Jason, by the way, since you have all the top secret info, like email addresses, could you email me so I can ask you a question about the site - thanks -

no, total - but for clicking a few places I'll take the $20 - that is ten trips across the skyway going to and from Comiskey - every little bit helps!

so are u saying we gonna take the world series if you win 11 post season games, yeah, you win the World Series. So that is what I was saying! Its time.

I think you pretty much killed your chances of JR hiring you...

the site says it is down today but you could get $5 to $20 when it is up tomorrow (as it claims it will be): http://www.musiccdsettlement.com

It was an 0-6 start and the turn around was a total surprise. Whatever Tommy Amaker is doing, God bless him! Wednesday's game is a big one - it a must win for Illinois if they want to stay in contention of the regular season Big 10 title and who ever though that would be the case????? It is a huge game for us, if we win, on the road, it will be fantastic. Since we have no post-season, we are playing for now, so it is a must win for us too. I am not going to make a prediction, I don't trash talk in sports, as a rule. But the win today with Blanchard only scroing two points is very good sign for us, because if we can win with Blanchard off his game, then he gets back on and we are looking real good. The rest of the team is maturning as fast as I have ever seen a team do. So my only thoughts for Wednesday are I will be watching, and it should be a hell of a game. Assembly Hall is a tough place to play but Michigan is on an unbelivable roll so that makes for a great athletic sports contest. Should be fun and agonizing for everyone, and that is Big 10 b-ball at its best.

6-0 in the Big 10 and 13 victories in a row - no post season for us this year but what the hell, what a great team these kids have turned out to be and what a great coach Amaker is turning out to be - the victory over MSU was so sweet today! My team won the big game today - wow.

that is great!

96 wins regular season and 11 in post season.

If everything that Buehrle has done through the years doesn't earn him the Opening Day start, then why should any player try to excel? The reward for excellance in pitching is opening day starter. MB has earned it.

dude, yo, go see a doctor for some reality medication! big defeats last November? The Republicans went from 49 Senators to 51. Gees was it only in 2000 when they had 55? And to go from 49 to 51 was only a few thousand votes in Missouri, Minnesota, and New Hampshire. It was very close and no mandate for anyone and hardly a beating that "Cubs pitching has never seen." Making statements that are ill-informed or factually incomplete won't fly here.

Very insulting comments to penis' don't you think? The body part he reminded me of was the asshole.

gees, and all evening I was watching MTV's Battle of the Sexes: Road Rules and Real World. It was dumbass stupid s*** motherf***ing cockdong unoriginal sons of beeyotches at their best, and damned entertaining! I can't wait until the f***ing asshole Puck gets his, and that b**** on the women's team, I think she gets thrown by the inner circle next show!

orinetation is no more a choice than height or eye color or gender or race. It is something a person is born with. Reggie White was full of s*** about it being a choice. No one chooses to be something so hated by others and society. It is a given. Back in the day there was the struggle for civil rights for people of color, and then for equality across gender lines, and now across orientation (not choice!) lines. Just the struggle to have people accepted as people and keep alive the promises of our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. If you are born straight, embrace it, God bless you, and life your life with confidence in what you are. If you are born gay or lesbian, embrace it, God bless you, and life your life with confidence in what you are. That is what it is all about. No need to ask about others or wonder, it is a private matter for all, and no one else's business, except when put downs happen. Then it is all of our business, to end the put downs. End of story.

