QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 09:31 AM) If I was on the Obama campaign right now, I'd be ignoring Sarah Palin. Agreed. She'll self destruct all on her own. If they force it, then it will be "an attack".

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 09:51 AM) If the venue's ASCAP fees were paid,they had a legitimate right to use the song, as it is licensed for public performance per ASCAP. I don't know id that was the case in the earlier use of the Jackson Brown song in the McCain teevee add, or in a couple of other instabces. Still, I like Fisher's commentary: It's a nice play, actually.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 02:27 AM) The latest track is showing it move a lot closer to Galveston and Houston rather than New Orleans. I saw that this morning. As I have some family in Houston (in-laws side) I hope it doesn't.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 08:16 AM) It's a Sunday, a day game after a night game, and the night game went extras... I wonder what today's lineup is going to look like. That's another reason why it was huge to win last night's game. Agreed. It's going to be a BS lineup, so last night's W was huge. Today's a game I count on losing and hope we can steal one. Minny's going to win today.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 11:55 PM) I texted Jason to alert him that the board was down, so i kinda deserve credit for saving soxtalk, it was touch and go for awhile there. Oh sure. He doesn't even do anything anymore. He has his servants do it all. In all seriousness, I'd appreciate getting that same text because usually I can at least isolate whether it's the server co. or the software pretty quickly. I'll AIM you my stuff.

I Forgot to tell you Happy Birthday in the midst of all my board issues. Hope you had a good one.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 09:38 PM) It'll probably lose some strength over Cuba, but at the same time, it could get some back in the Gulf. If this thing is a major storm (cat 3 is the most likely senario), keeps heading for New Orleans, and people don't leave because of the false alarm last week.....it could be Katrina part 2. Obviously, let's hope that perfect storm senario doesn't play out. There's a trough coming down that might push it on west, or duck hook right back into Fla. But it's going to be another day or so before we really have an idea.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 11:38 PM) For some reason it feels like getting a 2.5 game lead over Minny takes the same effort as building an 8 game lead. And if we had an 8 game lead, it'd feel like a 2.5 game lead. This is exciting, but damn if it isn't a lot more relaxing to just go into September with a massive division lead. Well, when we last entered the Twinkie Dome, we had a 2.5 game lead. Almost a month later, we have a 2.5 game lead. I remember saying at the time if we left MN with a 2.5 game lead, I'd be happy because there's that much less left on the season. I gotta tell you - I want at LEAST a three game lead going into that series. And right now we have it... in the loss column. When we play that game in hand, I hope we get a W.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) 438 feet Is that what your wife just said?

Scary... because this one could really be what Gustav was supposed to be, and NO ONE is going to leave... they just left and they won't leave again.

Hey, the sox won a game thread I started after all the damn crashes. Yippee!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 10:01 PM) Maybe Ehren? Actually, Thornton would be a bad-ass first name.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 10:00 PM) My wife is so getting laid tonight. So you'll name your baby Jimmy if it's a boy?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 09:57 PM) You know there's no one happier than me. Great night in here guys. Liar. It was a good game thread.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 09:31 PM) Don't worry, the only psychic vision I've had in my life is when I had a dream that Kurt Cobain was dead. 10 minutes later, I woke up and went on Prodigy (old school), and that was the headline. I have killed Julia Child and the Duncan Doughnuts dude... True story. I was mocking Julia Child one day and that night I found out she was dead, and the Duncan Doughnuts dude I was talking about "time to make the dounuts and we turned on the radio and he was dead.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 09:26 PM) I really don't like Thornton staying in. This is why we shouldn't have wasted Carrasco last night. Me either. EVERY TIME I can remember him going +1 he gives up a bomb.

Well, I figure I'll start one. But I'm probably bad luck after the last couple of days. Maybe they can turn around my fortunes...

I will say that invision support is the best. Seriously. Those guys rock.

What a pisser of a couple of days here. But hey, I'm getting good at fixing things I don't want to know how to fix! I appreciate everyone's patience. I *think* I saw what caused this and fixed it, but if we're down again, I have one more piece of work that I might have to do and that would involve taking the server offline all the way (all TCS sites, etc) but I'm trying to avoid that... just FYI. Thanks!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 04:30 PM) The chants of Drill! Drill! Drill! Being a newly married man, I bet it did... d'oh! Sorry. I had to, the door was just way too open.

I guess what bums me out the most is he will lose the MVP because of this, and he's deserving.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 10:52 AM) Makes sense. Let's just hope he's ready to go for 2009. Great way to put that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 10:12 AM) Please, let then go with that junk. It'll work just as well as the 2004 stuff about whether or not Bush completed his military service in the 60's. Pretty much, and they know it. They are not going to attack that stuff, at least the ones with any sense. I say that generally, McCain will win on the issues, if he can force RSO to defend his plans on things.

That's a joke, for sure.
