I was amazed there for a minute -- "Wow, he can run the ball like that AND sing! :lol:"

Cairo and Eckstein is almost equal. Cairo's #s last 3 years acc. to ESPN V.S. Lefties: .294 avg .333 OB% .763 OPS

Toshiro Mifune Rocks!!! THE Asskicker of Japanese cinema. And Kip -- I've only seen Audition by him. A friend of mine who is majoring in film studies had to do a unit on Miike and said his stuff was interesting but intensely graphic.

He's been warned lots of times to not be confrontational and change. He has not changed and punishment was taken for such actions.

As I see it, he's had plenty of occassions where he was reprimanded by moderators and admins to stop being confrontational and stop pushing peoples' buttons just to piss people off. He didn't stop and is facing the consequences.

Miike is one f***ed up director. The gore that he uses in his films is mindboggling.

Have you see "The Killer"? (1989)? f***ing awesome Hong Kong film.

Zevon = He is such a great songwriter and that last album was just absolutely amazing.

It's 2 yr. $8 mil. According to Rotoworld, he makes $3.5 this upcoming season and $4.5 the second season plus incentives.

That was a beautiful game to watch.

Miller may have the same risks but we would have had to offer him more than the DEFENDING WORLD CHAMPIONS. And Miller has a frayed rotator cuff -- I'd rather have Duque with a glowing medical report than damaged goods in Miller. And let me guess -- if we signed Miller and his arm blew out right at the start of the season then you'd b**** about not having a 5th starter and another year of the roulette wheel of 5th starters. And with 3 question marks in the rotation, riddle me this... HOW WOULD MILLER NOT BE A QUESTION MARK? Until you can answer that, have a nice cold cup of shut the f*** up and quit whining.

Hell's Bells, all you do is whine. Jeebus H. Motherf***ing Christpunchers -- First it's "I'd trade Lee for Podsednik!" followed by b****ing him out for trading Lee for Podsednik. Then you're all about signing a 5th starter. We sign a cheap 5th starter with a glowing medical report and you b**** again. I'm sorry if this reflects bad on me as a mod, but I am sick of your whiny bulls*** that provides nothing of value.

Yep. No matter what the take on the El Duque trade -- at least we won't have to see Grilli for a while and that's something we can all rejoice in.

Here. Looks like you need one, Anthrax. The reason Miller went to the BoSox is because they are the DEFENDING WORLD CHAMPIONS and wanting to be on a winning team that competes often is quite an influence compared to possibly winning the division.

Hahaha, that movie was so hilarious. "I'm getting the McStomach Ache"

I'd be pissed about Jesus and Moses cuz they may pull a Shawn Green and sit out an important game with playoff implications all because it's on Yom Kippur.

Hey now -- they got that gamebreaker catcher Henry Blanco via free agency to catch Maddux's games.

Actually he's just proving you're nothing but a whiner no matter what move KW makes at all.

Pee Hands Alou is off the market -- 2 yr. $13+ mil contract with the Giants reportedly.

Can never ever have too much pitching...ever. I'm fine with this signing because it's better than the

Yeah, the giant ass pics in peoples' profiles tick me off a little bit. The quote is from Pat Buchanan's book "A Republic, Not an Empire" which is a really good read so far (I'm about 1/3 of the way through it right now). The resources lacking will be actual manpower to get involved in all sorts of European adventures. Buchanan makes a strong case for the unsustainability of neo-imperial foreign policy that is being promoted. Now, as for the trade -- I can't wait to have 5 starters that we know who is gonna start in each game instead of the roulette wheel.

Technically Saddam is running in the election and some members of the opposition to the US have registered to run in the election so there could be insurgants in the new Iraqi government.
