These are just great. (Warning: May contain adult language)

Had tix for Saturday but my oldest rugrat has a concert at his school that night. Bummer dude. Looks like my next game is the Friday night tilt versus the MFYs. Can someone do the math and tell me the pitching matchup? Anyone else gonna be there? I'm buying. Step up Dickshot.

My experience is different than yours then.

="Edgy DC"]That's not entirely fair to print the rings' value as collectors pieces, and not their production cost, which is where it became a gift. Making the distinction doesn't make it proper, but not making it is a distorition. The collectable value of the rings is a non-issue for me. This paragraph is the real issue: ]What's more troubling is that Giuliani's receipt of the rings may be a serious breach of the law, and one that could still be prosecuted. New York officials are barred from taking a gift of greater than $50 value from anyone doing business with the city, and under Giuliani, that statute was enforced aggressively against others. His administration forced a fire department chief, for example, to retire, forfeit $93,105 in salary, and pay a $6,000 fine for taking Broadway tickets to two shows and a free week in a ski condo from a city vendor. The city's Conflicts of Interest Board (COIB) has applied the gift rule to discounts as well, unless the cheaper rate "is available generally to all government employees." When a buildings department deputy commissioner was indicted in 2000 for taking Mets and Rangers tickets, as well as a family trip to Florida, from a vendor, an outraged Giuliani denounced his conduct as "reprehensible," particularly "at high levels in city agencies," and said that such officials had to be "singled out" and "used as examples." The rings are just the tip of the iceberg in that article anyway

There's some troubling shit in there but nothing that I would say surprises me. Giuliani's reputation as being one who is not bound to the same morals he expects those around him to be is well-documented.

My business is specific to the legal community so I deal with attornies all day, every day. It has been my experience that just because a person has a Juris Doctorate it is no guarantee that they have any idea how the legal system works.

Delgado - 2 Wright - 2 Maine - 1.5 Gotay - 1.5 Schoenweis - 1 Wagner - 1 Beltran - 0.5 Heilman - 0.5

We need more cowbell?

Unfortunately no, it was more matter of fact but you could tell that Francesa felt pretty stupid for not realizing.

Done.

Glavine on WFAN a little bit ago: FRANCESA: "So what is the reaction in the dugout after Bonds hits that homerun? Is everybody just amazed at what this guy can do and is doing?" GLAVINE: "I don't know Mike, I was on the mound."

Hirsute Maine was 5-0. Bald Maine is debuting this afternoon.

If they sit him out the next series then by the beginning of next week his leg should be fine. I have faith in the training staff evaluating his injury and deciding how best to treat it. If they think he can continue to play without a high risk of aggravating it then I suppose I'm good with that. Just the fact that he is playing, and playing productively, tells me that this injury is nowhere near the severity of the one he had in 2005.

ZAP!

I stopped reading Spidey before the black costume and Venom were created so I really have no idea what that villan is all about. I know the old guys - Goblin, Sandman, The Lizard, The Vulture, Doc Ock, etc. Who was that guy with the star shaped lightning bolt mask? Can't remember his nom de guerre.

Ditto to what irish said. Put Green at first and sit Delgado? In the first week of May? Of course because the Mets are only tied for first place. Makes pefect sense.

Glavine - 2.25 Reyes - 1.5 Beltran - 1.5 Wright - 1.5 Lo Duca 1.25 Alou - 1 Feliciano - 0.5 Wagner - 0.5

As long as he's willing to say it about a teammate, a friend, a mentor, or just a white guy. You got issues with Curt?
