It is the classic formula, sell what you have excess of and buy what you need. Our corners are solid ths year, but center is a guess.

I have to agree that Rauch is about to be expendable. Another can't miss prospect. :headshake

If I am absolutly forced to give an email address at some sites I will give one that goes to a web based freebie email box. It usually stops a lot of the spam from my in box. When I had my own domain, I would just set the addy so it would give me a clue where the junk was coming from. For example, I probably used soxtalk@borderstarsales.com when I first logged in here. I had anything@ service with that domain so if I received any spam (I didn't) addressed to soxtalk, I knew they were selling the list (they are not)

No mention of the duct tape condom . . . The duct tape page

I was a very bad boy my first prom. Two weeks before the prom I broke up with a girl and cancelled our date. Looking back, what a dick I was. Besides wearing really bad tuxs (I needed a Queer Eye) I organized boing whenever a Disco song was played. Now this was in 1978, so Disco was still a viable way to sell vinyl. We went up to Spring Lake in Wisconsin the next day and I wound up disappearing with a different girl for a while. I cannot even remember the name of my Junior year date. Senior year was a little better, although it was another bad tux. This time with a graffiti cumberbund and bow tie. I just realized, I am a bad breaker upper. This girl I broke up with after dating 2 years, 11 months, 3 weeks, and 5 days. I couldn't find a 3 year Anniversary gift, so I figured it was easier to just break up with her. Now I see kids renting limos, condos on South Padre Island, $300 prom dresses, etc. Seems like a giant waste of money. ANybody remember Steve Dahl's Prom Promo. It ended with the winner's dad proclaiming, "I wouldn't let my daughter go with you, or your sidekick, for all the tea in China buddy"

Or maybe he was concentrating on baseball?

And I agree with your agreeing with Aboz

And an understanding boss

I think that was a private email from his wife After all it is opening day and he is home . . .

7,000 posts Thank you for being such an entertaining and valuable member of soxtalk

I get between 50 and 100 on any given day. About half are from a listserv I belong too. I receive very little spam.

Remember there is no "I in team. I was joking with a friend of mine who is a HS coach. Every year he really dislikes cutting players and asked me if I had any suggestions. I told him to sit the player down and tell him there is no "I" in Team and as a matter of fact there is no "U" either. Now clean out your locker and visit the drama club. Fortunatly he did not take my advice.

RoyalsTwinsSox pick a name out of the hat and given 5 minutes, anyone on this board could build a case for them winning the AL Central. I assume some of the behind the scenes stuff is the analysts making certain they all do not pick the same team. After all they are in multiple markets and will try and keep everyone happy.

I have a class today at 4:30. I will be catching as much of the game as I can until then.

What were you wearing, where did you go, what happened, and do you even know your date today?

We do not have to worry about heads because He's an impact player. He's a physical player. He's an explosive player. He's a tough, hard-nosed player. He's a scrappy player. He's an unselfish player. He's a finesse player. He's some kind of player. (Mind telling us what kind?) He can take over a game. He can flat out play. He's a proven winner. He has a passion for the game. He's a serious student of the game. He has a great feel for the game. You can't say enough about him. He's one of the best in the business. He's the real deal. He's legit. He's in a league of his own. He's silenced all the critics. He's silenced all the naysayers. He's their spark plug. He's their role player. He understands his role on this team. He's the consumate team player.

Just play smashmouth foot . . . err tennis And keep you eye on the balls

OMG! This brings back some very bad late 70's memories. One year I was in a light blue Tux, another year I wore brown with an orange shirt to match her dress.

You can throw out the book when these two teams get together . . . Just take it one point at a time . . . Keep your head in the moment, don't get too far ahead of yourself . . . Just do it for your team mates . . .

That's part of the joke. It's always a "Top 5" but never has only 5. It is a very good humor list.

Add up personal and work.

OMG, I just realized she may have been hitting on me

Welcome to the boards. I can honestly say I wish the Sox would win the WS this year. If not White then Red.
