  1. Because of soreness in his surgically repaired left shoulder, Carlos Quentin will take the next couple of days off. "This kid is going to be here for good and I think he was creating bad habits with his swing and it led to some soreness, but he'll be fine," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "If it was the start of the season, he could play. But rather than have him push it and lose one more week, we are holding him back. I think it's the best for him." Quentin appears to be battling Jerry Owens for a starting job in the White Sox outfield.
  2. Eventually it's going to be 60 of 70, then 54 of 70, then 44 of 70, all the way down to 0 to 70. If you can do one, you can do them all. That was a weak response to his question. Why should someone pay full price for a 10% reduction? I'm sure you wouldn't like it if a fine restaurant sat you in the bathrooms (unisex or separate,) or denied you entrance for your dinner and told you, "well during these select hours we make some accomodations to satisfy a small minority of people, so you can either stay in the bathroom or go to the other restaurant over there. Full price will still be applied."
  3. Already acknowledged in my original post. I also asked about what would happen if a group of skinhead Harvard students asked not to be in classes with jewish kids.
  4. That's a good point on bathrooms, but I imagine one strong reason for them to be separated is because it will reduce the number of Larry Craig incidents. I couldn't care less about how the church says men can't be nuns and women can't be priests. That's a private organization not funded by the public's tax dollars.
  5. Now I know Alpha Dog grades Muslims on a strict curve, but I'm betting if the KKK wanted separate bathrooms for colors and whites because it goes against their religious beliefs, they would be laughed out of this county and be labeled as racists (as they are.) Harvard is a private school so they can do whatever they want. Would Harvard accomodate a group of skinheads' request if they wished for no jews in the gym while they working out? Doubt it.
  6. Two more hits today boost his average to .375, He also had a walk.
  7. That's what a good portion of your first post was about which led to most of the following posts being about stats, and when people said things like "I like the internet because it helps me listen to minor league games or get schedules" you said they were missing the point about the internet. I really question your point about fans having more info than GM's 20 years ago, and would like to know how you know that.
  8. What are you talking about? You can absolutely destroy Rocksteady and Bebop in the first game for the NES, and he's awesome in Tutrles in Time for the SNES.
  9. How about them paying Iraqi kids to fight each other?
  10. Massive downgrade to the offense, and why wouldn't you put Joe at third and Fields at DH?

    Films Thread

    It's fun to watch it another time with someone who hasn't seen it. I pre-ordered the Blu-Ray disc for $24 at tower.com

    PS3

    That's what I bought it for, and it's great. Supposedly the PS3 has faster loading times than all stand alone Blu-ray DVD players, and unlike the current stand alone blu-ray players, it can be updated to handle future blu-ray discs that will be designed on the 2.0 profile. I guess 2.0 movies will play on a current blu-ray player, but you won't have access to the extras. I picked up the 40 GB and remote for $450 at Wal-Mart a few months ago. I don't play games as much these days, and picked up Drake's Fortune for $45 on ebay, and only played it once due to my busy schedule as well. You also get 5 free Blu-Ray movies by mail.
  13. So what? It's $10 more on a $1000 purchase. How much do you spend a year on products like this, $3000-5000? That's an extra $1 a week. Don't like the taxes? Buy s*** online. I've been doing it for years now. Free shipping too.
  14. I didn't realize the internet created OPS and RISP stats. Really a misleading title. For historical purposes, OPS was popularized in 1984 by John Thorn and Pete Palmer. Just how popular was the internet in 1984?
  15. so who has an unofficial story?
  16. Sure. Birth control pills for women would be plan A. My "John Connor" plan could be the fall out plan.
  17. I don't want to go too deep into this as I'll probably be labeled as a racist, but I made this point in the abortion threads. Make abortions more accessable/affordable to poor, black, young women who get knocked up by some immature scrub who has no intents to provide support either financially or emotional to that child.
  18. there is no White Sox "nation."
  19. Are you paying cash or loan? I'd try and spend some more to get a better car.
  20. You could still legalize and regulate drugs and keep the DEA to attack the true criminals, the black market dealers. Right now tax payers are paying people 6 figures to go undercover and arrest non-violent people buying small amounts of a non-toxic drug. That's a waste of cash.
  21. He sure was terrible in August 2006: 1.84 ERA, .95 WHIP, 10 saves He had a brutal July and even worse September sue in part by Ozzie being afraid to use certain members of the bullpen (Riske.) I can play with the dates too. From August 8th 2006 to September 3rd, Jenks' numbers: 11 G, 13.2 IP, .66 ERA, .88 WHIP, 13k's, 5BB's, 9 saves, 1 W Think that August stretch gave Ozzie a lot more confidence in Jenks. Ah f*** it, he was dreadful after July 5th all the way through the end of the 2006 season.
  22. I'm sure magic could turn into a hella drinking game. Like the number of damage points you take is equal to the number of shots you have to drink. Destroy an artifact = chug a tall boy. Beastly, wanna help us write some more of these rules?
  23. Shows how little you know about baseball. Miguel Batista won a WS ring in 2001. Javier Vazquez choked in game 7 of the 2004 ALCS. Game. Set. Match. Batista >>>>>>>>>Javy.
