There is a lot of talk happening that S&P is prepping to downgrade the U.S. debt anyway, including reports from CNBC and ABC.

That's not a word I'd use to describe him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 05:31 PM) Sox up 5.5 on the Cubs now The Sox will be good for a late season winning streak when they keep the same pitchers but actually play guys like De Aza and Viciedo more.

Right after he learns to play defense we can vote for him.

Perhaps.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 04:42 PM) The VP called them terrorists... does that count? I propose we take Ozzie's kids hostage. Well, maybe not Oney.

Not him.

Let's all remember the great man who said a dictatorship would be easier as long as he was the dicator.

Just the idea of you reading something must impress.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) I think the more De Aza plays, the more likely he is to bump Rios out. Which is why we've all been so pissed that Rios kept starting.

Forget it.

Don't tempt him.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 03:20 PM) We're going to be awfully busy/even more broke if we start helping everybody with a bad government. How bad must it be before we help, too?

They're not men though.

I think this link should take you to 144 photos from last night's Barons Smokies game.

Possibly tasty.

Martinez is up in BHam. Dude genuinely looks like an athlete. If you told me he was a basketball player I'd believe it. Very tall, very "athletic looking", for lack of a better phrase.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) That was about my guess. That would have made you about 3 when the movie came out. Which confuses me since you said it was before I was born.

Saw Gilmore playing with the Barons yesterday. He was at DH. Hasn't been hitting well in Birmingham, and everyone in the crowd down the 3b line could tell you why. Every time he swung at a pitch he was trying to be Sammy Sosa. Practically came flying out of his shoes. Shoulder flew so far open that on the back part of his swing he was facing the 3b dugout.

Let's refocus the hate on the existence of this thread.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 02:07 PM) The original Ghostbusters? How young do you think I am?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 01:21 PM) Come on, that was before you were born! ? No it wasn't.

Just stop already!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 11:31 AM) I can't decide what part of that quote is better: that he benched Rios for TWO GAMES or that on this team of abominations, Rios is the only guy he's benched for lack of hustle. I think Lillibridge got benched for that too.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 12:13 PM) no way that's true. You think the players are ready to lose a whole years salary? After 1999 they'd be fools not to expect that possibility. They lost in 1999 because they weren't prepared to eat a season and the Union broke. The Owners went into this lockout knowing that was how things went down last time, so the union now has to prove things are different. They've been telling their players that a lost season was a possibility for a while, now they have to act as if their players listened. Also, if a player is really in true financial distress...the global markets are available in ways they weren't 12 years ago. So it's entirely possible that the union could survive a full year.
