QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 11:29 AM) While we're on the subject, my sister in law has the coolest male Boxer. Why do they recommend they be fixed? Once fixed will he totally quit humping things and people? Will he be lethargic and boring? QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 2, 2006 -> 02:41 AM) He'll be less moody, but he'll still hump. You gotta fix em between 9 mos. and 1 yr if you don't want them to hump. Male dogs sort of hold on to the hormones past 1 year old. I got my basset fixed at around 1 1/2 and boy do I regret it. He still marks territory, and while he is housetrained, he has "Accidents" that are more like "Purposes" because he is either mad at me or he is trying to let my fathers male dog know who is in charge(which is completely laughable because my Dads dog is a Rott/Shephard mix. Think midget vs giant). But I have made up my mind that unless I decide to breed a dog in the future, females are the route for me from now on. If you get em when they are young(9months-1 year) they are usually much more passive. Think of the eunichs in "History of the World Part 1".

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) To get Crawford, it would take Fields, Rogowski, Ray Liotta, and Charlie Haeger [maybe Sean Tracey instead]. That's a deal I could live with. That is only if Crawford could play CF on a regular basis. BTW any one know how many games he's played in CF? To get a young guy like Crawford in his prime locked up for a few years, to go with the sox pitching, that'd be worth it. I dont think it would take a 4 for 1 deal to get Crawford, unless the Sox get into a bidding war.

QUOTE(DannyCooksey @ May 31, 2006 -> 06:28 PM) This is an excerpt from one of the best websites ever created. www.heavethehawk.com. The following pretty much says it all. I cannot see how anyone could dispute this because the guy that wrote this depicts Hawk perfectly without a hint of embellishment. This is your announcer, Hawk Harrelson: Hawk Harrelson, for those who have had the misfortune of listening to him, is a horrible announcer. In fact, he is without question, the worst announcer in all of sports and maybe in the history of sports. There is a great website called: www.heavethehawk.com for those who despise him as much as I do. Here is an excerpt from the site that I feel best describes hawk's vast ineptitude. Enjoy: I'm elated that this site exists. I am a huge baseball fan who moved to Chicago from Detroit about 6 years ago. I moved here with zero allegiances as far as the Chicago teams are concerned, and I endeavored to stay neutral. I root for the Tigers, but at the time they were nowhere near competing for the AL Central title, so any kind of rivalry against the White Sox was far from my mind. I enjoyed the idea of taking in some day games at Wrigley and some night games at Sox park. Then I met the fans. Look, I know this site is about heaving the Hawk, not about knocking White Sox fans, and I'm aware of the reputation of Cubs fans (as drunks who don't follow the game and don't care), but this was too much to ignore. Every time I tried to go there and mind my own business, to quietly score the game in peace, my intelligence was insulted and my patience tested by the biggest group of troglodyte jerks ever collected. Let's make something clear: there are many perfectly cool Sox fans out there. That being said, they are greatly outnumbered by vapid, angry, threatening, vile boneheads who are incapable of seeing a baseball game objectively. I'm convinced the Hawk is a big reason for this. Hawk gets on the air and he hoots, brays, smugly chortles, and, in the event that the Sox getting their asses handed to them, silently broods or whines his way through baseball games. He sees every single negative occurrence for the Sox as an injustice, and he sees every break they get as their Heaven-ordained entitlement. He hammers away at any reasonable viewer's sensibilities by repeating self-made yet hackneyed lines like "he gone!" and "he looks up...you can put-it-onna boooooaaarrrrd...YES!" and "STRETCH!", to name only a few. I like play-by-play guys and analysts who offer something different, and in general I'm delighted by the idiosyncrasies of down-home personalities like Vin Scully, Ernie Harwell, Harry Caray, Dizzy Dean, and the like, but this guy is one giant, bombastic, mind-numbing idiosyncrasy. He's a jackass like a bully in school is a jackass. He's every bloviating egomaniac who calls into sportstalk radio. He's an insufferable bastard, whether he's your uncle, your father-in-law, or your baseball broadcaster. The Hawk has helped to mold an army of fans who are permanently dissatisfied with their second-billing in the city and chronically incapable of seeing things objectively. Hawk will sing most Sox players' praises over and over again in such illogical ways that the notions are seared into the collective consciousness of the fan base. It's one thing to love your team and most of its players, but talk to a Sox fan and you would think that they are following the '27 Yankees. To top it off, they will ***** and moan unless they are given the kind of attention lavished upon the hapless Cubs. You know, the team across town, the one who plays in a stadium devoted to minimal amounts of advertising and keeping the environment clear of things like ear-splitting music and hideous displays of jingoism. Furthermore, Hawk screws up baseball games for people trying to watch on television. When a play-by-play or color analyst chooses to break something down or give some attention to something he thought was interesting or deserved a second look, the production team will follow suit. You'll get to see replays of nifty plays, weird bounces, brilliant pitches, or questionable calls. You'll get to see them unless they have rubbed Hawk and the dopey Colmes to his Hannity, DJ, the wrong way. The Sox get a favorable call or a weird bounce goes their way, and we get rhapsodic praise for the related Sox player instead of honest assessment of what went down. If an opposing player clobbers a homer to put his team ahead, we get dead air and a shot of something random because Hawk is sitting there silently sulking, like a retarded toddler deprived of the crayon he was trying to eat. Watch a real broadcast team with this in mind, and Hawk's lack of anything even resembling professionalism or sense of duty becomes painfully obvious. He is without a doubt the worst in the major leagues, and it isn't even close. I could go on and on like this because it really is that bad. It pisses me off that he gets to butcher that job every day. My point is, thanks for the site. Every bit of your bandwidth is hard earned richly deserved. Didnt you already do your "One shot in and im out" post and claim that you were never coming back? Then you come back with this? Come on man, you have better thoughts than this, I have seen them on VTalk. Dont try and stir the pot this way.

