if we could find a way to move lee for beltran..that would be cool..it would have to be a 3 way deal though with us im sure sending other players to kc as well as lee to someone else because no way KC can take on lee's contract...

I don't hate Pat because he is religious. I hate him because he perverts his religion. "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians." -- Pat Robertson, fundraising letter, 1992 "I think we ought to close Halloween down. Do you want your children to dress up as witches? The Druids used to dress up like this when they were doing human sacrifice... [Your children] are acting out Satanic rituals and participating in it, and don't even realize it."--Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 10/29/82 (You do let your kids go trick-or-treating, right Baggio? Then you are also anti-Patty Pat) Petersburg Times, June 26, 1994; Bailey Smith, a founding father of Robertson's Christian Coalition, once told 15,000 people at a Religious Roundtable briefing in Dallas, "With all due respect to those dear people, my friend, God Almighty does not hear the prayer of a Jew." The Los Angeles Times, reprinted in The Religious Right: The Assault of Tolerance & Pluralism in America, produced by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL); "It's like guerrilla warfare....It's better to move quietly, with stealth, under cover of night. You've got two choices: You can wear cammies and shimmy along on your belly or you can put on a red coat and stand up for everyone to see. It comes down to whether you want to be the British army in the Revolutionary War or the Viet Cong. History tells us which tactic is more effective". (I guess Patty Pat even likes the VC, eh Baggs?) His sexist and ethnocentric views are why I hate him....and even moreso that he does it under the guise of Christianity. i dont agree with muslims , hindus or budhists...but unlike you and the so called tolerant left i dont hunt them down and rag on every word they say and try and to violate their civil liberties like the left does to christians through perverting the seperation of church and state...you make it a personal vendetta... as for robertson..he is just like anyone else..some of the things he says i dont agree with..others i do...i dont see him or conservative christians as some evil trying to destroy the american way of life... actually our family doesnt celebrate halloween..never has.. im not anti pat or pro pat..he is just another american with an opinion..just like you and i... listen to some of the crazy s*** coming out of your mouth..i still converse with you

sounds racist to me apu...you better rethink your position

thanks guys!!

here are some quotes from an article where jimenez rips the padres..this is what the pads have to say about jimenez He's the laziest teammate I've ever played with – that's 10 years," Klesko said. Said Nevin: "Who is he, anyway? Here's a guy who hasn't done anything and is blaming everybody else." "Countless times, Phil and I tried to help the kid," Klesko said of Jimenez. "(Manager Bruce) Bochy called him in (to his office) a bunch of times. Nothing you can do for him. The kid has no desire. What can you do? He didn't want to work." Klesko said another veteran, outfielder Ron Gant, tried to counsel Jimenez last year but was rebuffed. "(Jimenez) told Ronnie, 'You worry about yourself,' " Klesko said. "Ronnie's been in the big leagues 15 years, and that's the type of (expletive) you get."

i wouldnt say trade him for a minor leaguer or even for sidney ponson.. id looking to move him..but if the right deal cant be finalized then keep him ...he is expendable

my guy daubach is looking real good!!!

we have alot of worst moments..we havent won 85 years :fyou but the worst has to be the black sox scandal... story about catcher ray schalk..he was coaching baseball at some college...this was in the 30's or 40's...one of his pitchers asked him about the black sox scandal..he said son i cant talk about that..it was the worst thing to ever happen to me in my life..

shut out in the desert???....whooohooo.... our pitching sure looks better than i did last year ...when every pitcher was lit up in ST day after day

sorry apu but what they are talking about describes you to a T....you can tell us all how you love america but everything you write pretty much is hate filled towards every value most of us hold dear....why did you even bother posting that link???..maybe it hit too close to home??? No, the fact that Christians can advocate hatred and the killing of Iraqis was pretty damn funny. I guess Patty Pat never got his nose out of the Bible to read the Constitution and the First Amendment. just like the report says..if you hate capitalism and religion youll hate america..there you go ripping on pat robertson because he is religous...you always try and twist the truth...no one is advocating killing iraqis...just like no one was advocting the killing of serbs in kosovo.... if you really want this war averted then you and all your buddies that think like you should be pressuring saddam and not president bush....if the UN had presented a united front against saddam he might have very well stepped down from power...or one of his many general who all have to realize that they will all die in war and have no chance at victory might have found a way to execute saddam...but the UN is sending mixed messages...that will surely lead to war...

i think they got somebody..because normally al qaeda when confronted with that much fire power just gives up and doesnt fight back...they were protecting somebody high up on the food chain in al qaeda...wouldnt it be something if they actually got bin laden himself???..think about it...if they did get bin laden the US sure wouldnt confirm it until they got him out of afghanastan...im pretty sure they got somebody

sorry apu but what they are talking about describes you to a T....you can tell us all how you love america but everything you write pretty much is hate filled towards every value most of us hold dear....why did you even bother posting that link???..maybe it hit too close to home???

