fun read...94 wins gets you a division win in our world of today...at least a wild card...

cubssuck, were you formerly radioheadpablohoney on whitesox.com?

also, wonderful 1984 references at end of movie...people use orwellian and it comes out as too hyperbole, but he used it EFFECTIVELY and it was great for the end of the movie.

i didn't read this entire thread...but i saw it today...and here are my thoughts: There are some parts where i thought more overtly held grudges against the president. According to the 9/11 report...the first time bush was told a plane hit the WTC...he was told it was a "private jet, small airliner" the second thing whispered in his ear was "america is under attack" and i don't neccisarily disagree with him not causing a panic by rushing out of there. I didn't like where he interviewed the soldiers in a mocking tone...i give soldiers the benefit of the doubt, since i've read it from soldiers so many times...is that many accept their death as soon as they arrive, so the state of mind they are in is not liberation, but kill or be killed. I don't think he emphasized that Immorality at the top breeds it through all the levels. He presented many eye brow raising connections, but nothing hard enough to say, hey, this is concrete, these people knew they would profit off of 9/11, or else it can be eye brow raising, but everyone realized that people have a lot of connections... Also, the only connection he gave of the Bin Laden family with Osama was a wedding they attended, then he basically, in his mind, found them guilty, and any thing they did was evil, well, Osama is not connected with his family, and they should be allowed to live without people thinking they are terrorists. Plus, the FBI did question the bin ladens, and Richard Clarke okayed their flight out... Now, this movie i was cracking up, and on the verge of tears. Does anyone know if he interviewed the women whose soldier died before her son died and after? or was it all after? Plus, as a movie, he's gotten even better in keeping it entertaining...I thought sometimes it would be effective to use a split screen when he showed bush loafing while chaos was happening...but he didn't, but excellent use of just audio with a black screen, not showing what happened to the WTC was effective, and just showing the people broke everyones heart. That day is not something i like bringing back to memory, but i never regret doing it. It kills me everytime. The hilarious pop culture references with Bonanza and Dragnet were fantastic and better than "bowlings" cartoon sequence. And to close it out with the "Won't get fooled again" thing was great! I always crack up seeing that... Now, to the Moore haters, grow up, do you honestly find americans so easily manipulated that a man is not able to make a film without turning them into his own puppets? IF Bush had his way he would be far more manipulative if he already hasn't. People are so scared of dissention, and criticism of a republican president. I have a right to have a say...and i use that right. Bush has done good and bad things...its not blasphemus to say so.

no no no, not jerkish at all...see, all i had was espn news..and slight condontations of trade rumors with sox...(gammons says smoltz on radar, somebody said dont trade maggs to braves) i thought getting 2 .300 hitters was reference to serious trade talks...i was just hoping to catch up on gossip.

wow...reyes is hitting .319?!?!? isn't he like a defensive gem that can't hit?

oh, excuse my ignorance, i was in south carolina for a week and had little access to whats going on...

two .300 hitters soon... who are they?

can we hypnotize him into thinking its always april????????????

what a suprise...tie game up...pitchers give up runs next innning...tale of our season..

WOW

i hate to blame umps...but can we ever get these calls?

its still fun to follow baseball...its a pretty pure game down there...fun to hear about.

I agree, the whole crowd last night was excited when he came in...almost like we felt like we'd win. 4-0 he is...thats awesome.

well, they finally have a guy right off the bat with THREE pitches for strikes...they usually just have a guy with one and needs to develop...so he has a good shot.

was he...paul sullivan wrote the pro-cubs letter because he's their beat writer...foltman was supposed to write the sox letter...but he basically bashed everyone.

in todays trib, they had the two beat writers...although, how long had bob foltman been doing sox beat writing, for some reason i thought it was teddy greenstein that did ours....anyways, they had the two beat writers write letters to each other on what has happened with their clubs and what to expect...the cubs later was very optimistic, while our beat writer said many things that made me angry, none worse than "ozzie said not to worry, and knowing sox fans, they aren't, they probably packed it in in may...its never to early to wait for the bears" that infuriated me. He's talking about the same fans who stuck by their team down by what...six games at the all star break last year and nearly everyone felt we could pull it off, and we almost did...what have sox fans done to make him feel like that?

I went to last nights game, it was great to have a full bleachers...though i sat in 159 which is seats, but what was better...there were no fights that i saw...the last half priced tuesday game i was at was bad...so security...no, the fans have been better, i think we are seeing more white sox fans there and less people there to just get drunk...what an AWESOME game yesterday was though, i've never seen a walkoff homerun before...it was great.

I agree with the cheat...kill him.

hopefully prince fielder has some good power numbers...but weeks suprises me as does gwynn, use a second round pick on a "contact" hitter...should be hitting more than that...but, i don't know the whole story.

well, now we know of a reliever whom we could acquire...

yikes, i feel bad for milwaukee, weeks, fielder, and gwynn all with less then good stats...

and who shall we replace them with?!?!?

to each his own...to each...his...own.

yeah, that!^ shingo throws 83...i cant imagine his arm is so fragile as to me unusable for 2 INNINGS!
