Ralph also mentioned those few in the YAK twig who were NOT involved in adultery. Donna Martindale's name was not among them. She may have had her own healing ministry thing goin' on. ewwww...the thought.... Now I need some of THESE

Ive said a few times this past winter that the hundred year rebuilding program looks like its falling right into place... Im all set for the Cubbies ...to come to Fenway...in October. I'll be lookin forward to it! I had a World Series ring on this week.I wannna see the face on Simon when he gets to try one on... There is nothin quite like it Good to see youse guys

What with the World Series Red Sox, the Super Bowl Patriots, The Bruins playing well against the Canadiens in the playoffs, its hard to keep up with the Celtics---I know they are doing formidably--- Maybe we'll be seeing you in a few weeks

Welcome back bro--Good to see you! I noticed what you were saying during the last series, and was thinking of you when the Sox swept.... Sox are on a rampage winning 10 of the last 11--with kids--that are all good and exciting (Beckett, Lowell, Schilling, Varitek are all DL'ed) I think Ellsbury may be the fastedt human I have ever seen. He stole on a pitchout a few days ago and yesterday stole, slid and was standing back up before the throw got there.. last night after homering twice, dragbunted in a tied game in the eight (no play) --then scored from first on a hit to left...Aye Carumba. Pedroia (all 5'5" of him) had three doubles last night and is up around.370 somewhere 10 come from behinds already--which makes every game exciting. Glad you have some good seats. I was at last nights at Fenway against the Angels and they looked great-- as a little aside earlier I posted the pic of me and the World Series Trophies yeaterday totally by accident (long story) I had a World Series ring on my finger I didnt have my damn camera with me tho stay a while Tom

Im can be bad with keys---so I leave just about everything unlocked--of course I know you cant do that everywhere. just a stowry I went to visit my Father a few years back , he was out and the house was locked, I had to wait around for him. The next time I went to visit there was a big note on the locked front door. in gigantic letters it said I Hid the Key under the mat good thing he locked it! gotta love Papamstar

Im not sure of the special catholic doctrine regarding chair alignment, Im sure there is some (Pontifical Chair Protocal Expert or some such thing right on it And no they probably dont have chairs like that just floating around, Its supposed to be "The Chair Of Peter"(excathedra),they cant just plop him ony old folding chair they have around--well they could--but they keep up the pomp....I just liked THAT STORY because I make church furnishings and the craftsmanship of those two guys seemed like a fun thing to do..Ive sat in some of those Bishops chairs (not the Popes obviously) they are a little uncomfortable (definitely not for watching TV,) Its like being on a throne...awesome if you have bad back..usually with all sorts of ornate goodies ans s**t handcarved all over 'em If I had made it, I would have had our own excathedra write whatever she wanted, her own personal message to Ben on the underside of the real "cathedra".thus she could actually "speak excathedra" ...maybe next time.....anyways Im ramblin Yea but I did note the similarities -especiallly when he was talking with his glasses on..He was very similar When he first landed and I heard them announce the plane as "Shepherd One" it got a little flashbacky for a second

If you havent already Check your PM SteveO

Im in the Berkshires (in Great Barrington as a matter of fact) I know where the leather shop was, but it is long gone now... Ive heard the names, but other than the Newey's have never run into any of the others--they also may be long gone I run into Larry every now an again, he does odd jobs , is in some prophetic church and is quite a character. Phil has been building his own house for about a year, has two boys and is a little league coach. Good Guy. He's a really great barn builder and timberframer (I think I said about ayear or so ago I share a workshop with him) although Im a little ticked at him right now because his broken down forklift has been parked for about a week in front of a door I have to access... were you in GB?

Im sure its just as interesting and intriguing --maybe even more so --with a different backdrop...Id read it--if anyone would write it. Hell --I used to dream about the Twins myself--Tony Oliva, Zoilo Versailles, Bob Allison, Cesar Tovar....and I can still see Killebrew --rounded over at the shoulders and the way he extended his arms behind him as the pitcher went into his windup...they were giants to me --and I may as well have been a million miles away--but I knew when they all were coming to town and what they could do. It would be interesting to hear a midwestern perspective ....I spose if I hunted something could be found from the Cardinals or Reds perspective.. Now you have me wondering about growing up in Minnesota--in some vast space-listening to the radio at night anyway--happy travels (anything good?) I'll keep an eye out for our lost brethren

I havent heard much about Oprahs "Cult" But I did hear about THIS

HMMM Still no Tom-Im joinin you hoping that all is well. his StRangers show up tonight for three games. Manny is in the zone --2 more last night--although part of it is that Mussina isnt the old Mussina anymore.. Hows Joe T looking in Dodgerworld? Ive seen Joe G. 5 times so far and-- Im not being snitty about it --but so far I have to say that Im less than impressed..its still early and it could all change in a heartbeat but even Yank fans are complainin to me about him.... The NYPost seems to be daily calling for Randolphs head (Its the second week of April!!) ..tough crowd.. ...If you have 10 or 15 THIS is apiece of really good writing--change the names , change the teams it could be about anyone...