Wait wait wait.....if Saddam gets a nuke? WHAT THE f*** ABOUT KIM JONG IL? This guy HAS nuclear capabilities!!!!!!! The Nuremburg Tribunal verdict is all I need to equivicate Bush to the Nazi Reich if he fights a pre-emptive war. No twisting needed. It states that 'crimes against peace' are the worst crimes to be committed and that it condemns pre-emptive warfare. There are peaceful measures. I advocate the usage of these peaceful and diplomatic measures before going in guns blazing & asking questions after the dust clears. Too bad the UN Atomic Energy Commission did an incredibly thorough search of Iraq and found jack s*** of nuclear capabilities. Then again, I guess if they do have them Halliburton (yes, Dick Cheney's Halliburton) sold them pulse generators in 2001. These can detonate nuclear weapons. Let's hear it for US corporations giving them the ability to detonate nukes if Iraq gets them! Woo! But, Baggio, please tell me how you as a veteran can be behind a f***ing chickenhawk who is unapologetically sending other troops to their deaths? crimes against peace??..lmfao...yeah saddam is such a peace loving guy... the world is split on how to handle saddam..some say remove him physically..some say use dimplomatic measures....thats all the world disagrees on UN resolution 1441 ws approved 15-0 by the UN security counsel...it states that saddam must disarm all of his weapons of mass destruction or be removed from power....every single country is on board with this resolution...the only thing we are argueing right now is do we go to war now or give UN weapons inspectors more time before we go to war with saddam...thats it...no country in the world wants to leave saddam in power and especially if he has weapons of mass destruction... you dont like to be called an ass hole but then in the next sentence you call president bush a war monger...that total bulls***...if he was a war monger we would have never went to the UN in the first place...the united states and the world has given saddam 12 years to disarm...12 FRIGGEN YEARS!!..he chose to thumb his nose at the US and the UN... despite your stupid nazi reference there will be no charges of war crimes against the US....when we walk through the republican gaurd and remove saddam and his military from power there will be dancing in the streets of iraq and president bush will have one of the biggest "i told you so's" in the history of the world... youre the one backing a criminal here in saddam... today..hans blix came out at the UN in his message and said that "iraq is not cooperating"....what more do you need???? as for kim jong il....he has nukes already..if we deal with him now we still deal with nukes...but if we wait on saddam we might be dealing with nukes then too....plus north korea is a completely different situation...there are other countries in that region..china and japan who need to take an active role in north korea.. they would love it for the US to take al lthe heat in that one then come in after with the clean up....that shouldnt happen..china and japan need to spearhead the effort against north korea..not the US...

good he shouldn't be goin anywhere every year he has improved. he might be making the all star team this year. he has not improved every year...in fact...he has done the exact opposite every year until the all star break last season...even though he hit a career high 26 homers and had a career high in OBP he had a career low in doubles(26 - thats 8 less than '01) and a career low in RBI and batting average....not to mention last year was by far his worst in base running and he took a big step backwards defensively from '01.. every year he has gotten worse not better...in '00 there were huge debates over who was better ..konerko or lee...we dont have those debates anymore...konerko is a player that has improved every year...carlos has treaded water at best.... in '00 24 - 92 - 301 in '01, 24 - 84 - 269 in '02, 26 - 80 - 264 how can anyone say carlos has improved every year????

anyone hear anything about this????....so people are saying he is complaining about this and that but i cant find anything to confirm it

Raytheon was just on our campus for a job fair. We had a fun time asking them how they could spend $100 million for star wars and have the tests fail horribly every time unless they created the missile they wanted to track. The only way it works is if we make the missile and put a homing device in it. Also, 8 Nobel prize winning scientists and physicists have come out saying that Star Wars is an impossibility and won't work. It is a waste of American money. i dont carehow big a failure star wars was....how many people said prior top 1969 that we would never place a man on the moon???..technology is growing at a pace like never before...all those failures could easily be fixed with some new technology down the road...wouldnt it be great if we could develop a defense system that would render all nukes worthless???..because star wars failed years ago is no reason to give up on the premise

