Tom Strange

he's wasn't too good in that first start on the road... then he had a quality start here... we're OK with him (looking to the future)... Edinson Volquez is doing splendid in AAA for us... he was brought up to the big club last year too early and it was feared that he'd be damaged but they sent him back to AA this year and he's progressed well... hasn't given up any home runs and has a decent ERA with an impressive SO to BB ratio... we'll see... we've got a lot of hope for the future with the trades they worked at the deadline... (that's all we've got unfortunately) and don't count your chickens before they're hatched... if Gagne keeps this up you may not get two picks! there was talk around here that he and Daniels have a deal for him to come back next year... we'll see, he's got the baseball antichrist for an agent...

sorry for being late with this post... but regarding Gagne... all I have to say is

OOOH!!!!

(GSG, your woman Catherine Bell was on Kimmel last night)

I agree with you on the Glavine deal... imagine that rotation for "your" team: Glavine, Maddux and Smoltz. ...and they say the Atlanta fans don't really appreciate all of the good baseball they've been seeing all of these years ...we'd give anything for just a taste of what they have.

1) I don't know that I can agree with "then salvation would be of works"... because (using that logic) you'd be "working" to confess and believe... 2) I don't know that you can honestly say that either, you can say that you believe that, but then I'd tell you that there's just as much a chance that my thoughts on that are just as valid (yes, I'm "some posters")

I don't know Bump... do you have to go back to square one? me too... I'll bring the Shiner... I know where the store is!

I'm not certain, but I think LORDSHIP requires more than a passing moment... but that just me (too) :)

Please allow me to flog this equine beast for a moment... IF being born again depends upon Romans 10:9.10... then have you REALLY believed (action?), made, accepted Jesus as Lord in your life IF YOUR LIFE IS STILL (in reality) RULED BY THE 'LUST OF THE FLESH'??? Just wondering...

A lot of folks use the padding and plates... I'm not gonna go too crazy about what some illustrator says is his theory... has he had the thing broken down and analyzed by an engineer? ...it's the 'roids and his natural ability...

Do we REALLY KNOW that that is a true statement? REALLY? I think it's just speculation...

My favorite as well GSG... although I do like "Sleeper" and "Bananas" as well...

ummm... Wilt didn't drug and rape them...

Happening Day to YOU!

Suda... are you trying to put WW out of a job? :)

Bumpy! you better be careful there... not all will get "where you're coming from"... BTW, where are you coming from? ...which hemisphere are you in this week?

It's nice that you've found something that works for you anotherDan... really... and your posts are well constructed and well thought out... they're very reminicent of the structure and type that we learned in residence in "Christian Motivational Techniques"... (which (IMO) had very little to do with 'Christian')... I certainly wouldn't take you to task for having your own opinions on all of this but I do have a problem with all of your inference and innuendo of where folks are coming from or what spirit they might be influenced by... I suppose that I could take your posts and point that out one by one but that would take a lot more time because there's so much... anyway, they are very slick posts, I'll give my two cents worth on just this one point though... I think it will. There are folks who come here who have spent years and years in "the TWI mindset" (whether they're in or out), folks who live in a dreamworld constructed and built by TWI that have no idea that this stuff went on. I think if TWI spent 50 years "branding" peoples minds and hearts we can spend a few lines of bandwidth exposing what went on in the dark underbelly of TWI that many never knew existed. Sure... none of us are without fault(s) and sin(s)... but then none of us set up an entire ministry to feed our lusts... (at least I don't think so) ...and I think that's a big difference between us and veepee...

Yep... DANGIT!

Happening Day to you Dude!

I just take showers...

White Dove, you deny that these events took place. Go ahead and twist it around any way you want... it still all comes back to that. Again: Do you believe in God? Where's your proof? The type of proof you're asking for here, from these folks... Where is it? hmmm...

Allow me to use your own argument against you White Dove: Do you believe in God? Where's your proof? The type of proof you're asking for here, from these folks... Where is it?

White Dove, my eyes are working just fine. You refuse to believe that these things happened. (and if you think that little of your sister, that's very sad) Here are a couple of definitions of "DENY" (the two that describe your behavior): 2. to refuse to agree or accede to 5. to refuse to recognize or acknowledge; disown; disavow; repudiate Here are some definitions of "DENIAL" (the ones that apply to you): 1. an assertion that something said, believed, alleged, etc., is false 3. disbelief in the existence or reality of a thing. 4. the refusal to satisfy a claim, request, desire, etc., or the refusal of a person making it. 5. refusal to recognize or acknowledge; a disowning or disavowal 6. Law. refusal to acknowledge the validity of a claim, suit, or the like; a plea that denies allegations of fact in an adversary's plea 8. Psychology. an unconscious defense mechanism used to reduce anxiety by denying thoughts, feelings, or facts that are consciously intolerable. Definitions from dictionary.com Now, back to my question: Current TWI leadership does not deny that these things happened. Why do you?

White Dove. I only "know" you from your posts. That's the White Dove I speak to. That's the White Dove that continues to deny. Use the big fonts, use the different colors... it doesn't change the fact that you deny what these folks have been through and what harm veepee and TWI have done. You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine... I just thought I'd point out to you (in that post) that current TWI leadership doesn't deny that these things happened and then ask you "why do you?"...

Nice signature T-Bone... had it long? hey folks, read T-Bone's signature...
