But it does make me right about Jerry Manuel!

Tlak, that was very insightful and well said and well reasoned; thank you, I wish I had written it

that rather needs to be in green - the source is known by most of us but it should still be in green

since we have no idea what the final standings will be, as I have said a million times, never pick your opponent. We have no idea what combination of games we need here in the w/l column for each team to help us. Let them play and do their thing and we cheer for neither one, for one is ahead of us and the other right behind us. A plague on both their houses and a plague on anyone who tries to say we should pull for one team or the other because it will "help" us because we just don't know and what we think is best for us in August may bite us in the ass in September.

replied to already those assholes!

you want me to ban you from soxtalk? talk like that can get you tossed really easily!

hell no. being now an exSox, he will post a 0.62 era, save 23 games, and lead the astros to a division title or wild card spot and for the next ten years people will be b****ing here about why did we ever get rid of Rick White and cursing KW, JR, and JM for it.

I never even heard of that one - one of the benefits of not living in Chicago I guess - what a sick concept even before September 11th

I either finish last or I finish 2nd wtf

I am not kidding about Kass at all. He sure hates the Daley's and that's fine and all. I find his writing to be very unsound on many things.

and by the way, through the years, I put very little faith in Kass - he is king of picking and choosing what he wants - he is not a quality journalist - that he is supposedly replacing Mike Royko is an insult to Royko and all fans of good journalism

a judge follows the pre-sentence report, prepared by the prosecution/parole probation, 99% of the time and there are strict guiudelines for scoring the variables which a judge can rarely deviate from Gamboa blew this all off in the beginning as being nothing - and he certainly could have filed a victim's impact statement and appeared at the court to make a statement had he wished - too late to b**** after the fact when you didn't participate in the process when you should/could have - I have no idea what the pre-sentence report said but the prosecutiuon would have strenuoulsy objected if the judge went lower than their recommendations, so the place to look is at the prosecutors office and what sentence they determined was appropriate based on the facts of this case - which would include any (unknown to us) rehabilitation and whatever - and as jails and prisons are filled to overcrowding and Illinois has a budget crisis - I never expected him to get any jail time - but probation can be a rough period if the parole officer makes it so, or lax, depending again on the p.o. all of the above is not saying whether I agree or disagree with the sentence - I am just saying how it works - the sentence was very non surprizing from that standpoint -

your avatar suggests you know what finger to wave at White when you see him

and well damn, JM was right - the Sox did win the next two!

that was more about throwing stuff on the fields - the things are angled out to catch the trash people were trying to loft on the field -

no to 3 run lead, somewhat comfortable with 5, a little more comfortable though with a 7 run lead

he's 10-9 I am not giving him the cy young yet

let's get 3 outs first before we start saying that bring on the a's it was a jinx, to say bring on the As too soon - that's why I anti-jinxed it to hold KC to only 3 now however: bring on the As!

but then again, it hurts

we are a game out of first don't fire anyone easy to second guess - hell soxheads said we should have put Koch in, maybe Koch would have 1-2-3ed it we won be happy

Harvey 1-2 K we win

relaford 0-1 several throws to first 1-1

Harvey base hit to left 1 on 2 out

Harvey 1-2

Harvey 1-0 1-1
