The original post has been made 23,325 times since the last time the Cubs won the World Series.

Has anyone ever been f***ed over by a bar or restaurant on the tip line for using a credit card? Last Saturday up in Ames, I bought 3 drinks for $20 and even though I had enough cash, I whipped out my credit card to pay for it. I remember leaving a $5 tip on the line and writing the total to be $25 below it. I was looking for the charge in my statements online since then, and I noticed it didn't get charged until yesterday. The f***ers made a charge for $20 and then another charge for $25. Now I know I had some drinks in me, but I know what I wrote, and I even told my buddy about the possibility of this situation before the charge was made. I don't want to call it in just yet because this is my debit card and they'll probably freeze the account and I have bills to pay. Should I talk to the bar, cops, and/or credit company? Or just eat the $20 and not deal with the hassle?

My Cub fan buddy has this in his profile. When was this said?

Sad for him and his kids. Same day as Owen Hart. How hard is that for Jeff? When is the Hebner brothers' tell all book coming out?

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 23, 2007 -> 09:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you really think Toby Hall would have come through with a hit? Yes Greg, I know this for a fact. I travelled in my time machine and warpped to an alternate universe to see how this would work out. The Sox end up losing 4-3. You can sleep easily tonight.

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 23, 2007 -> 09:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's easy to blame Ozzie. He didn't have the bat in his hands feebly with bags loaded and only one out. It's not like the other players you mention are great hitters either. Right handers against Marshall: .326 BAA

Coming into tonight's game, Erstad had a line of .158/.179/.263 against LHP That is horrible.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 23, 2007 -> 09:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is Crede available, if only for a pinch-hit here? Crede looked absolutely pathetic against Gaudin in Oakland.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 23, 2007 -> 07:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If the Sox fired Walker last Thursday and started hitting like they have been, people here would have said its proof positive that he was the problem. Now that they have begun to hit, maybe he isn't. So true. Just wait until the Sox get shut down by Johan again. We'll have the "we can't hit LHP" and "we can't hit good starters" crowds out with their pitchforks.

It's a little after 6:30, and the Yankees-Red Sox game is still in the first inning. Is there one game between these two teams, specifically on ESPN, that actually lasts less than three damn hours in game time?

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ May 23, 2007 -> 05:58 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And there goes the possibility of getting Baldelli. Thanks for that, Dukes. On a side note, does anyone else think of Bloodsport when they hear his name? I can't believe even after posting a current line of .204/.268/.358 and being on the DL, people are still obsess with getting Rocco. I'm guessing if his name was "Adam Smith," he wouldn't be in so much demand by this board. Oh yeah, Dukes is a piece of s***. Where's soxfan101 on this?

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ May 22, 2007 -> 09:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I really don't get how anyone can talk negatively about Erstad. Look at your own sig.

Career: Hunter: .271/.324/.469 Erstad: .286/.340/.414 However this year Hunter is playing like he should be in regards to his contract situation.

What a fine representative of the Christian community and of Falwell's sheep.

QUOTE(Dan @ May 21, 2007 -> 10:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In case you haven't noticed, he's on a 6 game hit streak, chief. ..and it only took you a month to wait for a streak like this. Think he'll catch at least Pete Rose's 44?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 21, 2007 -> 10:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The offense seems to be making a comeback. Greg Walker will be able to go out in public again soon. Fire Don Cooper! Oh wait, it's the bullpen. BRING BACK MAN SOO LEE.

an offseason favorite:

QUOTE(Dan @ May 21, 2007 -> 09:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> BUMP! ..and even with his night full of singles, his OBP remains at .335. But hey, if bumping month old threads gives you that funny feeling, more power to you.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 21, 2007 -> 08:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Over the last four weeks, Erstad has had the MOST clutch RBI's, like Sunday against the Cubs and tonight. AJ had 4 clutch RBI's in one swing against the flubs.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 21, 2007 -> 07:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Erstad=most clutch hitter on Sox this season Thome has a 1.462 OPS with RISP. Grinderstad has 16 RBI's in 33 at-bats, but Uribe has 15 RBI's in 24 at-bats.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 20, 2007 -> 09:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dumb Cub fan line of the day: After JD's homer, a line shot into the teeth of the wind, the dope next to me decked out in Cub gear referred to it as a "cheap" homerun. How many front row/basket shots did the Cubs have this series?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 20, 2007 -> 06:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was thinking about getting it, but in the end I didn't. I mean, how much are you really going to use it? Most of the minor league games take place when the Sox games are going on, so even if you have the MiLB game on your computer and the Sox game on your TV, how much attention are you really going to spend watching the computer? Also, I don't think the quality is very good. The camera view from CF is (usually) from a lower spot than the CF batting eye in most major league spots. That being said, I don't think it's terribly expensive, and if you believe that you'll actually make use of it, then why not? Because Soxtalk is filled with established minor league scouts who have worked all over the place.
