    Nobody on this board is telling anyone when he or she should or should not be offended. I have stated numerous times that people have the right to be offended (see post # 25). My point, which I keep making and which keeps getting misconstrued as you have above, is that people should consider the context of a statement and the actual meaning of the words before they decide if someone meant to be disaparaging. That being said, many people are distracted by buzzwords that heighten sensitivity and they don't really listen to or read what is said to determine the meaning of the statement.

    Your analogy is not valid. Being a dry cleaner does not equate to socially unacceptable behavior like drunkenness or criminal behavior like being in the mob. Only elitist snobs would consider it demeaning to be a dry cleaner or to be called a dry cleaner.

    I still miss the Scooter.

    She just has a very annoying voice, but her and Sterling are hoot on the radio. Waldman tries to be professional with her lisping annoying voice, and Sterling's affected baritone makes his homerism comical. They are particularly funny when the Yanks are getting spanked.

    There is a fundamental difference between the following statements: "all asians are dry cleaners" and "all dry cleaners are asian" The second statement is not a stereotype of asians. It might be a stereotype of dry cleaners. In some cities or towns the second statement might be close to accurate or completely accurate. It doesn't mean that anyone thinks that Asians are only dry cleaners. That would be a break with sound logic. As for your comment about the Sikhs experience after 911, that had nothing to do with the stereotype that they wear turbans. Wearing a turban is not an offensive stereotype. It is a fact, and one that should be respected. The offensive stereotype that resulted in the violence against the Sikhs was that "all muslims are terrorists." Unfortunately for the Siks, the ignorant people that committed these acts also believed that anyone wearing a turban was a Muslim.

    That was Vaughn's listed weight, and it was most likely his Rookie weight. He was playing at 260-270 towards the end.

    It's not as simple as that. Here's a stereotype: All Sikhs wear turbans. Is it offensive? No. Some stereo types are offensive, some very offensive. Others are not.

    I like Shitfield better.

    Cano has looked like a butcher out there at second in the first three games. He is not very good at all. The Yankees have problems on the right side.

    and familiar:(

    Bellhorn struck out swinging to end the rally.

    Mirabelli just walked in a pinch hitting appearance against the Giants to load the bases. Bellhorn is following him as a pinch hitter.

    Yankee announcers just said that Pavano has been cleared to start throwing.

    Wright's first relief appearance in three years.

    1,2,3 the yankees go down

    I think they are taking the right approach.

    Wang looked real shaky tonight. Torre has to go to his bullpen early. Let's see what they've got.

    Hopefully, Leiter doesn't work as slow in the booth as he did on the mound.

    He certainly didn't sound disappointed or downcast. He realizes that he has to work on some things and get better, but it sounded like he was confident thast he would get there.

    Papelbon is a real luxury as an insurance closer and starter.

    I think you are right. Theo said something interesting before the game. I am paraphrasing, but he said that Tito would have to balance closing out a win with using Foulke. He said each win is important. This was only a 1 run game, with no margin for error. Foulke has not been good in Texas and he is coming off a bad outing. If there had been a three or four run lead, Foulke would have closed. Francona probably has had a conversation with Foulke about how he would use him. For now, he won't close out one-run games. They'll let him get his legs under him with 3+ run games. They will give him an opportunity to right himself, but not at the expense of a win.

    This is a big surprise that Francona threw Foulke under the bus after 1 game, but it was definitely the right move. Where does this leave Foulke?
  23. a700hitter
    Fine because there is nothing wrong with looking like a whore.
  24. a700hitter
    Another ground out. Ughhh!
  25. a700hitter
