Tom Strange

yeah... that's why we're willing to deal others... and we'll have another for you in a couple of years when you need him! yeah... that's what we're all hoping as well! yeah... I'm sure Santana will do just fine though... I'm willing to take 1/10th of whatever he gets right now! (oh, and thanks for putting that little bug on your sig... got me on that one!) Happy travelling to you hiway, safe journey and tons o' tryptophan...

"The Tracker" is Tom Brown, Jr. HERE'S a link to his school. You can probably find a copy of his autobiography The Tracker around somewhere... it's a great read and has a lot of valuable information for living life.

Nero... just continue to live love that you are... and you are doing a wonderful 'job' of it... some things just take time for all of us... you're doing fine.

I get your point pond... but JAL has no problem posting on the internet (here or anywhere else) when it suits him... I readily admit that's not often, but he has done so when he needed a "mass communication tool" before... ...as have the other members of the CES/STFI board as well as Jeff.

Teagarden is the future and probably needs another season... Laird is 'good to go' and has an exceptional arm... And even if we can get Coco... we'll be happy with Torii as well! ...after all, we've got an extra $7-$8 million for the next three years...

Does "what" mean that there "was no happy ending"? (I believe that's the correct phrase, at least that's what I heard)

funny hiway... funny! A three year deal sounds reasonable given his age... now, if all of the pitchers (and one certain center fielder) will please book their tickets to DFW I'll be happy...

Nice. Very nice. (...and I think I remember that score as well, but I'm old)

starman... you and the NE crowd enjoy this little ride you're on... it's a cyclical, or seems to be.... but you should enjoy it... just try not to gloat too much! the pats are doing something special... keep your fingers crossed. the celtics adding Garnett? ...the smartest thing they (and him) have done in a long time... BoSox we've already talked about... Does anyone even pay attention to the Bruins anymore? Enjoy... while it lasts...

well... now to try and figure out where you are in the pic! I did notice the other day that J0hn and K@ren Ant0z were afflicted with the same condition!

Sorry to just 'cut and paste'... this article from Saturday's Newberg Report: Boras has always been about getting more money for his player (and himself) through Free Agency... it has never mattered to him whether or not the player was 'comfortable and happy' playing for the team he was on... maybe that will change a little now.

scout, way back in the guitar lovers thread early days there was quite a bit of info posted by bluzeman, socks, dmiller, chasu and others to numerous to remember... you could search back there or PM them if they don't see this soon enough for your needs... I don't think they'd mind at all...

New people (both newly out, innies and those from splinter groups) come by here all of the time Jiam... you know that... c'mon.

...always a possibility!

no... "a geometric form" (spelled with a Y)

OK... you stumped us young lady... what's next?

??? No hair? No nose? No mouth? No ears?

number 3 :) (with a Y)

Maybe the encounter wasn't as "rewarding" for Mr. Ham as it appeared... Interestingly enough... I too contracted with the same P.I. that danteh did and this is a pic he provided me from later that same day... ...I think he's mixing a drink... or something!

the guitars I saw in our local Costco were some Asian brand (didn't look to see the country)... don't know what that means, but if after following the advice of the learned brethren & sistern here you figure out what you want... you might want to check your local Craigslist and see if you can find one for sale there... I've always been advised to make my first guitar purchase "a quality used one", in good shape of course... Rick, can he purchase a used 'quality guitar' and then take it into somewhere like Guitar Center (or whatever he has locally) and they'll set it up for him?

O

...well, have you heard that K Rogers has fired Boras? (did you care?) Boras really cost him a big chunk of money a few years ago...

T-Bone, I did that as well during my first year! ...only I didn't think of anything witty to come up with if I died...

I just have four words for you folks: he's just baiting you! (you know who I'm talking about... and it's not the Bumpster in France)

I'm with you... but I'd rather have a selfish "rick with a P" have the record than a cheating "rick with a P"... and just how are they going to measure "the revenue generated"??? They already sell out, they already get great TV ratings... what else are they going to measure? I'm with you (I think), how about provisions that if he doesn't maintain his seasonal offensive production numbers in the post-season, he has to give back money?
