QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 06:57 PM) Andy belongs back in AAA... bring up Anderson for all I care. At least he has talent. Well, one good thing came out of tonight. While I was watching wrestling during commercials, there was a commercial for the new Adam Sandler movie w/ Kevin James in it to go along with the smoking hot Jessica Biel. Looks like a good one. If Anderson was healthy, sure, I'd be open to that. But he ain't.

I think I like the idea of a runnign "White Sox loser" thread. How long can it go?! 4 hits. 9 innings. Paul Maholm. Andy Gonzalez goes up, 2 outs, bases loaded in the 9th, 2 guys before him both have walked, and he swings at the first freaking pitch. Wow.

4 hits in 9 innings. Paul Maholm and Shawn Chacon. Bases loaded in the 9th, pitcher walks 2 straight guys, and one of the rookies pops out on the first pitch. Doesn't someone have the job to say "take a pitch or two"?

The 2 guys before you walk, so you swing at the first pitch to end the game.

Hey, we got a 4th hit, sweet!

Wow, I looked away and the inning ended.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 06:07 PM) ick dewon That 5.63 ERA he's sporting stands as 3rd best in our bullpen.

3 hits. 7 innings. Pual Maholm.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 05:01 PM) Combine all that with the fact that the "big boppers" on offense are all (except Thome) having 10th percentile type years, and vwala! That fact is what suggests to a lot of people that they don't care.

Iguchi's actually hitting .340 .333 in June.

Not only a first inning hit, but even a first inning lead. WOW!

QUOTE(ChiSoxFan @ Mar 21, 2004 -> 11:36 PM) Yeah, and Honel, Wing, Meaux, Diaz, Sweeney, Anderson, Reed won't be worth a damn. Yep, we're headed for purgatory hell! Gotta admit, I'm impressed.

This may or may not really be his, but it is at Louisville.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 12:22 PM) Oh YEA the guest worker program... :puke. Although, I'd be in favor of it, if it were actually a serious alternative, and they could not get any government benefits. They would WORK, tax-free, as contractors, and they would get NO benefits. No welfare, no social security, no health, no nothing... the only "benefit" they would get is to use our structure, and they would only pay taxes on what they buy in the states (through sales taxes that goes to local government anyway, and that's where it should go). Then, they could apply for citizenship, and only be eligible for benegits AFTER they got accepted as a citizen, through the proper channels. Oh, by the way, they would probably be making more, because they will have worked their way up. So, in other words, you agree with everything in the current immigration bill except for the fact it allows some benefits to be conferred upon guest workers before they attain citizenship? Also, I'm not sure you've completely thought this through. For example, working with no health benefits. Fine. So what happens when some of those 10 million folks do get sick? Are they just allowed to die? If the government is forbidden from spending money on them and they don't receive health benefits through their insurance, then basically they're unable to get treatment in anything except an ER for any illness or injury they have (ER's having no ability under current law to refuse emergency cases). This is one of the major problems with our current insurance disaster; it's so expensive to go to an ER that it's a horrid waste of money when used as the only means of treatment.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 15, 2007 -> 10:50 AM) I don't know. Spurs didn't exactly impress anyone with the exception of Tony Parker's play. Detroit may have been able to contain him a tad more. Of course we would of had games with final scores like 65-60. I think we need to lock Ben Gordon in a room for about a week with nothing except videos of Tony Parker.

A question I'd like to discuss: Why is it that it's forbidden to both be wealthy and to promote policies that would benefit those less wealthy than you?

A pitcher who's 4-3 with a 3.42 ERA in the AL versus a pitcher who's 2-9 with a 5.33 ERA in the NL. Jesus Christ on paper this should be a cakewalk. I'm almost terrified by that.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 14, 2007 -> 08:58 PM) congratulations to the SA spurs, 4 titles in 9 years=dynasty Is 4 titles in 9 years really a Dynasty to you guys? I mean, at least to me, during the same time the Spurs picked up those 4, the Lakers picked up 3 and lost in another finals. Shaq has picked up as many rings in the last 9 years as Duncan. I'm not sure I'm convinced by this one.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jun 14, 2007 -> 07:46 PM) of course! did we even get any oil out of the Iraq invasion? I thought that some Iraq oil was supposed to pay for some of this whole thing. I'm sure that got totally botched as well. Iraq is producing significantly less oil per day than it was before the invasion, I believe, because all of the oil facilities and pipelines keep being blown up, and the hundreds of millions of dollars we dumped into trying to repair those systems were often totally wasted by the contractors. The U.S. is still trying to convince the Iraqis to pass an oil revenue bill that would be very favorable to U.S. oil companies as I understand it (someone who has paid more attention will probably know more about that) and the U.S. has cited it as one of the benchmarks the Iraqis should accomplish ASAP, but that bill has been tied up in the Iraqi parliament for what seems like a year now.

QUOTE(forrestg @ Jun 14, 2007 -> 05:57 PM) Even bring Floyd up to see if he has what it takes. Bringing up Floyd right now, when he may well just be figuring a few things out, seems like a terrible idea to me. At least let him get a little comfortable in AAA before bringing him up

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 14, 2007 -> 06:27 PM) It's pretty much THAT simple. Sadly, no it isn't, because that's still 12 million people to arrest and 12 million jobs to fill and a movement of 12-20 million people. That adds up to having to displace more people than there were displaced people due to war in the entire world in all of 2006 according to theUN HC on Refugees.