Not much to do with anything here just thought THIS wouldve been a fun thing to make in the shop

Pope Geo? I can get you one of those funky hats

Better'n I could do

Better'n I could do Sorry posted it twice---mustve been a crumb in my keyboard

Gotta love Joe Friday.. and ..Well... um.... Happy Birthday

TOM! COME JOIN US!!!! as far as Larussa goes----I guess i see it..I suppose you get more men for your 2/3/4 guys to knock in but why not just put them at 3/4/5?.... I just get the feeling that you're going to have 2 runs in, 2 outs, and the bases loaded in the first inning, and instead of a decent shot at a 3 or 4 run inning, your pitcher is coming up and there it goes out the window. I heard someone once come up with the idea of a National League team on the road annoucing their last night's starting pitcher as batting 9th, and pitching. That way, if you had a rally going in the top of the 1st, you could get a good pinch hitter up to hit for a guy who wasn't going to bat anyway, and if you didn't get a rally, you substitute with the guy who everyone knew was the pitcher that day. I'm not sure if you can pinch hit in the top of the 1st for someone who hasn't taken the field yet or if that might be an illegal substitution, but it might come in to play a few times a season and make a difference, with no real downside.. ...just musing... .... yea Im liking the ninth inning HR's---I know there are ups and downs but this is part is a lot of fun and very hopeful time--Jed Lowrie played in his first Major League game and had 3 RBI's --anmother one coming up.... I keep thinking of Manny playing short, which you mentioned seeing him at the Coliseum and it brings me into fits of laughter ...gotta love the guy This new thing Manny does when he just holds the bat out with alittle grin before assuming his stance iis a moment when all good things seem suddenly possible, that woman is gonna call, a job will fall from the sky, I'll feel 20 again... In his own words all he wants to do is come, play the game and go home, Sometimes all I want to do iis Go to the game, watch him hit and go home 4-4, 2outs in the ninth, Manny at the plate grinning-- Really, life doesn't need to be any more complex or profound than that ........................... TOM --MOM BACK!

Whats happenin baseball world? Im startin to have fun over here, two ninth inning wins in a row on HR's, some lights out closing, a nice 4 game winning streak, already a few exciting moments---spring on the way...Im likin it Am I reading the box scores wrong or are some National League teams batting pitchers 8th? Im trying --but can someone explain the logic of that to me?

Help Wanted from Monster.com ( a yank fan sent me this)

I didnt know exactly where to put this--- If you had to make a commercial for a chamber orchestra what would you do? I thought this short commercial captured it well ...

Im wicked psyched ---that was an awesome game last night! despite a 2 hour delay.... Thats the first thing Schilling did when he came to town was take language lessons so he could talk right I also have a feeling the Hank years are going to be a lot of fun-- BTW Hills--I also seem to be missing my World Series Champions T-Shirt, You haven't seen it anywhere have you?

Looks like our old friend Eric Gagne is up to his old tricks but their sticking by him in Milwaukee Brewers manager Ned Yost disagreed with the notion that closer Eric Gagne has less margin for error than earlier in his career, when he threw his fastball in the high 90s. Now topping out at 94 mph, Gagne has blown two of three save opportunities by surrendering tying homers in the ninth, including one by Cincinnati's Corey Patterson on Tuesday. "He used to throw very, very hard. Now he throws very hard," said Yost. "His stuff is still closer stuff. "Yeah, he used to throw 97, 98 (mph). His fastball is 94 (mph) now. He's got a nice breaking ball and a nice changeup. It has nothing to do with his stuff." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel I could be wrong (well I probably am...) but I still think he is either tipping his pitches or his fastball just has no movement anymore

BUMP This needs to stay at the top can someone with power Pin this thread? Best to you Raf, your sister and the continued efforts to find a cure for this disease
