that stiff Rameriz, trade Schilling, Clement and get some real

| That's true apart from the year Brett Boone was on steroids. We'll be back in the playoffs as soon as we get rid of Hargrove. We just
spent a year finding out why he couldn't win the series in Cleveland. jps |

| Man, you're still struggling with that whole reading-for-content issue.
I seriously doubt Snippy was a fan of any sports team apart from maybe
the Jayhawks. Certainly not the Royals. jps |

| That's right. He sneered at the Chesapeake and eastern waters, but
always seemed to like Chuck's home waters and that Gulf of California area. |

Skipper was more of a Wichita State fan. Any Jayhawk team would have
been "too liberal" for our boy. Ever been to Wichita? I have, several times. Blech. |

| I used to "misbehave" a bit with a staff photographer when I worked at
the KC Star, and when the night city editor caught us, he'd send us down
to Wichita or some other bloody awful place in Kansas for a "feature."
The photog was one hell of a photographer, though. He died recently. Kansas City, Missouri, was a pretty decent place the years I was there.
I enjoyed my sojourn. |

| Perhaps my wording wasn't clear enough. The photog in question, though
married, was a man about town. I was a bachelor. After I got off the
obit writing desk and finished my stint at the cop shop, I was sent out
on patrol for several hours a night with a photog in hopes of coming
across a really good auto accident, plane crash or multiple murder.
That's what life was like in those days during the first year of a
reporter at the KC Star. Wes, my photog friend and co-worker, knew the whereabouts of EVERY blind
pig and every party in KC, or so it seemed. So, while we were supposed
to be in the patrol car, we more than likely were otherwise occupied,
and the night city editor couldn't reach us on the car radio. We'd get
caught once in a while and be sent to purgatory, which typically was
Wichita or out to Great Bend, where the KC Star owned another paper. I remember the first murder I covered. We intercepted a police call and
went out to some dumpy place. One dead woman, two dead guys. Guy comes
home and finds his wife in the sack with another guy, grabs his shotgun,
kills his wife and blows the head off the other guy before shooting
himself. Brains all over the ceiling and wall, so naturally I asked the
cop, "Hey...is he dead." Just before I went outside and puked. I had a wonderful time at that paper. I got to write some really
terrific hard news and feature stories, and met some incredible people.
Worked my way up to a solid bronze spittoon, too. |

| He is indeed. It's easy to tell for several reasons, not the least of
which is his nose up the butt of you, me, Chuck and a couple of others,
and his affinity for vomitus like Herring, Hertvik, Robbins, Fritz, et
