Anyone to get rid of Cliffy.

How many teams have gone 11-1 in the playoffs? Come on, no '05 Sox?

The starters haven't done well lately, and every team has stints during the season where they don't play well. The nice thing is, our team is so good that we aren't playing well and still winning at a championship pace. I believe that it's a safe assumption that our starters will return to form sooner rather than later, with the possible exception of Vasquez, who seems to always underachieve. (However, the Cooper fix took almost a year on Contreras, not that I advocate promoting a season of mediocrity before he does well.)

Wow, those are absolutely huge changes.

I'm only disappointed because I wanted to see Anderson rock some ass again before he serves his suspension.

A lot of pro-life supporters will say abortion is okay in cases of rape, but with our justice system it takes much longer than 9 months to prove someone was or wasn't raped. The abortion couldn't be done with proof of guilt or innocence.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) Here is a discussion question on that topic... Which would be more effective - creating a viable third party, or having the leaders of one party or the other drag the party back towards the middle? I think if another party was formed, eventually one party would end up falling out of favor and we'd be back to our two party system.

That's crazy, driving 40 miles south to Bloomington-Normal without asking would get my ass kicked at home. I wouldn't even think about trying to pull that kind of stunt.

Almost clever, could have been pulled off much better. Just pales in comparison to SNL, which sucks nowadays.

I recall reading about Refrigderator Perry a couple years ago, and when he was drafted he was one of only two or three in the league that were above 300 pounds and he was encouraged to get under the 300 pound mark. Now

Did anyone else get the notion that he pulled Tracey for not hitting that guy?

I agree, I've been sitting here laughing for about 5 minutes. I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face knowing I was gonna look like that.

i'd like to know how they got that done.

I know a lot of guys in college that have used it to meet potential new friends when new at college and a couple found girls they had talked to around campus on there.

I love this thread.

I venture to say Anderson's defense is as good or better than Rowand's. The offense of course is no comparison.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) Do you think he was happy with his performance with the angry smiley? Sometimes green isn't needed for sarcasm. I guess I got "Kalapse'd" as you guys keep saying. My computer is sporadic in its loading of images, so I'm not always seeing all of the smileys.

QUOTE(Jim Spencer @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 08:46 PM) Hey, Jeff Nelson did a fine job tonight I really hope you're kidding.

I am sick and tired of watching Mackowiak cost us runs in center field on plays that should be easy for someone of his supposed ability, and very easy for Anderson. If it is behind him, Mackowiak for the most part has no chance of catching a ball and if he is forced to run a very long way he often ends up in poor position to catch the ball. He's nearing Pablo Ozuna defense out there. Anderson covers as much ground as Crash in center and sometimes appears to possibly be better, I'll let him develop in the 9 spot for that exchange on defense.
