Oh when will you learn, it isn't the speed that matters. What matters is the 25 MPH difference that he is able to get between his change and his fastball. The difference in speeds is murder on a batter.

I believe a good analogy is the space shuttle disaster. After the Challenger disaster NASAs safety work was air tight. Then as missions kept succeeding, they started accepting things that they didn't before as being "safe". What would not have passed before, began to pass. As time moved on, these thing pyramided on top of each other. Ice hadn't brought down a mission yet, so ice became acceptable. Foam coming off of the shuttle had never brought down a mission, so that became acceptable. Then disaster struck. Why do the Sox have to wait for disaster, to fix something that is obviously not working as well as it could be?

Q-hmmm so your choice is having six nails driven into your head, or watching Koch pitch the ninth for a save? My Answer- Pick one, they both hurt my head about the same

I was just looking at the sports page and this struck me. These are the Top hitter BA leaders in the AL (and yes I know it is May 6th, but still) Belliard-CLE Rodriguez-DET Ford-MN Uribe-CHI MYoung-TX Who would have ever guessed that anyone but IRod would even be in the top 5, let alone all 4 of those guys.

Fan, I think the publicity of it is worth waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than the actual advertising benefits. The controversy has everyone talking, and indirectly about the movie.

You can't sum up this season anymore than that.

How about Purell antibacterial soap for Moistest Alou?

I'll buy you a ticket to a game. I'm just not paying to get your ass to the game

Yeah I hear the senator loud and clear.

Yeah, that was something else. Even the attitude in the booth is pretty loose and refreshed this year. Those two seems like teenage school girls, they are giggling so much.

I hate when politicians use things like this for their own personal gain. Bastards. I should have know Kerry would support that has-been Chisoxfn.

The Soviet Union failed for one simple reason. We you don't give people incentive, they get lazy. When you are guarenteed work, food, shelter, no matter how hard or little you work, why work hard? The propaganda of the good of all only gets you so far. When the best you can expect out of life is that state owned one bedroom apartment, while waiting on a list for a 3 cylinder car, and getting you stamps for food stuff staples-where is the incentive? The effecency of the Soviet industry became atrocious over the years. There is no way that system can survive long term.

Wow, Bull ditched the sidearm stuff. Any word on exactly why? Did the experiement fail or was he hurt or something else???

I have him in leagues too. He is about ready to hit the fantasy unemployment line.

I thought I read in the ST yesterday that the Austin had settled with his old team? Anyway, if the Bulls select lower than 3rd they are screwed.

Yeah, if we were going to deal Joe, we should have done it when he was the next big thing. Now it is too late.

Riff Raff: It's astounding; Time is fleeting; Madness takes its toll. But listen closely... Magenta: Not for very much longer. Riff Raff: I've got to keep control. I remember doing the time-warp Drinking those moments when The darkness would hit me Riff & Magenta: And a void would be calling... Transylvanians: Let's do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again. Narrator: It's just a jump to the left. All: And then a step to the right. Narrator: With your hands on your hips. All: You bring your knees in tight. But it's the pelvic thrust That really drives you insane. Let's do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again. Magenta: It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me. So you can't see me, no, not at all. In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention, Well secluded, I see all. Riff Raff: With a bit of a mind flip Magenta: You're into the time slip. Riff Raff: And nothing can ever be the same. Magenta: You're spaced out on sensation. Riff Raff: Like you're under sedation. All: Let's do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again. Columbia: Well I was walking down the street just having a think When this snake of a guy gave me an evil wink. He shook me up, he took me by surprise He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes. He stared at me and I felt a change. Time meant nothing, never would again. All: Let's do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again. Narrator: It's just a jump to the left. All: And then a step to the right. Narrator: With your hands on your hips. All: You bring your knees in tight. But it's the pelvic thrust That really drives you insane. Let's do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again.

Good historical post, well up until the last line jab. I don't think any of this stuff has changed much. The big difference is what used to be buried is now splashed in the media. It seems like this era is soooooo much worse, but really nothing has changed. Human nature is still human nature. When you hear the idealistic stories of your grandparents, ask them about the parts they are leaving out.

That looks like a great book. I love reading stuff that is contra to accepted history.

huh, we went back down to $1.81, right away. Stupid thieves :fyou

And in reality, what are the odds of a team drafting, signing, growing, and maturing 3 starting pitchers into potential Cy Youngs? If it were easy, every team would be doing it. I want to see the As do it again, to prove it wasn't luck. If Blanton and Harden turn into stars, I will be a believer in Beane.

Geesh even the server was so shocked it crashed
