that some have looked at Clinton in the same respect. I can't believe that this thought didn't at least make you delay your posting. Go ahead, hate Reagan all you want. I just can't believe you of all people couldn't show more compassion to other people.

Frankly I am disappointed in the amount of class you are showing. I always thought of you as a better person than this, and much less vindictive. There is a time and a place for everything, and of all people, I would have thought that you would have known and respected that. And this is the exact reason that while my family has been suffering that I have avoided this site. There has been a horrible epidemic of just horrible self-serving vindictiveness. Maybe I didn't stay away long enough.

Wow. I expected better than this. Very, very disappointing.

I will go with the college pitcher Lumsen and Brando Allen from Montgomery Texas since I actually lived they for a summer.

I hope a few key guys are taking notes. The Braves are putting on a hitting clinic. A pitch on the outter half, take it into right and right center. Crede and Olivo could learn a lot today if they are paying attention.
