Totally off topic reply here... 1st of all, awesome Karl Pilkington quote for you signature line. What's the picture?

That list is pretty lame.

I got this article in an e-mail today. Went through the Times' Web Site to verify it's legit. Emphasis added by me.

Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely

With my Twins out, I don't know who to root for... Cubs... 1908-2008, c'mon who doesn't like the symmetry?? Dodgers... ManRam and Torre reborn! Phillies... Never liked 'em, so they're out. Brewers... Hate what Selig tried to do to the Twins, but like Fielder A LOT! I power hitter who's a vegetarian?? White Sox... They've got AJ, Guillen, Griffey, Thome, Dye and I respect them for beating the Twins Angels... Torii, plus I love Vlad Red Sox... As a Yankee hater, gotta love the BoSox. Plus, Ortiz is a former Twin Rays... Gotta root for an underdog. I guess I want the Cubs for the NL and

I must say, this is my first listen. It is phenomenal!

Ouch, didn't need to see those images reversed.

Congratulations from a saddened Twins fan. Sox deserve it.

Thanks for posting. If I could have any celebrity eulogize me, it'd be Dave.

Walking to bring up Pierzynski. He will want to smack the tar off that ball against his former team. Most hated guy in baseball, but I still love him, even in a Sox jersey! Did you see him firing up the crowd after Thome's home run?

McCain May Not Survive Second Term The put the odds at 1 to 4 he won't survive. I'm surprised it's not 1 to 4 he will!

Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha

I love the Wilco albums with Bennett. I've only heard snippets of what he's done since, and it didn't do anything for me. I have nothing against the guy. I thought he came off as a tool in IATTBYH, but lots of great artists are tools, and that movie clearly had a point of view in favor of Tweedy. I love the scene in Man in the Sand when Bennett jokes about a feud between Bragg & Tweedy, almost foreshadowing.

Probably right, home field is huge. Love the Jules, Love the Twins more, sorry.

Costello's "Tramp the Dirt Down" may be the most visceral hate aimed at a single politician (Margaret Thatcher) in song.

I got your point. I don't know which team faces the most pressure, the Sox playing their 3rd must-win in a row, or the Twins trying to beat them for the 4th straight time, this time in Chicago. Home field advantage definitely for the White Sox.

Ummm... I always liked the Killer Bees bit. (Trying to get back on topic.)

When and where is the Detroit / White Sox game tomorrow? Go Tigers!

I'd like you to define anti-Christian and/or give some specific examples, especially from teachers. I am a social studies teacher, so we focus on religion a lot. 99% of the time, my students and parents are open and appreciative about studying comparative religions. There have been exceptions. My favorite was when a parent called my principal furious because I explained that most historians now estimate the birth of Jesus (I know, I know, if it happened at all) at about 6 B.C. How dare I question what the Bible says about when Jesus was born! Ummm... the Bible doesn't really say a year.

I'm new here, didn't know Natalie, but I am very touched by the way all of you knew her have shared your memories and your mourning. Peace to all of you.

Do either the Twins or the White Sox want the playoffs? Sure can't tell last 2 days. I blamed last night's Twins loss on coming off the emotional high of the White Sox sweep / hangovers from celebrating. But today? Jeez!
