QUOTE (lostfan @ May 23, 2008 -> 06:22 PM) Floyd's only thrown 75 pitches... throw him out there again for the 6th and see if he gets it back? Yes.

Time for BA or Alexei to tie this up.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 23, 2008 -> 05:53 PM) I hope that teams don't catch on to this. There are an awful lot of pitchers that work that way, so I doubt it matters, as long as you have good stuff.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 23, 2008 -> 05:36 PM) hate that we couldn't get a run across last inning - Saunders is stingy. You don't get to be stingy without being able to work out of a jam or two.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2008 -> 03:56 PM) Season-ending, I would assume. Didn't Orlando Hudson tear a ligament in his thumb last season and miss the remainder? I just googled the phrase "Torn thumb ligament" and came up with a couple NBA ones, Artest, Bibby both had that issue in the last year (poor kings!). Both times they cited 8-10 weeks as the recovery time. Same deal for Andy Laroche.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2008 -> 03:51 PM) It's what Bruce Levine reported around 5:20. Worst-case scenario is he has a torn ligament in his thumb they can't find yet. That's unlikely though. So, let's hypothetically imagine he has that issue and needs the surgery. Recovery time?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2008 -> 03:29 PM) Ask and you shall receive. PK likely out this entire wknd. Anderson to start in CF, Swisher at 1b. No wonder they called up another OF. They're down to Pablo.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2008 -> 03:31 PM) PK had a cortisone shot today, and likely will be out this wknd. The ligament injury is bad though, and if it doesn't get better, it's possible they might have to explore the surgery route. Ouch. Any idea on a worst-case scenario?

After last year's unexpected and dramatic decline in Arctic sea ice, there are more than a few people watching that area with some concern this year. First report from the beginning of summer doesn't sound good.

An off day for Konerko? Sweet Jesus. (Faints).

Rock em Sock Em Richar!

Bring in da noise, Bring in da bats, Danny. And no, I don't know what that means either.

Here's Hillary's statement/apology thingy.

Haven't been big in to Weezer in a while now, but this is pretty good.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:05 PM) Maybe Wise can make an impact off the bench, however, I figure we'll see very little of him. Are you kidding? Somehow I think this just means we'll see less of Anderson.

DOT PR.

Wow, this is convenient thread timing. Senator "Tubes" Stevens in December seems to have requested that the Department of Energy undertake a study to see how much opening up ANWR would have dropped the price of oil. Their answer? $.75 a barrel.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:35 PM) She just needs to go away now. LINK FWIW, here's the full video of the remarks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:16 PM) Is it 3:30 yet? Of course not, that's 2:10 away. Crazy time travelers.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:08 PM) 50 makes more sense to me. I have a quick connection. I do most of the time...but when I'm at home on Sunday I'm still on dial up, so 25's a happy medium.

Oh come on Hillary...you're skipping on the bill at my Alma Mater now?

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:43 PM) New Page You folks should really change to 25 posts per page. it's just annoying otherwise.

Gavin...just destroy them.

Joe Biden has an excellent WSJ piece on this matter today.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:15 AM) You do realize that there is a constitutional amendment that changed that and more importantly, WHY, right? Aaron Burr rules.