And with that said, I can nearly officially come out and state that Bush is a war criminal and filling the boots of the Nazis if he goes ahead with this war (And yes, I do have the proof to back up the Nazi claim.) But did he have to mention 9/11 so many times? For a country that wasn't even involved with the perps of 9/11, he sure mentioned it a goddamn lot. Can we say "wag the dog"? no you dont have proof..what you have is propaganda twisted to fit your ideals....saddam has not and will not disarm..he remains the most serious threat the the US and israel...once he gets a nuclear weapon he will lob it in the direction of israel...this is not a question of "if" but of "when"..then we will be dragged into a nuclear war... why dont yopu ever ask questions like wasnt doesnt saddam disarm???..why has he killed hundreds of thousands of his own people???...why has he attacked other soveriegn nations???.... why isnt saddam the nazi???

well we need to make sure that doesnt happen then

That is exactly the way I feel about Carlos Lee. I think he is going to be a tremendous hitter. whatever carlos hits he will give it back with poor defensive play and baserunning..thus he will always be overpaid..thats something this franchise will never do...borchard is coming soon..if i was a pitcher and saw a defensive outfield of lee - borchard - maggs i would just save everybody the time and effort and just throw the ball into the gap in LC...carlos and borchard can not ,imo , play in the same outfield together ...thats a disaster looking for a place to happen... an outfield of maggs - rowand - borchards gives you 2 potential gold glovers on the corners (maggs in LF and borchard in rf)...an outfield of lee - borchard and maggs gives you the worst defensive LF in baseball...a RF thats playing out of position in CF and a RF thats average but would make an excellent LF...

this story has now been confirmed by other news agencies..it was a joint pakastani and US military operation...the two sons were named saad and hazma...saad is bin laden's number one son...if he is one of the sons caught then osama can not be far behind...osama's 2 sons that are in the family business so to speak are saad and mohammed....wherever osama goes these two are right with him...if this turns out to be true then osama has to be very close...

"unconfirmed" reports by the AP quote a high pakastani official as saying sons of osama bin laden have been captured in south east afghanastan...if this is true this great news and my guess is arrests would link directly back khalid shiekh mohammed and the data they found with him....we could very well be closing in on osama himself

hey heather..i am so pissed at myself...i completely forgot and missed his speech.,...ive been roaming the news channels getting bits and pieces of it...im hoping i can catch it on cspan later tonight or tomorrow..ill get back to you

i would definately listen to that...what are the orioles offering???.

Umm, maybe I missing the point but isnt Israel our ally? Why would they nuke us just because some terrorist nuked them? And the war against China, like I said, wont happen because China doesnt have foreign military strength like we do and theyd have to cross the Pacific to get here. Everywhere on the planet you will find American military bases and ships and the like but you wont find China with any of that. And I do believe China has a bigger military but does that mean they have a better military? Not at all. First of all, we have foreign military. We can mobilize pretty quick against any country in the world, but can China? No, they cant. And I believe China has mandatory service for most people. So yeah, we could get bigger than them by telling everyone to get off the sofa and go fight but do you really think that giving some lab geek a gun is gonna help us? No. We train our men and women to fight and they know how to fight. Not to mention we have planes and bombs and ships and subs. Just because they have a larger military doesnt mean they have a better military... China is a communist country, right? Cuba is a communist country, right? You don't think Cuba could give us trouble for a time period long enough to get China across the Pacific? Cuba is only like 90 miles away or so....if China were to contact Cuba and get some nuclear weapons there....we'd be in deep s***. It'd be Cold War 2. The only thing that really scares me about going to war is nuclear warfare...that scares the s*** out of me. Japan was devastated after two atom bombs....and if some crazy ass country just decided to come nuke the s*** out of us....we'd be dicked. thats why i think we shouldnt give up on a star wars type technology..and it would be great if could combine it with not only the capabilities to intercept incoming nukes but also a way to render them inoperative...instead of all this disarmorment talk maybe we should concentrate on just making them obsolete???

they could very well be headed down the road we traveled in '01
