YASNY

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 01:47 PM) Someone pointed out that it could be a representation of say... the Lincoln Memorial. 2 Reasons For that: Anniversary of "I have a Dream" Lincoln.... Illinois.... Obama... Illinois. Lincoln .... Republican ... Obama ... not

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 12:40 PM) Nah, the Twins and Sox would play each other first and then the loser would play the Red Sox. Didn't this scenario occur a few ............................... yes it did occur a few years ago in the NL and you are correct.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 12:31 PM) I'm not sure she'd be a lock, but she'd be doing a lot better in the polls than Obama is. Yes, I'll go along you on this. A lock is pretty strong language. But, unless something extraordinary happens with the roll call vote we'll never know.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 12:09 PM) Are you sure? I always thought the two teams in the division played a game for the division, with the loser facing the other team for the WC. No, I'm not 100% sure on this one and I didn't research it. But I think that's the way it is.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 12:26 PM) Wait, did YASNY send you a picture of himself? No man, I sent him a picture of your mother.

From Mrs. Biden: OMG!! It's twue! It's twue!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 12:47 PM) Oh for sure she did that, that is why I said it was a good speech last night. She also came across much more likable than I'd ever seen her. However, that doesn't change the fact that she still clearly thinks that she can win the presidency one day, and that she thinks Obama can't win without her, and I'd have a hard time arguing with either point right now (although I'm not sure if he can win in general). I believe, that in this point in time, Hillary would be a lock to beat McCain. I'm not so sure Obama can.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 12:15 PM) took me 2 seconds to think of that. It's an ally oop. And a slam dunk.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 12:39 PM) I don't think you're necessarily wrong but I think she did exactly what was necessary for Obama in terms of getting some of those votes back. She did exactly what she had to do. Nothing more, nothing less.

From what I hear, the internet has exploded with pissed off Cub fans over this. We all know they aren't too damn smart, so yeah, I can see them not voting for a Sox fan. In a heartbeat.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 12:25 PM) "body language experts" are like shrinks. They go to school for years, ask you to pay lots of money then just give you BS answers to make you feel better. Well maybe I picked up on the body language thing. But actually listening to what she said. I still say her 'support' was tepid at best.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 11:26 AM) what happens if its a 3-way tie? Say the White Sox and Twins finish with 92 wins for a division tie. And the Red Sox finish with 92 wins for a 3-way tie for the wild card. How does that work? Then the Sox and Twins play a tie breaker and the results of the game are added to the standings, which means the loser of the game is out and the Red Sox are in as the WC.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 12:19 PM) i'm pretty sure i was one of the only, if not the only person advocating for letting walker keep his job You weren't alone.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 09:59 AM) I agree with that. On the flip side some people are really excited that Hillary showed her support for Obama last night. That's pretty obvious she'll support him, it's not like she's going to support McCain or someone like Ralph Nadar. If she threw her support to anybody else, she'd be committing political suicide within the party.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 05:46 PM) Did You See That? It's a UFO! Look!! That was just too easy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 09:49 AM) I still believe 100% that she wants him to lose so she can run again in 2012. I have seen nothing that shows me otherwise. Agreed, and her speech reinforced that in my mind. Her speech was much more about her candidacy than about his.

I'm going to step up and give my opinion of Hillary's speech. She was very eloquent and spoke very well, with some damn good lines (No way, no how, no McCain, and the twin cities analogy was great). However, her 'endorsement' of the presumptive nominee was tepid at best. In fact, I kept checking out Michelle when they would cut to her and she seemed at times to be pissed. Hillary could have used Bill's "Candidate X" instead of Barrack Obama, and told us just as much about the candidate that she did last night. She said he's my candidate and I'm proud to support Cand... oops, I mean Barrack Obama. She never said that he was ready to lead, ready to be commander in chief or that he had earned her respect on the campaign trail. There was no personal insight as to why she was supporting him other than it was the right thing to do for the party.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 09:24 AM) The biggest surprise in this thread to me is the Rockies putting people on waivers. They're only 6 games out in that terrible division. Taveras helps them a lot when he gets on base with his 60 some stolen bases. All teams put a s***load of players on waivers at this time of year. A player can't be traded if he doesn't clear waivers. If he's claimed, the team can just pull him back off of waivers.

QUOTE (scenario @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 10:13 AM) Uh oh... I knew there was a catch. So the promise of 72 virgins was just to suck us in, eh? No, you got that wrong. It was a 72 year old virgin.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 09:57 AM) Cabrera really seems to be in the middle of most of the dugout celebrations. I'm not sure how you can knock him for not being a "team guy", even with the scorer and Dye bulls*** from earlier in the year. He's a mercenary sure, but he's also playing a valuable role as a great defensive shortstop with acceptable offense on a team in the middle of a pennant race. There are plenty of guys looking to get paid in MLB, I don't blame O-Cab for looking to lock up one more big contract before he enters serious decline. As long as it doesn't affect him on the field I have no problems with it. I can't imagine where the team would be with Uribe at SS, especially after Crede went down yet again, that would have led to serious depth problems. Which is why I couldn't believe all the posts wishing the Sox would just release Uribe.

QUOTE (Good Guys @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 07:57 AM) I think this is greatly exagerated. OC is right in the middle of any victory celebration there is. I have acutally mentally noted on a couple different occassions how OC acutally seemed to be the happiest guy on the team after a big hit by someone other than himself. I don't buy the garbage that he is disliked by the team. I'm sure there are times he get under people's skin.... but in a way didn't the Sox need that? Not really. They got AJ!

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) A giant cow kicking over a bucket. Not a bad idea.

Other than the Sox victory tonight, this is the best piece of news.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 11:49 PM) That's wild. I'm surprised prior to our winning it all in 05 we didn't more crying from the Mariotti's of the world about us tanking that year. Don't you agree we were better than Baltimore and would have won Game Five in Comiskey had Dybber not screwed up on the basepaths?? No way LaMarr would have been clobbered in Game Five. It was ours. Britt Burns was fabulous in Game 4. We should won that game. That was heartbreaking.

QUOTE (Steff @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 10:44 AM) I agree with no to a politician also, but I also say no to MJ. Someone without dirty laundry to dig up would be a wiser choice. Today a member of either the Sox or Cubs would do. And for 2016 I'm sure a member of the 2015 World Champ White Sox will be worthy. I hear ya Steff, but as of today who would a better representive of Chicago than MJ?
