Forman is just teasing me so I'll actually tune in on Thursday night. If he doesn't play tomorrow, with 2 more offdays, that's a real good sign for the Sunday showdown against NYC.

Thumb surgery for Andrew Bailey, maybe out to around the all star break.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 04:27 PM) I bet the Ballpark in Arlington takes on just enough damage to make Opening Day not happen. Rangers played there tonight.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 09:42 PM) i think they look pretty good from what i've seen in pictures. haven't seen one in person yet Seen a few. Cheered for each one.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 09:17 PM) Still seriously overpriced. Correct, but this is at least an understandable business decision. They're still at the early adopter stage now, and those people are often willing to spend more for the symbol of it. The big problem will be making the jump from early adopters to ramping up, but that's still a year or so away, and it's difficult to predict either gas prices or technology costs that far out once the line really gets going.

Record sales of the Volt in March lead to re-starting of the production line a week early. Yay.

Go 6ers

David Stern wants to up the age limit to 2 and done.

Nick Fairley arrested for Marijuana possession.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 05:26 PM) In close cases there usually isnt a right side or a wrong side, there are just different opinions as to what is the best policy. That might have been the standard when a 5-4 decision didn't mean "Democrats on one side, Republicans on the other". A 5-4 decision used to mean a lot more about the law being in dispute. Now it means a lot more about politics.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 04:48 PM) Que video of TSA patting down a 3 year old in a wheel chair at O'Hare. But unless he had the plans for 9/11 up his ass, the search wouldn't have mattered. You'll never know unless you search every ass. Constantly. Not just traffic stops, I mean every time anyone goes outdoors.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 04:01 PM) They could pay enough to change the Yankee uniforms, you think they would get a good return on that investment? Like we said in the NBA thread, it really is only a matter of time until soccer style corporate logos are on people's uniforms in this country.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 04:00 PM) Looks like DFW getting the hammer now, Arlington area specifically, also eastern suburbs of DFW area. They're welcoming me.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 04:40 PM) But such a search would not have resulted in anything. It seems like a base appeal to "9/11!" to me. Basically, we need to assume everyone is a terrorist and strip-search everyone.

There was apparently a funnel cloud and quite a bit of hail over the ballpark at Arlington today. The Sox will be there Friday.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 03:10 PM) The teams have the final say. They own there logo and the rights to it, etc. I bet Nike could pay enough for that to not be true.

A couple of the authors at the political gossip rag "Politico" are publishing an e-book today that alleges Rick Perry was seriously impaired during his campaign by heavy use of painkillers, possibly associated with his experimental back surgery in 2011.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 02:59 PM) Do you mean that Nike has more say on the uniforms design than the teams do? Depends on how much they paid for the rights here.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 02:26 PM) I still would have like Santiago and Stewart starting in AAA. If Infante hadn't gotten injured, he could be in Chicago instead of Stewart and...I dunno for Santiago.] But a AAA rotation of Molina, Castro, Axelrod, Stewart, Santiago would have been really, really nice to watch. I don't think Santiago is going to be a starter long-term, so I don't mind him being moved to the big league bullpen. He's throwing a screwball, so it's more of a "Tricky" pitch guys don't see a lot...if they have to go against him 3 times in a game, that pitch will lose some of its potency.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 02:21 PM) An interesting preseason MGR of YR prediction... Jon Morosi ‏ @jonmorosi AL Manager: Robin Ventura, #WhiteSox. NL Manager: Don Mattingly, #Dodgers. Makes some sense...if the team wins 85 games, which is probably margin of error even for my guess...then they'll have drastically outperformed almost everyone's expectations, which is usually big for a MOY award.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 01:38 PM) No. I apologize and have been a member too long to even think about that type of thing. Does this mean you got back in successfully?

Is that an improvement?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 3, 2012 -> 12:26 PM) @RJinVegas: 2013 NCAA favorites: Kentucky 6-1, Baylor 8-1, Louisville 9-1, Indiana 10-1, Ohio St 10-1, NC 10-1, Syr 11-1 Going to be fascinating to see how Crean does with a team that actually has expectations.
