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.

It looks like Maggs, Lee, Kong, and Crede are going to be logging 150+ games. The 4-some of Harris, Valentin, Rowand, and Uribe will keep churning depending on who is "hot" and Olivo and Alomar seem like co-starters at this point in the season. Gload jumps in every once in a while, (doesn't deserve much more at this point), and I see Perez and his lefty bat falling further back if Harris starts playing some center. All in all I like how Ozzie is handling the bench. He seems to search for ways to improve without disrupting too much. We'll see how he handles NL ballparks later this season.

Those aren't commercials, those are the cars and drivers. I know it is hard to tell the difference.

That explains the avatar Mr. Frued

Kudos for Thread Title

cnn.com has it as their lead. Must be because it potentially hurts Bush's chances. I have no idea why they ae not reporting instead on the happy news of Iraqi children going to school and utilities working.

I like the ground he covers in center and seems to be developing some Cell instincts. However, I prefer seeing a batting order with Jose, Willie, and Juan. I see Rowand's future platooning more with Willie if Rowand's bat (.212 avg) doesn't come around.

That would be you

My opinion was Mark would have a better year and E-Lo worse and they would balance each other out. So far I think I'm close. But to not be concerned about Mark's last too seasons is crazy.

I read an interesting essay by a gay woman who proposed that the government get out of all recognition of Church sponsored unions and only recognize a civil union. Interesting perspective.
