QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 10:51 AM) maybe im missing something here, but hasn't nearly every member of Congress gone to Iraq by now? Some members of the Cabinet have as well. Hasn't Tony Blair gone as well. Is this really a big deal? When Bush makes a trip to Texas it makes news. He's the President.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 10:15 AM) The schedule evens out after 162 games. Any team that can't beat the tough ones and handle a rough schedule doesn't belong on top. I think the Sox can handle it. Not exactly any more. With the unbalanced schedules and the focusing on rivalries in Interleague play, some things do get screwed up. The Cub/Astro fans have been pretty unhappy the last few years when the Cardinals have had the luxury of 2 series against the Royals in interleague play, while the Cubs drew the Sox. Also, ther'es a lot of disparity between the divisions too...the NL West was ripe for the plucking last year, and looks much stronger this year.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 07:35 AM) So does this mean we should cancel the Dick Cheney Indictment Watch? Well, not necessarily, because Libby may well have worked closer with Cheney than Rove. But it probably does reduce the odds. At least it seems that the President's office itself wasn't involved, and that appears to be a good thing.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 09:57 AM) I'm not a doctor or even close to one, so I ask for the help of somebody that would know about this.....but wouldn't a 9 inch gash on your head be life threatening with all the blood you could lose? As long as it doesn't cut a major artery, the amount of blood you will lose will be decent, but not life threatening, unless it's not treated. He was certainly in the hands of paramedics within a few minutes and they would have worked to control the bleeding. And as long as you keep a certain amount of blood in your system, you can stay alive long enough to reach a hospital and get an infusion of O-. If he had a 9 inch gash running across his aorta, that's a different story.

The Good news? The odds of him being drafted #16 just went way down.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 05:21 PM) the duque until about september i believe...maybe it was late august. With the exception of El Duque's DL stint in the middle of the year.

Which, interestingly, is roughly as useful as Garcia and Garland are on the mound now.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 05:08 PM) I'd like to see him run a bit more when he gets on, he runs extremely well. See, the problem is not Anderson running...it's Anderson getting on base.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 05:03 PM) well.. at least we wont get a double play this inning. Give us time...Anderson gets on, Podsednik strikes out, ball gets away, pods gets to first, Anderson thrown out going to 3rd.

36 pitches for Jose through 3.

3 double plays in 3 innings.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 04:47 PM) I'm thinking of that Family Guy scene where Peter bumps his shin (sp?) and holds it in pain for 2 minutes. I believe it was actually his knee.

It would be really nice to Drive Koronka from the game this inning, and wear down that Texas bullpen really early. Benoit is warming for Texas.

Anyone Realize the Rangers have turned 2 double plays already this game?

Thome needs to work on patience at the plate. In his own words, when he starts seeing a lot of pitches/taking walks, that's when he starts to get locked in.

QUOTE(BFirebird @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 04:35 PM) More importantly for Anderson, 2 good days in a row. Even better is that fix.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 04:34 PM) who the f*** is "Taguchi"?? He plays for St. Louis.

Tampa Bay up 1-0 on Detroit in the 2nd. Kazmir on the mound.

Anderson and Uribe with back to back hits. Checks for rapture...

Come on Brian...keep it going!!!

Wow, they're trying to make those man-law commercials into radio spots now, and yeesh, that was bad.

14 pitch first for Jose. 18 for Koronka.

So, Here's an update on that Truthout.org "Karl Rove to be indicted" article from a month ago. Now the author is saying that the day Fitzgerald met with the Grand Jury, an indictment was returned, but it has remained sealed for a month, with the parties remaining unnamed. He's saying the indictmment is currently read as "Sealed v. Sealed". So, if the original article was taken with a grain of salt, this one should probably be taken with one of those water softener salt blocks.

Time for Jose to pitch well with the lead. Let's hope he can get back some form, he threw a lot of pitches last time out, and has been just a little bit off from his dominating self since returning from the DL.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 04:17 PM) Oh good god Cora.... Why send PK on a hit to CF to Hairston?? Jesus Who "Sends" someone on a fly ball when a guy's at 2nd?
