Even if true, he's at least twice her size or more- did he need to choke her, etc?

ESPN had him rated as the #2 RB for the next draft(Of course a million things could happen between now and then), so that punch may have coat him a mil or two. What a stupid thing to do! That said, I was figuring a game or two suspension, not a whole season.

Marsalone, welcome to the board. It seems like you have something to say, so stick around, it gets interesting here.

Excellent stuff!!!

I wish I were as confident as you - we may have put the Rays out of it, but I can hardly count out the Rangers, particularly factoring in remaining schedule (I believe they play more games against below .500 teams) Don't forget that the Rangers have cratered against sub-.500 teams this year. Doesn't necessarily count 'em out, but the Angels seem a lot more catchable than the Sox right now. I think the Rangers close the season against the Angels. What if the Angels have clinched the division and decide to play the scrubs for that series? That could make it verrrrry interesting...

hello Alex, Is this deal above still good? If so, send me a PM and I'll paypal you the $$

Pitt's Italian is classic! southern Italian but not Sicilian!

How about the ruling if a punt hits the screen- IT'S A DO-OVER!!!

Not on the Flight Deck? If you had a really good arm you might be able to hit the flight deck from the venue!

Saw him with KC early 80s at the pier by the Intrepid in NYC- great show!!!

The Yanks completed a sweep of the Chisox today, and here's what Ozzie Guillen had to say: ''Well, we came to New York and visited the new Yankee Stadium. It is a very nice ballpark, and the hotel we stayed at was also very nice,'' manager Ozzie Guillen said. ''That's all I have to say about these last three days.''

If you haven't seen it, the original movie(with Ann Parillaud) is very good.

Got a taker for Song X and Tal Farlow- anybody for Righteous Buddha? They're a funky organ trio(organ, bass, drums). Soory, US only(postage) Righteous Buddha still available, Bitches Brew, Matthew Shipp- get 'em for free, all or one or any combination thereof...

I agree from the stand point of a game of baseball it looks stupid. However, I think there may be some franchises that are so desperate for money where they need it NOW, or closer to now than a few months from now. I don't know any dirty details about the Ray's ownership, but you think of some of the arrogant jerks (such as the Cubs' last owner) along with other rich folk who made seriously awful investments...(Imagine if any in Tampa ownership invested in FL real estate during the bubble?) Like I said, I don't have a clue about TB financial details, just saying such tough times could lead to needing money over trying win to wild card, sad to say. Exhibit one for the financial problems is supposedly the Mets, who are in deep financial doo-doo. I keep hearing that the owner lost 700 million in the Madoff swindle. Panda hit just one out for the Giants, 1-0. There are rumors that the Wilpons will sell the Mets, that they didn't fire Minaya because they didn't want to eat his contract, that the budget for next year will be much lower- that's all possible. The Wilpons did lose a bundle to Made-off.

MLB.com is reporting it as a done deal: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/press_releases/pre...jsp&c_id=tb

Outside of salary it makes no sense for Tampa Bay to do the deal- they're 4 out of the WC.

I might even go whole hog and have two slices!! It's raining like hell so it might be a good day to go there.

Well, I'm back in action! I got a consultant job with a company in the building next door to where I was working and I'll start on Monday or Tuesday. From what I gathered in the interview I stand a good chance of becoming permanent after awhile. So I've had almost two months off at full pay with $$ left from my severance and I'm back to work(for a higher rate of pay, too). I felt so lucky I bought a ticket for Megamillions(325 mil for tonight).

World F----- Champions

I really thought the Yanks might pull that one out. To me it was a curious decision to have Swisher bunt- I don't know the stats but I don't think he's bunted much in his career and he looked quite awkward trying to bunt.

Thanks to the Stone and its no drink policey I was a able to catch a cheap gig ($10)for August. This past Friday I saw a trio of Mary Halvorson, Tom Rainey & Ingrid Laubrock. Good music that at times started reaching to great but never quite got there. Halvorson seemed unsure about where to go in this music or maybe she was having an off night, but her presence was barely felt. Tom Rainey played great, doing free stuff while keeong a pulse. Impressive.

Beckett having a bad outing tonight- 7 runs allowed and it's the 5th inning. As a Yank fan I like it.
