Physically, she is a Giant at 6 3" to be considerd a girl or a beauty. Has evil looking eyes. Her horrible scream is the loudest in the history of women tennis. Has only one game plan..Hit the Ball Hard. Arrogant and doesn't respect or talk to other players. Always brag about herself in the Press of how big & strong she is & could beat all the other players. Only female players that comes with all that kitchy stuff that shows what a low class she is, with her name on her shoes, golden shoe laces, golden cell phone custom made for her & want the whole world to see it. Look, she came from the Getto of Siberia & i would think she should be more humble, but she & her mentally disturbed father still carry the getto mentality. My friends all agree in their opinion about her.

I need to pick up a RB. I am weak at this position; I currently have Travis Henry, Caddilac, Maroney and A. Thomas. Available as FA/waviers that I would consider are:

M.Barber (Dal)
D. Williams (Car)
W. Lundy (Hou)

My question is: shuold I drop one or two of my current RB's for one or two of these, and if so, who-for-who? (NOTE: don't suggest trading, no one in my league does it; i've tried before).
Appreciate expert ff advice--thanks.

i am an aussie and i am shocked at how awful the poms have played so far in the ashes. to all the poms, are u still confident?
chasing 570 with only 7 wickets in hand, put down a win for the aussies in this test and a clean sweep in the series. in short, the english victory of last year was a one-off, and for those who think it wasnt, i say look at your team now.

Super Saints are at home and currently 8th, Luton are currently 19th......but not too many points seperating 8th to 19th, so a win is a must for my team. Your thoughts and predictions on the game and result please.

Phillies' Howard Named National League MVP
Star Follows 2005 Rookie Award With 58 HR Season
By RONALD BLUM
AP Sports
NEW YORK (Nov. 20) - Ryan Howard had a season that defied convention, one that made him only the second player voted Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player in consecutive years.

Why did they choose Howard? His 58 homers to Pujols' 49, and his 149 RBI to Pujols' 137. That's where the advantages for Howard end. Pujols is better in nearly every single other significant category. See for yourself:

Player AVG OBP SLG VORP WARP EqA
A. Pujols .331 .431 .671 85.4 12.9 .357
R. Howard .313 .425 .659 81.5 9.4 .346


The first three categories are well-known rate stats, and clearly show Pujols was the superior player in 2006. The main knock on Pujols in the MVP race was that he didn't play as many games as Howard.


Houston 's Lance Berkman was third with 230 points, followed by the New York Mets ' Carlos Beltran (211), Cabrera (170) and Washington 's Alfonso Soriano (106) - who agreed to a $136 million, eight-year contract with the Chicago Cubs on Monday.

If you're a real pool player you will say that the breaker does not get the next turn.

t's been among the worst defeats the Indian XI suffered in recent times.

Wednesday's drubbing in Durban -- where the team folded for a paltry 91 runs, within 30 overs -- rankles, and how.

The promising coach-captain combine of Greg Chappell and Rahul Dravid, which began with a string of victories, seems to have lost steam over the last few matches.

The defeat also comes with the return of master batsman Sachin Tendulkar -- often hailed as the greatest -- to the Indian XI after a long layoff due to injury.

Is the excess 'experimentation' in the batting order, indulged in by the coach, who allegedly bulldozes his way with the captain, to blame? Our Members of Parliament seem to think so.

On Thursday, an irate bunch of MPs clamoured for Chappell's head in Parliament, asking Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar -- who also heads the Board of Control for Cricket in India -- to intervene by sacking the coach.

What do you think needs to get done to stem the rot?
