There's nothing political about the Pope. There's nothing to debate.

I thought that the first time I saw it. That could really be cool.

I hate it a lot less than I thought I would. It's actually kind of cool.

You want a sneak peak? New Braves Jersey (I know, this would've been a good time to slip the Peter Pan link in)

Cool uniforms too.

We've now used all four names of the Angels to pick them to win their division.

The Angels won their World Series in 2002 when they had a middle of the road payroll. It wasn't until last season that they really started spending, and they still failed to win a playoff game. The Yankees last won a World Series in 2000, before they started buying the big free agents every year. The Mets, Phillies, and Dodgers are all examples of big spending teams that don't go far.

I believe that now all four teams in the AL West have been picked to win the division in this thread.

No, I'd hate it. But the current MLB system does have that one advantage that people know who they're watching in the playoffs.

Or its key advantage. The players on the teams in the playoffs are household names, for the most part.

I'm always wrong, but here goes: AL East: NY Yankees AL Central: Minnesota Twins AL West: Texas Rangers (sorry Angels) AL Wildcard: Boston Red Sox American League Champion: NY Yankees NL East: Florida Marlins NL Central: St Louis Cardinals NL West: Los Angeles Dodgers NL Wildcard: Chicago Cubs National League Champions: Chicago Cubs World Series Champions: NY Yankees MVP (AL): Mark Teixeira, Texas MVP (NL): Troy Glaus, Arizona Diamondbacks CY (AL): Randy Johnson, NY Yankees CY (NL): Mark Prior, Chicago Cubs

Nothing says "I'm right and you're wrong" like throwing food at people.

I'd love to know how companies sending jobs overseas is unfair but unions doing everything they can to bleed their employers dry is AOK.

I subscribe to it and I love it. The picture is small if you're sitting close but if you maximize the image to full screen and sit a couple feet back, it looks fine. The only blacked out games are the ones that are on in your area or could be on in your area (this sucks when FOX has three games to show on Saturday and you miss all three regardless of which one your affiliate is showing). You do need a high speed connection (I have cable) to ensure it works. I paid $100 to have the ALL ACCESS package for the season. Hope that helps.

Rockies count as "professional" baseball players?

I was just happy that the South Park guys recognized that PH is not attractive and basically has no redeeming qualities. I don't understand why anyone finds her attractice or has any reason to pay attention to her - she looks like Mr. Burns with a blond wig and is proof that women can indeed be too skinny.

No way, Butters in the bear outfit and the entire portrayal of PH was classic!

It was the X-Files spinoff from back in the late 90s. The big conspiracy for the first episode was crashing a passenger jet into the WTC to boost sales for the defense industry.

Or they could have watched the premeire episode of Fox's TV show "The Lone Gunmen" where the stars foil a plot to fly a plane into the World Trade Center by remote control (quickly picked up as fact by prisonplanet.com).

It's been obvious all along that the island was magic, but so far it seemed a neutral entity that reflected the people who were visiting it. This is the first time I thought it might have its own agenda, and we now have 3 crashes into it (2 planes and a shipwreck).

Let's also remember that the island showed Boone his sister's death, and Locke knew that (not to mention Jack's dad). So not all the island visions come true. Also, Locke's dream with the plane, his mother, the wheelchair, and bloody Boone definitely didn't make it seem like the choice was between the wheelchair and sacrificing Boone. It has occured to me, though, that the island might be evil and is basically turning Locke by giving him gifts that it will threaten to take away.

Locke's father did what he did for himself. Locke did what he did because the island is the key to everything - including their own survival.

The endings to Locke's episodes are always the best - very dramatic especially when the music kicks in. His scream when he was driving away in his car was amazing. And the very last shot.....WOW.

Amazing episode - what an ending. We are not worthy.

I think I started hearing that last week....
