QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) The MLB app is incredible, not only do you get audio streaming of games, but also almost immediate video highlights during the game. It's one of the best iPhone apps available. Yeah i was hesitant to buy it, but no regrets.

QUOTE (jhonnydanks @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 01:38 PM) they are usually the outfield seats behind visitors bullpen. Correct. That's where i sat for game 162 last year in the freezing rain.

zoops. Fastball not soundin so good.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 12:27 AM) How much did that cost? $15. I don't have a radio.

ah, this mlb radio app is paying off. Hooked the iphone into the stereo.

sigh, sigh.

i wish this wasn't on cable.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 08:58 PM) I buried it in the catch all thread. I already purchased tickets with a group of friends for the 4/16 game. Perhaps we can make it a Soxtalk meetup game? I bought 4/15, figures. But on the other hand my entire gf's family will be there and it would be weird to take a leave of absence to see people i met on the internet.

Last month I went to the true false film festival in columbia, mo and was able to catch the interrupters, the new doc by steve james of hoop dreams fame. I can't endorse it enough. Especially in Chicago, it should be a very important film. Now that i think it's showing some places up here, I thought i'd give it a shout out. Not as long as hoop dreams, and very, very powerful.

It's only 2 games, but generally am pretty excited that they seem to be hitting the ball out of the gate. Very happy sox fan, so far.

jesus christ

You know, I love blowouts.

sorry, i'm at work is there a way to listen to this without mlb radio?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 30, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) That went from maybe Mizzou to probably Purdue to "100%" going to Mizzou, to Purdue announcing an 8-year extension. Now please, can we get Shaka. That was heartbreaking. Everyone of these 'wait-to-unfold' events like this has not ended up in my favor.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 31, 2011 -> 02:50 AM) I feel like there's some sort of mentality among craft brew snobs that if you don't like IPAs (or anything real hoppy), you're a pansy. Granted, I've talked to a few brewers themselves, and they say that's not the case at all...the common theme was, "If we brew it, we like it." I like IPAs well enough, but...that's not exactly showing off.

why couldn't this game be on WGN or WCIU ugghghg

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 30, 2011 -> 04:48 PM) Did you go yet? I have been extremely disappointed by the food selection. So I went to this. I was very disappointed. For a microbrew, they only had like 4 of their own beers and i'm pretty sure 3 of them were IPAs.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Mar 29, 2011 -> 10:57 PM) Is there something wrong with Allen Iverson's game? HOFer right? For sure. Remember when Sam Smith had Iverson to the Bulls around 02/03? I was thrilled. Dude took his (pretty weak) teams to the finals 2 times in a row. He was a good.

sigh, i've such bad luck watching games. I feel like i've seen every loss this season and I don't get to see a lot of games.

i misspoke, but the healthcare act was so much bigger than anything the republicans accomplished in 2000 or 2010 and it's not even close. Establishing collective bargaining and what not when the dems regain power will be pretty easy, dismantling ACA will be much much harder. They'll have to hope for the supreme court to overturn it.

I get both sides of this particular argument. But this particular argument I find beside the point. What's the end game here? There's like, one road to east libya, they could easily protect that. And I guess that's a victory. But there's limitations to airpower. Nonviolent democratic movements the past 25 years have had a much much much bigger chance of creating an actual stable gov't than any violent overtakings. That's why Tunisia and egypt were important. But some of these were not going to be completed. Intervening won't create stability. And if all the sudden a ceasefire is taken...this is just a punt until some warhawk wants to finish the job vs. gaddafi. We just had to stay out. Many would have died, and it would have been terrible to watch. But many also die of malaria, as has often been said, why don't we just fight malaria?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 11:49 PM) From a discussion elsewhere, thought it was worthwhile to repost: The dems did get universal healthcare and a lot of other things. But hey, whose counting passing a policy they've tried to get done for 60 years.

To be fair...I sort of agree. I don't really find that #s always = better representation for the people. New Hampshire has a gigantic state legislature, and for no real reason. Nebraska is unicameral, and functions just as well as many others. You could easily eliminate the upper or lower half of the IL legislature without anyone noticing.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) Counter example, you'll never meet a dentist, doctor, chemist, etc...without a college degree. They formed cartels.
