thanks, orkie! i do quite enjoy this album.

that was pretty damn cool!

you can be aggravated with manny's negotiation strategy without opposing high-end salaries.

the tennessee aquarium was as exciting for me as wading in the creek near my house. the only other one i have visited was the Oceanographic Museum & Aquarium in Monaco, which was amazing.

happy birthday!!

i thought he was talking about rolling stone's ink-stained bollocks.

yay!!

it cannot hurt. c.c. looks as if he has added 25 pounds of pure lard this offseason.

i liked it. here it is. http://www.myspace.com/badplus

thanks, Orkie!

i watched that last night. good stuff.

if i may indulge in some self-criticism, the song sounds good but is pretty boring until the last 90 seconds. i wish i had tried harder.

thanks.

5. both discs are great. no bad choice on list (imo)

big papi is buff. has his wrist fully healed?

not sure how that relates to his (allegedly) developing aids even if true.

i too love david price who should still count as a rookie. need to check out wieters.

anyone have suggestions for roy candidates?

(imo) steroids more than any other form of cheating (in baseball) because it skewed the records and stats i grew up with to such a large degree. watching sosa hit his 60th wasn't that great a feeling for me despite being at the game b/c it was obvious what was going on. i did not have the same feeling when gaylord perry pitched. or when brett used too much pine tar. or when all of mlb was on speed. in theory, cheating is cheating. steroids stands out to me is b/c it allowed ordinary ballplayers to achieve superstar status (even if briefly, aaron boone) or superstars to shatter

thanks, Orkie. how did you like the marching band?

a rod is an asshole who lacks any sincerity or respect for the game. his interview underscored that.

one thing is clear from the espn interview: A Rod has a tremendous amount of respect for the game.

i am all for tricking people into revealing how big of a cheater they are and then releasing the results.
