You wait for the news. You intellectually know that this is the best thing
for the team. And yet to finally read it, I can't help but feel sad to know
that Bernie's career playing for the Yankees has come to an end. It just
doesn't seem all that long ago that he was the skinny, fast kid playing for
the Albany-Colonie Yankees.
" 'I have come to a place in my career where there are other things in my
life that have become just as important as baseball,' Williams told the
Journal-News. 'If this is the end, there are no regrets. I gave it my
best shot. One of the things I've always wanted was to gain the respect
from my teammates, and I think I've done that.' "
I don't think there's anyone who loves the game of baseball that doesn't
respect the player Bernie's been and the person that he is. The Yankees and
we fans were fortunate to have him grace the outfield for so many years.

No offense, but what you see is barely, no check that, its not relevant.
You haven't shown much of an understanding of the situation to this point.

I might be talking through my hat...but I would guess that that is
*exactly* the type of war the US would *not* want them to initiate at
this point. They already have some irons in the fire...
If you don't believe me, ask Hitler what happens when you spread
yourself too thin.

If naturally no one would do it, why would it give Iran pause?

Wow. Again I say tell that to the families of the dead civilians. They
probably see it differently. Collateral damage is a term concocted to
make the aggressor feel better, not the victim.
And the US has a few Canadian lives on their side of the ledger
too...non-civilian ones at that.

It hasn't. But that's not because the Patriot Act is good or bad.
Chances are good though, that many people have been affected and are
largely oblivious to it.

I cannot possibly fathom the connection between what I said, and what
you replied. If I am missing something, please help me out.
Remember, I told you that I am amazed at the way some Americans think
that the way to quell anti-American sentiment is through continuing, and
winning, the war in Iraq.

How are you supposed to be taken seriously when you link to an article
that doesn't mention Iraq in defense of your ridiculous statement that
Iraqi prisoners like it there?

Please note that the word Iraq does not appear ONCE in that story. So I
ask again...
How do you know most IRAQI prisoners love Club Gitmo and that their
worst nightmare is being returned to IRAQ?
(Hey, it was your statement, not mine)

They went 9-4 during those two weeks (June 21 to July 5).
What's so "messed up" about that?

Sheff will always be "nasty" but who knows if he can still hit.
