JONAS SALK WAS A COMMUNIST WE SHOULDN"T ALL BE ABLE TO WALK

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 03:48 AM) The crowd does sound awesome. 31k is ridiculous for a Thursday day game. Kinda sucks that this weekend is vs. the North Siders, cause those games are sell outs even if we are 25 games back, not 2.5. It would be nice to see the crowd that shows up against like KC or BAL or a team like that. I guess, but people are poor and tickets are expensive. You can't blame em for pickin a good'ne

I was just about to write that.

f***ing worst commute ever. Props to anyone who stays at that game.

f***ing dumbass fans, liking a player on the stanley cup team. I don't really believe that versteeg trade. Sounds like a garbage rumor.

A BACKUP lineup? Man! Good job White Sox. That is some forward thinking! I love the NL. Can't we push for a division switch ala Nebraska or Colorado? Please? Let's keep it going. I'm unbuttoning another button on my shirt for each win, for a loss...oo, i button one. The Billy Madison/Major League treatment.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 02:28 AM) It may not be Obama directly in this case, but someone knew exactly what to say close to the general and virtually nothing was a direct quote - it was all "sources close to"... . Furthermore, the response was too quick (Gibbs was too much of a happy ass on this). They knew this was coming. the RS article was all directly quoted. Shockingly, in modern day, news travels faster than the trains, in addition to the fact that reporters contact a range of sources, and likely the white house. Shocking! It's amazing this computer of mine is typing what keys my fingers are pushing in. What the hell is obama doing to my computer?

Kap never ceases to ignore anything and everything that proves he is wrong in order to write down what kap feels

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 07:12 PM) They're playing a show at Schubas next week. They would be fun to see there. my co-worker is in this band.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) It came more relevant when Barack said these problems were fixed. 1) That was never said 2) THe bill doesn't fully get implemented until 2014.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 03:14 PM) Once again, not paying someone what you owe them is NOT a f***ing valid cost control. Sometimes you people make me wonder...seriously. Read the article. Medicare is 1) not paying at all or 2) not paying what they promised they'd pay. I REPEAT, THAT IS NOT A VALID COST CONTROL. It's called stealing. Sure, nobody gets paid for medicare. I don't know how our poor doctors eat, with nobody ever getting paid!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 02:42 PM) Since you're talking about an apple product, chances are it will blow away Imax. pretty sure pad refers to his house.

Jesus' son.

I'm currently watching one of the worst movies I've ever seen. And it was based on one of the best short story collections I've ever read.

ahh, so the bill sucks because it has no cost controls but you hate the program with cost controls, makes sense. I'm going to go jump out this window but also stay right here and not do that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 08:28 PM) Damn intrusive constitution. I can't wait until we throw them in the internment camps after our socialist utopia is created. USSA USSA USSA

it also helps when they get away with handballs directly leading to goals.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:04 PM) I understand the skepticism. I'm certainly not elevating this team as one of the top teams in the AL. Not yet. But just a couple weeks ago it looked like 2007 all over again. We're playing meaningful baseball again. That feels pretty f***ing good. The pitching is finally dominating like expected. Offense is still a major question mark. Will see what happens. All I know is we have the most aggressive, and most importantly, ballsy GM in baseball. If this team continues to play well, he'll bring in some offense. No doubt in my mind. Well, as I said in the other winner thread, the difference in 2007 and our other winning-but-not playoff years, was interleague. We played awful in interleague that year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:02 PM) Huh? You want to just continue to wait for players to perform. I've seen this song and dance for the past decade. I'd like to see them try and get passed win 82 and go for 90 more proactively than "we'll, these players will turn it around"

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:59 PM) Fix Quentin and Beckham and you've got a shot. Or replace Beckham with Viciedo somehow. Adding a DH would be nice, but it's not going to help if Quentin hits like Kotsay the rest of the year. no, that's the exact opposite of what will help. These guys might pull it together, might not, it's 2.5 months in, this team is probably going to be pretty similar to what you'll get. Fix it now, or hold a press conference and say "we are comfortable putting together .500 teams."

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 11:51 PM) Dude, just shut up (and I say that respectfully) and enjoy the run. True. But his defense is to a degree offsetting his mediocre offense. Anybody who wants to move Beckham to SS needs a serious reality check. I am. There's no reason our starting pitching should have ever been worst in the AL. But it was. Our offense, yes I could've guessed that. BUt the point stands - in 2001 we had a 22-7 run to roar us back to .500 and over. This is the wonderful part about being in the AL, june can serve as a downhill slope in a marathon. Hopefully it can slingshot us forward. I think an offensive addition at this point (ala 2003 - except get actual good offensive players) could really pick the team up. I'd rather not just say "see, we're fixed, this is how we were supposed to play." I think I'm getting hang of this. You'll know what to do with your AL team after June. If they couldn't do anything during interleague to pick themselves up (if previously struggling), you are f***ed. Unload, play for draft, bring up your young'ens. If you succeed against the weak NL, then diagnose what is still plaguing them during those times and try to fix it. So yes, our pitching (strength) is back. Now what?

You know what Rex? I think you'd really enjoy going to Xoco, it's one of Rick Bayless' restaurants, it's reasonably priced and everyone I know loves it. It probably would be a cool addition to your trip to go to one of Chicagos most renowned chef's restaurants.

god this reminds me so f***ing much of 2001

feel pretty comfortable saying nothing will top treats for me.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:33 PM) I think he'll win there, probably pretty easily, but the Democrats seem to have a good candidate running against him, so I doubt it'll be a total whoopin' I assume the worst thing that can happen for the D's in that race was national scrutiny on their candidate, he can just work the D is the media establishment candidate and all those other things that states like Kentucky would eat up.
