beat your meat son. i'm already down. this is the best the dodgers could do? maybe ventura would be a good p/u if frank thoms was hittin' behind him AR15firing.gif

I'd love to pick up Frank, but I'm not sure if he could adjust to the National League. I'm getting fed up with Shawn Green and I wish we could trade his ass along with old ass McGriff. They're worthless!! I'd only keep the pitching staff, Lo Duca, Cora, and Izturis. Everyone else would get the boot. Hopefully, the rumors about the Dodgers being sold are true. Then and only then can we finally make some moves.

this staff is starting to rival that of braves when their rotation was hot. i'd keep beltre for late inning defense though. watch what you wish for though. the next guy up for ownership wants to level the stadium for some high prced b.s. housing. putting the stadium right over dogtown or some sh*t.

Gypsies were known to live in parts of Eastern Europe, same as many Jews but they were and are not one and the same.

[/QUOTE]i'm not calling gypsies jews, give me more credit than that, but, i can see how i could be misunderstood. there are actually at least a couple of ways to spell it, gyp short for gypsie or jip short for jew. learning this term as a kid, i had no conception of "gypsies" beyond tv, but jews were very much a part of my world, in fact in the chi we had a neighborhood called "jewtown" (itself a derogatory reference) and when you wanted a bargain or a lower price, you would "jew him down" which was similar to effective negotiation or taking unfair advantage, again an unfortunate derogatory reference.
my apologies for any offense.
