What about the strip tease on skates that player did during a game? OH wait, that was in a movie

Seriously. Why does Bill Wirtz still own the BlackHawks? What does he get out of it? I know it's an exclusive club he belongs to by owning a pro sports team, but the franchise hasn't held Lord Stanley's Cup in 42 years and the last time it was at the Stadium it was a Penguin holding it (IIRC). Does he really enjoy this? Why does he continue to let Pully do anything? Why does he keep hiring Sutters? Why aren't home games on local TV? Does he even care anymore? Isn't he ready to retire and please don;t tell me there is a Wirtz Jr. ready to take over.

excellent post Pasttime Nice New Orleans tie in. Gotta give that one 5 stars. We are going to miss Colon. He was terrific down the stretch and ncorgbl's Tub o Goo posts were priceless.

I have the same gut feeling, I wish there was something based in fact to back it up. I would have been happier if he said he needed surgery for a hang nail on his middle toe. The only players other teams are really interested in on our roster (in order) Maggs Lee Thomas Koch Valentin Kong I've felt all along that Maggs or Lee will be in a new uniform next year. I was less certain about Thomas. I will be very shocked if all three are playing together next season, except for maybe an all-star game.

Here is 1999 1. Devil Rays Josh Hamilton OF Raleigh, NC 2. Marlins Josh Beckett RHP Spring, Texas 3. Tigers Eric Munson C University of Southern California 4. Diamondbacks Corey Myers SS Scottsdale, AZ 5. Twins B.J. Garbe OF Moses Lake, WA 6. Expos Josh Girdley LHP Jasper, Texas 7. Royals Kyle Snyder RHP University of North Carolina 8. Pirates Bobby Bradley RHP West Palm Beach, FL 9. Athletics Barry Zito LHP University of Southern California 10. Brewers Ben Sheets RHP N.E. Louisiana University The sucess rate of top 10 picks still sucks.

Did mamma Sutter have any daughters? They'll be coaching next

I think fire Sutter has been on the To Do list for 25 years. Is it an NHL rule we have to have a Sutter on the payroll?

I've been whining that draft picks, prospects and the like don't mean spit. I was wondering who was drafted ahead of Frank Thomas. Here is the 1989 top 10 picks. 1. Orioles Ben McDonald RHP Louisiana State University 2. Braves Tyler Houston C Las Vegas, NV 3. Mariners Roger Salkeld RHP Saugus, CA 4. Phillies Jeff Jackson OF Chicago, IL 5. Rangers Donald Harris OF Texas Tech 6. Cardinals Paul Coleman OF Frankston, TX 7. White Sox Frank Thomas 1B Auburn University 8. Cubs Earl Cunningham OF Lancaster, SC 9. Angels Kyle Abbot LHP Long Beach State University 10. Expos Charles Johnson C Fort Pierce, FL Drop the farm clubs and invest the money in free agents.

and bonus for spelling

As I was watching I kept thinking, they don't look that bad for a team that totally sucks in the standings this year. They seem to be hustling, getting back, decent passing, etc. Then I realized they were playing the Hawks

My favorite quote "It was the same thing in Atlanta," Haslett said. "He'll learn. He's only 32."

At least the guy has a great conversation piece. Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? No. As a matter of fact it's my penis, my ex-wife cut it off and I had it varnished. Want to see it?

Sorry to hear that.

I would like to thank everyone for responding and nominating. The nominating committee will begin sorting through all this and the polls will open on Wednesday, at the latest.

I'm not so sure. playing time and other things may factor in. Plus at his skill/salary level money matters more. If winning was that important he would have thrown himself on the Yankees or Lakers and begged them for a job at minimum.

why oh why did I post that. I walked back to see the replay of the Dallas goal.

Seriously, how excited would we be if we signed a Graffy type player? Nothing wrong with the Graff-man; but I'm not too concerned about the balance of power shifting in the AL Central with this move. The Royals are still behind us and we're still behind the Twins. Besides they had to match our Uribe move like the Red Sox and the Yankees match each other's moves.

It's tough sometimes to play fair when you know the other side won't. Still we need to live our values, no matter how irritating they can be. We want to be the shining example for the world's people to aspire to. Although a suspended sentence, full retirement benefits, and a thank you from the President might also be in order.

I must be good luck, they are up 1-0 in the second period. I am so homesick seeing the Hawk logo at center ice. Would someone please spill a $8.00 beer on me?

Hopefully this will recognize the posters who excell in quality instead of quantity like most of us to get different recognitions. Right now post totals has been the only judge. Cheat, Could you also design a nomination trophy for the runners up?

If we are willing to accept this method, then we must be willing to accept the other side doing it to our guys. I'm not certain I can accept that. I would be outraged to learn that an Iraqi interogator decided to fake shooting one of our guys to make him talk about future US military plans.

I try to look at the basis before attacking an opinion. Most of the time when people disagree, they are working from two sets of "facts".

I agree, but the minor leagues are becoming less and less fruitfull for the team that drafts them. By the time you home grow a pitcher and he's on your 25 man roster, the money issue kicks in and adios. How many picks out of your first 10 round picks would you package for a; Maggs? I'd give you all of them Lee? at least 6 Buerhle? at least 8 I'm too old to get excited about draft picks.

MANILA, Philippines -- A jealous wife cut off her sleeping husband's penis after finding a text message from another women on his mobile phone, a newspaper reported Friday. Antonio Llanesiras, 30, was being treated at the Pasay City General Hospital. Surgeons there saw little chance of reattaching the plumber's severed organ, which was brought in by the wife carefully wrapped in a piece of cloth, according to the Manila Standard. It wasn't immediately clear if charges will be filed against the woman. ------------------------------------------------ As guy slowly wakes up hmm she's grabbing my shorts she's grabbing my penis!! she's walking away with my penis
