- Both are great, but if you're making them from scratch I'd go with kofta -- nm - Roger More Jul 23, 07:01

Alfonso Soriano to the Yankees rumours seem to be picking up... -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 05:46 17
- *sigh* -- nm - Krusty Jul 23, 06:18 9
  - Honestly you shouldn't feel bad he's been on a tear and looks like he may repeat last year. He's a solid player (not worth the salary, but the Yankees - pmb Jul 23, 06:31 7

    - I still think of him as more of a Twin than a Yankee. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 23, 06:04 3
      - Even while he played for the Yankees, I think Chuck "Oopsie" Knoblauch was playing for the Twins. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 23, 06:11 2
