feeling chatty and enthusiastic.

Hey! No Iowa bashing or I'll come down to Texas and kick your scrawny ass! Actually I have relatives in DesMoines and a very good friend in Ducorah. Nice state and what can I say home to a Cub farm team. Of course Iowa really puts the farm in farm team.

Why do you think they went with the PTBNL? Did the Sox want him so bad right now or did Texas want him out right now or is it some sort of two tiered deal if he does this we get that or if he does this we get that? I'm guessing Kenny or generically the Sox wanted both trades completed the same day and didn't have enough time to get both trades fully done.

25,493 Who knows, if we get another 30,000 maybe the media will notice there's mlb in town.

I just noticed I went over 1,000. Sorry, I'll shut up now.

That sounds a little dirty

Does the team really need old vets? Scotty can talk about how to not play with a headache and how to refuse to play if your number isn't called. Scotty and Horace should be looking at contenders to fill out their time. No need for them to lose 50 games at the end of their career. I was never impressed enough with their work ethic. Well maybe Horace was good. I like the guys, just don't think they fit the 2004 Bulls.

I would say no because both are short term players. Keep the youth movement going.

The one page rule works if your applying for a lower level position. Two pages will not be the kiss of death. Don't not put something on teh resume because you will go to page two. Consider going to a temp agency that also does executive recruitment and let them know you would like to temp (even if you don't want to). they have excellent resume resources. And if you are using Microsoft Office log onto the office site, they have some good templates that people have uploaded.

LMAO How about the zit faced 13 year old squeeking beer here! and laughing when MY vendor is slowed down from his sworn duty to get ME a beer. Little brats. Cute women who don't find me charming, cute, and funny while drunk. TVWDCA (the vendors we don't care about) who can't look at the field and realize they are just pissing people off by standing in the aisle with their f***ing cotton candy when bases are loaded with 2 outs. And all you major leaguers out there will be glad you don't have to live with the #1 annoying promo. After every foul ball we hear "That's another G&S glass F-O-U-L BALL! and then the sound of glass breaking. Every f***ing foul ball at every game. No let up. How many foul balls are hit a game 30? 40? plus we play 50 home games. I will never never ever use G&S Glass.

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
