Bo Jackson knows baseball and I haven't heard much about Albert Belle, Noberto Martin, Darren Lewis, Danny Tartabull and many others.

lol it'll be like 5 hours long.

The Sox have a 5 game winning streak, that's all I care about. But it doesn't matter to me how long they go winless. I'd like Cleveland to have a similar streak too.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 12:07 PM) The 2005 White Sox had a 7 game losing skid in August. Yeah and nearly everyone on this board thought the season was going to be over, and even in September the playoffs started to be questioned with Cleveland's surge. Point is we're roughly 5% into the season with 95% left, so it's far from over. In terms of football it's basically like Detroit as lost the first game of the year and the season's over. It's far from other I won't count them out.

I would say no because to me, it seemed like nearly everyone except Thome was having a career year at the plate in 2006 if I remember right anyways. I think we have a much better shot at 900 than the Tigers do at 1000. I can't remember who said they would, but someone from ESPN said they were going to score a 1000 runs.

Jazz beat the Hornets last night. DWill out did CP3, but I don't know if you can call it out doing. Both were 2-11 with 4 points. Williams had 16 assists, Paul had 9 assists.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 10:44 PM) Sure, it's bad looking, but stuff like this is what makes a team bond. I really believe that baseball is the sport that benefits the most from team unity. Eventually, someone from management will step in and tell them to clean up their looks, but the bonds will have already been formed between the players. Yeah I agree. As long as their winning I could care less.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 06:40 PM) Purely doubling the points and having the winner worth 32 pts is stupid. If you think it's stupid that's your choice. But that was how they did it the past 2 years and I didn't know they changed it to 1,2,4,6,8,10.

I hope I get a change when I go home on Friday, I haven't weighed in for a few weeks.

I guess I'd rather have them 0-9. In the span of a season, if they got their first win against us it's not a big deal to me. I don't want to give them an extra win because I think they'll turn it around eventually.

I don't want to talk to Hugh G. Rection right now. Too much male bonding going on.

Agree I Do.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 06:19 PM) China's number one priority is national unity, ie keeping Taiwan, Tibet, East Turkestan and whoever else may want to separate under Chinese control. It's been that way for quite a long time now, and it's not like it's just came up since they were selected to hold the Games. I believe Chinese reunification is a prominent ethos in the Chinese political culture, and people might want to check out the 2002 movie Hero to see that. I'm not sure what protest is going to do exactly, and I certainly don't support nimrods running and grabbing the flame from innocent young athletes. Protesting the opening ceremonies for some politicians may be a decent option, but frankly, unless you're going to go all the way and really boycott now, and forever, a policy of engagement seems superior. Hmmm, like Russia? Who has an Olympics in 2014? Whose behavior is appropriate enough? Oh wow, this might be the first time we agree on something, haha. I can't remember anything else, but it's a very good day when we can actually agree.

haha it's making me question if the Sox are a good team or not with the continuous losing they're having.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 04:44 PM) All players should wear #42 that day, and the players that don't want to honor Jackie Robinson in that way can pretend that they are honoring Douglas Adams. haha or Mo Vaughan's #42 I don't mind if everyone wears it. I don't think it should be mandatory to players for wear it but if they want to it's ok. People like Torii Hunter last year pissed me off when he was mad that white guys or a lot of guys were wearing it because they didn't understand what he went through. I don't think Hunter went through what Robinson went through so I didn't understand where he was coming from. It's ok for everyone to wear the number for a day. I think it's a great honor for Robinson, and his number is already retired by every major league team, which is one of the greatest honors anyone can have.

DAMNIT I spoke too soon. I didn't win I finished 4th. I didn't know how they did the bracket points wise until today. Instead of doubling the points like most brackets do, or something similar to that, my work company did it like this. 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. The winner got 97 points, second and third tied with 96 points and I got 95. Only the top 3 win so going 1 for 4 in those 8/9 mathups screwed me over. But if they did it like a normal bracket I would've finished 2nd since one of the 2nd place winners also had Kansas winning. 2005 and 2006 I finished in 5th, this year 4th.

I don't know how China got the Olympics but it doesn't matter much anymore. There is no way the US should boycott the Olympics like they did in 1980. As said before, politics and athletics are separate things. I don't know much about the Tibet problem either, but if China is going to be in the fore front for the Olympics, they're going to get hammered about it.

woohoo I just made some money in my bracket!

5 in a row, I never would've guessed it after the 0-2 start. Great comeback win today.

At the time we traded him we had a surplus of young outfielders as well.

At least his pitch count is getting high just like Javy's.

when Uribe's not trying to save the world with his monster homerun swing, you can see him at the buffet line.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 03:31 PM) Whatever the small ball people will say...The Twins giving Javy the free out before their 8 and 9 hitters, I'll consider that a good thing. Come on Javy. That was just a free out basically.

Kubel is fat.

the Twins piss me off.
