FSN just showed a huge "CARLOS VASQUEZ" graphic while showing Javy's highlights from April.

Bosner was throwing a ton of meat on 0-2. I missed that last pitch he got him on because FSN went to a rear view.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ May 8, 2007 -> 04:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well ssi71 is still MIA on threadstarting, so I'll continue to pinch hit for him! I don't wanna be done starting gamethreads until sometime after we leave Minneapolis!! Go shut em down, Javy!! MIN: RHP Boof Bonser (0-1, 4.55) vs. CWS: RHP Javier Vazquez (2-1, 4.02) Capn, how about a wally pipp rule? Can't stop the mojo.

Well I should've been a little more clear, I have no doubt that smoking cigarettes will cause problems to your health, specifically to your lungs. When talking second hand smoke, we shouldn't include the figures for those who are smokers.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 8, 2007 -> 06:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lung and Bronchus Cancer U.S. Death Rates† by Race and Ethnicity, U.S., 1969–2003‡ My grandfather died of Emphysema. That's only lung cancer there, and that graph shows something like 600,000 dead people per decade. According to data from the state of California: being a bartender in the 80's gave a higher incidence of lung cancer than a huge majority of jobs in this state, including firefighters, miners, cooks, etc. Being a bartender shows a highly elevated death rate over what one would have expected, largely due to a highly elevated rate of deaths by lung cancer compared with other jobs. Like many of these sorts of data, there will always be a distribution. There will be some people who smoke for 40 years and die from something else, and there will be people who smoke for a few years and wind up with cancer. Saying that they should all be dead is simply not how things work. The data clearly shows a highly elevated risk for those working in those professions. Working as a bartender appears to roughly double, if not more than that, the risk of lung cancer. Where are the tobacco related deaths on that chart? Or are we supposed to assume that smoking is the only contributing factor in there? I also see a downward trend to levels in 1983 with the white and blacks.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 8, 2007 -> 02:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Our playoffs, EVERYTHING went our way... 1) Two calls against Escobar with AJ at bat 2) Easy ball through Graffanino, followed by Iguchi homer when we were down 3) Pods taking Lidge deep 4) Rallying against Oswalt 5) Geoff Blum? Who? 6) Rallying against Lidge to win game 2 after Vizcaino's hit off Jenks 7) Buehrle getting a save...when we close to using Ozuna as a pitcher 8) El Duque getting 3 outs against Boston 9) Cotts getting out of 2nd and 3rd, no outs, with Jenks' help against Bagwell 10) The fact that they had to lead off with Clement in a short series What about the blown home run call where the ball hit to the left of the yellow line in Houston? I think it was Lane off of Garland in game 3.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 8, 2007 -> 08:40 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We protect workers and the public all the time from unsafe conditions. Asbestos, lead paint, lead in gas, auto emissions, etc. Why is smoking different? The evidence of health risks from second hand smoke has reached a critical mass where society can not ignore it anymore. Please show this. There is evidence that second hand smoke isn't as dangerous as it's made out to be, that studies have had the final conclusion pre-determined before studying the data, and organizations referencing studies that were thrown out of court due to people cherry picking the data. If second hand smoke is so vicious, how could anyone survive the 1940's-1970's where everybody smoked everywhere? If workers in bars are working under such terrible conditions how is possibly for people to spend so much time in the industry? Shouldn't it be impossible for someone to be a bartender for 30+ years if the conditions are so bad?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 7, 2007 -> 02:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Suzyn Waldman nearly kills everyone listening to her scratchy voice. OMG, this lady makes Ron Santo, sound like one of the 4 Tenors. Her voice is enough to wake up the dead, never mind her yelling like a child when Roger shows up in the box. They played this on the Boers and Berstein show, and I had to find it. This is the same woman who declared minutes after it happened, that the Esteban Loaiza for Jose Contreras and cash was "an amazing deal" for the Yankees.

They took the video down. I guess it was one of the most watched today

QUOTE(knightni @ May 6, 2007 -> 09:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Crede and Contreras for Noah Lowry, Pedro Feliz, Jonathan Sanchez and Fred Lewis...? You just have to include Contreras in every one of your trade proposals eh?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 6, 2007 -> 07:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and Lincecum already hung the f*** out of a curveball. Victorino takes him out, and Lincecum has career era of a sideways 8. I imagine he'll still be fine. Seaking of that, Lino Urdaneta pitched 2/3 of an inning for the Mets today. 1 hit, but no runs allowed.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 6, 2007 -> 06:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> June 4-7. Yankees @ White Sox. I hope Roger pitches, and I hope the Sox beat the royal piss out of him. The series before that is with the Red Sox. Who do you expect the Yanks to have him lined up against?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 6, 2007 -> 05:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How in the hell did the Sox win that series? with the way this board has been you'd think the Sox lost 4 in a 3 game set.

Well that ends the annonying "here comes the..." and "I'm calling" posts. Just STHU and watch/listen the game

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 6, 2007 -> 04:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wish Shields was a White Sox. Your previous posts are reminding me of Chip Caray. I say "member of the White Sox." Eat Angel fans and doubters.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 6, 2007 -> 04:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So what does KW do when we go 1-7 on this road trip? Not fire/reassign Walker. Soxtalk will continue to b**** and moan.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 6, 2007 -> 04:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You should've quoted that post when you started talking about Toby and not this one. ok

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 6, 2007 -> 04:02 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What on Earth does that have to do with me saying I miss Uribe's defense after Cintron looks slow and bumbling in the field? I saw what you did with my quote. Care to explain why Ozzie's name was scratched for Kenny's?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 6, 2007 -> 03:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I miss Uribe's D. please. KW was supposed to sign TWO major league caliber backup catchers this offseason? KW was the one who put Hall in at first late in a meaningless ST game?

Quinlann was 4/15 against (not including ALCS) Buehrle coming in, but two of those 4 hits were homers.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 6, 2007 -> 03:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OUR MINOR LEAGUES ARE HOPELESS IF GUSTAVO IS OUR BEST CATCHING PROSPECT. What an idiotic thought. Seriously. Molina is not a "prospect," and we shouldn't call up our best "prospects" from the minor leagues, we should call up our best "options." Donald Lucy is a better catching prospect than Molina, but he isn't a better option. I know that is bad, but that is the position Ozzie put his team in. f*** YOU QUINLANN. LEAVE BUEHRLE ALONE
