QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 10:40 AM) If newsweek wants to criticize us than have the balls to do it to us...Don't post articles for foreigners and not for us. Do you think they should publish the same magazine all around the world? That doesn't make good business sense to me.

As always, exhaustive research and statistical work by Juggs. It also matches what my gut tells me.

We are the greatest superpower on the planet. I don't mind some criticism, competition is what makes us great. We fix things better than any country that ever was.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 08:30 AM) Any idiot who actually watches Fox News can see that on their OPINION related shows there is a bias toward the right wing and RIGHT thinking guests. How does that relate to how the news is reported though? There you go again lumping in shows that are based on OPINION with actual news reporting. Part of it is the talking opinion makers tell you to not trust the liberal news reporting and just listen to them for the truth on what is really happening. Then they tell the GOPerheads what to think. Too many people get their news from Rush, O'Reilly, Hannity, Ingram, Savage, Colson, Chuck Muth, Kaye Daly, Tom Adkins, Beverly LaHaye, Dr. James Dobson, Medved, Reagan, do I need to go on? Just give me a ditto Nuke

Hard core partisan politics sound the same from both parties. They both need an enemy to target, a big scary monster under the bed that will cause people to open up the checkbooks. Same with many types of fundraising. Notice how Christian Fundamentalists found the homosexual card to play after communism was wiped off the front page? Give now or we'll all be commies by News Years Day.

I'm, not sold on the talent in the NL East. It has the most parity, but perhaps not the best teams. Not disputing what you wrote, just offering some cautious observations.

I was just thinking with Carl there, it makes it less of an ass-pucker time to have Frank play first. If Car was dealt, and we were looking at Timo as the DH, I'd be screaming for Ozzies head if he played Frank more than a handful of times at first. Now, let Frank play more at first, plus he always has hit better when he's playing defense also. Paulie certainly could use a break, and come in as a late inning defensive replacement in tight games.

It is reasonably impossible to *know* with 100% certainty, what motivated someone. For that reason, I am against "hate crime" legislation. I like things that can be proven factually in a court of law. And flip this around, they should be punished *less* if the victim was a good ol' boy like themselves??

One area you should all check for part time summer help are smaller businesses. You will probably have a better chance to learn something and the pay might be about the same. Think of something you would be interested in, search through the phone book, and call the owner. Tell him you search for someone doing XYZ, it sounded interesting, and you would like a job for the summer.

The boxing game is pretty cool until the heavyweight division and the money and b.s. I remember sitting in a HS gymnasium (St. Anns?)watching the golden gloves when Spinks had a nephew or something like that fighting. Telender had the seat next to mine, he's always been my favorite sports writer. That was pure boxing. A lot of fun. We have a lot of Mexican fighters coming over here for some decent matches. The lower weights are really cool. DeLaJoya is producing fights now.

We lose either way. I wish they both could co-exist.

Let me get this straight, this format is for people who want an iPod shuffle experience, but don't have an iPod. So, are there many advertisers that want to market to people too cheap to buy their own iPod shuffle?

I'd wait to see who has the hot arm in October. We have 5 very good starting pitchers this season. Anyone could be on a 10-0 run heading into a post season appearance. I do see Mark in game 1, after that, anything could make sense then.

I's like to see one of these guys, and I do not care which one, in a package trade for a starting 3B. Crede + (Harris, Perez, Ozuna) + whatever FutureSox™ we need to toss in. Just tossing one of these guys to AAA isn't helping the here and now.

Anyone who isn't concerned how Frank will handle a platoon situation is probably not a Sox fan, certainly not a long time one. Frank is a HoF caliber player and hes being asked to platoon at best because another player is swinging the bat better. Frank has always been honest about how he feels and many times other players and management haven't been happy with that. What happens this season and how Frank handles it, will go a long way in determining his HoF chances. It isn't fair, but it will.
