Capn, it just came to me why the Sox had Riske go for 1.2 innings and Bmac go for 1. The Sox will probably have Riske serve his 3 game suspension tomorrow.

ALCS game 2 memories?

No Chance for Berkman. Let's get a couple of runs now

Gotta love that 6.57 record

Isn't there a better way to spend $10 million? If you're satisfied with those low standards, why don't we sign someone like Mark Redman instead?

QUOTE(T R U @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There have been 4 plays on defense now that SHOULD be made that werent that either kept the inning alive or allowed runners to advance to 3rd.. Garland has not thrown great but you cant tack this all on him, if those plays are made this game is nothing like it is now.. and they were plays that should be made, especially by Crede and Mack is just an embarassment out there in CF :rolly Let's put none of the blame on Garland for giving up those rocket line drives to Crede. Who was the defensive specialist that decided to try and turn a long double play on Wily Taveras and give up another run?

Widger and Garland have not worked well together this year. Against the Royals 4/7/06: 5.1 IP, 10 H, 9 ER, 3 BB, 6 K's Against the Royals 4/18/06: 6.1 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K's Against the Angels 4/30/06: 7 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 2 K's Against the Twins 5/12/06: 5.1 IP, 11 H, 7 ER, 2 BB's, 1 K Against the A's 5/22/2006: 6.1 IP, 10 H, 4 ER, 2 BB's, 5 K's so far today: 4 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 5 BB's, 2 K's

Why didn't Garland go home, or scare the runner back from third and go to first?

You always brag about your Jack Daniel's stories, and have polls about s***ty beers, but why aren't you against pot considering we were in the same situation with alcohol 80 years ago. Think about it nuke. The government banned the sale of alcohol, yet people were still finding ways to get drunk. Police were wasting their time fighting the mobs (now gangs, although not all pot comes from gangster) with innocent people getting mowed down in gun fire. Any thoughts on the comparison between pot and alcohol prohibition? If I had my choice, I wish pot would be legal and alcohol was banned, and this is coming from a non-smoker, weekend drinker who works in a liquor store.

I was just going to make a post in response to Rex's comment about throwing them all in on living community so they can molest each other and talk about the children at the bus stop. Of course, I was going to use green text.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dont people wonder why liquor and tobacco are legal, while marijuana is not? The answer is because hemp is a renewable resource that can be turned into energy, paper, and many other useful products. Henry Ford was trying to create a car that ran entirely on hemp in the early 20th century. Its a pretty in depth subject, but basically a bunch of rich guys colluded to get it originally banned (or more specifically made it so that you needed a stamp to sell it, and then made it impossible to get the stamps, effectively illegalizing it). . I think it's more because it's very easy to grow, then sell, and of course, Uncle Sam is not happy about missing out on those taxes. Maybe Kipwellsfan can help me out, but Canada is really, really tough on people possessing plants.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They are great baseball fans in Cincinnati. They know the game, they have a great baseball tradition there and they are respectful of the opposition. Pittsburgh fans are similar but they have a little more edge to them, in general. I heard a lot of them groaning with Griffey struggling, there were some jumping on Dunn's defense and countless wasted at-bats with him striking out along with scrapheaps composing their bullpen. To me it seem like there were more Sox fans on Saturday, and people that I ran into town were not going to Sunday's game because of Father's day or whatever. I was in the LF lower seats on Sunday, and a couple sections over on the foul side of the poll, there was a very large number of Sox fans. On Saturday night there were about 5 rows of Sox fans in the very back in RF. I thought their ballpark was ok. It reminded me a lot of Petco park with a gap in then the stadium on the first base side, and the LF double decker. I didn't like how the RF seats are structured, but the concourse area was designed very well (with the exception of those diagonal stairs) with a great view of the river. There were no long lines for concessions. I didn't hear any Reds fans making any comments about Sox fans, let alone the chant RockRains mentioned earlier.
