I have DSL with AT&T and think it's fine. When the house phone is in use, it is a tad slower but that's why we have cell phones.

Glad we ditched them last week.

Danks is 2-0 with a minuscule ERA against TB this year and we usually hit Jackson around pretty well.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:08 AM) Boy what a horrible 2nd quarter for the U.S., 21 point lead early in the 2nd is down to 9 at halftime. They might want to wake up and keep in mind that they go right back to laughingstock if they lose, and not only that, but even worse since they would have blown a 21 point lead if that occurs. Why are they showing this on tape delay on NBC? They could of cut the Today show short.

Nothing like pinch hitting for a DH hitting .140 with a guy batting .180.

Come on LAAOA! Get a run so I can go to bed in peace.

Just saw they are investigating the age of one of the Chinese gymnasts. He Kexin may actually be only 14. If found to be 14, the US will be awarded the team gold and Nastia will be awarded a gold in one of the individual events.

Run defense sucks.

Nice 81 yard TD drive. I liked it cuz Orton stood strong in the pocket and didn't panic like Rex would. he looked off safeties and defense on that long pass to Bradley, and they didn't settle for a FG after an O-line penalty negated a TD catch by Olson.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 10:02 PM) I'll take Joe Nathan over K-Rod any day of the week. He's VASTLY superior.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 01:22 AM) The Twins piss me off. Don't they know this division is ours this year? Why won't they go away? Those bastards. They probably say the same thing about us.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) If Boldin became available in anyway, Jerry Jones would be all over it in a flash. And Kyle, I don't know if you'd call signing Archuleta and Darwin Walker "big moves". Archuleta had regressed big time since his early days with the Rams, and was found out to be a run support safety who's decent in the box, but covers worse than Roy Williams and isn't a very good tackler, while Walker I would call a "system DT". I don't see a lot of hope for the Bears right now for the upcoming season to be honest also. I thought the Darwin Walker pick up was a steal and a great move. Just didn't work out. I don't think many were excited about Archuletta.

Definitely Bolt. Mixed with the fact that I have trouble taking Beach Volleyball seriously as an Olympic sport. Lets ditch baseball and softball but keep Beach Volleyball. Maybe Frankie Avalon can make an appearance.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 10:55 AM) Cat Osterman She's cute but Finch would of won.

I was flying to Arizona last year and had a drink of McD's and they made me throw it out or finish it before I got on the plane. They must have been prejudice against the handsome.

Who pitched for the softball team today?

Another reason I hate Cub fans.... Today at work, a guy I know who is a Cubs fans and he knows I am a Sox fan, comes up to me and says "Imagine how big of a star Carlos Quentin would be if he played for the Cubs." And he waited for me to respond like this would be an intelligent baseball conversation. So I replied sarcastically, "Yeah, if he played for the Cubs, he may have made the All Star team, oh wait. If he was with the Cubs, he'd be the leader for the MVP, oh wait." The dude did get me and said that if he was on the Cubs, he would of been voted in the All Star game by the fans, which may have been possible. I just hate when a Cub fan talks down to me like that.

We should probably pitch around Melvin Mora next week in key situations. He is smoking!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 06:33 AM) So they re-ran the roast last night, and it really wasn't nearly as good as years past. Cloris Leachman was BY FAR the funniest person on there. There were some funny moments, but not nearly as good as some of the past ones. Mostly they just didn't have very good roasters. It was the lamest collection yet. Go back and look who has been there in the past, its not even close. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_Central_Roast

QUOTE (oralsoxpodcast @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 08:18 PM) Yeah, DJ has gotten better and doesn't bother me anymore. True his calls aren't that great, but anything's better than when he used to just say "Uh Oh." I love Robin Ventura. Don't get me wrong. But can't we get a decent play by play man? Farmer was much better as color. Now he just annoys me. "Uh oh, OH MY" was so bad it was awesome. The "Going-going-gone" thing seems rehearsed and fake.

I saw this on the news. How ridiculous. They should at least than let people bring their own stuff on the flight.

QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 03:39 PM) FSN North rarely broadcasts afternoon weekday games. It pisses me off to no end. Its not like Twins fans are tuning out of the games the last few years. (If I remember right, the last time the White Sox and Twins played, FSN had its highest rating ever scoring over a 10.0) Its off to the West Coast to play the Angels for 4. Weird thing about LAA is that they play a night game AT Tampa, then fly back home to play the Twins tommorrow. the Schedulers were not kind to LAA there I actually don't feel bad for LA cuz they do that to other teams. Not schedule afternoon games at Anahiem for the last game of a series when the other team needs to fly out.

If I posted what I did all afternoon on my day off, I would have to burn my "Man Card".

Let's call MLB and tell them we are giving Oakland 6 of our runs today and they need to play the bottom of the 9th.