Point 1 - you miss the point, that baggio and HSC and I have made, you do know gay people, its not like the wear rainbow flags on their foreheads so you know who they are. People are people. Andf what makes you think any gay guy would want you in a relationship? You think you turn both the girls and the boys on? That is a very common ego fallacy (phallic-cy) of nervous insecure straight guys, that gays will be attracted to them - hell, they ain't good enough! Point 2 - make you own friends. Peer pressure and groups are for s***. I have not always lived my life well but I was smart enough early on to make friends with whoever I thought was interesting. In high school I had greaser friends, dooper (collegiate) friends, sat with the rowdies at the football games and had friends who were geeks, top of the class, jocks, and drop outs, and the Youth for Christ kids and the hippies (in my day we had real hippies) and long hairs and straights (which meant then not hippies) and dealers. Close friends in the military and close friends in the peace movement. The point of having friends is who enhances my life, not pleasing some group that delights in putting down others outside of the group. In fact, people who put down others, I wouldn't hang with. That is a firm rule of mine still. I have friends, straight and gay, with wild and numerous body piercings and friends who are very conservative accountants and I treasure them all. Variety, that is what makes life fun. Our tailgates at Comiskey - everyone is welcome and stays welcome as long as they don't leech off the rest of us. I am glad they feel that way since I am the oldest one of the regulars, I think. We would probably agree on very little; if you read the MLB boards, you'd see that on non Sox things the gulf is wide on a lot of things. But it is the very diversity of the people that makes it wild and fun and so life enhancing. And the internet Sox friends have met my Chicago Sox friends who I go back with 38 years now in one case and just a few years shy of that with others. It is great to have friends still close to after all these years - and that's because we never conformed to group or peer expectations, just did our thing because we became friends apart from groups. If anyone thought you were a f***, no one would be taking the time to share with you. You have the potential to be a very cool adult (or you can be a closed narrow minded s*** and no one wants that for you). I am sure a secure group is comfortable for someone who has moved as much as you have. But f*** no :fyou to any group that exists to define themselves apart from others, and takes humor in putting down others. Some day you have to face the question of what happens when someone you least expect says to you they are gay, or a trans sexual, or an atheist, or a wiccan, or the teen father of 4 children by 4 women, or a druggie that you never knew they dropped, snorted, or shot up. What do you - reject them? Give them lectures? Lay down ground rules? Or be their friend as always, no change? You don't look at the differences buddy, you look at what you have in common. I go out of my way to make friends with people very different than me - which means I can get along with anyone, very comforting in new situations - because as different as they are, the more diverse my friends, the more possibilities for fun in life because their perspectives may be different. And just because someone else does something doesn't meaan I have to do it with them, there are other things we can do together if there is something that I do not want to do that they do. But then you find that the differences are minor as opposed to what is had in common. And it makes you a better person. Last of the advice, kid, which is always boring and stupid from someone like me, my age. And I have probably bored myself and a bunch of others on here. But the last of my advice for you my friend - I have screwed up much in my life, but I got the friend thing right. And I have survived because of my friends, people who love me and who I love because we bond, not because they fit a group expectation or were approved by some peer group that sat in judgment. I will say no more.

psycho?

ok, then I will cancel. The party is at the Hancock. Damn. I screwed that one up.

Put me down as a CLee fan. As baggio has pointed out to his chagrin elsewhere, year in and year out everyone talks of trading him and yet he continues with us, and in my opinion, gets better each year. He had arguably the catch of the year last season. And if we lose him I am afraid of the numbers he will put up. And he beats the scrubs. I just want him to wear his sunglasses on his face, as opposed to on his cap, during day games at Comiskey. And he is the only Sox player whose autographed baseball I got who is still on the Sox.

actually I could never say "f*** KW" because the idea of actually coming into close physical contact with him turns my stomach.

I take it you don't want KW to jump naked out of the cake at your birthday party?

You are partially right on George Wallace with a very significant exception. After Wallace lost in 1958 (running as non-screaming segragationist, not against the Klan) he vowed never to be "outn*****ed" again. However he was not a lifelong Democrat. He ran for president in November 1968 as a third party "America First" candidate. He left the Democrats some time after the confrontation with JFK over the University of Alamaba (standing in the school hosue door after winning election declaring "segregation yestersay, segregation today, segregation forever) and LBJ's subsequent getting civil rights legislation through the Congress and signed into law when LBJ was president. Wallace's Alabama was as vicious to the civil rights campaign as any state, arguably, the most vicious. That is what made the March to Selma and the Battle for Birmingham Bridge so legendary. He came back to the Democratic party for the 1972 primary campaign when he was shot. He would have fared poorly overall in the 1972 nomination campaign had it gone full course for him, although he had a one or a couple of primary victories, one of them in Michigan which after massive Republican crossovers. The Michigan Democratic party has never had an open, binding primary since, its all been by caucus, after that one. In my opinion, George Wallace was never a liberal on race relations or anything. He ran what, both of his wives for governor of Alabama when he could not run, to keep control of that state government. He finally stopped fighting against African Americans when the political reality was that he needed their votes to win. He was never a Republican, but that was due to Alabama conditions, not out of any love for the Democratic party or hostility to the Republcians. For the record, Strom Thurmond was a Democrat until Humbert Humphrey's famous speech to the 1948 Democratic convention which set the party on the road to civil rights. Thurmond ran for president in 1948 as a States Rights third party candidate in that ununusal election that had two 'third parties" (Henry Wallace, no relation in anyway!!!, to George, ran also.) Thurmond left the Democrats for good after the 1965 passage of the Civil Rights Bill and became a Republican permanently. All throughout the years of Republican majority in the Senate since the 1980s until he retired this month, Strom Thurmond was elected by the Republicans as president pro tempore of the Senate, which put him third in line for the presidency after the vice president and the Speaker of the House. For that, the Republicans never should have had a majority, in my opinion. You are a sweet guy and a real peach! Now don't worry about being called nasty names, at leaset by me.

so I take it HSC that you do not want KW to jump naked out of the cake at your next birthday party?

I thought I heard Guido's voice -- you have read my review elsewhere, it was a good show

You have to have everything new, the entire collection, and so do I, and we always wear the same things to the games no matter what we have in our closets... I thought we looked rather stunning at the opera, you in your Mags jersey and me in my black Sox jersey that is supposed to vintage and looks like nothing no one ever wore... thank you for your kind comments elsewhere, which humble me -

thanks for supplying a laugh in all this!
