Did anyone (besides me) see the "making of" thing on PBS a little while back? (I think it was on PBS)... it was pretty fascinating deal all about leading up to performing it live in London... picking out the band members, all the things Brian was going through, etc... like I said, fascinating (at least to me)... It culminated with the live performance with McCartney and others in the audience... it was touching (to me) and looked to be very healing to him...

That Thing You Do are you still cheating and copying these from that site?

c'mon Raf... yer up! what's the hold up? (and don't tell us you're busy working)

he would've never gone to a twig OM...!

The Way Bee Gees... the Bee Gees went to twig?

TRAXX? That was some kind of SciFi movie wasn't it? (or was it about a junkie?)

Harrelson! ...yeah, I knew that... must be the old age... it was too bad about Tony C though... I vaguely remember when it happened... that was back in the time that we only got sports with the news at night or on the weekend through Wide World or the game of the week with (gone by then) Pee Wee Reese and Dizzy Dean...

I don't remember the heckler (in person)...but I've seen him on TV... it was about 10 years ago that I was there... And that was a bummer about TC, "The Hawk" right? Oh, and the team is pretty 'united'... united against the FO...! All of the fans love them, but the way Hicks' organizations work, they'll work a trade or let a guy go without trying too hard to keep them, all the while subtly slamming them in the media... they almost did it again with Modano... the fear around here is that they're going to do it with Teixeira if they can't get him extended before he goes free... he's a Boras guy... At least we don't have any Rosenhaus players anywhere... but I do wish we were in the NL West....

that's funny OE... my limb leader and his wife thought 'Slow Train Coming' was the greatest thing since sliced bread...

The Fish that Saved Montreal?

The BOB is a great place to see a game (even without binoculars to keep an eye on right-center)... I couldn't finish the game I went to at the Trop... and I'm always there for the whole game...

Raf... are these new clues? Is it "Jesus Loves Hockey" ?

glad you didn't! :D-->

yeah... that worked real good...

At least not in that mausoleum they call the Trop... I'll make you a very good case for a retractable roof here in Arlington... if they'd do that, attendance would go up a million a year minimum... That's funny about Pinella, I think I remember him doing that here when they were in town after the break...

well then hiway... talk about it! don't just complain about it! those are the two teams that Mstar and I root for and since we're the only ones posting it probably doesn't surprise you that those teams would dominate the conversation... How about those Devil Rays??? Got any thoughts on them?

karmic, it's not "posting" you find a pic on the web, copy the properties, click on the green and white thing up there (in the post box, secont from right), paste it into where it says URL and click OK.

dude! you don't have the deluxe version do you??? bummer man... bummer...

Harvey Keitel U-571 Bill Paxton

Look at this from "the Newberg Report" (an email that comes out each day about the stRangers and their farm system:(-->quotes from the 'core' players in bold)

yeah... when you think about it we've had a pretty solid "ready for it" lineup in the field here for a few seasons... and they're mostly a product of Doug Melvin's work... but Hicks axed him and then got in bed with Boras and hired John Hart... we acquired a couple of good players when we had Grady Fuson here (was asst GM head of scouting for Oakland), but then Hicks ticked him off and didn't promote him as promised... almost EVERYONE (fans) dislikes Hicks and wishes he'd get out of the game... but then, he's such a vascillating person, who knows??? The players are starting to bi tch about the FO IN THE PAPERS now... that's not good...

well... OK then... when you come around for your next snow cone and you're weeping uncontrollably because all of your PTs are gone... I'll understand and give you a shoulder to cry on...

Belle, maybe click and drag over them, copy them and paste them into Word...?

nah... they can go on a seven game win streak now... and it still probably won't hold up... I don't know what the fix is because most all of our starting pitchers show flashes of real brilliance, great stuff... so I think it must be a mental thing that they aren't disciplined enough to focus focus focus and continually bear down... I think that's one of the keys to Clemens' longevity, he gets the physical to the point where he doesn't even have to think about it and his total focus is the mental side of it... Maddox too I think... and to your question, yes, they always do it.. they'll probably play pretty strong from now on, now that the pressure's off... strong first third, collapse in the middle, strong finish...

well... I gotta leave you to guess cuz I have an appointment to chat with some babes! Here's a pic of Jon Heder (the title character) looks more like Mike Modano...
