Re: 2009 Baseball Season

ESPN is reporting the Yankees and Andy Pettitte are close to a 1 year deal. If so, the Yankees have CC/Burnett/CM Wang/Pettitte/Joba as their rotation and Hughes and Aceves and I guess Kennedy waiting in the wings. Have to ask since the vast majority of those who post in this thread are not Yankees ...

Re: Did Texas execute an innocent Man????

Let me preface by saying I am not against the death penalty, but when you apply it you better be d*mn sure you have the right person. I also have no prior background in this case. That said, this paragraph was unclear to me: The Tribune investigated the case in late 2004. As part of its investigatio...

Re: I was there!! Inauguration 2009!

I was at the concert as well, probably about as far back as Melli, but on the other side of the reflecting pool. Politics aside, it was an incredible concert, and yes Garth did rock :D I skipped the inauguration because I didn't want to deal with the crowds. My roommate however was up at 3 am and wa...

Re: Road trip to Biloxi-September 1993

Jack, for the most part that was incredibly well-written! I think the best writing you can do is writing that comes directly out of your life and your heart, and I think you did just that. Just two things I would change: 1) I thought the couple of times you stopped to say "I know what you're th...

Re: Honoring Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr

Dr King was an awesome orator. In high school and college speach classes his speaches were often highlighted by the instructors.

Re: Thank God that the FCC is protecting us!

LB, I understand what you are saying, but I consider Souter currently to be more of a moderate liberal, and don't associate him with Roberts, Thomas, Scalia, and Alito just because he was appointed by a Repubican President. Obviously, he is seen as a mistake in the eyes of many conservatives because...

Re: 2009 Baseball Season

I think the difference between the 08 Tiggers and 09 Yankees is that the Yankees have a better veteran presence that won't let a major meltdown happen. Is it possible the Yankees don't win the division? Absolutely. Is it possible the Yankees miss the play-offs? Definitely. Do they finish as poorly a...

Re: What plans do you have for the Inauguration?

Thinking of going to the free concert on Sunday, provided it warms up a little (I can deal with temps around freezing, but being outside all day when it's 15 degrees is not for me). Don't have tickets to the actual inauguration though, and I think I may just sleep in on Tuesday and watch on tv. They...

Red Sox have signed Kevin Youkilis to a 4 year, $40M contract, and Mark Kotsay to a one year contract today. Despite all the "big name" signings by the Yankees this offseason, the Red Sox have quietly made some very smart moves......... :D Yup. Looking forward to some great pitching battl...

Re: Inauguration Concert Performers...WOW!!

I tend to agree...the economy is in the toilet, we have more people unemployed than we have in years, we have 2 wars going on and they're whooping it up in Washington....doesn't look good. It's reminiscent of AIG getting their bailout and taking their top executives to the spa for a party weekend. ...
