Reality Check
I would expand that to our division. Last year if we could have beaten Detroit, Detroit! we would be talking about the playoffs.

Kelly Wunsch activated, then optioned to Charlotte
That would seem like the most likely scenario, behind Wright reclaiming his spot.

LMAO. The Nigerian scam is a classic and there are several websites devoted to it. When fax machines were new it gave a whole new opportunity and now with email the skies the limit.

Allstar ballot
For cw, who is an ordained Pastor, Padres makes sense a nd is good karma. Kind of like if they had the Washington Movie Ushers Plus they have so little to cheer for.

Barry Bonds at it again
Barry Barry Barry :headshake Go read about Jackie's travel arrangements, or Larry's and tell me we haven't come a long way. Clemens is a f***ing pitcher. If you asked his Astros teammates what concessions they would make to have him come pitch, do you think they would have agreed ti let him stay home if he isn't scheduled to pitch? Dah. Hell, I'd let him sit in the stands and eat hotdogs if that's what he wanted to do between starts.

I enjoy the NL ballot better. I think this year I will join CWsox in his vote for all the Padres players.

Daily Herald is saying Loaiza has lost velocity
I don't know why he's concerned, I thought it was the difference in velocity between pitches I expected him to settle into the 15-18 win range and Buerhle moving up a few wins.

Military Times Blames Rumsfeld, not GIs
And I hope this doesn't hurt his/her career. I am not certain how we can take this all the way to Rumsfeld and not then to the President. If Rumsfeld kept it from the President, Rumsfeld should be gone. I believe Rumsfeld was not aware of these abuses, and I'm not certain he should have until the reports surfaced. Moral and ethical blame and punishment will be different than political responsibility and punishment. The administration will offer someone's head to satisfy the political debt. I believe, before this is done, Rumsfeld will be gone. Probably by annoucing he will be accepting a position in the private sector and not be a part of the next cabinet. I like the guy; but in an election year, and judging by the severity of the abuse, it will be a cabinet level resignation.

Geneva convention rules
I have heard comments like, "look what they did to us", "look at dragging corpses through the streets", "crashing airplanes into the World Trade Center" etc. I was not pointing to anyone specifically here. I am also agreeing with and amplifying what FlaSoxxJim said Rush earlier stated it looked like a fraternity initiation. That was early last week, probably before more of the photos were released. I haven't listened to hear what his current position is. Do you disagree with the statement that we have to model the behavior we expect when our soldiers are captured? I do not see how we can demand Geneva Convention standards for our servicemen and women and then break those same rules when we have prisoners.

Geneva convention rules
We cannot simultaniously demand high standards then use the lowest abuse our guys receive as justification for our own transgressions.

Military Times Blames Rumsfeld, not GIs
I have a hard time blaming Bush for this. What I can compare is having untrained employees (soldiers) in key positions. In the civilian sector a good supervisor watches these employees to make certain they are following work place rules, being safe, productive, etc. As a CO, you cannot take a mechanic, call him a prison guard, then leave him alone. The commanding officers must take responsibility. How high, I do not feel qualified to say. But I do know some in country supervisors need to accept responsibility. These were not one time events.

Sausage retires Mandy Block was recognized by the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council with a certificate of bravery. All for getting whacked by Randall Simon's bat.
