Thats great, truly great

The last one was my favorite of all batmans, so I got no problem with them rehashing another one of the old's and kind of re-doing the whole thing. As long as they don't start getting cheesier and cheesier like the originals got.

The girl is naked and probably figures no one would ever notice, but instead she's standing behind Penelope Cruz (or at least I think thats who it is) so the media is taking a ton of pictures.

That sucks...I always thought it was cool how they had one major event.

I do have one...got convinced to get it and I don't mind it cause its a nice way to keep up with casual friends you don't necessarily hang out with, but talk to from time to time and ocassionally bump into.

QUOTE(whitesoxin @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 09:24 PM) I've tried doing that, and it said that the I-Pod was being update in I-Tunes and the I-Pod itself said "Do no disconnect" but then the songs weren't loaded. It takes a long while. The other thing I'd do, just go into the apple store they are real friendly and helpful. Just tell them whats up and they will probably explain things. You may just have to reset the ipod and reinstall everything.

Yep, its all gone.

QUOTE(rowand @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) pods and mack are two of the worst outfielders I have EVER seen. Dye is above average. Anderson is well above average. Pods and Mack will continue to cost us runs, but if they can get on base, I guess we will have to take it... Mack is actually a pretty damn solid corner outfielder. The problem is we are trying to put him in CF. Just think if we moved Dye over and asked him to play center. I understand slamming Pods' defense but Mack doesn't deserve to be slammed. Mack is trying his best and its not his fault the manager is putting him in a position that he can't possible succeed at.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) I was watching ESPN the other night and Ortiz has an incredible amout of walk off hits the past 3 seasons. It almost would make me walk him and get to Ramirez. Ya how ridiculously clutch has he been. He's more clutch than JOSE

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:27 PM) Why do I look at Thome and thing any joint pain he may have is probably the gout? I think back to King of the Hill where Bobby Hill gets gout

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:22 PM) Black Mack is a back of the pen type. True, I just like the idea of using him a lot so he gets his stamina up a bit and maybe with all that work he could find a feel for all his pitches. Something he's really lacked all season. Plus I have some concerns if we do throw him into our rotation next year because he'd have had a down season this year in terms of innings pitched and I would have prefered to see him in the pen for part of the year and than again in the rotation for part of the year so that he could have continued to build arm strength and stamina the right way. Bmac is young so we do need to be careful and giving him some innings may help us now and in the future (next few years).

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) FOCKING Awesome for JC not giving up that run! I hope the whole pitching staff was watching He definately stepped up, but that has to be about the most pitches any starter has thrown in baseball all season (especially for the Sox). 123 or so.

QUOTE(BamaDoc @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) Four run lead is made for back of the pen guys. I'd rather throw Bmac at this for a few innings. He's capable of it and if all goes well he's the only guy we'd have to use. That or Mac one and MacDougall one. No reason to use our main guys and Cotts needs a freaking rest cause he has been stinking it up.

119 pitches for Contreras right now. This is a freaking joke. We are winning by 4, no reason to do this.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:16 PM) The bullpen is spent. Unfortunately for Contreras his pitch count and the temperature are pretty much the same right now. Riske still scares me in tight situations. Ya, I'm not too confident in Riske. He's a solid back of the pen guy.

QUOTE(BamaDoc @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) Why is Contreras still in? 106 pitches starting the inning. I don't like this...Mac hasn't pitched in a few days, ride him out and stretch his arm. No need to push our starters any more. They've been pushed enough this year.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) Thats not the point. You can complain about him all you want, but in nearly every single post of yours, there's something about him sucking, even though he's doing quite well as of late. Agreed. Its one thing to make a legitimate point...its another to constantly whine and add nothing. The posts aren't well thought of and just ridiculous. QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) Haha. So true. Every guy has to have a mancrush, mine just happens to be Brian Anderson. Ask my friends; they'll tell you. Its true...just ask a lot of the Rowand fans.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 06:32 PM) I'm just grateful we got the good Thome this season. He's been better and more consistent than I thought he would be this season. People forget how many 3 run homers he hit for us earlier in the year that gave us enough cushion to win. I don't want it to sound like I don't like Thome. I just think Paulie and Dye are more valuable. Thome is a big reason why we are where we are and its not fair for me to blame a player for our own manager changing his strategy. Just like its unfair for us to blame Mackowiak for being in CF or even hoping we'd trade for an everyday CF since it would put an end to Mack ever playing CF. Or the idea of not standing pat with our rotation and being proactive and seeing what Brandon could do. The bottom line is, we don't trade Javy at a poor value to make room for Brandon, if we like Brandon, the manager needs to make that call and try to spice things up, just like the manager needs to get his head out of his butt and play Anderson 6 games a week and just like the manager needs to try more hit and runs with guys like AJ, Guchi and even Dye.

Quick 1-2-3 inning for Count. He needed that and hopefully he can get a few more of those and end this game on a positive note. He hasn't been bad, he's just not pitching as agressive (throwing strikes) as he was earlier this year and for a large chunk of last year.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 06:23 PM) I love Thome's approach. He walks a ton. Homers a ton. Strikes out a ton. Most of his at-bats wind up at 3-2, and he's got no problem taking a walk if he's gotta. Dye wouldn't be anywhere near this good this year without Thome in the lineup, IMO. This is his career year, I think. I consider him an acceptable verison of Adam Dunn (who I think is absolute GARBAGE). I don't think you play winning baseball with these guys unless you have some good baseball players around em. I prefer all around players and I think in general, the best teams in baseball are usually filled with those type of guys. However, Thome is able to hit for a solid average which and since he's DH'ing he isn't playing terrible defense (like Dunn) so he's a nice part of the lineup.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 06:15 PM) You'd take Gload's over Thome? Different strokes for different folks, but, while I appreciate Ross a lot, I'd rather Thome, thanks. I'd take Gload's approach over Konerko's every once in a while, but not too often. Thome's just something special in our lineup. I despite Thome's approach. Like the guy and I think he's made the rest of our hitters really good, but what he does doesn't add up. His numbers are ridiculously good though. I'm not a fan of pure sluggers. I'll take Dyes and Konerko's and with Thome Ozzie has gotten way too pathetic as a manager.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 06:14 PM) Count's given up 3 runs in the first 2 innings? What's going on? He's not the ace everyone thought he was and hasn't been ever since he screwed aroudn with all the extra arm angles (not just the couple he used to throw at opponents).

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 06:13 PM) That was my first thought. I'll take Gload's approach. I think it will do good things. He's being rewarded right now (although its cause Thome/Konerko had some injuries) and he's responding quite well. He's really got as good of an approach as any hitter on this team.

Anderson flies out to deep left center.
