OK, so what's your point WTF? That both the minister "in the story" and veepee were wrong in what they did?

don't have any suggestions on what to shoot it with but here in DFW, in the middle of everything allegedly metropolis and suburb, have seen coyotes and bobcats around the edges of the golf courses that are wooded... we just kind of keep an eye on them although the guy I sometimes play with always has a 9mm with him...

hey Mo! I'll see if I can flag down the brakeman!

happening day mi amiga!

I know Fernando V used to look up in the sky before his pitches but I also think there were some vids of him closing his eyes... anyone else remember that? yeah... we won yesterday and are up through 3 today... stRanger fans have to hope for a good spring (even though it doesn't count to the rest of MLB!) in order for us to have any hope for the rest of the year... Rock, are you and the guys going to make it out to Surprise this year? Hiway... just wear a catheter that day! Excie, is Mackie playing in a travelling league this year?

can't believe that no one here knows that song... but here's a whole stanza from later on in the song (the other clue was the first two lines from the song) Everyone I know, everywhere I go People need some reason to believe I don't know about anyone but me If it takes all night, that'll be all right If I can get you to smile before I leave c'mon... I know you can hear it in your head...

If anyone wants to visit here in August we'll do one of the home series... I'm sure there will be plenty of tickets available. If you'd like to preview your experience just move your TV into a DRY sauna that's cranked up pretty high and sit there for three hours while wearing all of your clothes. Just give me a couple of weeks notice so's I can get good seats!

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields

I know what you mean simon... I was thinking the number of 300 game winners has increased since that old Atlanta rotation has aged to this point...! Hiway, we will want pics!

I think I just might take the Cats up on one of their offers... they have a 5 game package for $50... I think I'm gonna get 3 or 4 and we'll have a nice summer... ...speaking of Billy Martin, I liked his autobiography "Number 1" as well...

you bring joy to all of our hearts sweetniKa... thanks for sharing... and after you've rested some more, please share more... I live vicariously through you! :)

sounds like "Let It Bleed"...

Probably the best way I can think of that John Henry has done his thing (as far as I know) is that he lets his GM do his thing and doesn't interfere. There's an independent league team in Ft Worth, The Cats, that is going to get my money this year... nice little ballpark on the northside of town with a lot of history... and the tickets are relatively cheap... (I've said before that I really like minor league ball better)... the stRangers have a AA team in far north Dallas but it doesn't feel like a minor league experience... there was another team that wanted to start up in Grand Prairie, in the independent league as well, that would have been between Dallas and Arlington... but the stRangers flexed their considerable muscle and put made the folks go elsewhere... THE CATS used to be a farm club of the Dodger organization... the link will take you to their site to the history page... just a nice little ballpark (in it's second incarnation) that I used to go to when I was a mere wick of a lad before the D/FW Spurs (minor league) and then stRangers took over the area...

happening day dude! thanks for all of your help!

happening day young lady!

...yeah, but this was one of their "regular" hits as opposed to being one of their "mega" hits!

I'm pretty sure ours are... ...oh... did I mention on top of all that I said before Hicks has AGAIN raised ticket prices.

happening day young lady! ...what color is your hair?

you guys qwitcherbitchin!! you could have a club that draws close to (or over) 3 million a year with an owner that puts a small market payroll on the field... except for once every 5 years when he blows a wad on the wrong player and then decides that if the fans will come out and support the team (which they have) he'll spend some money on some players (which he hasn't)... his motto: "if they come, he will build it"... currently we're in the third year of young Jon Daniels' reign... he's strengthening the system and building from within... this is fine IF Hicks will stay the course and add a player here and there that will make a difference... but we're getting pretty tired of building for '07, then '08 and now '09... ...it's probably our fault though... we keep going to the games...

stRangers reported today as well... I would still highly recommend Why Time Begins on Opening Day and How Life Imitates the World Series by Thomas Boswell. both are very good reads and filled with stories of players from our youth (and beyond, depending on your age)

no... but you could paraphrase it for us... Kimmel's going on right now about how he's never heard the word 'buttocks' used so much...

I think you know what I meant! (where's the smilie with the groucho eyebrows that go up and down?) And... hey! ...that reminds me, did you guys ever go on your road trip to "Heidi's Wonderland"??? ...I don't recall hearing any reports if'n you did...

I didn't read anywhere that it said they couldn't be banned. Only that they could remain anonymous.

I watched the hearings off and on all day... I saved 'em on the DVR incase I want to really see if anything new was said... It was more of both of them saying the same thing which means someone will be joining Barry in the perjury pool... heard there were 8 FBI agents present to "observe" as they're trying to figure out which one is lying... heard that Pettite said in an sworn affidavit for Congress that RC told him he did do HGH... Did anyone else think it ironic or funny that we had a bunch of liars questioning liars today? Anyway... sad as I am to admit it I kind of agree with what Rocker said the other day... that we've got strict testing now and stiff penalties in place so let's just move forward because it's really not doing anyone any good to continue this...

I know what you mean starman! It's in the 60's here today, 70 tomorrow (supposedly) but then we have a few days of 40's and 50's with clouds and rain... I can't wait for spring to get here! (of course, in the dead of summer I'll be wishing for these days!)
