The goes another lefty possibility
Give Tejera a chance.? I see great things for him this year. Mike Tejera? he's no lefty. he's indeed a LHP. last year he flat out sucked against left handed hitting though, worse than what he usually does. however, he's very good against right handed hitters. Indeed,I am aware he is a lefty however I don't consider him a "true" due to his inability to retire lefty batters. Don't get me wrong though, think he's a fine young pitcher.

Howard Dean:"''YAAAAARRRRHHHH!!!!!&qu
http://www.nationalreview.com/york/york200401200904.asp Finishing third in a contest that just a few weeks earlier he had been expected to win handily is surely a setback for the campaign of Howard Dean. But in the long run, Dean's Iowa concession speech, in which he appeared to lose control of himself and began screaming at supporters ? all in front of dozens of television cameras ? may be even more damaging. Dean's speech, delivered at his headquarters in Des Moines, stunned even some observers used to his displays of anger on the campaign trail. And in the days after the caucuses it is sure to spark discussion of Dean's emotional intensity and whether such intensity should be a disqualifying characteristic for a potential president. The speech didn't start badly. Although Dean appeared oddly exuberant after what was an extraordinarily disappointing finish, that might easily be attributed to a politician's desire to put a publicly positive face on bad news. "You know something?" Dean asked his fans. "If you had told us one year ago that we were going to come in third in Iowa, we would have given anything for that." That was a perfectly reasonable gloss for a candidate to put on unfavorable election results. But Dean quickly took on a red-faced, shouting, teeth-baring, air-punching demeanor unlike any of his performances during the campaign. "Not only are we going to New Hampshire," he said, his voice rising. "We're going to South Carolina and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York. And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House." Then he let out a strange, extended, yelp that seemed to come from deep within him: "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Dean Audio

what county do you live in?
Looks like no one in Martin County is on this board. How many from Collier/Lee/Charlotte Counties are there here? Lee for me. I own a residence in Flamingo Bay which is Lee County. That makes 3 of us.

Because people have somthing called an opinion and their own tastes.

Best President.....
Washington He took a theory and gave it life. He was the person that existed that allowed Americans to trust in a strong executive officer so recently after shouting about tyranny. Every act he took set a precedent and he tried to rule as an arbitrator standing above the fray deciding on issues of constitutionality. He set the works in motion.

Best Baseball Movie?
Although it's manipulative as hell and not for all tastes, my vote goes to "Field Of Dreams." To me, no other movie quite captures the way that baseball can get under a person's skin, sometimes to an unhealthy degree. I should know I actually knew that Moonlight Graham was a real player, and that he appeared in one game for the 1905 Giants without officially batting, before I saw the movie. I liked Major League(The first.) though. It's funny, with some good quotes and moments.BTW is it just me or does Jake Taylor(Tom Berenger.) remind you of Darren "Dutch" Daulton.

Queer Eye?
When I say AMAZING rights I am stating that they should not IMO have equal rights to that of straight,heterosexual people. According to the plede of alligance we are "one nation under god". Homosexual ways are a sin against god. Therefore us giving gays rights make that statement false. Question isn't their a seperation between state and church? To have A US citizen not have the same rights as others is wrong. Also how would you force these rights? How many people do you think will throw away their rights by telling the gov their gay. Would you also like slaves, because if we go by your way. I guess blacks can't have the same rights whites have if we go by you. There isn't an entire seperation between church and state,Rune. When did I say that I was prejudice against blacks, and when you say "because if we go by your way. I guess blacks can't have the same rights whites have if we go by you" are you implying that blacks are against god.

I'm pointing out how supportive this country has become of them. It would be acceptable for a gay president.

Queer Eye?
First Gay reality shows,(I mean reality programs are bad enough but GAY reality shows. Discusting.) Now a school designated for gay students, Watch soon there will be a gay politician, wait there already is. With the amazing rights these people are getting in this country I wouldn't be surprized If we wind up with a gay president in the next 20 years.

THIS FISH ARE QUITTER!
Perhaps I did mention you but I wasn't referring to you when I made the "You will get torn apart" statement I was speaking of "EdCanes". I stated that I wasn't making excuses.

THIS FISH ARE QUITTER!
Like I said..... The losses do not bother me. Its the effort given during these losses that bother me. I have not seen the effort given to back up the pitchers. Oh pardon me for critizing this team. When you win the expectations grow. Lets all just be happy and content and be done with it. If I would be torn apart on another board for being negative then so be it. I dont care. If you have been here for a while, you know where I am coming from. Now run along. Hey bub, I wasn't even talking to you. I didn't even mention your pathetic name in my statement. I never even mentioned anything you said. "Run along now". Jeez,you are one power hungry b*tch. Have a nice day, Spunky
