Last season (at age 38) Wake was 16-12, 4.15. In 225 innings (career high) he had a WHIP of 1.234.I'd say he's almost definitely starting next season. I think David Wells will be traded soon, and either Clement or Arroyo will probably be traded before the season as well. If not, Paplebon will probably start out in the bullpen.

The Red Sox lineup actually isn't very ludicrous. Looking something like Manny in left, Trot Nixon in right, ???in center, Ortiz DH, Youklis at 1B, Loretta/Cora/Graffanino at 2B/SS, Mike Lowell at 3B, Varitek catching.What is better is their rotation: Schilling, Beckett, Wakefield, Paplebon, Arroyo/Clement/Wells.

Burns's contract was non-tendered by the Orioles. I believe that makes him a free agent. Also, Jose Reyes is sick. Yes, his OBP was .300 last season. But he also had 190 hits, 17 triples, and 60 steals. He is only 22.

Ok I just want to point out that your list of prospects traded away includes Jason Schmidt, Freddy Garcia, Jermaine Dye, and Ray King. Three of these players have been all-stars (and the fourth, Ray King, has put up great numbers). Jermaine Dye is the reigning World Series MVP.Jason Schmidt is arguably one of the absolute top tier pitchers in the NL...he will be 33 next season, and in 2003 posted numbers of 17-5, 2.34 ERA, 208K in 207 innings, 46 BB. His career ERA is 3.95.You also have one major flaw in your argument: you only listed prospects traded by Shuerholz who have made it to the

So far it looks like Manny is staying in Boston, but I wouldn't be flabbergasted if he was moved.I would be very happy with Manny +$$$ for Jose Reyes, and a little happy about Manny+ $ for Lastings Milledge + Cliff Floyd. Manny for Tejada might work nicely too.I don't wanna lose Manny, but if he wants out, maybe it would be for the best.Also, I really hope Lastings Milledge becomes a star. He sounds like he's from 1900...Lefty Grove, Three-Finger Brown, Honus Wagner, Lastings Milledge. Great ****ing name.

We should have thrown in another couple prospects to Florida and picked up Juan Pierre. We ain't got no CF.

It's not a real place.It's Springfield, USA, and there's no city.No matter how hard you try, you will never find an accurate state of where it is.When the Simpsons did that Behind the Music parody episode, the narrator called them a "northern Kentucky family."

I would definitely steal as fast as I could, and hopefully he would not come back at all.If he was a nice guy and had not been rude, maybe I would offer to split when he came back (with me in the lead).

We live in a society of laws, why do you think I took you to see all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well I didn't hear anybody laughing. Did you? Except at that guy who made sound effects.

You 2 should just shut the hell up and fight. That would settle things the good old-fashioned way.Back to the discussion...Simpsons wins by leaps and bounds. If you put the 20 best Simpsons episodes next to the 20 best Family Guys (if you wanna be fair, take the 20 best Simpsons over a given 4-year period) Simpsons are better. It is like arguing that Jennifer Aniston is hotter than Charlize Theron. There's no argument. It's just wrong.

Yes, I'm quoting myself. Also, Zeppelin's best song is In My Time of Dying from Physical Graffiti.Also, Zeppelin IV is probably the most overrated rock album ever.Also, When the Levee Breaks is the best song on Zeppelin IV.

One thing we COULD argue the statistical likelyhood of is whether life exists on other planets. The size of our observable universe is staggering...incomprehensible really."We now know that our galaxy is only one of some hundred thousand million that can be seen using modern telescopes, each galaxy itself containing some hundred thousand million stars. We live in a galaxy that is about one hundred thousand light-years across and is slowly rotating; the stars in its spiral arms orbit around its center about once every several hundred million years. Our sun is just an ordinary, average-sized,

statistical arguments for a creator don't prove anything since we don't actually know how likely anything is to happen. who says the universe was created? if the universe is infinite in any sense and there is even the remote possibility of conditions forming that will allow intelligent life to evolve spontaniously, it will happen (and it will happen infinite times!) if that happens to be the case we only seem special (to ourselves) because of our extremely limited perspective.This is a very interesting argument, and I'm with you Crow. First, we have to agree that the universe had a beginning.

I'm just trying to defend evolution. Can we all agree with evolution yet or what?Also, there's a difference between an untested hypothesis and a well-tested theory.

First of all, if the flop come Q94 and you make a reasonable bet, I would call with AQ. But I think you should raise with KK. I don't know your stack size, but you don't necessarily need to move all in. Say the pot has 500 chips with you just calling. Raise a little more than 500 into the side-pot.If you don't raise, you let the button in for cheap. Your first goal should be to win chips with KK. Why let the button see a flop for cheap with a dead pot? You have a monster...make it expensive if the button wants to play. If he calls, the side-pot will be at least double the main pot, an

Close enough, he had 53 suited.

$20 buy in, 180 person game on Stars. Blinds 50/100. I have about 5000 chips, opponent has about 4000. UTG I have TT. Raise to 300 (yes I could have/should have raised more, at least to get information, but it was a very tight table and I don't mind a little action on TT). One caller, both blinds fold. Pot 750.Flop comes 333. I bet 800, opponent calls. Fourth street: 2. I bet 800, opponent minimum-raises to 1600. I re-raise all in, he calls off his remaining 1300ish. Fifth street: 4 (with no straight-flush possibility). First person to guess his winner gets a Coke. And please (befo

The counter argument, of course, goes something like this:Let x be the number of innocent people killed by the death penalty.Let y be the number of innocent people saved because of the fact that the death penalty acts as a deterrent to murder. In other words, the fear of death prevents y amount of murders a year.If y is greater than x, the death penalty can still hold. Else, it can't. Now, finding actual numbers for x and y is most likely impossible, but it's fun to talk about it in theoretical terms.When a government starts weighing the +/- of accidentally executing innocent citizens, that

WTF!??!?!?!?! better to be dead than to be living with a mental handica/disease!!?!?!?!?!! I disagree on that........ Glad to see your still clueless. Work an Alzheimers floor at a long term care facility and see how fast you change your mind.my grandfather has Alzheimers, so F*CK you!! I know what it's like, and HE tells me that he enjoys his life, yes, he has bad times, but he also has good times, so how about that case?? You act like I have no clue what I am talking about, you don't even know me...I ain't just spewing random crap, I know how I feel. I didn't say anyone who disagreed with
