The 2nd city just beat the first city! Man you don't know how happy I am right now. PODS!!!! Jeter... Weeeeeee...are the champions, my friend...And We will keep on fighting to the end...(will sing again in late october)

The upstart bastards on the South Side of Chicago just gave a bloody nose to the evil empire in New York.

PODS WON! Doing a nice happy dance... Terry Francona...You have your new Dave Roberts. Now give us home field advantage in October.

And Cooper says his source allowed him to release his name in court so he wouldn't have to spend time in prison like Miller. When are we going to find out already? When does he testify? I think he already has, but it was before a grand jury, and thus the testimony is currently sealed. We will find out what he said when and if Fitzgerald hands down indictments. Before that, it is basically requried to be a secret by the law.

Juggernaut...for the most part, the oil fields in the Caspian sea area have turned out to be disappointing in their volume and production yields. They'll produce some, but even adding in pipelines won't be enough to keep up with the global growth in oil demand.

Come on man, you can't do junk like this...posting 10 minutes beforehand without telling us where you heard it.

QUOTE(tony72 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 05:29 PM) yes- one day he looked like Cy Young and the next he looked as if he should pitch in the little leagues...I guess the Yankees just got tired of his inconsistency.. The frustrating this is...he HAS THE TALENT AND POTENTIAL..but can't seem to seal the deal.. You know what? If my 4th starter can outright win 1 out of every 2 games, or maybe a little bit better than that...I'm happy with that. Because if I'm a good team, my offense will find a way to come through on some of my 4th guy's bad starts, and sometimes my bullpen will hold together enough to get me a couple more wins. I don't expect a 4th starter to go 20-3. That's Buehrle's job. I want him to give us a chance to win in about half of his games.

Rooney has said a couple of times that it looks like the Count is throwing a lot more fastballs than forkballs todayl.

Crawford leads off with a double off of Everett's glove.

Does anyone know if there was a precipitous drop in the total number of posts here over the last 2 days? I know I for one spent most of my usual posting time voting for Scottie.

My God, I swear if Pods wins this damn thing he better take some of his all-star bonus and buy me a pair of glasses.

IT'S OVER!!!!

3-0 Twinkies in the 5th, Santana has allowed 1 hit since the first inning.

QUOTE(BDavisFutureHOF @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) Holy s*** -- just got the same confirm # for a second time I'm not totally sure that baseball has a good random number generator running the thing...Technically out of 100000 possible numbers I should get a number that is below 1000 only 1 out of 100 times, and I'm absolutely certain they've been more common than that on me.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) You see, when I found out the name of the project, I thought it might have been a porno director suing for the naming rights.... I'm still quite impressed that both JPL and Hollywood came up with the name completely independently.

This is why Ross Gload needs to receive a roster spot whenever he's actually healthy...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) The question that no one is asking is why are we at capacity? I think I know why, and I wish I had a way to test my theory. Actually a lot of people are asking that question. Here is the best answer I can give you; we're at capacity because there's a limit to how much oil is in the ground and how fast it can be pumped out.

Twins are currently up 2-0 on the Halos in the 2nd inning.

I still don't think he should play in Detroit.

It sounds like the guy he ran into took some decent damage...

I managed to slip a Brandon McCarthy question into the Jim Cialis (Baseball America) chat @ ESPN.com today, and another person got in a Jenks question. Here they are, before the chat goes insider.

I still say it's a mistake to assume that when one of the best hitters of our generation takes 1 year off of baseball for an injury and has his average drop a bit when he comes back, his average will stay that low. Anywho...the guys on BBTN last night showed that clip...and they literally almost burst into laughter...I believe there were a few "wows" spoken, amongst some other things. They gave that blast some decent credit.

I would give them Timo for Wood, because that would get Timo off of our roster and when Wood got hurt it would open up the roster spot so that Ozzie would have no choice but to put Gload in it.