My male basset hound is super stubborn, and he has the male never-ending bladder as well. My female lab is a sweetheart and listens 100X better than he does.

My personal take on the song is that he is singing about his choice to leave Genesis. He seems to be singing about how he feels confined and how he sees something else in his life that he has to follow. This song will always be one of my favorites. edit: after reading a few of those sites it seems I am not the only one that feels that way

How come there were no Tigers vs Yankees threads?

Can anyone give me some feedback on Jim Thome's reception at the Jake this time around? Was it just as bad? I figured they might scale it back a bit because of all of the negative exposure they recieved after the first time Thome came back to Cleveland. QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 29, 2006 -> 07:16 PM) I only got to see the first 3 innings, but I did see 7 runs put on the board. That is strange, me too. We went to Lake Michigan to let my daughter swim. It was great until 3 when that shower blew through and sent us home early.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 28, 2006 -> 12:37 PM) I don't remember what Hudson brought to the A's, but Daric Barton, Danny Haren and Kiki Calero isn't much? Since when?

looks like that protest was a rousing success /green

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 28, 2006 -> 07:47 AM) I like Brian Anderson. I think Brian Anderson has great defense. I dont understand why he is so out of sorts at the dish. However for all of the, well x player plays great defense so they must play everyday no matter how bad their batting average is. We currently have 2 players well below the mendoza line. One is a rook, the other is a vet. I would like someone to explain how many contending teams over the years had one regular player below the mendoza line more or less two below. And the "well if we need x player to hit at the bottom of our lineup" then we are in trouble comments dont fly. At points in the season, you will need your bottom part of the lineup to work a bit. This is not the national league where you have a sub 200 hitter at the bottom of everyones lineup. I have seen some comparisons to Joe Crede on well everyone was all over Joe when he struggled. Joe wasnt hitting below 200 for a good part of the season. Having 2 autoouts at the bottom of the lineup doesnt kill you when you face a crap pitcher. Its when you face a good pitcher and you have them on the ropes and then Juan comes up after 2 guys draw walks and pops up on the first pitch thrown, and then Brian Ks leaving men on. We need both Anderson and Uribe to get their head out of their asss. I am absolutely disgusted with Uribe as opposed to Anderson. Uribe is a vet who has hit before. And having Farmer constantly harp on how Uribe says he is going deep before the game, every game and then watching him corkscrew himself into the ground doesnt help any. I would put Cintron in at SS, keep Anderson in CF with a platoon until they can make a move for someone in July if Anderson is still lost at the dish. Cintron doesnt give you the same D, but at least it gets 1 of the two autoouts out of the lineup. LOL, im sure Farmer loves that. He calls for homeruns from everyone

