Now I know how Ralphie felt after he opened his present on Christmas from his aunt and saw the pink bunny costume.

CNN reporting 6 dead. Tragic but thought it would be a lot more from the pics.

Help! I was talking to my uncle down in Southern Illinois and he asked me about the Bears. I told him they should be top 3 in the NFC, possible best in the NFC and he went off on me saying that the Bears didn't get better after the Super Bowl. I brought up Darwin Walker and the drafting of Greg Olsen and he never heard of them. He thinks Stephen Jackson will be the MVP this year. The Rams fans down here are drooling over Orlando Pace losing a bunch of weight and Bulger being re-signed.

Brewers were like 2 for 14 with RISP last night against the Mets. Lucky to pull that out.

Sounded like it would be easy to get a deal done. Loving it.

Keith Hernandez complaining about the umps. LoL Why is the Brewer thread closed in Diamond Club? Nights like this it would be useful.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 10:10 PM) Well I'm from the North Suburbs and I couldn't care less about the Cubs either. If they lose...great, if they win...oh well. Liar! You are used to living in Cardinal Nation already! Down in Southern IL now and everyone is back on the Cards bandwagon. They think they are the hottest team in baseball now. Told my uncle that I will believe it when they get to .500 and got lashed. They act like I don't want them to win, I mean if the Brewers fall, I want the Cardinals to win the division. Just gonna be hard without Carpenter and whatever Mulder brings back with him.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 09:43 PM) Man I don't get how the Boogeyman can eat those worms, I feel sick to my stomach just watching it on TV Think I read or heard somewhere that it is part of his diet outside the ring. Seriously. It's his main source of protein. But I'm with you.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 10:02 PM) Anyone else just see the Brewers get screwed by the umpire, and then Graffy hit a fly ball to the fence? Mercy, just one of those days. Yeah, I don't understand why the umpire was so stubborn to not ask for help by the 1st base ump or 3rd base ump.

I was hoping Jeff would be able to stick around. I'm not a huge fan of his but anyone who is over as he is and gets a crowd excited is good for the business. Hopefully it is no big deal.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 07:34 PM) They've booed him this season too. It's ridiculous. I can't wait until he opts out a gives the Yankees' a big FU. I hope he goes to someone else in the AL East so he could obliterate them for the rest of his career. ARod is one of the only guys on the Yankees I actually respect. All Yankee fans sit on their high horse. I agree with you on everything above. They have been spoiled their entire lives as baseball fans and have no sense. Like all baseball players should play their careers to impress them.

Jose just not driving towards the plate at all. It is like step and throw, doesn't look into it. Bring in Haeger or Floyd.

No sweat, Jose will give those 3 back.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 06:22 PM) It's not that he hates us, it's just that Jose Contreras is just so f***in' lame. No matter who we have out there, Abreu rakes off us.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 06:20 PM) Not that I give a damn, but you're fooling yourself if you think managers don't call shots even after they are ejected. I have no evidence that they do.

Why does ABreu hate us so much?

Figures.

Now that Ozzie is tossed, if we lose, someone will come post and criticize a move Ozzie made in the 7th inning.

Wow, the YES feed has clear audio of Ozzie swearing when Kay and Girardi weren't talking. LOL Good job, Ozzie. Jeter should of been rung up, probably wasn't because he is Derek Jeter. Don't let your team be a victim of something like that without saying anything.

Sweet, Sox game not blacked out on mlb.tv for me in St. Louis! Even sweeter...No Hawk! I got the YES feed.

"I think I found a way to get Griffey and Bonds in the same outfield, and we wouldn't even have to give up that much!"

Owens CF, Fields 3B, Thome DH, Konerko 1B, AJ C, Dye RF, Pods LF, Uribe SS, Richar 2B

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 01:13 PM) Dr. Cox rants > everything else. ^^^^^^^^ We gotta have a Hugh Jackman cameo before the finale!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 12:56 PM) Torres Roundtree has decomitted from SIU for now. He says SIU is still the front runner but I'd bet money that he'll end up somewhere else now. God damn it. Yeah, you decomitt with the idea of going somewhere else. That sucks.

I'm down in St. Louis for the week, do you think the Sox game will work on my mlbtv account? Sox are blacked out when I am home, obviously. Not sure if they go off IP or location of where I reside.
