    But he is on a razor thin line between AAA and MLB

    Can he play first base?  Since Pittsburgh lost Bream, I've been having
    these nightmares about Carmello Martinez and Gary Redus, defensive
    sieves, at first base.
    
    	--dan'l

I think Wilkerson has the edge.  No one else around seems to have
his mettle, you know?

He's forged quite an excellent career, and can be quite incisive
at times, especially if mishandled by managers.

    Too bad we aren't up to note 204 yet so I could direct you there, you
    jerks!
    
    PUNS SIP!

    re dan'l:
    
    I thought I heard or read somewhere that the Bucs were going to try
    Bobby Bonilla at 1B.
    
    
    py

    Wilkerson might give the Pirates the edge that could really help their
    infield gel.

Puns, and the ability required to juxtapose the required and related
abstract concepts have been proven psychologically to be indications
of superior intellect......

hth,
'Saw

    I ask a serious question and you guys just pun it to death.
    
    Cut it out!
    
    ;-)
    
    	--dan'l

Perhaps Wilkerson will be able to shave a few errors off the team total...

    
    Will youze guys put a strop to this nonsense!
    

Dickster, you're within a whisker of really getting me p*ssed!

;^)

And if we have too much to drink at happy hour, I'm sure we'll
just stubble on home...

    Puns like these tear at this conference's moral fabric.
    As the Church Lady says, "Is this the work of SATIN !?"

SATIN?

??????
MIKE JN

    
    He meant SATURN.
    

    SATIN you ask ?  Yeah satin,*felt*,burlap,denim,polyester...
    
    

    I thought it was a pretty smooth response

As Shakespeare would say:

	Twill do, Twill do.....

'Saw

    No,No,No
    
    He meant Satin Youngman,the ancient prophet of Judea( lived somewhere
    between the prophets Daniel and Ezekiel) who was stoned to death because
    he was caught worshipping a Golden Thigh( or was it Calf) while playing
    a rotten violin.

    PS- Don't take this too personally.  I wouldn't want you to get teste.

Paul, you missed the boat.  I think we should erect a monument
to Jake.  Instead of an obelisk, we could erect an Onanesque, 
in the middle of the pubic square, say in Pittsburgh.

It'd be quite the place where people could go nad see our
tribute to Jake.

Perhaps would could put it next to the statue of Lyndon JOHNSON,
or the big cannon with the ball out in front of it....

Gotta love this note.  What a place for fertile minds....

    Frank,
    
    I thought my puns were bad, but yours take the cake.  The NERVE of you
    flaunting such bad taste puns in pubic.  You should be locked up in a

    type are starting to spermeate all aspects of society.  I don't think

    Bud Light was really hopped up for this one, and looked like they had
    Bud over a barrel when they capped their second drive with a TD.  Light
    made great improvements in their team through their draught picks, many
    of them labelled "can't miss", and through the team simply getting
    better with age.
    
    Bud, however, was able to get something brewing in the second half,
    and had the Lights pretty much bottled up and kept their offense
    contained.  They appeared to have canned their original game strategy,
    and managed to control the flow for a while.
    
    The overflow crowd drank it all in as the game reached a head in the
    last quarter.  The Lights by that time were still high, and lit up the
    scoreboard with the game winner, which was a trick play they had stored
    away and expected to tap into just in case they needed it.
    
    It was one ale of a game!

Dickstah -

SPICE shows lots of shows offering SAGE advice.   ROSEMARY is one of its 
big stars, and she's in MINT condition.  It offers lots of variety - a PINCH
of comedy, a SMIDEGEON of drama, a DASH of sex, and a few SPRINKLES of mystery.

    Yup,
    Saw Neil Young doing "CINAMMON Girl" live from Portland, OREGANO.
