No link, that's why I was inquiring here.... How do Dems not pay taxes? ed. Oh, that one guy....

Clemens' DNA found on McNamee syringes: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3880712

I asked a day or two ago what the deal is on him. I had heard rumor that he had mob connections and wanted to know if this is a complete falsehood or has a glint of truth to it. He's also ill-equipped for the job, from what I gather. Any word on that, too?

So nobody knows anything about the Transportation Sect'y appointee from Ill.?

Scalpers have no right to making a profit on someone else's ticket, though. It's an ethical thing more than anything for me. Supply and demand works just fine within the confines of the law.

LAD's third offer to Manny: 1 yr./$25 MM: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/9169180...Manny-new-offer

Anyone else catch this updated article on Selig's pay/compensation from a year ago? Over $18 million: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3878964

Even if he's healthy there's no room for him now.....

Perez deal. It's a lot for a very mediocre pitcher, imo: http://www.nypost.com/seven/02022009/sport...erez_153238.htm Where will Pedro go?

Mets close to signing Oliver Perez. Supposedly 3 yrs/$36 MM. Yeesh.

Either take her as a "surprise" or just get a ticket for yourself. She'll understand if you slip her some money to go shop for a few hours while you hit the show.

This place in Bailey is actually pretty decent, besides being an affirmed "roadside attraction" : http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/1532. If in Denver, hit Pete's Kitchen on Colfax. It's a local legend and has been around for ages: http://www.petesrestaurantstoo.com/petesKitchen.html Check out the "Sleeper House" when passing along 1-70 west of Denver at Genessee Pass: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/real...4775779,00.html. Do not miss a stop in to Red Rocks Ampitheatre in Morrison (it's open to the public when no shows are going on). It's a great little hike and a must-see. If

What's the scoop with the Transportation Secretary appointee. Is he just clueless or does he have some mob backing?

I think Bruce's prices are more in the average range for acts of his caliber and the Dead tix are over-priced (though they seem to be selling well so in reality I guess they are not overpriced). The best way to eradicate scalpers is to not support them. However, waaaay too many people support them. Mail-order only is one way to help cut down on the scalpers, though. And yes, Ticketmaster blows, as do all the various off-shoots. It's a convenience that plenty of people choose to use, though, and they'll only continue to take larger and larger cuts.

These tickets are cheaper than the Dead tickets. By a good chunk, too.

He's a role model whether he likes it or not.

He's a superhero in my book if he can blow tubes and still retain an Olympic swimmer's lung capacity. Pot's the gateway drug to athletics, they say.

Which reminds me:Charlie Miller has a few down-loadable aud. re-mixes that are really quite good (as would anything musically be with his name attached to it). I was unaware that he went that route (outside of the sbds/matrix stuff) until a few days ago poking around on there. I dl'ed 4-5 shows of his and they're all excellent aud. quality.

I agree. I wonder how much of an influence Boras had in that. Apparently they thought there'd be more of a market for him and couldn't read the writing on the wall soon enough.

Cheers, A-man. Hope you get some big sound all year....

Yeah, probably the end of his prime. He still served plenty of value defensively the past couple of seasons but he's a back-up part time guy now and he and Boras don't think that's the case, apparently.

'Tek was very mighty in his prime and served the team very well in how he handled pitchers and back-stopped. He's snearing at the offer and BOS is best to move on to Salty, etc.

I always thought it was George Harrison.

Cheers, Basil!