While a swap of Tejada and Matos/Patterson for Uribe/BA/minor leaguers would be enticing, I am going to have to say that this will be just a fantasy for us, nothing more.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 28, 2006 -> 05:50 AM) My cat's in a real bad way at the moment. It's had arthritis in its back leg for the past couple of years, but it's learnt to put up with it by being stronger with it's front paws so it can walk around. The past week or so, he's been getting worse, walking smaller distances. It's gotten to the stage today, where he can't actually walk at all anymore. So I have to pick him up so he can eat etc. It's going to the vet tomorrow, I won't be there cos I'll be at work, but I think when I come home, I won't be seeing it ever again unfortunately. Sorry to hear that DBAHO. Losing a pet is never a good thing, no matter if "he/she is going to a better place" or "out of their misery". You still miss your friend. If there was a pat on the back smily, I would use it.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 28, 2006 -> 07:04 AM) From what I understand, it costs a lot of money to climb Everest. I imagine, some people only get one shot. I'm not saying it's OK to leave a dying person on the side of a mountain, but if it's me climbing.....sorry Sucka. Also, there is no way these people can be rescued, they cannot be reached. The story of the climber walking past the dying man seems very callous when you read it at first, but then you realize that these climbers would have to carry him down the mountain and hope that your own oxygen doesnt run out. Everest seems like it is truly a "Do or Die" venture.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:22 PM) Some crazy Cubs fan w/ the SN CubsBullsBears went off on you in that thread. Oh well. No skin off my back

At this moment I am tremendously bored and arguing the definition of "suckerpunch" with a guy named Chocolate Milk and another named Transmogrified Tiger on northsidebaseball.com they really have a slanted view on what happened.

this aughtta be real good

QUOTE(credeisamazing @ May 27, 2006 -> 08:31 AM) AJ got fined $2,000. He's appealing it. He doesn't quite know why he got it since he didn't do anything, but that's pretty much pocket change for him. Joey Cora got suspended for 2 games because coaches aren't supposed to touch anything like that. they're not supposed to be in there, and he was closer and actually touching people (even though he was probably just trying to get them off of his players). coaches can't appeal, and 2 games isn't that much anyways. barrett is appealing his 10 games. he's probably going to only have to miss 8 games, but that's a lot for the cubs to miss someone so essential to their team. they're already doing bad, so that's a resonable punishment. anderson will most likely appeal his 5 games, but since mack's hot right now, i think he should just take it. 5 games isn't too much, and we're going to need his defense in the upcoming series'. all of you people that are complaining about barrett not getting more than 10 games, think of it this way. would you rather him have 15 games, but we not have pods and aj for awhile?? i don't think so. 10 games is a lot anyways. if we lost pods and aj, then we would be in some trouble. we need our speedy guy, and our guy with all the controversy. Why do you think that Pods and AJ would have to be suspended because Barrett got an extra 5 games on his suspension? One has nothing to do with the other, these things dont have to even out.

QUOTE(The Critic @ May 27, 2006 -> 08:53 AM) I thought it was 6(runs) x 9(innings) = 54.00 ERA? well, he only recorded one out in the inning, so theoretically he would have 6 runs per out. 6(runs) x 3(outs) x 9(innings)=162 ERA If im wrong and someone knows it, please correct me. This is how I thought it went.
