Manny gets traded. There be an Odd one. No inside information, except Theo doesn't make many stupid moves. Remember Nomar?

$2 million a year for ten years to stay retired. Ummm, getting chased around by 300 pound men trying to crush me, or $2 million. Brett we love you, but everyone gets told their done sometime.

Divorce rate in the Bible Belt is higher than national average. Maybe the Bible isn't the problem.

With the recent law changes, I wonder what will happen to marriages, marriage rates, divorces and divorce rates? Maybe we should look to Scandinavia for some answers as we move closer to their politics and culture?

What is up with the California legislature? What if we have a referendum that stipulates that if the politicians don't have a budget on time, they are locked in the Capital until they do.

What are they thinking to take jobs away that help the functioning of the state and cut back pay rates to the federal minimum wage? This will make them solve the issue? No, it will cause a big problem in an election year for those running for office.
