You see Liriano keeping it up until the end? Just curious as he is a young guy, rookie etc. gonna be an interesting next few months wonder if there will be some huge blockbuster deal this week before the 31st

Agreed, though it could happen who knows? (not likely) Anyways...whats up with your boys 7-3 in the last 10 with a 3 game streak? Good times in S FLA

Hell, blame the British they are the ones that carved up the Middle East after WWI

Well.....Stat wise (I know you are the stat Junkie) Ryan 24 of 27 save opportunities 1.13 era 61 K's Papelbon 29 of 32 save op's .53 era and 52 K's I gotta go with Paps based on that miniscule era, Ryan has more K's but also more than a half run higher era Anyways..it's a good argument, Ryan IS pretty impressive

You think? He is leading MLB in saves, who do you like better?

Thats possible...I would give it to Ortiz though, to me he's more valuable to the team with the clutch hits and such (though you can argue that Papelbon is also of huge value with the saves)

Mouthbreather!....hillarious, he does have a Papelboner doesn't he?

Nope not at all surprised........

Nice post, I was kind of wondering when someone would mention that Hezbolah has indeed been firing rockets all over Northern Israel..... seems like every post is putting all of this on the U.S. and Israel I wonder what the reaction would be if something similar happened here? Say Mexico or Canada crosses our border, kills a few border gaurds then starts lobbing rockets at us. Wouldn't some kind of retaliation make sense? LoiueB nailed it..."a sickness borne by both sides". NEWSFLASH!!! Jews and Arabs have hated each other since day 1 always have, probably always will. Also kind of funny tha

Very true and a sage point...I'm just wondering that with a team like NY you have a lot of guys that all think they are king shit of turd mountain, what with all the "Yankee Mystique", the giganto salaries, all that NY media attention, they ALL think they are the best, I'm wondering if they don't snub the guy some. Hell Mussina went after him in the papers yesterday for making a throwing error....I'm wondering if slappy is getting a bit worn down.

I'm a huge BoSox fan so this pains me, but 'ol Slappy (A-rod) is obviously a hugely talented player, my thought is regardless of his numbers in the playoffs, etc, etc the guy has never been part of a championship team. Now, is it because the teams he's played on just haven't been good enough, or is it because as have been reports he's not a good clubhouse kind of guy and tends to be a distraction to his team? I don't know, I'm wondering what the prevailing thought is. I say if the Sox had him in '04 they are a different team and they don't win it all

Simply because he's the 25$ million man. I don't care who you play for, when you make that kinda dough the expectation is you will single-handedly win championships. Of course it's an unreal expectation but thats the way it is.

I figured it was that one, I don't really go there much though......I hope we do some damage out west this week, we need to pay back Oakland big time

Which one?

Slappy McBluelips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost choked on my sandwich, that is friggin' great!

Gotta love seein Rivera give up a dinger, walk off no less. Also Mussina kind of ripped into A-Rod for his error last night. I love when the Yankees fight amongst themselves, reminds me of the incident with Reggie Jackson and Billy Martin at Fenway back in 78....which of course turned out to be a horrid year, anyways. A-Rod has 17 errors this season, I believe that leads the Yankees

Gonna get good and baked and watch Apocolypse Now (Redux). I love the additional stuff they put in there

My condolences...... May the saddest day of your future be no worse Than the happiest day of your past

What the frig is going on with Shea Hillenbrand and the Jays? Too funny. He used to play for the BoSox and I don't remember him being a whinny jerk, but apparently he is...anyways Toronto booted his ass. He might not make a bad addition to a team lookin for a DH/Corner infielder...he was batting .301 and is fairly decent defensively...OK maybe adequate

Actually it was privately funded mostly....I think they got some $ from the state but not much....anyways..... The booolcheet is everywhere you go

Thanks Oblivious, I was going to point them to your post yesterday that has a link to all the new stuff. 1,000 thanks to you for posting them. Appreciate it And to everyone else Sorry...In my haste with this I plumb forgot to put a link to the new stuff

You know I left that off only because they have been playing it for quite a while....I was more of the mind that newer meaning since this past spring and summer tour Love Walken though

Yeah, yeah I know.......tough crowd

Vote for your favorite new tune....or Don't

You know it's funny, I used to work for a not for profit (helping mentally ill people) and I swear there was more red-tape bullshit there than anywhere else. It got so bad at one point that I almost beat the shit out of the director of the place. I pointed out that one of our clients (people) didn't look right, was lethargic, etc, etc. I got blown off. Turns out we ended up taking him to the hospital where it was discovered he had suffered a heart attack over the weekend. The woman running the group home where he lived did nothing, the Director did nothing. In the end this guy died. It made me
