Lets get a series win 6-13-04
The guy has a 6.02 on the road. I wonder if we could pull a trade as our 5th starter?

You gotta be fucking kidding me!
Zero. The same chance he would have had if it was black, hispanic, middle eastern, etc.

Bush Senior Gears Up for Birthday Skydive
is that new? I just never remember seeing her at anything, then she shows up at Reagans West Coast funeral and now this. Who is she banging?

Catholic, plenty of services to serve the faithful. Mark's so consistent. His daytime and nighttime splits are about the same. It should be a good one.

Terrorism down in 2003?
That's one way to fight those terrorist statiticians. Buy hey, it was an honest mistake by our government.

Watching Frank play 1st
Doesn't sound nutty today. We'll see in 6 weeks. That show some of the versiltility of Maggs. He could do well in the 2 spot. I wouldn't mind seeing Lee in the #2.

Jordan Tribute
did you forget compulsive gambler and adulterer Awesome closer on the court. The two most impressive things to me in his career A. His defense, he came to play every night, his D proved it. B. Moved his game from inside drives to perimeter jumps. Awesome sig. Does that use a lot more bandwidth?

Good point, I thought Oz would be good for him. The next big test will be when Maggs comes back. We'll see how smoothly the lineup adjusts.

Bloomsday Centennial
Shall we try a little Ayn Rand instead? I finally just shrugged, gave up and went to look at the fountainhead instead. of course maybe I'm not be objective here. Some random Ayn Rand quotes Poverty is not a mortgage on the labor of others - misfortune is not a mortgage on achievement - failure is not a mortgage on success - suffering is not a claim check, and its relief is not the goal of existence - man is not a sacrificial animal on anyone's altar nor for anyone's cause - life is not one huge hospital.

Watching Frank play 1st
Watching Frank play 1st reminded me of what an outstanding athlete he is. His work ethic is among the best in baseball. Some DHs seem to grow around the middle and get long of tooth, but Frank is so damn solid. I consider myself lucky to have been able to watch him his entire career.

McCain Rejects Kerry's VP Overtures
It would be nice if political parties could or would take a longer term view. I just realized part of this is a historical view. As the attempt on Reagan's life and Kennedy's assasination move quickly into our rear view mirror, the possibility of the VP taking over isn't nearly as important as it was in the past. It may also be a product of us electing younger Presidents and our general increase in health as a population.

Streaking
Not to mention specifics and jinx them, but besides the guy on top there are a couple other Sox players with some nice streaks going. ESPN Link

McCain Rejects Kerry's VP Overtures
Conventional wisdom say he needs to pick a strong campaigner who can possibly carry a swing state and help him win the White House in 2004. Anything after that is gravy.

McCain Rejects Kerry's VP Overtures
I am thinking the military experience will gain him votes from undecideds who are worried about a strong military during these times. However, I think Edwards is also a strong choice.

How the hell is Bo Derek showing up at everything? Where is she getting the GOP cred?

McCain Rejects Kerry's VP Overtures
I think he's leaning towards Clark. Bush 43 proved that balancing the ticket geographically isn't a requirement for political success. He does need someone with a solid moderate record.

Worth It?
That turned out hilarious when we brought him back. Actually Jordan pulled a Baines in that respect. I don't think Maggs has the numbers like Baines did.

McCain Rejects Kerry's VP Overtures
By RON FOURNIER AP I think McCain is looking at a 2008 Presidential bid. Either way this election goes, 2008 is open for a GOP run. McCain has a huge potential to create a posse of McCain Democrates. Diving in with Kerry would block him of that path.

Worth It?
Thank you YASNY. Once I looked at CWSGuy's profile, I realized how much sense losing Maggs must seem like. Think we will retire his number on the way out of town?

Colon
Kind of like we were with Buerhle at the start of last season. Quite a few wanted to grant him his wish to play for the Cardinals.

Bartolo Colon
So what is everyone doing with their share of the extra money? Colon was replaced by Wright. Last year 6 wins out of the #5 starter wins the division. Colon is gone, we now have zero wins from Wright, Diaz, Rauch, Cotts. 3 or 4 wins would have us with a lead in the division.
