#15  "Pat is a standing next to St Pete"

For those who never marched in circles, that means he's God's Guidon... Prolly a good call, SH.

#14  If in the same deck, they would have to be dealt from the bottom.

#13  .com, that't beautiful. I think Clinton and Kerry would be in a different deck though. Hopefully, Pat is a standing next to St Pete - guarding the gate.

#12  Zpaz, I work on the South Side (large university near the lake) but live on the west side. No tix but plenty of walk-up seats available.

I swore off baseball after the Strike (fxxking Sox and Indians had the best division race in 20 years going and they WALK OUT??!!%$&*#), but it's in my blood, and I'm beginning to glance at the box scores again.

#9  Sarge, if you trade all the lefties, you'll deplete the bullpen and we'll all be at Jim Thome's mercy. :-)

#6  But why would the Cubans want to leave their communist paradise and come to this horrible country? Ted? John? Thom? Maybe we can begin a swap with the Cubans? Trade a lefty for a freedom seeker? Seems we have a lot of unhappy lefties living in the U.S. why not give them a chance to live in one of the last communist bastions of paradise? I feel sorry that they could not all come over at the same time and I don’t want to think what his wife was going through after he defected. I am also sad that I will have to root for the Yankees the next time this guy is pitching! And yest it hasn't made the LLL press yet.

#5  I also grew up in the Cleveland area, and one of my better childhood memories was kicking around the old Lakefront Stadium watching Leon Wagner flail at a curve ball.

I'm real happy for this guy, and I'll be at Comisky next time he's in town just to wish him well from the cheap seats.

SuperHose: let's not get too hasty about letting George S off the hook, 'k?

#4  SH--I'm with ya--Can't stand the Yanks, but I do love a one-finger-salute-to-Fidel like this.

#3  SH-
I grew up within earshot of Lakefront Stadium, but my dad worked for George S...go figure.
In any event, I think Chief Wahoo will forgive us one very heartfelt cheer for this young man and his family the next time he walks to the mound.
