QUOTE(StrangeSox @ May 13, 2007 -> 09:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If they are a student organization, they receive funds and support from the school. I'm in agreement with Tex here. There's a difference of several orders of magnitude of Nuke and his buddies cracking a racist joke amongst friends, and a school-sponsered club holding a party with racial slurs and stereotypes. Replace all of the "spics" with "n*****s" on those kids' shirts. Still seem OK to you? Just "brush it off?" These are probably the same conservative posters who b**** about Shaprton and Jesse Jackson and talk about how if somebody in their community made a remark or did something about white people, there should be an outrage but nothing would happen. They're trying to have it both ways. What would happen if a black fraternity or school sponsored organization dressed up as white people and did stereotypical "white" things at a party? I could totally see jenksismyb**** and/or Nuke complaining about it and making a crackpot shot at Jesse Jackson and/or Sharpton not being there to protest the racist events. They won't admit it though.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:09 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow...I was reading through the retirement plan and I really really dig there program. Good thing English classes aren't a requirement for an MBA. I once read that some government jobs required 80 hours every two weeks, but you decide your own shift hours. You could work 12's the first week and one 8 hours shift, and then you would be off for the rest of the next week.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 12, 2007 -> 08:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is a great cause....but these hitters have been swinging a pink bat all year. I want the Gustavo bat. It should be in mint condition with no dings or scratches anywhere near the barrell of the bat.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 12, 2007 -> 04:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hookah bars are already exempt, as well they should be. I would also hope they will revisit the ban if and when technology produces cigarettes with lower emission (can't think of a better word) or produces a better "smoke eater". Or how about businesses are required to install more/better ventilation systems to reduce the smoky atmosphere?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 12, 2007 -> 10:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> , the majority of scouts/experts in baseball would back what I say about Erstad. Prove it. How come he wasn't signed until the end of January? Derrek Lee is by FAR a better first baseman than Grinderstad. Just look at the improvement of Aramis Ramirez.

QUOTE(BearSox @ May 12, 2007 -> 10:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Erstad is better then Pujols at 1B by far. But the rest you listed are all pretty much some of the best at 1B. Teixeria is another one you should add to that list. But Pjulos won a gold glove!!!! I was thinking Teixiera, but forgot to list him.

Seriously Jason. Erstad's glove over Lee's (both Travis and Derrek,) Helton's, Meinteizixziacaiz, and Pujols. Ummmm, no.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 12, 2007 -> 10:02 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think Rowand or Uribe were screwed out of anything. Buehrle, Garland and Crede all have arguments...but it's more based on reputation and also offensive production. It's like the House of Representatives incumbency effect...once you win the GG, you keep winning it until someone takes it away, but they have to play clearly better. I'm certainly not a stathead on the Bill James side, but I believe Rob Neyer wrote an article after 2005 talking about how Uribe and Rowand (or was it Crede) were screwed out of a GG.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 12, 2007 -> 10:02 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't be concerned, Erstad is the best defensive first baseman in the majors. LMFAO! This comment tops Pratt's "He hit it hard up the middle and the Royals made a good play" comment in the game thread.

I thought Gold Gloves are a sham and mean nothing because Rowand, Buehrle, Uribe, Garland, and Crede have all been screwed out of one over the past 3 years or so.

I just had flashbacks to game 4 in 2005

See you hell Royals with cheese.

Christ almighty. Great job gooch. Love the sinkers Mac.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 12, 2007 -> 09:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just curious about what Aardsma has to do to get booty. If he doesnt give up a run? if the team wins? i went to his myspace, the booty song by the Aardsmas is hilarious. And his girl is SMOKIN Strike out the side with the bases loaded. You should see his reaction when she gets nekkid. First pic

QUOTE(fathom @ May 12, 2007 -> 09:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fantastic control of the offspeed stuff by Sisco tonight. I forgot to set the VCR on that one. I wanted to show my grandkids the epic showdowns between Gload and Sisco for the next year.

Reminds me of the Brazoban at bat in 2005

Thank God for Juan. Please win this NOW!!! Man I thought that was out of here.

So in a couple of years are we going to trade Rogowski for Soria?

Gload would've hit a granny. Nice job Thong Song. Now let's win it!

Did the 2006 White Sox have a commercial that long? Seriously, that was painful to listen to. (couldn't find the remote to mute it.) "Next year is here"

Dejesus coming into tonight: Against RHP: .277 BA, .754 OPS Against LHP: .286 BA, .864 OPS I'm betting the WGN won't run this garbage propoganda commercial come late June.

QUOTE(danman31 @ May 12, 2007 -> 08:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I feel a little better after looking at Alex Gordon's stats. .164 with 37 strikeouts in 110 at bats. At least he walks (has 13), but damn, the Royals rushed him. Those are sub Anderson numbers. Imagine how much we would hate Gordon on this board? Hell we have people on this board bashing our rookies who reach base every PA including hitting a homer.

Grienke's numbers coming in: 5.80 ERA, 1.79 WHIP So far after this game: 5.35 ERA, 1.68 WHIP

Carlos Vasquez is not Javy Vazquez. The Twins screwed that up earlier in the week too QUOTE(fathom @ May 12, 2007 -> 08:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Were you watching last night on a liner hit to center where Hawk went nuts about how great a read Erstad got on the play, and he ended up almost having to make a basket catch in front of him due to over running it? I only get WGN on out here. I hope AJ did that as a gag. Surprised Hawk and DJ didn't say he was trying to deek the runner.

Nick is getting squeezed like an orange.
