QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 09:06 PM) Are you f***ing kidding me Ozzie? Having Logan warm up, and not bring him in to face DeJesus? I absolutely hate the leash that Ozzie gives Contreras. Ozzie is asleep at the wheel tonight.

Another opposite field hit for the Royals. Ozzie wake the f*** up. Your boy is teh suck tonight.

We hit a home run, our ability to win the game has went up dramatically.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) Davies making Dye his b**** so far tonight. This is the worst execution we've seen all season against just a pathetic pitcher. The Royals can hit the ball the other way. This offense is the same damn thing we saw in 04. Swing for the fences, score 10 one day, make a crappy pitcher look like Cy Young the next. Corpseball.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) CQ has been brutal lately. I guess the fix that they put in a few weeks ago didnt work.

Attention offense, right field is awaiting you. Be a rebel, put the ball in play.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 08:28 PM) Clutch Crede chokes again Crede is to Longoria as Varitek is to AJ

Kyle Davies sucks. Stop swinging at crap out of the zone, stop overswinging trying to hit monsterous homers, and stop the foolish pull crap. One more inning till we get to hear Hawk and DJ talk about how Kyle is a battler, how his stuff is better than people think, and how the Royals are on the verge of winning 100 games. Hit the f***ing ball.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 08:24 PM) Dude actually still could have thrown Konerko out. I am waiting for teams to put on a dramatic shift for Pauly. If its on the ground, its to the 3rd baseman.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 08:22 PM) Really? WCIU has had him consistently at 92-94 I guess you take gun readings with a grain of salt then. The same fools who operates the sat feed with bubble gum, shoe laces, and duct tape are the same ones who bought the ebay special jugs gun they are using.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 07:12 PM) Wow this is ridiculous... Don't worry, Ozzie will make sure he gives us at least 6 innings. With Bobby not playing, he is so scared to hit his pen he will put this game in the s***ter. Get the pitcher the win over the team. Thats our motto.

Nice pathetic effort so far by the team. Man the f*** up, start catching the ball, pitching the ball and hitting the ball. I am sick and tired of making the bad Royals into a better team by playing like s*** when we play them. This team is going to lose a s***load of games. Lets take advantage of them like other teams.

LaPorta is a Boras client. So locking him up for a long time like they did with Grady isnt on the table. Boras doesnt let teams buy out Free Agent years.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jul 5, 2008 -> 05:00 PM) ya, the Blu ray was what sealed it for us. They had the HD spliced throughout the main wall of TVs and most of them looked like s*** so I asked him to hook up a blu ray and he put it on the two tvs with that Mother Earth DVD and we both liked the picture of the Samsung much more. So we just ordered it on Amazon for $2100 we got 52" Samsung 550, 3 year warranty, wall mount and a cable. They also gave us 36 months 0 interest which was better than what Circuit City offered. I know people make threads asking about this stuff a lot but you guys literally just saved us a good amount of money so thanks. My friend was ready to go and buy from Circuit City today and the TV alone would have been close to 2200. I owe all you guys a beer. Glad it worked out for you. Enjoy your TV.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 02:14 PM) What? When did you step down? Nuke is the official president. Wise is just handling his duties while he is attending to other business.

QUOTE (Jim Spencer @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 02:12 PM) Wow, What is going to happen to Wise when Paulie comes back???????? He will be the president of the Uribe going away party.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) we dont know that, why even say that though? really no need .. but whatever! You missed the dripping sarcasm of my post.

Well thank God we have Crede out there, if we had Fields he would have at least 17 errors by now.

meh Happy Birthday

That was a great game, much better than my last Greg Smith experience. My son had a blast, pretty much ate his college fund, and I picked up one of those 4th of July hats. The fireworks display was stellar. The only mess up, was that they left the parking gate locked off of Pershing. Anderson's shot was a nice high shot. Alexei's was a laser beam. Floyd's breaking pitches were on from pitch one.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Jul 5, 2008 -> 12:13 PM) Be careful when you go to check them out. Sometimes the store will alter the brightness/color settings on TVs based on which ones they want/need to sell. And you can almost always get a better price online. For instance that Samsung model is $2059 at CC, but $1799 on both Frys.com and Amazon.com with free shipping. Thats why you ask them to break out the Blue Ray or another player. If you can bring your own DVD maybe like Batman Begins or something with good dark colors to see what it looks like. They always have the same demo DVD that has lots of bright colors with slow transitions. You want to see the entire spectrum if you can.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jul 5, 2008 -> 11:41 AM) Me and my roommate are getting a TV and were torn between these two. The price difference isnt really an issue. Or if anyone knows of something better for around the same price. Sony Samsung We arent 100% committed to Circuit City but we were going to finance some of it and they have a deal on that now so we prefer to shop there. If a good deal arose we could charge the difference though. Thanks for any help. My suggestion to you is to go and see the 2 TVs. See if best buy would hook up a blue ray player with the blue ray demonstration disc and let you see both TVs at max resolution. They allowed my company to do this when we were looking for a conference room LCD. Samsung is a solid LCD brand. Another one to look at possibly is the Sharp Aquos as well. Try and see if the demo DVD they use to show these off can show you some dark images as well. The high end images and the blacks will give you a clearer picture of which one works for you. I would also recommend using cnet and other sources to see what people who have purchased both TVs say about it as well. Good luck and congrats on your new LCD.

I got to watch Smith work us over last time from the luxury of the Jim Beam section. I will be in the upper deck tonight, and wont have an all you can eat smorgasbord to entertain me. Hopefully we can hit the ball better than that day.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jul 4, 2008 -> 03:31 PM) I did not know Cincinnati was under a dictatorship. ;-) I disagree with that notion but it is a popular one. Propaganda is a powerful thing and do not think for one minute our government doesn't use it as much as those red dictators. We package it differently but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I respect our military personnel but I also respect a lot of other people who serve to protect our freedom and democracy who don't wield a gun. It seems they get far more recognition for their service than say Upton Sinclair or Jane Adams, who did quite a bit to protect our individual freedoms within our borders. The military strength of the US is not what makes this country so successful. In fact, when it is misused, which happens far more frequently than we are willing to admit, it helps detract from our strengths. I apologize for even bringing this up since I know there are strong views on all sides. I just wish we would recognize that the military is not the only reason we do not have a dictatorship. in fact, it is far down the list in my opinion. What makes this holiday special is something far more powerful than the military. The men and women of our military deserve all the praise they can get. Throughout our history, the American solider has put their lives on the line, and have sacrificed from the birth of our nation that we celebrate today through its history. Names on a paper issued a statement to the world, that we were a nation. But never forget that the blood, sweat, and tears of soldiers and their families is what drove the english out and put that paper and the nation into action. American history is filled with those individuals that help make this country better from within. Those people do not however get a chance to advance our society without a strong nation state.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 4, 2008 -> 07:00 PM) Our hitting was incredible in 2004 and we won 90 freaking games. Are you guys freakin serious? You must of added 7 wins also. They won 83 games in 04.
