Weasel,

when the eyes are centered on your avatar, I get really frightened. It's almost like he's gazing into my soul but I already sold it to someone else who looks just like your avatar.

Whatever you paid for Gates' soul, you got jipped. He sold it long ago, repeatedly.

here's the proof.

btw, I agree with fable on Gates. Look in stores for the new Windows Purgatory OS soon!

Still trying to eliminate your competition for Marge, huh Ned?

I remember that episode. "It's always the one you least expect, isn't it?"

That and "Mmm, sacrilicious..." are two of my classic Simpsons moments.

I, myself, have several favorite simpson's moment, but alas, my opinion is heavily biased. wow three days since anyone's been here. It always seems like I kill the taverns, I'm always the last to leave. Mind you, I kill the taverns, it is sleep who boards them up.

Tavern murderer!

Wakefield had an excellent showing on Sunday vs. the Twins, and Pedro did a hell of a job aswell.

Any thoughts?

It was a good series tyb, even friday's game where the twinkies eked it out.

Can't wait for the series this weekend at the metrodome. going to all three games. Looks like pedro and lowe will pitch this weekend.

They got smoxed by the M's last night and all the bad guys were in the winner's column. Will they ever make up any ground. Kind of sad that a team statistically leading the majors in so many categories in hitting and pitching is in danger of not making the playoffs.

OH well, typical Sox.

btw, BUMP!

Typical sox, indeed

Every year, same old, same old. It seems the new management, new coaches, and new ownership didnt really make any difference, because its the same old luck.

Did you hear? They set a strike date if things cant get negotiated-its August 30th.

A strike will send baseball backwards 15 years. I dont think baseball can afford 2 strikes in 10 years. I think what saved baseball was Mark Maguire and Sammy Sosa in their run for homeruns. That brought the fans back, and has been as popular since, but a strike would make the fans leave again. Nothing good can really come out of this strike. And what in the world do the players want. I mean they say theyre trying their best to accomidate the fans in this situation. Thats BS (not bloodstalker

) because if they truly cared about the fans, then they wouldnt strike at all. Theyve gotten extremely rich through entertainment and a fun game to play. What more do they want?

The players don't want to see a salary cap. Right now the free agency market in baseball is insane. The players are holding all the cards yet continue to tell the owners to 'go fish'.

If they strike I will never watch MLB again. Of course, neither will anyone else because the league will fold. A new league would probably emerge in 2004, and would probably be a world league of sorts; eventually giving the world series its' rightful name.

What baseball needs to realize is that it is no longer america's pasttime. It has been replaced with football. The bulk of today's youthful sports fans will argue that baseball is too slow and is directly related to the short attention spans evident in a majority of folks today. Society today wants the quick fix and football provides that.

Furthermore, if they strike, do you think the owners really care. It's the players who will wind up out of work. How many of today's baseball owners put their team as their top priority or main source of income. Not many, although owning a sports team carries with it quite a bit of prestige and will open many doors of opportunity. However, most of these owners are locked already in other oppotunities. If they should sell off or chapter 11 a team, it won't matter to the owners because they're rooted in so many places.

It's the players who can now have fun working behind a desk making 1/100th of their former salary.

LMAO

Thats just pure evil, it feels like one of those shows which ends with the "to be continued.." message.

Yshania · Post by **Yshania** » Sun Aug 18, 2002 7:00 am

*Grins* I know!

but wouldn't pure evil have been the deletion?

Let us spam this thread until it's doors are finally closed - or disappeared - tomorrow. Maybe we can get it up to 4.5K

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Sun Aug 18, 2002 7:05 am

Well I guess thats the way to go, one final spam run.

*Notices Sleep hovering overhead, remarkably similar to that of a vulture*

I get the feeling that he's waiting for something to happen, but what?

Yshania · Post by **Yshania** » Sun Aug 18, 2002 7:07 am

And why not?

LMAO!

he is very quiet isn't he? I wouldn't be surprised if T' was lurking too

Mr Sleep · Post by **Mr Sleep** » Sun Aug 18, 2002 7:13 am

Quiet or tired? A little of both

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Sun Aug 18, 2002 7:14 am

Best not utter those words.

Last time BS and I had our mini-revolution. "BS for Mod"

crushed by T'

As for Sleep being quiet, is that suppose to be a good thing or a bad thing

EDIT- One can't expect a mod to be tired, he has to be ever vigilant and all that.
