Now coming up the #9 batter Alomar on deck the lead off man Alomar I like the looks of that order. I would leave Olivo in the 9th spot also. Hasn't Robbie been batting 3rd for the Mets?

This could explain Why Ring. Another KC report indicates at least one other club was interested.

White Sox get Alomar when Royals won't meet Mets' terms By BOB DUTTON The Kansas City Star Second baseman Roberto Alomar joined the American League Central playoff chase Tuesday afternoon -- but not as a member of the Royals. Instead, it was the Chicago White Sox who acquired Alomar, a 12-time All-Star, from the New York Mets in exchange for three minor-league players. The Mets also agreed to pay all but $150,000 of the $3.9 million remaining on Alomar's 2003 contract. "Roberto continues to be a player with impressive offensive ability," White Sox general manager Ken Williams said. "He gives us an experienced, battle-tested veteran who has proven he can withstand a pennant race and play big in big games." The Royals wanted Alomar, 35, for their own playoff push and had reached agreement with the Mets on financial terms. But Royals officials say they weren't willing to surrender the prospects the Mets demanded in return. So the Mets turned to the White Sox and nabbed left-handed reliever Royce Ring, the 18th overall pick in the 2002 draft. Ring, 22, is 1-4 with 19 saves and a 2.52 ERA at Class AA Birmingham. The White Sox also traded Edwin Almonte, a 26-year-old righty who is 2-6 with 14 saves and a 6.88 ERA at Class AAA Charlotte and infielder Andrew Salvo, 23, who is batting .223 this season at Class A Kannapolis and Class A Winston-Salem. Alomar returns to the American League, where he batted .313 in 11 seasons with Toronto, Baltimore and Cleveland and hit 168 of his 203 career home runs. He spent his first three major-league seasons with the San Diego Padres. Alomar came to the Mets from Cleveland in an eight-player deal in December 2001. He batted .336 with 20 home runs and 100 RBIs in his final season with the Indians but suffered through a disappointing 11/2-year stint with the Mets in which he batted only .266 last season. "Sometimes, it doesn't work for you," Alomar said. "Sometimes, you play good in some places and other places you don't play up to your potential. I'm really sad I have to leave New York on these terms, but I have to move on and go to a place where I have a chance to win." He is a .302 career hitter in 16 seasons but is batting just .262 this season with two homers and 22 RBIs in 73 games. The trade reunites him with his brother, catcher Sandy Alomar Jr.

If we were starting the playoffs today and of course with us in them I would start Mark (hot hand) then E-Lo then Bart or would you start E-Lo based on performance to date.

I thought it was very cool to see everyone picking E-Lo. Giving credit to a new pitch bodes well for his second half. At this point even if he pitched .500 ball the rest of the way he is way ahead of everyone's projection.

Three wave threads going.

Welcome to Wrigley Field

If i could somehow punch those little punks doing the wave, i certainly would A shooting game would be fun.

I friend of mine told a tale of the first time he was at a Mexico strip club. He went to buy a lap dance (US$5) and the first thing the dancer did was start to remove his belt. Man he thought it was going to be so cool. The dancer whispers something to him in spanish that sounded very erotic (he doesn't speak spanish) his buddy leans over and translates for him . . . "Your belt buckle is too big, it's going to hurt me" he then showed me the pie plate buckle he bought in Dallas. Man it was a serving platter. You could receive satellite on that baby.

Sorry couldn't resist. The worst part of the wave is the danger of beer being spilled.

That is the one word that can shut down so many arguments with a woman. Of course the guy has basically f***ed himself with no hope of return. I was just reading that 87% of women have fantasies of two men at once One cooking and one cleaning

Another workers comp case involved a phone sex operator who sued because her fingers became injured from too much foreplay (i.e. not from dialing) She lost.

The strippers here where trying to deduct breast enlargements as business expenses, I love America

If he does it after a loss and someone made a boneheaded baserunning mistake or the manager didn't manage then If he's just feeling a little moody then Frank, Sandy, and the boys are going to have to speak with him.

Hey I would have booted you to. I happen to like c***s and c*** fans of all kinds.

I have to agree with you. the wave is the dumbest things I've ever seen and beach balls are stupid. Now when someone starts tossing around an inflate-a-mate that's humor!

I remember discovering that hamburger helper doesn't require hamburger and eating lots of ramen noodles. Now I carry some of the same stuff 20 miles into the wilderness and call it backpacking food. And drinking OLY or Old Style instead of my expensive first choice Miller High Life

Maybe it's kenny trying to figure out what to do or JM thinking hmm where should I put Everett

Do you think they would be good reheated after being frozen?

im headed to krispy kreams now... a trade of food is in order here......where do i send it too????? Let me figure out how to package up the tacos and a couple other local treats. I wonder if dry ice and a styrofoam coller would work?

I forgot about him. I'm sure he deserves some credit. I also believe it was almost inevitable. I say almost because I'm not so sure that PK can come around. I'm beginning to agree with otehrs herte who claim it's a hip, shoulder, or brain injury.

LMAO

You must exercise your right to vote! The world needs to know our collective opinions. Hell how could some of the talking heads do their jobs?
