No score going to bottom of first. Yeeash our pitching has been horrendous. None of the starters is looking good right now.

QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 12:18 AM) You wouldn't even know by that article that Chicago had a second baseball team. Where does this "other" team play? My knees hurt from kneeling at the baseball shrine on the northside, so I wouldn't know about another team. How could a second team be supported? Does this other place have ivy, falling concrete, no parking, bad food, the worst team in their league, or a manual scoreboard?

I saw him at Second City once. He was here doing the local comedy club tour several times a year. I didn't think he was fall-on-the-floor funny, but he was a pretty good comedian. Comedians lead a very stange life. That stand-up comedian that hosted the Family Fued also killed himself. Then you look at the lives and deaths of John Belushi, Chris Farley and Phil Hartman.

BA just scares me. Last year, 8,9 and 1 hitters were such as disappointment. If he can hit .250 and put the ball in play most times, I can live with that.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Mar 8, 2007 -> 10:52 PM) "Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars." Has anyone ever heard that tape where Kasim freaks out about a dedication for a dead dog? Hilarious. Yes, Sunjaya has all of Dell's tech support running auto dialers for him I think. The transvestite looking girl got screwed but my real problem is with Sanjaya making it. Did anyone notice that everyone that made the top 12 got a big group hug from the rest of the singers except him. They just looked at him and watched him take his seat and no one said a word or anything to him.

Did anyone see today's Palehose 7? Ozzie told Kenny he has a a good and bad voce telling him what to do. Then showed Ozzie and the bad was Southpaw dressed as the devil telling Ozzie that Bmac drinks and doesn't work hard. Harold Baines is dressed as and angel and didn't say anything.

A-Row coming back. This is like Van Halen reunion talk. Everyone says it is going to happen. Never does.

That Doolittle woman is good, but she looks like a librarian. She looks 20 years older than she is. Anyways, the usual suspects should be gone, Antonella and that Haley girl that Simon (nor I) knew her name. She knows she's going home. Naperville Catfight chick Gina was good and may get a lot of votes as the other African-American belter girls fight it out.

I'm already planning for next JHD. I am taking the day before and day after off for planning and recovery. Hey JHD only comes but once a year. Unfortunately, I have to return a few of my JHD gifts that didn't fit. Oh those day after Jennnifer Hudson Day return lines. I knew I should've got to the mall at 6am to avoid the crowds.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 7, 2007 -> 11:50 AM) I missed last night. I did record it though. If it was terrible, it might be worth a watch. Does anybody in this world actually like Rosie, or give a rats ass about what she has to say? I don't know one person that finds her attractive, funny, interesting or entertaining.

Ugh! The guys sucked last night. Oh please, stop the call center from New Dehli voting for Sanjaya. Horrible. Only the Beatbox kid was half way decent.

3 @ $42 mill for Buehrle is a steal and he won't take it. He knows lefties who have been multiple-year All-Stars and durable are worth more. I love Buehrle but he will be the #3 for St. Louis next year.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 07:49 AM) Chris Berman has never left. That is true. Actually the worst local sportscaster returned last week when Les Grobstein was on the Score. Why, why, oh why does anyone think he is listenable?

Am I the only one that finds it odd that an American Idol reject and winner of Best SUPPORTING Actress gets an official day from the city, including the need to close down streets? Maybe this is to show the Olympic people we can throw a party, but this feels like we are welcoming home someone to Dirtbox, KY, not Chicago.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Mar 6, 2007 -> 09:39 AM) My prediction is 24 in 2 weeks will be the best episode yet...they seem to be building it up with the whole 2 hours in the desert thing. I hated prison break, what f'in cop out, the president steps down Is this the last season of prison break or is there another one planned? I'm pretty sure it has been renewed but I doubt they have any idea where to go with the story. But the show has some great characters. Bellick, T-Bag, and Kellerman are each great characters. IF anything, Lincoln is the most boring person on the show.

Well last night Jack busted into Boris Badenov's den and did subsequently was captured. Moose and Squirrel should be on the way next episode for the rescue. Thank goodness no Morris sucking down Jack Daniels this week. Something is just not clicking this season.

Sun Times reported today that Bobby felt great after yesterday's session. Hit about 93-94 mph.

Knuckleballers scare me. When it's not moving, it's like the ball is on a tee for the hitters.

They got a van started. Great. Now what? That episode served no purpose.

I think Rush is a big blowhard and Bill Maehr is a no-talent comedian who found a niche to make money that he never did on the comedy circuit. My opinion: Both are nothing more than opportunist jerks.

As much as he's a joke now, for about 3 years in late 80s, Dice, was the biggest thing in comedy ever. He was absolutely huge. Jack and Jill went up the hill ....... oh she needed the money.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 2, 2007 -> 07:44 AM) Granted, it was a Heart song from their most commercial Pop era, and not from the full on Rock era that they were and are most loved for. Hell, I don't even think Heart does those songs anymore. I know they hate them all. What the heck is this Catfight band like? Are they a REAL Rock band, or are they crap? I just always question these "Rockers" who find their way to the Idol set. Talk about selling your soul to the Devil. Catfight is a pretty good girl cover band. They sing 80s & 90s rock. They're pretty good. Gina was bawling last night because Leslie from Chicago, who is her room mate at wherever they stay in California for American Idol. Did anyone see where Leslie at the very end said, "why did I scat?" and "America doesn't like jazz." The other girl that got booted was so overcome she stopped singing. AI really needs to do away with the whole, "you're gone, now here's a mic and sing right as you've been crushed." Sooner or later, someone is going to grab the mic and say, "screw you American Idol." Please, please, please stop voting for Sanjaya. It's embarrassing for him. He is basically going to get ripped every week.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Mar 1, 2007 -> 01:20 PM) boy, that's the first thing I thought too. I think her best shot at going far is playing up the rocker image, both in looks and song selection. This is what Simon was trying to point out. That Dial Idol site said Gina, Leslie and Stephanie are all in trouble - FWIW.

Last night the girls sang: Gina from Naperville was just OK, but why is a supposed rocker chick dressed like she is going to her spring formal? She should be safe, but it's dangerous to go first in a 90-minute show. Leslie from Chicago (originally St. Charles) was also just OK. She is forgetable and might be in trouble. Lakisha and Stephanie were both very good, but although everyone loved the Melinda girl, she looks 40 and seems like she should be a librarian. She needs to kick up the star power. The second girl, Alaina I think, to sing was horrendous. She should be going home. As for nude pic hottie Antonella, I bet she gets a ton of votes. I bet she is safe.

Agree with SS2K. A team like Pittsburgh has a new stadium as well. Cuban will want more luxury suites. Also, he belives in giving his players the best luxuries, something you can't do playing in Wrigley.
