I am concerned how much everyone is enjoying that! :puke

did you find the link? greasy has it if I recsll correctly - reading some old Sox emails I came across this from June 24th which I hadn't noticed before 10 Reasons You Can't Miss Watching This Big Series: # The Cubs had players named Heinie and Wimpy in their long history. We didn't. # We didn't need Sammy. We have Magglio. # Frank Thomas has Hall-of-Fame numbers - Hurt's so good. # Shingo Takatsu is Japanese for "hitless inning." # We don't throw back the opposition's home runs. We keep our own. # Last World Series appearance. Last World Series win. Head-to-head edge. Enough said. # Four words - Churros at The Cell. # 'Ozzie ball' is a way of life, not a style of play. # Juan Uribe is Spanish for ".300 hitter." # Wrigley Field might be known as a hitter's paradise. Our offense does the same for U.S. Cellular.

no, I heard it on WWMT from Kalamazoo - must be a phrase used everywhere!

Reservoir Sox would be a killer sig... I can't get into the Bears thing but I love your creativity

I am sure if your do a simple search here you will find it, the link was posted

that is what they called it on the local (Michigan) news...

because it was your birthday?????? HB by the way I suggest in yars to come you do something simple like pass the word the only birthday dinner you want on your birthday is one purchased at USCF - hell, my birthday is a tradition where a bunch of my friends go with me every year - not only is it a great tradition, being with my closest friends at my favorite place to be in the whole world, but everyone remembers to get me a present! So make going to the game your tradition -

what would I ahve had us do? I posted extensively on that before the invasion of Iraq. I do not think the only choices are violence or surrender. There are other ways to respond and I am not going to be repeating all of that now, it is all in the archives, to repeat those discussions will not shed any new light at this time, just more heat. I am not punting the question. I have posted extensively on it. The debacle this thing has become was forseeen by many. There were so many other ways. But I am not going to repeat all that has been said before because it is all there anyway. That you, my good friend, ask, what other ways were there with the stark contrasts that you presented as the only options, says to me that all I will respond is check the archives because I am not going to go through all that again. I would be fascinated to hear your tales of Morocco! I envy you that experience! That is a conversation that I feel like pursuing because that will be new ground, not a replowing of old ground. And besides, going to Morocco is just plain cool and I'd love to hear about it!

Roman is long and deservedly gone. You are still here. Might I say, we came out way, way ahead on that deal.

without a graph that shows that 8 in 3 days represents an increase rather than a continuation, I leave that question open without opinion. as for the rest: Blinded by ideology or acting to defend one's country? Blinded by acting in regards to what one sees as a cultural war? All depends on perspective. And whatever one thinks, this response was predictable and easily seen by all who wanted to look ahead at reality rather than theory. Blinded by ideology... cough cough Cheney cough cough Wolfowitz cough cough add the names in here. I have always ascribed to what Gandhi said - an eye for an eye makes everyone blind. And what Jesus said - those who live by sword die by the sword. And what God said - put no trust no war horses and chariots. And I condemn the use of violence by all sides. All sides. All sides. There were other ways once... certain actions compelled predictable reactions and those who sow violence do reap the whirlwind and that applies to everyone here, "our" side as well as "their" side

not so sure I'd call him the greatest but he is up there ... and you have always been one of the rational ones who remembered Robins's struggles and how patience was the key to opening that door - knowing the history of the game and not yelling "so and so sucks" every time a talented player goes 0 for 40 something or 0 for 50 something has always impressed me with your rationality on baseball

but it is a team game -

I believe that opinon was touted by someone no longer here who was never wrong - and I sure got tired of reading that in post after post after post... people forgot he got the nickname El Caballo for defensive reasons... anyway, I don't recall you ever talking him down, one of the many reasons I have always trusted your judgment on things

thanks for the stat! I have been predicting a gold glove for CLee for years - just because it would be go great to see all that work on defense pay off! and to piss off eveyone who has trashed him through the years

why would you give up so early? there is a reason the game is played over 9 innings.. and this team has not been a slouch at coming back they were times in 93 and 94 when Paciorek would say, "we are down by two in the 7th - we got them right where we want them." And we often won those games. I am glad our players don't give up so easily

Proper 12... 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time for those who follow the lectionary that way Sunday's sermon - I am guesting at a nearby local congregation - will pick up on the Gospel lesson, where the disciples say, "teach us to pray" and will also rely heavily on the First Lesson (in the Revised Common Lectionary) also the Festival of St James, the Elder, Apostle and the 1st place Sox playing better on Sundays than they have in years

sometimes you have to let a player work through it - as has been pointed out before, a lot of folks here would have gotten rid of Ventura as he struggled in some parts of his game, the hitting, early in his career - the 0 for 50 something that he once did - baseball is an art not a science and you have to allow players with real talent to work through the tough times

I don't know that it has increased exponentialy - without doing the math, not sure it has increased at all - it has been steady and consistent people do not like their country being invaded and they react as they are able the inability to comtemplate all of the possible consequences of an action speaks to the failure of those who planned this whole thing - blinded by ideology is not the way to proceed in matters of this nature

all the people trashing on Joe lately... where are they?

I just couldn't pass it up - my apologies to our thread starter but how often do we get the word play we have for today's game?

agreeing here - we don't need a DH and we don't need Carl in the outfield

well?
