QUOTE (T R U @ May 26, 2010 -> 04:59 PM) All its going to take is a 10-3 or 14-7 game in a snow storm to pretty much nix this cold weather super bowl stuff.. Until the ratings come in.

QUOTE (T R U @ May 26, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) They didn't really demolish anything.. it was put right next to the Astrodome in the old parking lot.. Exactly. So...if you can't demolish solider field, where do you put a new stadium within the city limits?

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 26, 2010 -> 04:43 PM) I was suggesting that we never renovated the stadium and built a new stadium in a different location. I think he's saying "new structures" as in...Houston didn't have to demolish all that much to put its stadium within the city limits.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 26, 2010 -> 04:21 PM) It could be just me. But I don't think for a second Jenks is throwing that hard, despite what the guns are saying. I've seen 97-98. If Bobby's throwing that hard, guys like Jonathan Broxton and Brian Wilson are throwing 103. If it was only 1 ballpark, I'd agree, but he's been there consistently this last month.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 26, 2010 -> 04:25 PM) Mark might end up getting some time off as well... I think the Yankees/Red Sox had more vehement reactions to him earlier in the year than that.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 26, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) Jose Contreras has infinitely better stuff than Bobby. Really? Between Jenks hitting 97-98 and the curveball he used to throw up there, plus Jenks's previously demonstrated ability to not only throw cut fastballs for strikes but to change speeds on stuff...the only pitch I'd say would set Jose apart is the forkball.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 26, 2010 -> 10:44 AM) Is it hypocritical for those who scream for more government to make excuses for a federal government that hasn't stepped in to take over the oil spill efforts? Frankly, at this point, yes.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:35 PM) Obama said nothing of the sort. Further, the "Republicans" didn't say that either, one or two SPECIFIC ones did. Saying that modern oil rigs are safe and that there was no spill from rigs during Katrina and Rita is a bald-faced, multiply repeated lie.

If you're providing aid for only 1 side, then the other side might as well shoot you.

QUOTE (joeynach @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:22 PM) That seems like a mechanical issue; body positioning, follow through, rotation, etc. But...if you're suffering from a tired arm, those things can be the qualities you lose.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:30 PM) So what happened to Buehrle to be out this early?? Tossed after Joe West called 2 B.S. balks on him, Guillen was tossed for arguing the first, Buehrle was tossed for dropping his glove after the 2nd (and therefore showing up the ump).

QUOTE (fathom @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:20 PM) I thought it was interesting to hear another fan base bash their hitting coach so early into his tenure. Any time a team's bats slump at all they're going to go after the hitting coach. It's the easiest target. Pujols has had a down month? FIRE THE HITTING COACH!

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:28 PM) am I seeing this right? The Euro is now .81 to the dollar? Craziness. Might be changing my honeymoon plans in October... Unless something huge happened recently (similar to the 1000 point drop a few weeks ago) I don't think you're looking at that right. Edit: Link.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:25 PM) but it's worse that Obama is a hypocrite in that he claims to dislike big oil, yet they're money is a-ok with him. less than 2 months ago Obama was defending big oil and saying that there really was no risk to drilling offshore. Using the Republicans own lie about there being no oil spills after Katrina/Rita to do it.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:25 PM) So much for getting a top prospect for Sabathia. LaPorta is looking awful I thought at the time there was probably a reason why the Brewers were willing to part with him but not Escobar.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) the bottom of this indians order is just atrocious Jason Donald is rapidly becoming a Sox-killer.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:14 PM) Cardinals and Reds have some major starting pitching issues. Cardinals have 3 rookies in their starting rotation. The Cards fans I work with despise Mark McGwire as their hitting coach, as they feel he stresses home runs and not contact. Reds also have both Chapman and possibly later in the year Volquez waiting in the wings. Cardinals have 3 rookies there because of injury, which you can't say isn't going to hit the Cubs as well. And you actually think the pitching coach has that much of an impact that it could cost them the division?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:07 PM) BP paid a lot of bribe money to Obama in the past. He's just coming through on his part of the deal. So, from now on, you both will agree with me 100% of the time that pro-oil company policies are entirely driven by who gets the most money from them, and we shouldn't be voting for the people the oil companies support after this disaster? Great, I'll be thrilled to see you both voting Democrat this fall. John McCain ® $2,402,937 Barack Obama (D) $898,251 Or, does campaign funding only influence Democrats?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:07 PM) no reason to believe he can't do it here. Except for how crappy his overall performance has been.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:06 PM) Randy is back out there. You have to, you really have to. Especially if you can get through Branyan with him somehow.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:04 PM) Randy would get the win if this lead holds They really need to get an extra inning out of williams.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 26, 2010 -> 01:00 PM) Could also work if TCQ comes up big here and the Sox win. There was a time when I'd feel like typing something like that would make Carlos angry. Now he's worried about hitting a bird with a popup.

T-hen it up!

Mark Kotsay is intentionally walked to get to Carlos Quentin. If we lose this game, that's my game wrapup title.
