I think all of this is stupid anyway, but...if we were talking about it globally, the 'Midwest' is not the center of the wester world...Europe is part of the western hem. so the middle would be the east coast or maybe in the Atlantic somewhere. The Midwest is actually pretty damn close to the cente...

On Friday, three council members were scheduled to meet with engineer Lloyd H. Frank about the subway idea, but inclement weather caused the city to postpone the meeting.

If only there were a subway they could have taken...

Fukudome is asking for 12-15 mil a year over 4-5 years. To much for what he will be as a player in the US. The best bet is for the Royals to get Rowand if they want an upgrade in CF. Rowand hits most of his HR's to the left corner - left center. I think Rowand could hit 20-25 HR's if he comes to th...

Thank god the Royals didn't get saddled with Andruw Jones.  $18M per year for drastically declining production from a guy who I'm willing to bet is gonna be named in the Mitchell Report, not an investment I'd like the team to make.  The Dodgers are lucky that they're only on the hook for two years. ...

Royals Authority cited this Newsday report stating that Japanese outfielder Kosuke Fukudome has narrowed down his options to the Royals and Cubs (very bottom of the article).  Given that Hiroki Kuroda's preference is evidently for a West Coast team, it seems unlikely that he'll be a member of the R...

I doubt the Royals would sign both Kuroda and Silva.  They'd probably be looking at an investment of $80M between just those two guys (throw in Meche's contract from last year too and that's $135M tied up in three players).  I could be wrong, but I imagine they are pursuing either/or, not both. I al...

Moving a talented closer to the rotation is not a solely KC thing.  There was plenty of discussion last season about moving Papelbon to the rotation, but the Red Sox decided against it since they were already sending out Schilling, Beckett, Matsuzaka, and Wakefield.  When the Royals have a rotation ...

Didn't Jason Grimsley already set this precedent for us?

I think the pathological obsession with vicarious living through athletics in America is a symptom of larger problems in the American psyche, as I've stated before. Because in no other country but America do people care about sports.  No one has ever been murdered for accidentally scoring on their ...

Japan produces more great pitchers than the US does. If we get someone from Japan he will easily be in the #1 spot. And comunication wont be an issue since Hillman can communicate with them. Not so sure about that.  The level of competition in Japan is not quite as high as MLB.  It's widely accepte...

And the reason why Dayton Moore loves Japan so much is because...  why? Why not?  I don't think he loves Japan, he's just following the talent.  Royals Authority also speculates that it may have to do with his having been a high school teammate of Hiroki Kuroda, the best available Japanese starter ...

I'm guessing you're not the target audience. Is Ward Parkway struggling? Everytime I go there it seems pretty healthy. I don't think they need to change what they're doing. I don't know, I'm not over there very often, but every time I do go it seems like there are fewer and fewer stores.  I used to...

You put fracking Tom Brady back there and he'd be getting knocked around like a punk and making bad throws, too. The problem isn't Huard. I don't know about that.  What about Brady's 2005 season when the Patriots were so racked by injuries that they were practically pulling people off the street to...

If you are that high profile of a player teams will have to move the players they already have. A-Rod wont change spots. He changed spots once before.  The real question is whether he can go back to SS.  The move from SS to 3B is supposed to be a lot easier than 3B to SS; A-Rod's still youngish, bu...

I attended a number of the transit meetings this Spring. The Saturday morning meeting above Nara had your question posed "about how much to tunnel and how much to elevate."  There was a panel discussion, Jerrold was there, Ford was in the audience, and a bunch of others, so they heard thi...

Why the hell did they take their time getting back to the line after that Webb catch?  It took the Packers forever to throw out that red flag, if they had hurried up they could have gotten a play off and it'd be in the books.

There are more with macs than Windows based machines. I see some are using Linux also.

It's XP.  The Mac-like doc is a separate application.
