ok Thome, everyone always shifts you to the right side, and you almost always go there, continue that when there's someone on 2nd. Should've gotten him over to 3rd.

Dye almost parked it, but got a double instead.

that was terrible Dye, this is reminding me of 2003's outfield of Lee, Everett, Ordonez.

good thing it was a ground rule double.

I see the newest Sox killer is batting cleanup.

Boston looks uglier in the red uniforms.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 03:11 PM) Of all the former Sox players who never won the WS, Black Jack is the guy I wish would have. He would have been so perfect on the '05 team. I was just thinking that as well, but he's number 2 for me behind Robin Ventura.

Awesome to see the Pirates beat VT.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 03:35 PM) In my mind, I'm a four square legend. 2 square was more popular at my school, but they had so many dumb rules, it was almost impossible to get knocked out. Once in a while we'd make up a 9 square (3x3). The server was the middle square, I never got there though, only to the 7th square. They made us stop playing it after a few times because of fights.

Homerun Derby was one of my favorites to do all the way to high school. My sophomore year before games we would go to the little league diamonds and hit balls out of a 200 foot field. I like to play gym games like Crooks in the Candy Store, Bomb Ball, Dodgeball, Kickball. In our neighborhood we'd get this monsterous ball, probably 2 feet in diameter, and we'd have to kick or punch the ball and it could only bounce once, pretty fun, and pretty hard after a while. We also made up a game similar to rugby or handball without the contact. We'd used a basketball and you could only dribble it twice and couldn't forward pass it to your teammates. Anything in a yard was out of bounds and the other team got it. We played in 100 ft long part of the street.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 10:50 AM) He is on another team. Did he sign with another team, because the Dodgers DFA'd him. I was looking at the 40 man roster and it said nothing about Lucy being out, which is why I included him. How long ago did he get injured, I missed that.

That will be 3 TBS Sundays in a row since the Rays played last time. This means I get another blacked out game.

Charlie Haeger, Boone Logan, Mike MacDougal, Ehren Wasserman, hopefully Scott Linebrink because we need him when he's healthy, Donny Lucy, Josh Fields, Chris Getz, Jerry Owens, Dwayne Wise when he's healthy. I have 10 people coming up, so maybe that's too much, hard to say. There's always Pablo Ozuna too.

I'm jumping leagues so hopefully it'll work then.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 04:26 PM) the University of Illinois is paying John Edwards $65,000 to give a speech what a bulls*** waste of school funds. Yeah I'd be mad if I went there. 65k is way too much for anyone especially him.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) I like our chances in a battle of the bullpens lol thank goodness a post I can laugh at. The Filibuster is cut throat right now.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 05:42 PM) Has she even been over seas to meet with World Leaders? It's like they held a raffle at the local church and her name was pulled. Does it really matter who McCain picked? Most Obama supporters are going to criticize McCain's choice just like McCain supporters would with Biden.

Vazquez's perfect game didn't even last a batter compared to the 17 he had last weekend.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 06:01 PM) Fact Checking McCain- From John McCain: “I don’t think it’s a short resume. She first ran for office back in 1992. I don’t know what Senator Obama was doing then, but the first time she ran was 1992. That’s 16 years. I think that’s a pretty, pretty event-filled and record-filled resume." Per WikiPedia: Obama directed Illinois Project Vote from April to October 1992, a voter registration drive with a staff of 10 and 700 volunteers that achieved its goal of registering 150,000 of 400,000 unregistered African Americans in the state, leading Crain's Chicago Business to name Obama to its 1993 list of "40 under Forty" powers to be. So, while. Obama was running a massive voter registration drive on the south side of Chicago, Sarah Palin was running for city council in a town of 7000 people. And you're comparing a presidential hopeful to a vice presidential hopeful. Who's in charge? It's the president, and if we're talking about experience, McCain has more than Obama, but I agree that this experience thing should not be talked about anymore.

I would've like Pawlanty just because I've seen him talk and was impressed with him, he's also been on the McCain train the past year and a half at least, since March of 2007 when I saw McCain speak, but it's just a personal opinion of mine. I'm not upset with McCain's choice though.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 05:47 PM) It's true that there haven't been too many senators jump to President in history, but much of this I believe has to do with the Senate not being popularly elected until the 20th century. And if you were to look at it then, we have had a lot of our presidents move into the presidency that HAVE been senators. LBJ, Nixon, Kennedy and Truman. And certainly LBJ's time in the senate was invaluable to him in pushing through his legislation. Carter on the other hand had executive experience, but the Georgia legislature held little power vs. their governor, and Carter had little idea how to deal with the legislature. So in these cases I think it's fair to say that both of these positions are distinguished and prepare the president in different ways. I see where you're coming from. I was just pointing out that she has at least some experience, even if it's brief.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 05:32 PM) true, the governor is actually running things. pick some random person out of a crowd and they could have done what Obama did in the Senate (which is basically nothing). I'll agree with the governor is running things. W Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, etc have been recent presidents that were governors. There hasn't been a senator elected president in a long time. I know she's a possible vice president, but she does have some, even if little, experience at running things.

Last I checked Halladay should be starting, but not Burnett, maybe it's changed though. Kurt Suzuki is now even with us in my book.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 06:44 PM) I think "queer" can mean the same thing as strange, not always just homosexual. obviously, but most are going to think that. I can't say I'm going to have a gay old time like the Flinstones once did. Words have different meaning now.

lol I think it's funny, I wonder how the NFL will react. They shouldn't be too upset, people are gonna buy that jersey.
