Actually, Sosa was playing the Rays when the cork was found

You've never really been there or seen it, have you? What's not that good about it? The All-Star stadiums go NL/AL, NL in even-numbered years, AL in odd-numbered years. The next four sites after 2004 should be Kauffman (2005), Pac Bell (2006), Edison International or Comerica (2007) and GAB or Phillies Field or maybe San Diego's stadium.

Cincy can have it in 2006, if they can beat PNC Park, Pac Bell Park and the other competitors. 2004 is at Enron Field.

http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33528 "The detainee believed that ... once it was realized that the fires were terrorist acts, U.S. citizens would put pressure on the U.S. government to change its policies," the memo stated, according to The Republic. The last 20 fiendish plots didn't cause people to call for terror-appeasing change, I'm pretty sure that setting forests on fire wouldn't do anything, except maybe increase the call for Homeland Security and the call for 'selectively cutting down parts of the forest to help fight forest fires'. Hey, I guess when you start grilling, they'll start blabbing about anything, real or fake.

Lima wins again. 5-0 and he did some weird 'patty-cake' looking thing with infielder (and fellow Dominican) Carlos Febles

Unless the Royals blow an 8-0 lead, Lima is on his way to a 5-0 record. 7 shirtless men and a woman in a bikini top were spotted at the Ballpark in Arlington with 'LIMA TIME' on their chests. And the Rangers people appear to have ushered them out of the park.

I think the Leafs are too White. Maybe if they could sign some Dominican and Puerto Rican players. Oh.. wait Wrong sport

I just realized this.. Dirk and Steve are the Foo Fighters!

Now, I have two favorite players in the NBA. Nowitzki and Nash.

good point

Sure dude... don't jinx us or anything

I just realized that all this time, I pronouce 'Bratwurst' as 'Brat-hurst' Damnit!

Kansas City Royals' Ken Harvey knocks down Anaheim Angels catcher Bengie Molina while being tagged out at home during the sixth inning at Edison Field in Anaheim, Calif., on Wednesday, July 9, 2003. Harvey was caught trying to steal home. (AP Photo/Chris Carlson) The collision just looked brutal, but both men stayed in the game. And then the Angels fans booed Harvey when he batted later in the game. Oh shut up, it's not like he knocked the ball out of Molina's hands or anything. I'm sure the art of 'big guys charging at the catcher' will be refined.

That Bratwurst does look sinister

http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/07/...7430202367.html Well, heck, Chinese occupation, while pissing off the more nationalistic Koreans, is an interesting idea. We have one big drawback. This would keep two Koreas. The Chinese would just install more sane communists. Maybe North Korea would get some leaders who are less isolationist and a bit like China. While this won't free anybody, it's certainly better to be under Communist Chinese tyranny than North Korean tyranny. Sure, China has no way of really stopping the North Korean armies from going down to South Korea. Unless they start covertly subverting their war plans or something of the sort.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...n_go_pr_wh/bush Man, it must be easier to say "Come on, and try to take us down" when you're not the one in danger. '"Saddam Hussein had a weapons program," Bush said. "Remember he used them — he used chemical weapons on his own people."' (yeah, in 1988. Even then, certain American administrations were more willing to think the Iranians were behind those attacks.) '"We're exploring all options as to how to keep the situation peaceful and stable," he said. "One thing has to happen: Mr. Taylor needs to leave the country. ... In order for there to be peace and stability in Liberia, Charles Taylor needs to leave now."' Don't worry Charles, the last guy he told to leave is still in his country and he's still alive. Somewhere. It's not like Bush is goin to unleash the US military on Liberia too. -- It sure it encouraging that we have Clint Eastwood as the President. "Do yuh feel lucky Saddam? Do yuh?"

but calling it "The Weiner Mobile" would get him sued

Actually, they don't give out names. But you topped the guy who said that a messege was sent when 80,000 watched Nascar and 12,000 watched the Royals on Sunday. That messege? "We find cars going around in circles more exciting than first place baseball"

One of the calls in the 'Feedback in the KC Star' went like this: "Jose Lima is only concerned about reviving his career, not helping the team. Cut him now" Tom, stop calling the Kansas City Star.

First, the reference material the stats source- http://www.statfox.com/mlb/umpirestats/ and the list of Umpire crews- http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...pires_crews.jsp Now to some lists (the Umps with like 2 games are not listed for obvious reasons) The most likely to give a walk: Derryl Cousins, John Hirschbeck, Ed Rapuano, Steve Rippley, Larry Young. The least likely to give a walk: Doug Eddings, Jim Joyce, Tim Welke The most likely to call a strikeout: Phil Cuzzi, Bruce Dreckman, John Hirschbeck, Tim Timmons The least likely to call a strikeout: Gary Cederstrom, Sam Holbrook and Matt Hollowell Welke and Jeff Nelson just happen to be around when the home team wins (16-3 for Welke, 15-4 for Nelson) Holbrook, mentioned as the least likely to call a strikeout, is also the ump who ejected McGwire in August 1998 (source: http://www.strikethree.com/98/08/30/barker.shtml , that truely took balls) and here's a list of games ( http://www.nss.net/mlb/umpdetail.aspx?umpire=141 ) Other umps of note- Hollowell isn't known specifically by name, but he is remembered a bit in KC for doing nothing when the Ligue family attacked Tom Gamboa. (Hollowell was also the ump in the Twins game a few nights ago with the ejections) Randy Marsh shares his name with a cartoon character. So, do any Umps get praise from you, do you just loathe one or two? do you want to fight Laz Diaz?

It didn't help Lima that the Tigers sucked. Lima usually has a very good BB/K ratio (1994-2002 totals: 262 BB/763 K). He did recieve some big asswhuppings in 2002. 11 runs to the As in 2.2 IP (during the As huge winning streak) and 8 runs in 0.2 IP. Lima's BB/K ratio wasn't helped by pitching on the day that the home plate ump was Sam Holbrook. As I will mention in a future post, Holbrook is one of the umps with the lowest average rate of strikeouts per game (for both teams) and there were about 12 walks yesterday. Hey, you don't pick your judge. Although it's never easy to have such a small strikezone.
