I may have to delete my cookies so that I can get a few more ballots into the box

KEEP STUFFING THE ALL STAR BALLOT BOX!!!

a little thing called the Constitution.... who decides if something is indisputable if not the trial procedure in the judicial system? An initial plea of not guilty is very standard and means nothing. Now the plea is entered, the states atttorney and defense attorney do their thing and figure out what in fact the accused will plead guilty to and what the sentence will be - the defense attorney is doing her/his job - in a high profile case everyone is going to stake out some ground - any one here who was ever charged with a crime, you'd want your attorney to do everything for you - I doubt it will have any impact in this case - but the attorney is just doing what the attorney is supposed to do and what you'd want done for you if it were your ass being acccused - and when they have come to agreement a new plea will be entered, sentence imposed, and no trial - but everyone is entitled to a trial, everyone - it is a cost of freedom. I know, I know, just call it my rant for the day. It is just the possibility that this chump could walk on a technicality boils my blood (just like the Rodney King trial)

Yeah and I want my $20! OR double or nothing on who it is...

Who cares, let him go.

Did I miss something? Do the laws not apply as long as you regret doing something stupid or if you have 5 different drugs in your system when you do it? I hate the fact that the crime is 100% indisputable, yet my tax dollars are putting this guy through a trial :fyou Dybas

I'll remember you when I bring my change in on that Saturday. "May I help you?" "No, I am waiting for Alex" :finger

Probably cuz you always pick the Manhole and he is sick of it!

Let me handle this Ugly. F you PA. :fyou

I hope they throw the book at this guy. Hard.

It is called married and that is what the wife wants to watch. If I am ever going to see another ball game again, she gets to watch Idol. Are you off today? Or did you pirate the net again?

Yeah I couldn't believe he forgot the words to "Vincent" last night. I think it is a crock if he doesn't get voted off.

I know me personally, no matter what I think personally of a player, I will rip on them for making dumb mistakes. For whatever reason, D'Angelo seems to have taken the torch from Carlos this year.

The difference is this guy has never been close to this good. Everyone has taked about his fast starts, but here are his #'s for his first 8 starts from 01-03 2001- 4-3 4.71 era 2002- 3-4 4.44 era 2003- 7-1 2.05 era I think that something has been fixed.

Yeah, since I can't figure out who to bribe, I might as well take in an eclipse

Remember you can only pick the same player twice in one week (Monday-Sunday) Are you sure that is who you want to pick?

Accusations flew across state lines as Texas House members remained holed up in an Oklahoma motel Wednesday, trading barbs with Republicans at home over their rebel effort to stymie GOP redistricting plans. The 51 Democrats were in a Holiday Inn at Ardmore, Okla., safely out of the legal reach of Texas state troopers and effectively denying the House the quorum required for it to conduct business. "Democrats should end their childish game of hide-and-seek and get to work for the people who hired them," said Susan Weddington, chairwoman of the state Republican Party. But Democratic Rep. Garnet Coleman countered: "The issue is: Is democracy going to win over excessive political greed? The only way that we can make sure that it does is to stand up." Democrats blame the standoff on the GOP's attempt to redraw the state's U.S. congressional districts, a process dictated every 10 years to reflect population shifts found in the U.S. Census. Texas already has a court-drawn redistricting map, but Republicans say it doesn't reflect state voting trends and want to redo it. Their plan could add five to seven GOP House seats to the 15 the Republicans already have. From their Oklahoma hotel, the Democrats blamed U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay for the shutdown of the Texas House of Representatives. "We have a message for Tom DeLay: Don't mess with Texas," said House Democratic Legislative Caucus leader Jim Dunnam. "We did not choose the path that led us to Ardmore, Okla. Tom DeLay chose that path." In Washington, DeLay mocked the Democratic legislators. "I have never turned tail and run," DeLay said. "Even when I'm losing, I stand and fight for what I believe." Three Democrats returned to the Capitol on Tuesday but Republicans were still denied a quorum without at least 100 of the 150 members present. Four other Democrats remained unaccounted for. When 58 of the 62 Democrats didn't show up Monday in Austin, House Speaker Tom Craddick ordered Texas troopers to arrest the missing lawmakers and bring them back. House rules allow for the arrest of members who intentionally thwart a quorum. Texas troopers located the missing legislators but have no authority to make arrests outside Texas. Oklahoma law enforcement authorities, on the other hand, greeted the Democrats with big smiles and warm handshakes Tuesday. "We're here to let them know we support them," said Harvey Burkhart, sheriff of Carter County, Okla. "Nothing's going to happen to them here. I can tell you we're certainly not going to put them in jail." Back in the Lone Star State, where legislative business was brought to a halt for a second day because of the rebels, House Republicans and a few Democrats spent most of the day milling about the Capitol. The House was to reconvene later Wednesday. Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Tom Craddick — all Republicans — appeared before reporters Wednesday after a weekly breakfast meeting and pleaded with the Democrats to return to Austin. "We want our colleagues back," Dewhurst said. The lieutenant governor, who presides over the Senate, said lawmakers are only days away from completing "a historically successful session" that will balance the state's budget without a tax bill, despite a $9.9 billion shortfall. Despite the work stoppage, Perry said, Republicans remain focused on legislative business. "Texans need to know that this partisan disruption will not stand in the way of the greater good," Perry said. He added that he hasn't been pondering calling a special legislative session after the regular 140-day session ends June 2. According to House rules, the deadline to preliminarily vote on House bills is Thursday. After that, it would take a favorable vote by two-thirds of the House to get legislation to the floor for a vote. Missing the deadline would delay several major bills, including a budget-balancing government reorganization proposal. Republican Gov. Rick Perry also was among the state GOP leaders who lambasted the Democrats for fleeing to Ardmore, about 30 miles north of the Texas state line and about 270 miles due north of Austin. "By taking refuge in Oklahoma, they are silencing debate on important issues, undermining our system of democracy and running out on millions of everyday Texans who are depending on their representation," Perry said in a statement Tuesday. But Rep. Pete Gallego, a Democrat, said his party had shown a remarkable degree of unity, a sign that the redistricting issue was important to Democratic lawmakers. "The reality is we hope the legislative leadership will take note of our position and will work with us in resolving what brought us to today," Gallego said from Ardmore. "It is not an easy thing to get over 50 members of the Legislature to agree on lunch, much less to agree on a trip to our neighboring state of Oklahoma."

Today is another good one http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...o_uc/bo20030514

Who is getting voted off tonight?

I think we need a Jimenez mention in this thread today, for his excellence in baserunning!

I picked him up as soon as I saw he was closing. There have been some good catches with relievers, such as Rocky, MacDougal, and Lance Carter.

And lets not forget Bobby Brown "It's my prerogative"
