We have a great group of starters in our farm system. One is going to emerge, a la Dontrell Willis.

Running the mile
My luck to see Jim everywhere my Junior year. I finished second in my conference as a Sophmore and thought I culd run the 880. Then I watched Jim and realized I sucked. By the way Joe Newton at York High School is arguably the greatest High School coach in any sport. His "Long Green Line" won about half the state titles in the 60's and 70's. Just an amazing program.

It is one of the oldest circulating internet jokes. Excellent bit of work.

I'm 50 over my college cross country weight. But it's slowly dropping. I need to be around 180-190 for a 2 week backpacking trip in New Mexico next year.

I'm going to sneeze, just a feeling. We're on our own for pitching this year. What we got, is what we got.

SI: Bad teams can be good at winning one run games
Or the second has Billy Botch on the mound. I am so glad that writers have figured out we have nothing. I think it is far better to have writers asking "Wow, can you explain how you guys are doing so well when everyone thought you sucked?" instead if You are .5 games out of a division you were suppose to dominate, what's wrong?"

Running the mile
Seriously, running a marathon isn't really that difficult with about a year to prepare. Guys who are racing marathons on the other hand You should never really go into oxygen debt in a marathon, it's more just logging the training miles, gently increasing your max run into the 20 mile range.

That was almost the same conclusion I had. I assume he was dead before the decapitated him. Since they dumped the body, I am certain an autopsy will show what happened. What will be interesting is if an autopsy is done, by whom, and if the family and public will be told the results.

Running the mile
Damn that's tough. My race was the 880 Yard run (showing my age) I ran a 1:55 downstate and finished last in my heat. My best mile time was a 4:28 split in a 2-mile medley relay. I did run a 3:30 marathon that I consider my best race. I floated through that race. I swear I could have run 50 that day.

Kerry would nominate McCain as SECDEF
Nuke, you've been quick to label what a liberal thinks, or have you forgotten :headshake

And we elected him President. God Bless America

Kerry would nominate McCain as SECDEF
He names a few others. McCain is a rare politician that would be equally uncomfortable in either party. He's a conservative Democrat or a Liberl Republican, either way, I would vote for him over either of our choices today. He could have been a deciding factor for either candidate if they had asked him to be veep.

Remember the first and most important rule of stadium fights. 1. Never fight "up hill" at the least get on the same level. After that and before hitting the guy, yell "f***ing 'fill in away team name here' fan" I had awesome Bulls seats in the old stadium until people actually started paying to stand. Once it got really crowed the last .1% of the fans are ass holes and they start showing up.

So they are a lot like the Palestinians.

I would love for this to be a conspiracy and later, Berg appears unharmed. I have never seen a decapitation but was surprised at the lack of blood. I also noticed the time change on the screen, and some other oddities like the orange jumpsuit. And his whole release after being detained. There seems like there should be more to this story.

Anyone here raise pigeons?
Just wondering. I am busy helping a baby pigeon recover from a fall and wonder about getting him to fly, etc. I'm guessing he is about 2-3 weeks old. Maybe 4.

Other than that, how did you enjoy the game This is an excellent time to write a letter to guest relations, and security outlining everything. Too often the correct people are not given the proper information to make the proper decisions.

Good and Bad in Iraq
I'm starting to get a :fyou them feeling which I had not had before. The prison abuse photos and assassination video is being debated on how they effect our public support of the war. Maybe that would have been a better question. I'm just having less sympathy for the Iraqis when I see the assassination and corpses being dragged through the street.

Sox post game show
Does anyone remember the stats that Ventura put up one month when he was player of the month. I think he had like 15 homeruns, batted .500 and capped the month with a homerun which may have been a walk off. I really enjoyed watching him play, but I only want him back to join Ozzies coaching staff.
