The thing about t-bars is this: Spending your own money in there sucks. If you are going just for fun, better make sure its one with either A. GREAT looking nude women or B. Cheap rubdowns in the back room. Otherwise its just you ooogling chicks until your wallet is empty and you have to scurry home to catch the last bit of skinamax so you can relieve yourself. Secondly-There are some t-bars that arent the hard sell places like vegas. I went to one in Salt lake city that was basically a sports bar with topless girls dancing to classic rock. People were playing pool, golden tee, watching the girls, with no pressure to tip them at all. Those are decent places to go and have a good time and not drop 2k. Thirdly-if you are on a business trip, spend, spend spend. My corp amex has seen many a t-bar and thats my 3 cents.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 4, 2007 -> 09:16 AM) Thome doesn't hurt that rib cage with a different hitting coach and an all new swing. Seriously, how fast do y'all think it would take a new hitting coach to change the team and why does it take a coach? Are the players able to drop a lifetime of habits and adopt new swings overnight? Regardless of what the hitting coach actually does, its a change that needs to be made. When the offense sputters like this for month on end, you fire the hitting coach. Its the way of the world.

Im not sure Walker had that much to do with BA's swing did he? I know they needed to shorten it up though, and its just too mechanical right now. I dont know why they havent just quieted his lower half, then let him swing his normally from his ear. I dont understand why they made it so mechanical. PS Russell is amazing, he is the white Contreras.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ May 4, 2007 -> 09:11 AM) yeah, It's bumping over there now. Anyone try the Capitol Grill yet? I didn't know that about Yorktown? Yeah, Capitol is great, its good everywhere. Nice to have that corner have some activity.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ May 4, 2007 -> 08:57 AM) haha...you grew up in a years time. It opened in January of last year. Where it is located dick. Now there are all sorts of restaurants there, when i was growing up, it was a tire shop. And Yorktown wasnt the mall white people used to go to.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ May 4, 2007 -> 08:41 AM) I think, I'm not sure, but I think, the main part of the story was the Thome bit. Like I said, I think that was what the topic was really meant to be. Food distracts from all star gazing discussions. I grew up about 1/4 of a mile away from that place. Right off highland.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 3, 2007 -> 03:21 PM) She looks great now, but I am diametrically opposed to fake looking ladies, and she's as fake as it gets, so no thanks. They arent fake if you can touch them Besides beggars cant be choosers.

every business trip, I have reviews of them all over the country. Love the lunch buffets.

blandest food ever, but huge portions.

Nope, not at all. It was a great trade for us.

Danks has surpassed alot of expectations already this season.

lift and pull, rinse, repeat

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 2, 2007 -> 04:56 PM) Konerko, Gooch, AJ, Dye, Crede, Uribe are all major leaguers. They should all be capable of hitting Bautista. Even with the Sweeneys and Macks in the lineup. We should be able to get more than 2 solo homers. Yup But we arent, so management has to do something. And that something is firing the hitting coach.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ May 2, 2007 -> 04:54 PM) Its a f***in money game, you have to spend some to win...IM thinking more and more that 05 was just a lucky ass season. we have the 4th highest payroll in baseball dont we?

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ May 2, 2007 -> 04:49 PM) Smoking is terrible. But have you ever been in a bar that's recently smoke-free? The bars in Orland smelled so bad during that month-long ban. The smoke masks everything else. but my clothes and my closet dont smell terrible when i get home.

I sent KW an email. I hope he reads it.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ May 2, 2007 -> 04:47 PM) Ozzie said he would quit if we aren't winning, and we are 12-13 now. It's time for him to honor his loudmouthed word, and take Walker with him. This had nothing to do with ozzie, either one of these losses.

Keep this thread going. Different day, same f***ing result. Offensively, we are the worst team in baseball. We ruin another good outing by the 21 year old rookie.

wow, who couldnt see that coming a mile away.

And here comes the ground out/pop out 1-2 punch

Solo homer swinging white sox

QUOTE(daa84 @ May 2, 2007 -> 04:41 PM) Konerko looks just awful....03 esque his swing looks like garbage. he better get in the cage and fast.

damn, konerko ruins my prediction.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 2, 2007 -> 04:38 PM) At least we're consistent....back-to-back games of a hitter taking a called 3rd strike with the tying run on base in top of the 8th. Pods would be proud! I actually miss PODS at this point.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ May 2, 2007 -> 04:35 PM) Last night 3-2 B8 same as today.... Again Putz is going to embarass this pathetic group of fools. I bet he throws 11 pitches 9 for strikes with 2 K's. First batter ground out. Second pop up, third k for the save.
