“hello,
This is about online payment.There is a massive change underway in the mobile media market as it becomes unshackled from the operators’ portals that have dominated it for a decade, all without having made any significant inroads into the content use of mobile users. The new capped data packages, fuelled by further competition, will see a total revamp of the mobile media market. It will no longer be based on portals but on direct services by content and services providers via open source phones and mobile-friendly Internet-based services. The next step is the continued emergence of m-commerce and in particular m-payment services.
regards
hazz.hazz”

So tired of hearing about a certain guy is back of the rotation or middle of the rotation ! If you a starter, your a starter ! They don’t finsh each year with stats that always warrant their spot in the rotation do they ?
As far as Wang, just have a gut feeling he doesn’t have the “make up” or “moxie” as we use to call it to make it. Shoulder injuries are very scary. To me, he was a little overrated, always in jams with walks. The amount of money you might give him has NOTHING to do with it. He won’t make it all the way back, period. You give money to hopefully people you can count on! At this point, he no better than a Mitre and look where he is now!

Hey,

The Yanks paid Pavano to sit on his bruised buttocks for four seasons, they can figure out something for Wang.

“If Wang can come back and be like he had been, just think about the added defense from Teixeira, Cano, Jeter and Alex on the infield, double play balls with fewer errors… it would probably make him look even better.”

Good point Abdababdaserser. It’s downright scary how many wins Wang might rack up with Tex on first instead of….well just about anyone else, but especially Giambi. Not to dump on the stache, cause I like the guy but it must have made Wang sweat out there knowing he was the first line of defense.

Even our backup guys are stronger now. Look at Pena, for ex. If Wang can come back he’d at least have one less problem to worry about.

Doreen,

Actually, I think you’re being too nice as this person seems to have some issues in which he might need some professional help.

Remember, Michael Kay is a lot closer with Joe Girardi than he was with Joe Torre.

Bodhi: my statement about Taiwan producing the best green tea was hyperbolic; I know it produces great tea, but I haven’t studies the tea growers’ coaches poll or latest BCS rankings.
=====

I’m always interested in a new tea experience. I drink about 6-7 cups a day (counting oolong, and the occasional chai from scratch if it’s freezing out). Last week, I ran out of black tea for chai, so I made cardamom coffee. Very good.

I can’t take Torre seriously, if he’s really a Bigelow guy and not just the spokesman. Maybe it’s like Jeter with Ford – doesn’t actually drive one.

CC Rider -

I had forgotten about that aspect of the 2006 season! Yes, that was the year Jeter didn’t tell the fans to give ARod a break. And it was given a lot of press.

Carl Pavano wasn’t and “idle” until after he signed his contract; I suspect if the Yankees knew what they were going to get, they wouldn’t have gotten him. It was unfortunate.

The reason Wang’s deal needs to be an incentive-laden, yet fair, deal is because of the two shoulder surgeries he’s already had.

No doubt the Japanese would thinks their tea is the best; why should that be diffent from anything else?

I imagine that Red China would produce excellent green tea as well. They wouldn’t blink at sacrificing the lives of a million tea growers to make a better strain of tea leaves… brutal but effective.
