YASNY

No reported injuries. No arrests made. Investigation ongoing.

QUOTE(JackTalkThai @ May 26, 2006 -> 12:34 PM) That's true. It all might be moot as I've heard that Leyland doesn't want to mess with the bullpen's rhythm by promoting anyone from within to a starter's role meaning that Maroth's eventual replacement will more than likely be coming from the minors. If that's true, it means the 5th starter is either going to be Jordan Tata, Zach Miner or Wilfredo Ledezma. I personally think Roman Colon would be the best choice though. Read the post immediately above yours.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ May 26, 2006 -> 12:32 PM) Panic attacks are the worst. Sounds like no one was injured? Did they figure out what it was? No definitive news yet ... another press conference starting now.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ May 26, 2006 -> 12:21 PM) Wow, I didn't know there was a fraternal connection there. Cool. So when are your more enlightened liberal family members going to show up?? Enlightened liberal? Now that's an oxymoron if I ever saw one.

I believe Coop's gonna make something out of this guy. He seems receptive and Coop certainly believed he could.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 26, 2006 -> 11:23 AM) A woman was wheeled out on a gurney and put in an ambulance. Apparently, she was suffering from anxiety.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 26, 2006 -> 12:00 PM) Actually, I'd say that half do and half don't. I think a lot of "conservatives" on this board can dish crap on their own "party" pretty well. I know I do. As do I.

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ May 26, 2006 -> 11:56 AM) I was under the impression if a player appeals, he is allowed flexibility as to when he actually serves the suspension. I think I just spelled out the flexibility aspect. He drops his appeal at an opportune time.

QUOTE(Cknolls @ May 26, 2006 -> 11:51 AM) This amendment did not make the final bill. Good. This can be accomplished via diplomacy. No need to legislate it.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ May 26, 2006 -> 11:39 AM) I say he should take it now while the taking is good. Three lefties going against us in the next five games. Maybe he should appeal until we have a string of righties coming up, then drop his appeal.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ May 26, 2006 -> 11:36 AM) Mac talked about this last night on MJH. They can't rip on attendance, talent or "what have the Sox done lately?" - what else is left? Hence much frustration on their part. Why do I get a sense of satisfaction from reading your post?

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 26, 2006 -> 11:30 AM) Or maybe some of us just don't feel "They all do it" is an acceptable justification. If "they all do it" they all need fired. Some of us only critisize one side when 'they do it' and ignore it when the other side does it.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 26, 2006 -> 11:29 AM) Since this doesn't appear to be as dire as once thought - now I can ask if Dick Cheney just got lost on his way to go hunting? Yes you can ... Look up. He's about 50' from you.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ May 26, 2006 -> 11:22 AM) As anyone else noticed that cub fan hostility towards white sox fans is up dramatically? I think the world series and this great 2006 team is really getting to cub fans. They are noticably rattled by our vast success and their incredible suckiness I've got three words for them .... Deal with it!

QUOTE(Soxy @ May 26, 2006 -> 11:22 AM) I'm as liberal as the next, but enough. If you're going to make these kind of claims you really need to factually back them up and make a more cogent argument, otherwise you really aren't helping or adding anything constructive to the dialogue. I didn't even consider the post worthy of a response.

Someone has definitely taken out on a gurney. I just saw video of it. Whether or not this lady needed medical attention as a result of the fired shots is not known at this time. The lady appeared to be in pretty good shape as the gurney was raised into what I'd call a recliner position.

The press conference consists of "I don't have that information at this time."

There are now unconfirmed reports of EMT's rushing into the building with a gurney. Press conference starting now.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 26, 2006 -> 10:45 AM) Ah "They all do it." Haven't heard that defense in what - a week now? Some of us will acknowledge the fact that they all do it while others only see one side.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ May 26, 2006 -> 10:18 AM) Has there ever been an appeal that didn't reduce the suspension?? I want Barrett serving them all. Reduced suspensions are routine.

The FBI terrorism task force is now on the scene. Something's happening here. I just heard the phrase 'four ambulances' but no reports of anyone wounded.

Okay guys. I said what needed to be said. Hopefully that will get the message across. No need to keep piling on.

I'm disappointed that nobody picked up on my Ozzie-Wendelstedt reference.

Capitol police doing a room to room search now. Shots fired in a parking level. It's was probably a backfire.

Fox News reporting there are reports of shots being fired in the parking level of the Rayburn (House of Representatives) office building. Tell all people in the building to seek shelter. Stay away from all windows. Building locked down.
