Spiff

I want one bad, I don't care who we beat. Being around Red Sox fans last October just made me want one that much more.

That sucks but I don't understand why the rest of the team would be so angry at him. Confused, yeah, but I don't see why they'd wanna kick his ass.

We've been trying to have people keep the sigs to a decent size, because even though I like them it does get to be a pain in the ass to have to scroll through a ton of them. As for the amount of concrete thoughts versus mindless chatter, well I think you need a little of both.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) Wow, almost 1/3 of his runs are unearned. We are raising some Valentin's down there it looks like Jose De Los Santos already has 16 errors at 3B, and Ryan McCarthy has 9 at shortstop. So yes, it would seem your hypothesis is correct.

What! How does that work?!?

Atlanta is awesome; even though it's big it's easy to get around. Salt Lake is pretty nice. Philadelphia's hallways (is that what you call them?) are too narrow, but it has a lot of stores and restaurants. LAX is weird cause it's all sectioned off, I don't think I like that. Hartford is nice enough, no real complaints there. I don't even remember much about Oakland, except that finding everything was confusing as hell. They had all these sectioned off areas and if you accidentally left one you had to go through the metal detectors all over again. It made no sense.

Tex on why ESPN favors the Marlins... QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) Here's 2005 MLB attendance figs: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/attendance Marlins rank 27th, ahead of only Cleveland, KC, and The Rays.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) I'm not trying to be insensitive, but why the hell was he on the track then? Probably because they need all the volunteers they can get.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 09:28 PM) There is arguably no better defensive firt baseman in the league. He is one of the fastest first baseman if not the fastest. Not many first baseman can go first to third like he can... he is also a pretty good base runner overall. Derek lee = paul konerko, their career number are pretty similar. Obviously I know he is awesome defensively. I'm talking offense. It's not like PTI is talking about whether Lee can lead the league in zone rating and fielding percentage. What I meant was that he was always middle of the pack offensively when it comes to first basemen, and now all of a sudden he's blowing up.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 06:12 PM) Juggernaut, while Silva does not get a lot of stikeouts, he does not walk a lot of batters either. He gives up a lot of hits, but also induces a lot of double plays None of their pitchers walk many people; their BB/9 stats are ridiculously low compared to other staffs. So I agree that low K numbers don't really tell the story (especially considering what Silva did today).

Brewers just tied it 6-6.

The womens world record is 22.63m (24 yards). So I'd say at max it went 20 yards. The basic idea is that you have to pay attention at all times at a track meet, and 77 year old men are not always the most aware, nor are they the quickest to react.

CBS has Price is Right, CSI, Letterman. Fox is a close second because of 24 and Family Guy. Anyone who saw Family Guy sunday knows that was by far the best one this season.

Derek Lee already with 2 homers today. I don't know what the f*** is going on with this guy. He went from a below average/average first baseman to a triple crown guy. It's like Sosa all over again.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 01:51 AM) In most states, life imprisonment is actually cheaper than the process to implement capital punishment. From Deathpenaltyinfo.com In California, capital trials are six times more costly than other murder trials. A study in Kansas indicated that a capital trial costs $116,700 more than an ordinary murder trial. Complex pre-trial motions, lengthy jury selections, and expenses for expert witnesses are all likely to add to the costs in death penalty cases. The irreversibility of the death sentence requires courts to follow heightened due process in the preparation and course of the trial. The separate sentencing phase of the trial can take even longer than the guilt or innocence phase of the trial. And defendants are much more likely to insist on a trial when they are facing a possible death sentence. After conviction, there are constitutionally mandated appeals which involve both prosecution and defense costs. Most of these costs occur in every case for which capital punishment is sought, regardless of the outcome. Thus, the true cost of the death penalty includes all the added expenses of the "unsuccessful" trials in which the death penalty is sought but not achieved. Moreover, if a defendant is convicted but not given the death sentence, the state will still incur the costs of life imprisonment, in addition to the increased trial expenses. For the states which employ the death penalty, this luxury comes at a high price. In Texas, a death penalty case costs taxpayers an average of $2.3 million, about three times the cost of imprisoning someone in a single cell at the highest security level for 40 years. In Florida, each execution is costing the state $3.2 million. In financially strapped California, one report estimated that the state could save $90 million each year by abolishing capital punishment. The New York Department of Correctional Services estimated that implementing the death penalty would cost the state about $118 million annually. And if we get into the philosophical: Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated can be compared. For there to be an equivalency, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him and who, from that moment onward, had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life. -- Albert Camus The issue wasn't really whether prosecuting capital murder is more expensive than other cases. It was, I think, whether life in prison costs more to the state than executing the prisoner, which your blurb even said it did. So goldmember wasn't wrong with what he said, or implied. And really, when someone kills four cops the state has no choice but to go for capital murder. Money becomes irrelevant. I think the jury probably should have given him the death penalty; even though I myself don't believe in it, all signs in a case like this point to it. And then of course there's always the possibility that the judge rejects the sentence. Unlikely, but not out of the question.

Those last couple that credespopup posted and the one kalapse posted before about the wizard hat are from another site with tons of chat logs where people just get screwed with. I can't find the actual site anymore, I think I saw it like two years ago originally. But someone posted a lot of them here .

I ok'd a trade of Tex for Johan. I know Tex has been killing the ball lately, but I need another solid starter. My staff is Peavy-Oswalt-Buehrle-Eaton(hurt now) and David Wells. I have 4 closers (F. Cordero, Looper, Street & Turnbow) so my K's and wins screw me over. My team has lots of power already, with Posada, Utley, Ensberg, Bay, CLee, Vlad and Frank. BTW it's a 12 team league. I think I made the right call. Anyone else got an opinion?

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 07:23 PM) Now that the sox are winning you're a fan? We really need you as a fan. really you're no better than all the cub fan bandwagoners in 2003. Thats just my take. I may be alone on this, I don't care. How about stop being an ass and read the announcement about sig sizes?

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 05:20 PM) im so happy we get to get some revenge Even if they win, I wouldn't exactly call that revenge.

Shingo in June: 6.2IP 1 ER 2H 2BB 9K

QUOTE(zach23 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) Not one from Caddyshack or Holy Grail. Blah! They have one from Caddyshack toward the end.

awesome stuff

Good effort by Felix.

Speed of Sound is terrrrible. Compared to the first album it sounds like total garbage. No life to it at all, just him whining in a key that is better suited to dog whistles.
