Hey guys, lets go in the chat. The place has been bumpin lately and should be today with the Flubbies being our opponent.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 20, 2005 -> 02:37 AM) I'm approaching this series with a bit of trepidation. If you remember a few years ago, the Cubs were playing very good baseball and a struggling Sox team came in and swept them. It was the start of huge downward slide for the Cubs that they never recovered from. The Sox need to take this series, besides the fact that it certainly helps in the pennant race, but it could define the rest of the season as far as which team is in the spotlight in Chicago. That was 1999 if my memory serves me. It was so awesome to see the Flubbs fall apart the way they did. I think they finished something like 30 games under .500.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 20, 2005 -> 03:40 AM) Just guessing here, but I think I-40 runs through Oklahoma. It does......but it also runs through the panhandle of TX. Only reason I know is because I spent a lot of time on it on my way out to AZ.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 20, 2005 -> 03:30 AM) Point granted. But ... since these people in Gitmo ARE the enemy, people that have tried to kill Americans ... I really don't care if we "offend" them in way, shape or form. So, let's hypothetically say that this going on in Gitmo. What possible reason could Newsweek have for even reporting it? It is not torture. It is not inhumane. It doesn't even cause the prisoners to break a sweat. The only reason Newsweek could possibly have for reporting it is cause outrage against the US in Muslim nations. As far as I'm concerned, the problem is not that we are doing it. The problem is that Newsweek reported it. True or false, they should not have reported it. Unless, of course, they want to take their happy asses to Tehran and open a corporate office there. I think it's also worthy of note that the US bends over backwards to provide these people at GITMO with an opportunity to worship in their standard way ( to include providing them with muslim prayer rugs and markings on the pavement pointing which way Mecca is so they can face the right way when they pray ) and their meals are cooked in such a way as to not offend their Muslim sensibilities. All of these points are, of course, ignored by the media because the good things we do for these people ( even though they are enemies of our country ) dont sell newspapers/magazines. All they want to print and talk about is abuses ( real or imagined ) cause, along with blood and death, that's all that sells.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ May 19, 2005 -> 11:39 PM) Maybe if Santana strings a couple more of those types of outings together. As solid as Santana is I dont see a collapse like that on the horizon for him. Way I see it is that everyone has a bad day. He had his bad day and Garland will have one sooner or later.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ May 20, 2005 -> 12:50 AM) Nuke, on Olbermann a few nights ago, he was discussing how two former interrogators from Gitmo verified that there were widespread abuses of the Koran going on at the base even to the point where there was a public PA announcement there saying that they would stop doing it. While the Newsweek story may have had errors, there seems to be abuses that need to be addressed. Names? Pictures? You still need something more equivocal than a couple of "unnamed sources" before you can go around saying something like that. The Newsweek story was so fundamentally flawed that it required a retraction and there is still no hard evidence that this type of behaivior was going on.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ May 19, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) Dallas and Houston are the exceptions, of course (I've experienced both and know exactly what you're talking about). The big difference is that in Illinois and Indiana, the flow of traffic in rural areas of I-57 and I-65 is about 80 mph. People don't drive like complete dickheads in the rural areas and around the smaller towns in Texas (it's more like 5 over and rarely more than 10). I'm going to no games in the foreseeable future. Not until the Colts come down to kick some Texan ass. I know the speed limits on I 40 are 75 MPH. Is that the same throughout the open areas of TX?

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 19, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) But we are trying to build bridges with average, normal, sane, Muslims. We cannot write off the entire population. Being falsely accused of desecrating their holy book in the print media isin't helping in that endeavor. Retraction or no retraction the damage is done.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ May 19, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) Thats another thing I forgot to mention...their taxes are over $500,000. They cant afford that either. There was a thread about the whole "Extreme Makeover" deal a while back where that was brought up. Its really nice that these shows fix up peoples houses and such but often times those same families get priced out of their own homes because of the proprety taxes as a result.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 19, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) What is with Busty's obsession with summer heat? First he says that black players can handle the heat better than white players which was proven to be completely wrong and now he says that the heat heals injuries. Is this guy smoking the same stuff that DJ is? I'm willing to bet that Dusty believes in voo-doo and faith healing as well.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ May 19, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) If Timo is on base, that means he's playing. I don't like that. I'd much rather have Ozuna or Willie mess with his head. Posednik? Can you imagine what Pods is going to do to Zambrano if he gets on base?

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 18, 2005 -> 11:11 PM) Considering the fact the White Sox haven't exactly had the most stellar history of all teams, out there, with dozens of Hall of Famers, I was wondering if Mark Buehrle has become your favorite Sox player of all time. He gets the ball and pitches it w/out bleeping around. He has a good personality with the media and fans. He has never been a brat with his contract. Mark B is creeping into my top five Sox of all time. Here's my top ten, Keep in mind that I'm only 26 and haven't seen a lot of the greats from before the 1980's 1. Robin Ventura 2. Frank Thomas 3. Carlton Fisk 4. MB 5. Black Jack McDowell 6. Ron Kittle 7. Bo Jackson 8. Ozzie Guillen 9. Bobby Thigpen 10. Paul Konerko

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ May 19, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) Does anyone actually have a link to the article? I hear the part about the Koran was only a couple of lines. Oh yah and lol at newsweek has an agenda If they didn't have an agenda then why print something as inflammatory as this without checking their facts first. As a prominent member of the print media they have a responsibility when they're going to print something that will have an impact on US policy and US soldiers to ensure that what they're saying is, in fact, accurate. None of that matters to them obviously and as a result of their shoddy journalisim people are dead, our efforts to rebuild Afghanistan took a major hit and our soldiers were put at risk. This is inexcusable. Those responsible for running this story should all be fired.

Aint that the truth!!!! LMFAO!!!!!! I wonder what those moron flubbie fans who said he was a better lead off hitter than Pods have to say now?!?! That says it all right there.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 19, 2005 -> 06:37 AM) I have been all over AJ's nuts ever since he turned our starting pitching into gods. And looking back at our catching recent history, that just makes any offense he provides a big fat bonus. AJ is without a doubt, the biggest move we made in the off season, and he only cost us just over $2 million. I hope Kenny has a 3 year deal for this guy in his back pocket somewhere... there is no one I want to see bring along guys like Brandon McCarthy and company more than AJ. If all that isin't enough he loves it here in Chicago and is a positive force in the clubhouse. Defenitely a keeper.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ May 18, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) No, the rulebook does not mention ties. Either the ball beats the runner or it doesn't. I read a good article about this somewhere where this guy did alot of research. He pretty much ended up with nothing substantial from MLB. By that logic then the runner would be safe because in the case of a tie the ball did not beat the runner to the bag.

RIP EM!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ May 18, 2005 -> 02:09 PM) OZZIE BROUGHT HIM IN AT THE RIGHT TIME....HOLY MOLY I think he learned his lesson after back to back meltdowns by Cotts.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 18, 2005 -> 06:22 PM) Dye and Konerko getting going, gives this offense a whole new dimension. It makes us untouchable is what it does. Those two get hot and stay hot and we'll be throwing up 8-10 runs a game.
