Does anyone care that the word "love" has been hijacked. We "love" the Sox, we "love" SUVs, we "love" Jesus? Is there a clear difference or are we talking a continuing scale?

OK, how about two Hall of Fame players. I do not believe Frank is even on the bubble, except maybe because of his steller PR skills, but Sammy will be a certain HoF player, if not a first ballot kind of guy. But, the main point I am making is this. Frank is one of the Sox greatest players and he can't draw flies.

What is sad is right now, in Chicago arguably the greatest Cub of all time, Sosa; and the greatest White Sox of all time, Thomas are playing. And we are talking about needing a bigger draw than Maggs. Frank isn;t even in the equation :headshake

Thank you APU. Well written. But revenge is sweet, and some people want blood.

I cannot find a thing in there to disagree with. One option that hasn't been mentioned is sign Ordonez and trade Frank for a dozen balls and a pound of cheescake to the Yankees or someone who can handle his contract. If I could only have Maggs or Frank, at this stage in their careers, I would take Maggs.

I am planning a trip to Big Bend National Park and realized we would be travelling about 10 miles from the nearest road. That go me to thinking, most people spend their entire lives within a mile of a road or a car.

The Bible is filled with parables and meaning that needs to be dug out from a personal perspective. What is plain to me is, Thou shall not kill. 1. Our system is not perfect. (OJ free) 2. Innocent people are convicted and later found innocent 3. Only God should have that power, not the government. CW wrote a couple days ago that an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. I like that.

Again, you are painting every Palistinian with the same brush stroke. Let them bury their dead. I've seen the footage of these protests that spawn from funerals. We've seen them in South Africa, we've seen them in the US, it isn't usually the families who are grieving, it's people from the community who are using the funeral as a vehicle for protest. Be human and let people bury their war dead.

The heat wouldn't be killer, the wind would be. I never was able to run Boston. The year I had scheduled to go, they changed the qualifying and I did not have a chance to run a qualifying time before the race. I also didn't have the travel budget to go somewhere warmer than Chicago in December. I learned later they were granting exceptions for college racers.

Can we separate a protest, from a funeral, from a military action?

forgiveness doesn't mean we should continue to be victims. Some people should never be set free.

I have a problem with sending a missle to a funeral. I guess you do not believe in freedom of speech. But that's ok, either did the Ohio National Guard. May 4th

This was Boston Marathon time for me, when I was younger

Actually, I think you delivered it on a tray

Still? I thought he sold it last year. Here is an old link to some info which may or not be accurate Straight Dope And from snopes.com

No WMD, no oil, and Haliburton is too busy with their Iraq contracts to make some money. Why do anything? Of course I sure would like to see Britian, and Russia, and Poland, and Canada, and France, and Italy, and Mexico, and Australia, and Spain, and so on do something.

He's been upgraded to Be Good and dropped the OPENING caps unless it's a special occassion. He also gave us up for lent. All of his sports passions are contained here

I'm not worried. It's only one game, and I didn't expect the sweep the SKankees anyways. I still think our luck with new pitchers will change this year.

Commenting on the McDonalds CEO tragic passing Southsider had this to say

He's just praying that he isn't facing a lifetime of flame broiling
