Would you bang a drunken Tri-Delt at least? Um, nevermind.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) IMO you won't see Ozuna tomorrow, but hey I've been wrong once or twice before. I'd rather give him 1 more day off, then rush him and his forearm. Cap...the avatar...I got to know.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 07:36 PM) We were little b****es this week. When I say that I refere to not properly retaliating for getting hit so much. I know they were tight games and you have to put a runner on in a tied or one run game but I feel that we didn't take care of business. It reminded me of that series last year where the Flubs hit the Buccos like 11 times before Pitt finally fired back. There was a lot of talk about how the new White Sox had plenty of guys who would protect our players but that has been hot air thus far. I know there is another series with them to even it up but I think the White Sox looked weak as far as toughness goes this week. The best course of action is to leave that whole series in Oakland. That joint really is a house of horrors. You'd like to see some payback when the A's get to town, but I've really made a conscious effort to leave that whole mess in Oakland where it belongs. It's like bizzaro world, year-in and year-out.

Well, hopefully these are just standard bumps and brusies and we'll see these two off ready to go by Monday. My biggest area of concern is an injuried Juan Uribe. He truly is this team's MVP in terms of defensive flexibility with offensive production and I'd hate to see a nagging injury haunt us down the road.

Does anyone have a ballpark estimate for Uribe's return?

Polanco huh? Hmmmmmmmmmm...where have I heard that name before.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) DuBois for Timo? I mean, DuBois is going to be trash once summer hits -- 'cause, you know, he's not dark-skinned. And you can never have too many Perez' on your team, right Dusty?

Very impressive. I wonder how many hours of research went into that 6:52 clip.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 02:40 PM) No doubt. So this was just an attempt to start a firefight. Great. Spare me. No attempt, just asked him a question. I have much to learn on the subject and acted accordingly.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) I don't think that's fair, Addy. First of all, Jim's got good questions, and second, this is a topic he has some expertise on. That said, if there's no better way of saying "biogeochemical cycle", then I wish one would be invented. He's a big boy. He can answer for himself.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 02:28 PM) And this work has guaranteed that crude oil will not be spilled to the environment at any point during extraction and transport, or that none of the combustion byproducts will enter the biogeochemical cycles of northern Alaska?? Wow, that is some piece of work. When debating anything of an academic nature, do you always carry youself with such a self-rightous, pompous attitude? I have been nothing but professional and you've struck quite the tone.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) Provide what, statistics on how a project not net carried out has done damage to the system? There has been on-site work since the early 70's. EDIT: The caribou statistic was researched in the North Slope oil fields, 80 miles west of ANWR.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) Please provide some statistics that would prove otherwise.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) Can you please cite a source for those numbers, Addy. They look like complete bunk compared to the numbers even the USGS has been throwing up. And there are a good many native peoples opposed to drilling as well, primarily those in the immediate vicinity of the impacted area. One tribe, the Gwich'in, consider the Coastal Plain so sacred to the that they will not exploit or even enter it even during a famine. Interestingly, because nearly all the Gwich'in are Episcopalian, the Episcopal Church's main office in DC has come out very strongly against ANWR drilling. This is a fact I love to throw in the face of an arch-conservative, pro-drilling, son-of-an-Episcopal-minister friend of mine, because he has no rebuttal. Quite the Pyrrhic victory though I guess, since it looks like they're going to open it up anyway. Certainly. http://www.anwr.org/ http://resourcescommittee.house.gov/

Two clips. Link

It was fun while it lasted huh DePaul?

QUOTE(winodj @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 09:56 AM) There's really very little point. The development and production will be incredibly expensive and from what I've read, the amount of oil down there isn't really enough to make a huge impact on oil prices or our foreign dependence on oil. Not to spark (no pun intended) a serious debate here: The amount of recoverable oil in ANWR, if drilled for, would make for a 45% increase in total U.S. proven reserves. The development in ANWR has also recieved not only a large majority support from both the Alaskan and Eskimo populations, but also promises to benefit both Federal and State treasures. Also, those worried about potential harm done to animals can rest assured knowning the development has no negative impact on animals. Since first developement in the 1970s, the caribou population has increased nearly 1000%. -the developement could yield over 10.3 billion barrels of oil -domestic production would increase by nearly 20% -drilling in just the 1,000 acre proposed location (.01% of the total ANWR) would produce 1 million barrels of oil a day for more than 30 years

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 09:56 AM) OH MVP has a cannon... for the ladies ...yeah, I have a muzzle for him as well.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 09:53 AM) MVPWillie also has much, much better range than Iguchi. It isn't much of a choice, but it has to be Willie over Tadahito. Agreed. But, please, let's not make it appear Cooperstown has a cannon. Famine or pestilence.

...so when he was getting his driver's license, she was being born?

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 09:39 AM) Yeah but after he had shoulder surgery his arm is no where near strong enough. ...and Cooperstown's noodle arm is strong enough?

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) Addison where around here can you pick those up? I want to give them a try. Walgreens has them on sale man. Go to the Walgreens on Green St. and they are a buck a bag. I loaded up.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) Dude, the German deli in Oak Mill Mall over on Oakton and Milwaukee has like 20 different Haribo gummy products, all top notch. The beef jerky is also exceptional. Shut up. Well, I know where I'm headed when I'm home.

YES! C'mon Paulie, little hit.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) Doesnt PK have the only RBI for the Sox this game? SB Yes, same situation and he drove in a chugging Jurrasic.
