Rumy taking the hit
All Washington scandals can be judged by who takes the fall and the Iraqi prisoner scandal must be big time. A time honored tradition is the party in power to offer someone's head on a platter and it looks like it will be Rumsfeld. Bush has come out and attacked him for the manner in which he kept Bush informed. This should be interesting. I'll bet we are going to be in for a ride and election year politics isn't going to help this at all. CNN lead story; link will change

Pat Tillman.........Hero?
Yes. For giving up a pro football career for military service, he was as much a hero as everyone else who signs up. I don't care if the person gives up $4 an hour at Burger King, to defend our country, it is just as heroic. I believe that is the point Tillman was making by avoiding the media spotlight.

OMG, I think this guy is seriously
I think this guy may need a therapist. I guess he and BeGood are both big fans of the Dolphins

Favorite Family Guy Quote
The scene where Peter comes back from a court ordered feminist retreat and breast feeds Stewie. I fell off the coach and begged for mercy I was laughing so hard at Stewie's expression.

Interesting factoid
Jose has played more 3rd than 2nd in his career, He has only played 19 games at second and none since 1994. He did log major time at third before Crede took over. I don't see Crede sitting so basically we have Uribe as the utility guy who Ozzie will look hard for places to play. And why not a little DH and give Frank and occassional rest?

Bush, Kerry Awash in Money
Excellent point. Is it correct to take away someone else's right because someone else can not excercise their own?

Bush, Kerry Awash in Money
I agree 100%; what do you suggest? How about a spending limit with a dollar for dollar donation to an approved non profit, non political group? Donate a dollar, spend a dollar. Balancing freedom of speech issues with reality is tough.

Ligue gets another break
He probably wants his medical bills paid, some therapy for his ear, maybe a couple million for not being able to hear his wife . . .

Thomas - Maggs Switch; Working?
I liked it from the start. I still find it amazing that Frank is leading the team in runs and Maggs in RBI. It was suppose to work in reverse.

Koch is no longer the closer...please
I agree with the sentiment. The ump was balancing out bad calls. However, fair is calling every pitch to the best of your ability, not trying to balance it out.

Koch is no longer the closer...please
Good analysis. I wonder what Ozzie would have done yesterday if he had Marte or Zero available for the 9th. When I saw Koch trotting out there I knew it was his to save or lose. I couldn't see Oz pulling him for who?

Koch is no longer the closer...please
Pitches-strikes: Schoeneweis 107-69, 65% Strikes Politte 10-9, 90% strikes Marte 1-1, 100% strikes Takatsu 2-1, 50% strikes Koch 37-21, 57% strikes I'm not certain what an acceptable ratio is. As far as blown saves; Koch's big year 2002 he went 44 of 50 for a 88% conversion. I would assume some of those were close like yesterday. I do know Foulke is 5 for 5 with an ERA below 1.0

Anyone else afraid of flying?
If you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with. Headphones for sure to block out any irregular, but normal, sounds from the plane. Try and sleep, if possible. Sleeping pills may work depending on the time of day. If the flight has internet access try surpassing ss2k4 in posts.

Interesting factoid
Uribe can get his at bats covering once a week or so at third, short, and second. Hell if he stays hot, he may DH a game or two.
