QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 11:44 AM) Edwards/Craig in 2012 baby!!! Senator Vitter is pissed at you for leaving him out.

Any sign of Reddy yet? I don't want to rub it in, I just want to hear the reaction from a die-hard Edwards supporter.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 08:50 AM) First year only. After that, it was back to normal. And, when the national limit was repealed and 33 states increased their limit, fatalities went to record lows. But, that's being superimposed on a nationwide trend of fewer automobile fatalities stretching back decades as safety standards on automobiles have tightened up and other laws (DUI's, seatbelts) have been more stringently enforced.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 11:14 AM) i'll throw out the first joke... guess John Edwards really knows what its like to have "Two America's". One where you have a wife battling cancer, and one where you have a little somethin-somethin on the side. And since we're deservedly bashing the man...hell let's note the old story about what happened to their other son a decade ago.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 09:38 AM) What I thought of here was on 9/11 when the passengers of one of the planes stopped the terrorists from crashing it into whatever building they were aiming for. I think a lot people, at least Americans, would band together against someone doing such a terrible deed even if some damage had already been done. (Who's to say he wouldn't go after someone else with that knife?) If he was say, trying to go after the driver while the bus was moving, then of course you have to try to stop him. The first rule for any responder is to make sure you don't become a victim yourself, because all that does is make it harder on everyone. More EMT's required, more blood spilled, more risk. If a person is having a genuine psychologic episode that you can't deal with, and he's not putting anyone else in danger, the rule is to back off and wait for more advanced personnel. The only reason to violate that rule is if he's legitimately putting other people in danger with his behavior.

Go get em Mark.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 08:13 AM) Isnt Obama the one saying that seniors should no longer have to pay tax on their social security? Wouldn't that be LESS taxes on seniors? My word that would be rough on the budget.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 07:34 PM) Good job Jimmy, he was pitching around him for sure. Konerko is hitting .195 against lefties.

Link.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 06:24 PM) Maybe he can call up to the booth and get 11 singles changed to 4 doubles and a triple. That'd kill his batting average.

Fields?

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 07:18 PM) Then we should get Don Rickles to be our catcher. He can go out to the mound and insult Javy so that he gets real mad and stuff. This is the new plan to make Javy an excellent pitcher. AJ's catching today. If that doesn't do it... Maybe we need someone to insult him in spanish.

3 inning save?

Konerko is 2/3 and is 5/16 with 2 home runs in August.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 05:50 PM) People I don't want to see out of the lineup. Ramirez, Quentin and Dye. Mix and match the rest of the DH types to get Griffey in. Taking one of those guys out screws our offense up. Unfortunately...especially with Dye...occasionally people need rest.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 05:41 PM) Garland would look good in the #5 spot. How would a Fields/Uribe left side of the infield look?

OK, wtf is with the ground rule doubles today?

You know he deserves it.

Chris Williams undergoes back surgery. How long you think until someone posts a full thread on this without noticing I put it here first?

And there it goes. Better this inning than last I guess.

49 pitches for Javy through 2.1. That's not good.

Well, Javy gets out of it...

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 05:31 PM) But he's a free swinger and his OBP is never good. Not to mention he is one of the slowest players on the team. Why not have Swisher or Griffey there? Well, here's your question. Do you want a guy in that slot hitting .229 or .247? The #2 slot is one where I actually care about batting average, because I want the guy putting the ball in play and being able to move runners along before God and JD come up. Griffey I could tolerate, maybe, because his BA is a little higher than Swisher's. I just don't like a guy hitting .230 coming up before the deity.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 05:15 PM) We need to get AJ out of the 2 spot. He's hitting .294 in August. He had a bit of a down July, but he's hitting .291 out of that slot. You could argue that Alexei would be sexier there because Alexei is just that good, but AJ has been fairly solid and consistent out of that hole.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 05:05 PM) Am I an idiot. I see one that says last 10 starts, ERA in the mid 4's than another showing his ERS in June and July (10 starts) and neither of them are even above 5. Are we sure 4.61 isn't his season long ERA? His full ERA at Charlotte appears to be 4.89.
