QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 11:09 AM) Bernstein just flat out doesn't like Pods, he calls him an average player having a good year. He felt voting Pods in was stupid because he's not deserving. Boers said the whole the was too "Des Moines" for him. Saying that voting for him to get into the ASG makes us look like a bunch of hicks. What an idiot. Even if Pods is an avaeage player having a good year, so what? That's exactly how you're supposed to vote. Based on who is having the best first half of 2005. Almost everyone gets voted in, it wasn't just Pods, what a twat.

She can look so different from picture to picture. How old are they both?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 08:52 AM) So now that I've prayed for the families of the injured and dead, as well as the British people, can I hate the soulless islamo-fascists now? or do I have to listen to another "Christianity produced the crusades" lecture? Last time I checked there's only one major religion doing the killing lately. If we can blame Catholic leadership for the preist pedophile scandal, I don't see why we can't blame Muslim leadership for the death of thousands upon thousands of people. Nuke Cleveland should change his name to Nuke Muslims It's good to see people not generalizing or making blanket statements about an entire religion.

London was SO excited about getting the Olympics, the timing couldn't be more cruel. Blair looks devastated. Prayers for the families and rest in a better place for those killed.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) Gotta go with Kreuk...anyone who watches smallville knows she is hot s***. Jolie is a pretty sexy piece of ass too. She looks like an alien............ but I'd still put her legs up.

Let's get him a nickname.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) I could care less if he molested sheep and set fire to them after he performed a satanic ritual with their remains. The dude throws 99 and is filthy as all hell. Just throw it near the strikezone. THIS DUDE IS OFFICIALLY UNTOUCHABLE. TRADE THE FREAKIN FARM AWAY BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK OF GETTING RID OF JENKS. I don't care either, was just wondering if it was the same kid. Let's not get carried away, I'll wait to see him a few more times.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:17 PM) He had some "Attitude" problems in the Anaheim minors...he got in a fight on a bus, bounced around between their minor league teams, he's always been rumored to be very immature...they even did an outside-the-lines about him last year and how he could throw 100 but had attitude problems. He does have some actual emotional problems I believe...had a hard childhood, etc. His attitude was why they left him unprotected last year. Now he's gotten married, has another year older, and he's suddenly in the big leagues and looking all right with this team. Is this the same kid who went to a team pool party, got drunk and was harrassing the owner's daughter???

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) Control and his attitude. attitude? explain.

whats' the knock on him? Control? Lotta walks?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) "Ozzie what'd you think about seeing Jenks" "Good Fastball"..."Did a tremendous job"..."I know he's not afraid, that's 1 thing I like, I like the attitude and the body language on the mound" He was pumped after the final out.

I bet he can get it over 100 MPH. That's a big boy and he didn't look like he was really letting it fly. But yeah, more control with it will make him deadly.

what's the update on this?

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 12:42 AM) I'm a hockey purist you could say. Fighting is part of the game. There is a difference between "goonery" and fighting, though. The number of pure fighters has gone down in recent years, as has the number of fights, IIRC. Hockey is a rough sport, and checking is a beautiful part of the game. As a result, fisticuffs take place. The problem is, Rex, if you completely take fighting out of the game, you know what's going to happen? Stickwork and cheapshots will go up. Yeah, you can threaten them with suspensions all you like. But i've played the game for years, and even at travel and high school levels, it gets very intense. In the NHL, fighting is an outlet to let the guys let off some steam. I don't like the fans who are only there for the fighting. Are fights exciting? Sure. Am i there just to see them? Certainly not. It has it's time and place. I don't like brawls, and i don't like cheap play. There's a reason fighting basically disappears in the playoffs. I don't follow hockey too closley, so (for once) I'm not being a smartass here, but when is the right time and place for a hockey fight?

Two words come to my mind right away. the fist one is "f***' the second is "no".

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 01:49 AM) They wanted to be home, not driving around the town calling his name. That's still pretty f***ing selfish on the team's part. Yes, he walked off on his own, but for all they knew, something bad might have happened to him.......yet all they could think about was how it was an inconvenience for them?? Sound like a bunch of pricks to me. ....and people wonder why kids sometimes 'go Columbine.'

I'm gonna check in once an hour. The rest of they day, VOTE!

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 10:05 PM) They are good enough to be in the postseason, but look at how they do against quality pitching and quality teams Beating Tampa Bay is one thing....beating the ANgels and Red Sox in the playoffs with their pitching and batting line up is another Enjoy this season....I am doing it too.....but hopefully Kenny realizes this team may have issues in the playoffs and does something about it I'm with you. I'm having a good time, but I'm ready for the second half to get going so we can get to the meat of our schedule and have a real gauge of where we stand for the post season. There's a lot of baseball left, a lot of games against Minny and Cleve. and the injury bug has been mostly kind to us. My concern is that the toughest part of our schedule comes AFTER the trade deadline. Beating up on the TBs and KCs might give KW a false sense of where the team stands and casue him to not make a deal.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 11:32 PM) Intonation baby...2 days for 22.00 Yeah we talked about that in another thread. Too many weird bands in that for me. I like Indie stuff, but a lot of it is just weird for the sake of being different and not very good. But there a couple of cool bands on that bill.

This team showed a lot of confidence tonight. It never seemed to press, you knew the hits and the win was coming.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 11:05 AM) Some good bands playing, and lots of bands I just don't want to hear, I thought about it, but now I'm not so sure, how expensive are tickets? That's exactly the problem, I'm gonna have to sit through bands I have no interest in. I got a pre-sale price of $35.00 total for both days. It's up to like $115.00 I think.

His choice might depend on whether or not he plans to play next year. If he's retiring after this year, he'll want to go to a real contender now. If he's returning next year, he might just finish off this year in Houston. No?

Anyone else going to Lolla in a few weeks? At first I was really excited, now I'm not sure I can make a commitment of two full days.
