Two factors in trade Traditional factor: My surplus for a need that matches your surplus for a need. We have right power, who needs righty power and has either a decent starter or lefty power to trade? New Economic factor: Who's got a contract to dump (FA type)? Dumping Kong gets a Kong. I can't believe with all out minor league arms we cannot find a reliable 5th starter. Remember we had the dream minor league system for pitching, why hasn't it paid off bigger?

I just hope when Soxtalk sells the naming rights we have a really cool sponsor.

When further developments came out with the prisoner abuse story, what should our media do? Not all the facts came out at once. Should they have ignored the rest of the pictures? What I am attacking is the Republican Party who wants Americans to reject any criticism of them by calling the messenger bad. I also find it ironic that, at least on my radio dial, there is 18 hours a day of Republican talk show hosts claiming the media is biased. And the GOP party faithfuls go looking for any example of the media criticizing Bush and say "ditto Rush, look at these attacks". Again, the greatest political strategy of all time is the Republicans painting the media as biased. When the GOP screws up, like the Dems and every other elected official, the Republicans claim media bias and deflect all criticism. In a sense making themselves perfect. It was probably at 1/3 the reason why I left the GOP. I'm not saying the media is not biased. Everyone, in everything we do, is biased. I just reject that there is an overwhelming leftist bias. There is a bias towards accuracy. There is a bias on what will sell newspapers and reach more eyeballs. I heard Rush the other day attacking the media for not talking about the Iraqi children who are now attending school instead of talking about prisonor abuse. Instead of spending the hour attacking the media, why not spend the hour talking about school children?

A game I can see on real TV instead of mlb.com

It was my first time.

How did you know pasta is my nickname

bring in Vanna White and some vowels and they are easy

good point. Frank is finishing a career and rounding out some numbers. He has average points to burn, he needs HR for HoF consideration.

The Cubs compete for entertainment (baseball) dollars. Dollars = Colon vs. Diaz in the starting rotation. Dollars = Maggs signed or F.A. Dollars = Foulke or Koch From a current competitive position it has to be the Twins.

Didn't criticize Clinton? Gee then how did we ever learn about Monica, or any of the Clinton ladies? Whitewater, and I could go on. Nope, no criticism there. How about the impeachment hearings? Wasn't that the media? If the evening news spends :30 seconds reporting a Bush mistake the Republican talk show hosts will spend hours claiming media bias and that Bush is correct. Keep buying into the Republican plan. Only believe what they want you to believe. Why not just ban all newspapers and just have a GOP media. Keep repeating ,mega dittos Rush, mega dittos Rush,mega dittos Rush,mega dittos Rush,mega dittos Rush,mega dittos Rush,mega dittos Rush,mega dittos Rush,mega dittos Rush. I do not believe the newspapers, only Rush and Hannity, I do not believe the newspapers, only Rush and Hannity, I do not believe the newspapers, only Rush and Hannity, I do not believe the newspapers, only Rush and Hannity, I do not believe the newspapers, only Rush and Hannity, I do not believe the newspapers, only Rush and Hannity, I am programmed for the GOP, I am programmed for the GOP, I am programmed for the GOP, I am programmed for the GOP, I am programmed for the GOP, I am programmed for the GOP, I am programmed for the GOP. A free press is out to get me. A free press is scary.

It will get there soon enough :headshake Since I spend a great deal of time working with youth, and we are very diligent in watching for things that do not seem quite right, I understand how this stereotype keeps reemerging. One of the things we look for is why is this person volunteering? If they do not have a child in the program, red flags go up immediately. And since many homosexuals are childless, they get lumped into a mislabeled pile. The Boy Scouts have invested heavily in training to stop pedaphiles from gaining access to the boys. Two deep leadership, no one on one contact ever, separate washroom, changing, and showering facilities, teaching the kids about pedaphiles, giving parents tools to help them, etc. are all ways we work to prevent this form of abuse. What is misinterpreted is the ban on openly homosexual leaders is not a youth protection issue, but rather the belief by the (charter) franchise organizations (usually Churches, LDS, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist) that homosexuals are not morally straight. BSA never claimed a link between homosexuals and the propensity to abuse children. What the US Supreme Court ruled was that the Boy Scouts, as a private entity, could set their own standards for membership. So it also affirmed the right for a Jewish group, for example, to limit their group to Jews, or a black businessmen's group to limit their membership to black businessmen. I am not claiming to agree of disagree with the BSA policy, however, I do agree wholeheartily in the Supreme Court's position.

Yes he has. He still has a way to go. I should back off the injury angle. Still losing 10% on the velocity of his fastball is a large drop.

Bummer. At least he's getting help for his problem unlike *cough, kough, koch, kough, cough*

Wow, do they have 12,000 posts at some secret NASCAR bulletin board?

I'm not knocking the team. At their age I think it's wonderfull they can still play. I like your team hats And I hear mamma can still pitch

Isn't that how you're playing on that softball team? And IIRC you paid for a 5-6 game and flawless defense THe last few charity auctions I've been to have include experience prizes, they are the latest thing.

And by the way, you didn't just drive down the Dan Ryan, you were in training for Bass Pro Shops MBNA 500 on Halloween Day in Hotlanta! Racin', rastlin', and fried pork rinds yeee haw that's a weekend Now you would really love NASCAR if you had a UpSales NASCAR Proscan 100 Scanner

Now you have to kiss mreye's ass.

Where does that leave Perez?

I think it is difficult to separate the chicken from the egg here.

I agree with Steff. We have some experiments happening and I wouldn't be this quick to give up on him. It is a long season.

Just checking something. Nice work

I just do not see E-Lo winning 21 games this season. Something in the 14-17 range seems more likely. I also see Mark winning 16-20, hence my prediction.

fortunately we have billions of dollars in surplus to spend helping out our good friends in Iraq.
