How can you tell when Ozzy's trying?

Texas has one of the best hitting lineups in the game. He's not doing it by himself.

Like anything involving the Osbornes; I have to question if this was completley legit.

Hopefully his one way ticket to hell will be hear soon.

SI.Com MIAMI (AP) -- Florida Marlins left-hander Mark Redman says there's a perception problem involving umpire Jim Wolf because his brother is Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Randy Wolf. The Marlins and Phillies are battling for the National League wild-card lead. Jim Wolf, a Triple-A umpire who fills in for vacationing major-league umps, worked the Marlins-Dodgers series this week, and Redman questioned three of his calls in Florida's 6-4 loss Thursday. Redman stopped short of saying Wolf allowed his family connection to influence calls, but said, "I guarantee that crosses every player's mind." "You hope he doesn't do that," Redman said. "It crosses people's minds, but he's a professional." Wolf declined to comment, but crew chief Larry Young defended his colleague. Young noted the Haller brothers -- umpire Bill and catcher Tom -- were also in the NL together in the 1960s and 70s. "[Wolf] doesn't perceive it to be a problem, and I do not, either," Young said. "He could care less about the pennant race." TV replays showed Wolf blew a call Thursday when he ruled Jeromy Burnitz safe on an infield hit. Redman complained, and as he walked off the field at the end of the inning he shouted at Wolf. "I told him, `You're better than that,"' Redman said. "I don't think he liked it too much." I've never seen highlights of the game. Did Wolf do a bad job.

I don't think the movie has to make 100 million for a Freddy vs Jason vs Ash movie to be made. The two franchises weren't making alot of money and they still made Freddy vs Jason.

Harrick has cheated at 3 different schools. There's a limit even in college coaches. Neuheisel's commited recruiting violations, but what got him fired techinically was allowed. He also lied about interviewing for the San Fran. job. The issue of trust should come into play. It won't though.

4 years probation (no post season play), loss of scholarships for like 8 years, and less recruiting visits for 6 years. That's only going by what I know about the allegations.

No Yes Yes Yes No The only ones who might deserve another chance are Price, and Eustachy. If they can clean up their acts they probably deserve another shot. The other 3 are crooks and shouldn't be allowed back into coaching. However Neuheisel will be the first one to get hired.

So any player with good starting pitching should be eliminated from the MVP race? I don't care if he's twice the player Ichiro is. Ichiro fits the criteria the voters look for in MVP canidates. A player who puts up good numbers, and the most valuable to a winning team. I still don't understand how A-Rod is valuable. It's not the award for best player, or best hitter. If your team is 10 games under, I fail to see how valuable you really are.

Well Davis announced Holcomb is the starter.

I agree with the clean cut look the Yankees have. It establishes a professional approach to the game, and rules players have to follow.

That's such a load of b.s. that Ichiro isn't winning it on his own merits. Likely another batting title, over 220 hits, 40 steals, gold glove defense. Ichiro doesn't have the great slugging % or OPS because he's a lead off hitter, he gets on base and is the best player in the league at getting himself into scoring position. Making it easier for the other batters to drive him in.

Run and hide Italian Sausage The Cubs needed a left handed bat. Know they need to send Choi to the minors. He looks lost at the plate.

I like Ichiro for AL MVP. He's the catalyst for the Mariners and he makes the offense run.

John Ashcroft is the nations Vice Principal. Message to Arnold That character Rob Lowe played on the West Wing is a fictional character. He's not really like that.

Thank you.

I say with Andy. Conan's still funny. With Andy it was more consistent.The staring contest, the drives, the word association skits, the year 2000 where skits that where funnier when Andy was on. The had great chemistry and seemed like two friends talking, while millions watched on tv.

I'd imagine Smoltz.

74 years old.

Good pickup for the Mavericks. It doesn't necessarily solve the need of a rebounder, but getting a player like Jamison won't hurt anything. Wonder why this trade was made?

Hanks is funny on Bosom Budddies. You can see the comedic talent Hanks brought to a very mediocre show.

What kind of numbers to you expect the movie to bring in this weekend?

Juwan Howard isn't a bad signing. The problem though Drew Gooden plays a similar position. If one of those two or someone else can step up has a good 2nd scorer behind McGrady; they can make it out of the first round.

I asked a stupid question.It was a misinformed question to ask. My knowledge of the French not taking baths and showers as frequently comes from my cousin who was there 12 years ago. Like me or hate me. Please believe me it was a stupid mistake on my part.
