I'm gonna put that on my list

 

love Bryson

I think I've read all of his books except the one about Australia, and the one about walking the Appalachian trail. I've loved all of them.

Kanye West- Late Registration

I am the key to the lock in your house

That keeps your toys in the basement

And if you get too far inside

You'll only see my reflection

It's always best when the light is off

I am the pick in the ice

Do not cry out or hit the alarm

You know we're friends 'til we die

 

And either way you turn

I'll be there

Open up your skull

I'll be there

Climbing up the walls

 

It's always best when the light is off

It's always better on the outside

Fifteen blows to the back of your head

Fifteen blows to your mind

So lock the kids up safe tonight

Shut the eyes in the cupboard

I got the smell of a local man

Who's got the loneliest feeling

 

That either way he turns

I'll be there

Open up your skull

I'll be there

Climbing up the walls

Climbing up the walls

Climbing up the walls

This is the first day of my life

I swear I was born right in the doorway

I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed

They're spreading blankets on the beach

 

Yours is the first face that I saw

I think I was blind before I met you

Now I don

He's the best pitcher ever, with the possible exception of Walter Johnson.

Cy Young played in a completely different era that had pitchers expected to go all nine innings, and even pitch both games of a double header (he did that like 15 times in his career).

But he's the greatest pitcher in MLB history.

He's up there, but he won't look like it this year, I think.

And as for the Jon Garland trade: I wouldn't get him or Wright, as I don't think either of them is as good as their best moments have shown. i think what you are seeing now is about what to expect: League average pitching. Garland will probably average out to about a 4.2 era for the year, so you're looking at decent pitching the rest of the way. If Dye keeps up his torrid pace, you'd really regret the trade though. I'd try to get more for Dye. Try Barry Zito.

Don't really have any great offensive players to put in. Part of the problem.

Did Eddie Johnson see any action in the cup?

Bruce Arena should have tried to light a fire under their asses. Put some offensive guys in and just let them run. We didn't have time to worry about defense.

Goooooooaaaal.

They aren't.

You have no idea Bobo US soccer team is the greatest choke artist out there. Before the World Cup the odds on Ghana winning the WC were 30,000 to 1 and the US team is choking against them, pathetic.

Hey, I was half right with that statement. Italy does not want to lose.

Ozzie's a pretty mediocre manager with an unbelievably good team. Once this become's apparent, he'll be out on his ass pretty quickly.

I think Italy beat's the Czech's because if not, they will most likely play Brazil, and they don't want that.

I think the US will be Ghana, because they are simply the better team with more to lose. That generally leads to a victory.

He should be fined and suspended by the team.

Man, the minute that team is under .500 he is going to get absolutely destroyed by the media. You can say whatever you want when you are winning though.

Somebody should compile a list of all of the hatefilled, idiotic thing's he has said. Didn't he call somebody a "venezualen peice of shit" or something?

That's just Ozzie being Ozzie, right?

On Tuesday to reporters, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen referred to Chicago Sun-Times columnist and Around the Horn contributor Jay Mariotti as a derogatory name for a homosexual.

Angry with a recent column by Mariotti critical of Guillen's handling of recently demoted relief pitcher Sean Tracey and upset with Mariotti with columns of the past, Guillen said to reporters when referring to Mariotti before Tuesday's game with the Cardinals, "What a piece of [expletive] he is, [expletive] fag."

Mariotti was covering the NBA Finals Tuesday night and was not present to hear what Guillen said.

Columnist Greg Couch of the Sun-Times wrote a column Wednesday in response, calling for commissioner Bud Selig to suspend Guillen for his use of a "hurtful homophobic" term.

Before writing the column, Couch asked Guillen for an explanation. Guillen defended his use of the term "fag" by saying this about homosexuals and the use of the word in question: "I don't have anything against those people. In my country, you call someone something like that and it is not the same as it is in this country.''

Guillen said that in his native Venezuela, that word is not a reference to a person's sexuality, but to his courage. He said he was saying that Mariotti is "not man enough to meet me and talk about [things before writing].''

Guillen also told Couch that he has gay friends, attends WNBA games , went to a Madonna concert and plans to go to the Gay Games in Chicago.

"I called that of this man [Mariotti],'' he told Couch. "I'm not trying to hurt anybody [else]."

Scott Reifert, the White Sox's vice president of communications, offered to apologize on behalf of the organization when approached by Couch.

"To anybody who was insulted or hurt by that comment ... as an organization, we'll certainly apologize," Reifert told Couch.

I love the WNBA part and the "I have gay friends" thing. Reminds me of Stephen Colbert and Allen, his black friend.

I'm dead serious, the Marlins might make a serious playoff push if they play anywhere near this level for the rest of the year. I don't think the WC in the NL will need more than 85 wins this year.

Bumpity bump for some bass?

I'm seriously in love with Common's album. Is it all produce by Kanye?

This is pretty good. I'm enjoying how thrown together it all sounds. It's very loose.

def check out 'Like Water For Chocolate', as good as Be is, that record kicks its ass

Alright. I've been on a cd buying binge, and I guess I'll just let it continue.

I'm loving this.

Considering how low the expectations were set for the Marlins this year, I'd imagine the fans would really revel in a .500 season. Do you think Dontrelle is going to be moved, though?

In a word, no.

This team has a semi-realistic, mostly fantasy shot at making the playoffs (6.5 game out with 96 to play) so they won't trade Dontrelle unless it's an absolute can't miss deal (think an MLB ready CF, an MLB ready catcher, and a top level Pitching prospect). Basically, if he's not in a Marlin uniform by season's end he's in a Diamondback or Dodger uniform because those are absolutely the only teams with the prospects to get it done.

Also, I think I called for 73 wins in the last baseball thread, and I'm going to stick with that as the very bottom of our win total.

Unfortunately, the streak ends tonight, because they are facing a strikeout pitcher, and we strikeout alot. Cabrera strikes out at least 10.

my uncle got Emily a PSP and she got that MLB 06 The Show for it.....it is superfantabulousticallyawesome........

 

I am totally not a video game person, but this one is addicting.

That game rules. Of the four games I have for PSP, it's my most played. I'm in the 11th year of a career.

There is a buzz around town about the Marlins (it's way, way, way below the buzz about the Heat, of course, but it's there). This is an exciting team that could be a .500 team this year.
