But we as American's know what we see on TV has no affect on how we live our lives

It sounds like Graff is all but gone. He has a couple offers on the table according to the rumor mill.

Ah. I couldn't figure out if it was a long hairred cat or dog, or what the hell?

I hate to say it but a Weaver for Konkero trade with the Yankees picking up some cash now becomes MUCH more likely.

What is that in your Avatar, F14?

Story in today's Trib

I didn't hear anything either, but they made it clear right away that they were not going to bring Carl back. It was just weird the way it happened.

Atlanta wanted to cut their payroll from $94 mil to $80 IIRC. I don't think they have the money for Sheffeild and still be able to replace the pitching they are losing.

Are you kidding? It happened on the African continent. Basically nobody in America cares. As a country the general ignorance of what happens in Africa is amazing. The great majority of people couldn't find Rwanda on a map, let alone tell you what a Hutu or Tutsi are.

He isn't coming back here then. Plus just from the sounds of it, he pissed someone off, because right away they said he wasn't coming back.

I don't know about that. Half price nights were huge draws all year long.

I haven't even heard Millwoods name lately. Who is left in the running for him? I gotta imagine with the Phillie Milton trade, they are out. The Red Sox are now concentrating on relief help after getting Schilling. Who is left in the running? Is Anaheim interested in Millwood?

People have been dying in CO from the flu already this year. Plus up here I know a lot of people who have been very sick already this year.

The sad thing is, for once, Bush is right about the dumping of steel on the US markets.

Out of curiousity does anyone know anything about this Silva kid? Rex or MN have either of you seem him? Or if anyone else knows anything I would be curious to hear it.

Me too. I think Mason is going to be a stud.

Ah, that makes sence. Thanks Murc.

Supposedly the two #1 picks, Sebrook and Babchuk, are going to be something else. Babchuk really did make the team out of the preseason, but they wanted to get him more ice time. And according to the Trib everyone Tallon talks to about deals asks for one of these two kids. It'll be interesting to see how they work out.

What would be really cool for the site is to talk one of the minor leaguers into either doing a weblog for the site, or to do some kind of writing for the site. It would really separate the site from others because it would be able to say it has the involvement of our minor leaguers, first hand. Try to talk to someone like Bull or Banj and see if they would be interested or if they could talk one of their buddies into it.

I wonder if Jerry West and Hubie Brooks can get this kid straightened out? He has a huge amount of talent (of course he is from IN) and it is a complete waste for this kid to be acting like an idiot.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't need an alter-ego to do that...

According to the Trib Roger Mason Jr is getting traded to the Raptors as well, the Bulls will get back Rick Brunson to be a veteran back up for PG/SG. For some reason the deal isn't going to be done until December 15th.

Why wouldn't he just say so? Its not like it is a big deal.

The sad thing is he might not be THAT crazy. The police station that filed Jakko was brought into found long distance microphones hidden on their propery, most likely to try to spy on conversations.
