Do you put him on to set up for the DP?

Well now have to walk him.

So should we just walk Manny now that it's 1-0?

Ya'll... man... AJ's staying in for a reason.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:47 AM) No urgency by Ozzie to get an extra run there. I thought we added another catcher to have some flexibility late in the game? OMG. Fathom, use your head. You're better then that.

Sooooooo... does anyone remember Labor Day last year? In Boston... BMac on the mound, half the team in Chicago because it was a rain makeup date. I like that karma.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have anything to worry about. That family clearly did something wrong. They paid down their credit card debt, thus hurting the profit margins of the large credit card companies. This is a greivous crime. Yea, no s***, Balta. The damn credit card companies are like the mafia now.

This year is TOTALLY different. The comparisons to last year needs to stop. In fact, EVERY year is different. We need to remember last year for what it was, a wonderful memory, and watch this year's team fight for their playoff lives. If they make it, it's a wonderful followup to last year. If they don't, they're still my team.

Nice. So that check I just sent is going to get me a call from Homeland Security?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 03:04 AM) Isn't it ironic that for all the rest Ozzie has given his regular players, he has given his starting pitchers none? For everyone that b****es about the starters pitching too much (and there is a good case here...) ask yourself why... it's because the pen's not much better. Our pitching all the way around is the problem, and we're just trying to get through games right now. The good news is, so is everyone else.

I'm getting really f***ing tired of seeing s*** like this. Give it a rest. The rest of your post, I can understand.

He was quite possibly the worst actor of that time period. But that show was WAY ahead of it's time... as evidenced by almost all the space stories to evolve from it.

I don't know if I have that long right now. I'll try to read this sometime soon, cause I think it's interesting. Besides, technology like this, if it's done right, is a great investment opportunity.

So this is the grass clippings ethanol that's been talked about? Basically compost type of material, except it doesn't rot, it is turned into ethanol. I think that is a pretty interesting concept.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 02:19 PM) Although, that is on the assumption we continue to use corn for ethanol. Other ag products seem to have much higher energy output. Really? Like what? I'm curious.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 06:34 AM) Ethanol currently does almost nothing to cut into our energy demand. Nor will it ever, by some estimates. I forget where I read that, but it would seem to be a farce to think that it will ever come to the amount of energy to even make a dent on our oil consumption.

So this puts us 4 back in the loss column. We need to gain 2 in the next 10 days to have a shot, IMO.

Down to $2.45 around here for the Labor Day weekend. It went DOWN 20 cents this week before the holiday... I was shocked. Heard on the news, assuming we don't get any storms this year or there's nothing stupid geopolitically, we could see about $2.20 around Thanksgiving. I never thought I'd see that again.

Well, now we're into the BMac as savior mode again. I just am not in the camp that thinks he will get it done. But, you all may be right in this case that something else needs to be tried to 'shake things up'. I'm just not sure BMac is the answer, but what would it hurt to try, seems to be the sentiment. Be careful what you ask for, tho...

You assume that these people are going to destroy things only because the US is there? If we leave it will get WORSE, not better, because they are going to make damn sure to split Iraq in about 4 pieces. THAT is what this is about, not the US presence there.

Hey, did you wave when you went through Dallas?

Happy Birthday you old bastard.

QUOTE(Damen @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 07:36 AM) What about appeasement do you understand? We can't negotiate with these people, nor can we withdraw our troops now. Any talk of this is 'appeasing' the terrorists and basically giving in to say it was too tough to do. It can't happen, or they will become even more emboldened then they are already because they know that we don't have the stomach for it over the long haul. Yes, it's that important.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 05:50 PM) TWX merger, or good news? TWX Merger. No news. Just working along. Or something. TWX is a lot different. Some things are really awesome, and some things are just plain different. Over time, it will be interesting to see which way works better.
