First off, that's the Yankees, not the Sox. And the snippet from Forbes doesn't provide any of the specifics of the economics of the situation, so it's hard to tell even what the article is even predicting, if anything, specific. The implied cause/effect -- new stadium/doubled revenue -- doesn't directly impact the Sox or any other MLB team. Will the game be more costly for fans next year? Of course... but by how much?

That worked for Brandon Webb and the Dbacks tonight!!! Webb got his 16th win of the season.

Well, your LIFE will change forever. And that's (generally) a good thing. Congrats. You will feel different the moment your new baby takes its first breath! Your entire perspective on life will change! That moment, which for me was nearly 19 years ago, was and still is THE most dramatic moment of my entire life. Oh, and did I say, "Congrats!" :)

Likewise, I'm sure! :)

No question that makes for exciting baseball!!!

LOVE that A/C!!! It's like that for (at least) 6 months here!

As others have said, it can be a MAJOR contributing factor to heart disease... ESPECIALLY if you are overweight and/or have family history... I've been using cpap for four and a half years. In that time, I've lost 90 pounds. But I also (with very strong family history) had a heart attack 9 days ago. Because I use cpap, lost the weight and work out regularly, my incident was VERY mild. One gets checked for sleep apnea in several ways, to varying degrees. Best is a "sleep study" in a special lab that hooks you up to a bunch of machines and they see what the problem is and try a couple of different things during that night to see how to get you to sleep most restfully.

I second this insight. They're called Breathe Right strips... and you HAVE TO use the name brand... generics do not do the same thing... they can help some, but if one needs CPAP, the strips will not do enough.

I can't imagine he's got a Phoenix Suns jersey on too... THAT gorilla knows better than to do his thing when the a/c isn't on!!!!

And it's another 100+ scorcher in the Big D today, isn't it? That can't be helping...

Naw... maybe I'll just offer to give you a gentle elbow jab in the ribs to wake you up. >;-) However, I'm sure it will take more than just two games to tell whether adding Blake and ManRam will be enough. The Dbacks are still pretty good and yesterday's game just got out of hand. So, hopefully it will be a good race to the end of the season for those two (Dbacks/Dodgers) and no doubt the better team will win. And if that ends up being the Dodgers, so be it. I have to still like the Dbacks' chances because they do still have good pitching and overall reasonably good hitting.

I remember reading Bouton's book, Ball Four, when I was a senior in HS... I use to call it, "Ball Four, get one free!" gosh... that was only 36 or 37 years ago...

I saw that before... I know CBS says this is a new episode of 60 Minutes, but that story is not new. It IS very interesting.

4-4-4 add in an infield single... me thinks the Dodgers made the deal of the century! :(

He certainly makes it look easy... but we all know it's certainly NOT easy. Wierd play just now... Casey Blake knocked Chad Tracy's glove off as Tracy went to catch Blake's infield pop up... finally, after the umps conferred, Blake called out.

Do you need any more freon? Blocks of ice for your backyard pool, perhaps?

Probably not... that's something you're good at. I'd hate to see you get in trouble for it. :)

Yep... Manny homered in the first with Juan Pierre on base...

Methinks our stRange friend knew already... :)

Of course he had a reason. But was the reason related to the actions of THIS rider? I doubt it VERY much. I agree... especially about the conclusion.

Want me to FedEx you some FREON?

I'm not so sure the "judge not, lest ye be judged" admonition relates to our duty to serve on juries...

Bottom of the 9th: Russell Martin singles to lead off. Manny grounds into a 6-4-3. 2 outs. Kent out F-4, game over. Win number 293 for the Big Unit.

I have to imagine that wierwille had many more situations present themselves wherein he was given the opportunity to turn from his wickedness...
