Dear Texas Rangers. Teach your pitchers that our players bodies are not part of the strikezone. Thank you.

So wait a second, Scott Podsednik can play right field and hit against a lefty yet Getz can't play because he is a lefty. Oh yeah, the Dusty Bake school of handling rookies. I can't wait for beckham to come up so he can get seated against those tough righties. Pathetic.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 2, 2009 -> 09:31 PM) LOL. Canucks are going down like b****es. The old, we are down by 3 goals....how do we motivate....oh yeah just punch someone in the f***ing head. That works. LOL

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 2, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) Who the hell is going to sign a guy who couldn't beat out Scott Podsednik? Newark Bears, the Cook County Cheetas, or even the Joliet Jackhammers.

Death, Taxes and Ozzie Guillen Why don't we let the rookie who is tearing it up stay at the leadoff spot and we let Pods stay down in the 9 spot for the time being. Anderson is probably back to 4th OF duty. Of course now hopefully Ozzie minds the minor league splits and how Getz has done against lefties and doesnt turn this into a freaking platoon situation. Give it a week and Pods is your leadoff guy.

Here is why its Survivorman. Both of them are hit with the same situation, they are out of water in the desert. 1.) Les makes a solar still. Digs a hole, puts a can in the hole, pees around the cup and then puts plastic over it and then pushes the center in. The heat of the desert then evaporates the water, condensation hits, and the water drips in the cup. Les then drinks a nice cup of water. 2.) Bear of course has the same situation. He does 2 things. In the first situation, he pees in his canteen and then drinks it. Nothing is refreshing like a warm glass of piss. Sure thats an awesome idea. Then of course not to be outdone. He in a further episode, squeezes water out of some animals crap.

You have to be careful of the speedtests. Some of them are not all that accurate, and your PC can affect the results if you have something sucking down resources. Be careful of the speedtest sites. Some of the sites are charltans that only seek to sell you some bogus registry cleaner, or some other miracle program that makes your system super fast. Speakeasy DSL Speed Test

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 11:16 AM) I would think they'd be more effective in preventing you from spreading it to others since you won't be sneezing or coughing on anything. FDA on Respirators CDC Respirators. and for your one stop shopping, the pandemic flu government website Pandemic Flu.gov Now of course jackass phishers and malware types are sending out swine flu spam and phishing emails because people are stupid. I had some lady call up screaming that she wanted her swine flu email that was blocked because it could be a health related emergency. The only emergency is that the woman is retarded.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 07:58 AM) I just read that the masks do nothing because the virus is too small to be filtered by them anyway... lol. The only ones that give some small protection are N95 rated respirators. They are very uncomfortable to wear and are more expensive.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 10:42 AM) Just remember if thome cant go I wonder they put dye at dh and pods in right Nothing excites baserunners more than seeing a looping arch on the power throw in from RF. Pods in RF. Only if we are up 31-0.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 29, 2009 -> 05:20 PM) See what happens when Wilson Betemit gets ABs? And shockingly we discovered that he can hit as a lefty as well.

What a wacky response to Brian's health by Guillen. " I hope those guys appreciate Hermy, he has to be here on his day off because of those guys."

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) Ummmmm....Betemit got his hits off the relievers. Alexei hit a fastball up the middle. Anderson didn't hit anything today but his oblique muscle. Betemit got his hits off of the right handed relievers. He hits better left handed.

2 out of 3 when Bedard and King Felix are pitching is pretty good. The weather should be fine over the next week on the road, so hopefully the sox bats will explode over this trip. It will be nice to get Getz back at the top of the order.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 29, 2009 -> 04:21 PM) I don't care if Brian is hurt. DFA Owens. Question is, will Ozzie lead him off. Or will Getz still get the call.

Maybe Guillen needs someone to bring him the splits for Wilson. He is a better hitter from the left side.

So I guess the weather only affects our team. DJ making excuses.

We are giving last years bad defensive team a run for its money.

We play in the Dallas area this weekend. Where it is already summer ( as far as the chicago area is concerned )as far as temperatures are concerned. It will be quite warm for the weekend. We will line up against McCarthy, Harrison and Millwood. Then its on to KC, where its been warm as well. We face Greinke and Davies in the first 2 games.

17 for 17 on opposing stolen bases, according to the PR crew all of them are on the pitchers. AJ lurks like a panther ready to pounce on any baserunners if only he had a chance.

Thome is not a dead pull hitter. He is a dead pull hitter when he puts the ball on the ground. When the ball goes into the air, he hits all over the place. This is from last year over the season at US Cellular.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 29, 2009 -> 12:05 AM) Well luckily it looks like Getz will be in the lineup tomorrow and Thome probably Friday. Take it for the source, but after Cowley did his number on how Wise should start again because starters don't lose their jobs to injury, he stated that Getz would be out tomorrow probably so Ozzie could max his rest.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 11:51 PM) I was going to say, he drew some walks in situations against pitchers that had no command (Kazmir, Liriano). Y. Bettancourt would have walked in those situations. The problem with Lillibridge being on this roster is that Ozzie's going to find any excuse to get his "grinder" abilities in the lineup. This team needs less grinder, more talent. If lillibridge had a level swing, or even hit down on the ball he would see a ton more success. But for some reason, he thinks he has some pop. Fast guys who hit lots of fly balls guys who are out of baseball. His speed is great. Fastest guy on the team bar none. But its pointless to have all that speed when you loft the ball in the air.
