Cabrera is a wierd pitcher. some nights he looks like Bob Gibson, other nights he looks like Debbie Gibson.

The gun at Wrigley is lofty so that they can hide Mark Prior's true pitch speed... ... which is about 86.

Why did pablo leave the game? Gamecast stinks... its way behind

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 10:57 AM) If the wind's blowing out, I hate Garland's chances today. yeah... I understand where you are coming from. But this cubs team has the worst slugging percentage in baseball and the second fewest home runs in baseball.

The wind in chicago is out of the southwest today.... So it will be blowing out. I'm not sure who that favors today. The sox certainly have more power... but Garland has given a ton of homers this year (19). We've all seen how lucrative Wrigley can be when the wind is going out....

I think this is a fantastic ruling. Frankly, I think justice is best served when we go through all due process and find the bastards guilty. I see nothing wrong with bringing them to trial using our existing, time-tested rules of evidence and law. BTW, it may be challenging for Congress to pass a bill containing the appropriate judicial procedure to circumvent this ruling... The legislature's impending action should be interesting.

Ahhh... Sox v. Cubs....The epic battle of good vs. evil continues

Since there actually is a moderately productive line of discussion here on whether Scalia is "activist" or not, I'd just like to add the following. Very broadly, the phrase "Judicial activist" refers to those who assert that the constitution supports substantive due process. Basically, all the substantive due process cases are the one ones "Strict constructionalists" whine about (though they are wrong IMO). Essentially thats Lawrence v. Texas, Griswold v. Conn, Roe v. Wade, etc. Again there other anecdotal issues differences between "activists and constructionalists", but for the most part these are the cases that, if overturned, would most highly outrage or thrill either camps. In that sense, Scalia is no activist at all. I do think he does inject his personal preferences into his constitutional approach... but only occassionally. The one example that jumps to mind is last year's Gonzalez v. Raich. Even Scalia "Fans" would say he sold out his strict approach to Federalisim and states rights in order to make the political point that medical marijuana is, and should be, illegal. Even his best buddy, Clarence Thomas who almost never breaks from Scalia dissented. BTW, A reminder, that opinion was written by Lefty Stevens... and joined by Righty Scalia. Truly a fascinating case for geeky ConLaw attorneys and law students.

how many pitches did politte get off before we got walked off?

it went in the river?

is thome coming in?

I've seen some fair deals pop up on Craigslist on the day of the game... And actually, the ticket exchange on this web site often has the most reasonable prices.

I'd bet a huge texan vote carries the UT longhorns. Sox should win it though... BTW, the espy award is the most useless award in sports. In all its time, the Espys have produced only one memorable moment; and that was for the lifetime achievement award to Bob Valvano who basically came from his deathbed to speak at the event.

I don't really care how many wind-up on the actual all-star team.... I'm satisfied knowing we have at least 9 all-star calibre players: Dye, Count, Buerhle, Jenks, Thome, Iguchi, Konerko, Crede, AJ

the sox have a chance to finish an absurd 40 games better than the cubs. That would be completely insane...

The brewers are out to an insurmountable 1-0 lead over the cubs

This is still my favorite palehose six comic

As funny as this thread is, (as as much as I HATE rush), I hope this doesn't affect his plea deal. Possessing Viagra without a prescription is not the type of "crime" that ought to impair the execution of a properly pled plea deal. That said, it still is quite hilarious.

Its probably the lou brock trade... Larry Anderson for Jeff Bagwell is in the discussion as well
