QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Oct 2, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) You know there aren't many bars that I've been to that often set a three drink maximum. Not everyone smokes in a bar either. Not everyone is even bothered by smoke in a bar. But some people are. Not everyone drinks in a bar. Not everyone gets trashed and drives in a bar. But I know, from personal experience, that some do. Not everyone smokes in a bar, yet they are all forced to inhale the same air.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Oct 2, 2005 -> 08:47 AM) I agree, but I don't think a few clicks is going to help pay his salary much. No, but think about your reaction to it, added to the Sunday edition crowd, added to that whoever reads the Suntimes online. The Suntimes know that Jay gets readers. Especially now that he is telling everyone his opinions on ESPN, now they have the casual Suntimes reader looking at his columns. I will say this much, Jay is really going to have to do some massive pissing people off to get fired. At this point, he is a monster who is going to have to be his own undoing. Knowing his personality, I see it as possible. But he is (unfortunately) smart, so it isnt very probable.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Oct 2, 2005 -> 08:33 AM) When will the Sun-Times fire this hack of a reporter? He will be fired when people dont react to him the way you just did. Its unfortunate, but its true. In the media, there are no good ratings and bad ratings, only ratings. If you react, thats attention.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Oct 2, 2005 -> 12:05 AM) His mom makes him wear it. That's what i heard. Thats less than funny.

i just saw it. That poor kids ankle was like jello

I see the White Sox are going to begin and end the second half of the season by b**** slapping the Cleveland Indians. Hey Dick Allen, do you still think benching some of the starters is going to come back to haunt the White Sox?

I dont know if any of you guys agree with me or not, but the last 3 games have felt much like the first half of the year with me. The Sox just have a swagger about themselves again, and you can see that they feel that they can pull anything out if they want. 2 weeks ago, they would have caved and lost the game last night in the ninth, with runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Sure, Hermanson let the tying run come in, but he was in a tough spot, and got out of it without losing the game. Like the Cars say, Let the Good Times Roll.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 1, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) I bet a lot of hitters are like that against Millwood this season anyway. He's going to get a very nice deal from someone this off-season, maybe Detroit. Cleveland would s*** a gold brick if that happened. But it very well might, Im fairly sure Bora$$ is Millwoods agent, and Bora$$' new patsy is Illitch.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 1, 2005 -> 10:01 AM) I guess no one wanted to take on the workplace safety implications The "Stop Smoking in Chicago" coalition has taken care of that. I just saw a commercial where a former waitress explains how she got throat cancer and never smoked a day in her life. Then some stats on how second hand smoke is 16X more dangerous than inhaled smoke pop up. Its covered

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=250404104 I stand corrected

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 10:58 PM) Yes he was I thought he was sent to extended ST because his shoulder was bothering him?

QUOTE(VAfan @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 10:56 PM) I count 3 Ross Gload rooters on this post. Where have you been while I've been getting beat up relentlessly in numerous other posts for suggesting that Ozzie actually use Gload?? I know this. Neither Geoff Blum nor Timo Perez could have driven that ball to the wall in the 13th. I hope Gload gets to play again Sunday. Tomorrow I expect Ozzie will have most of his regulars back. How many times did Gload strike out with a chance to score runs tonite? Gload did nothing to help his chances with me. It took him 13 innings to come through, when he had chances before, like the 1st inning, to do damage.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) I was going back and forth with that one. I really think you could take either. I just think that Gload has a little more pop from the left side though. He also is smooth in the field which would make him a great defensive replacment. Remember opening day. Yeah, I remember. Gload wasnt with the team.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) It was a s***fest waiting to happen. I know, I laughed pretty hard at your one response in the thread.

Whoa, that Borchard thread got closed quick

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 10:27 PM) We have won inspite of Ozzie this year. Im sorry but it had to be said. He doesn't know how to manage a pitching staff. Marte should never of been out there. Did you really say that? Everyone is complaining about the lineup and you are crying about Marte trying to get some outs in a meaningless game to get his confidence up? GMAFB, the Sox won.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) So you won't b**** ever when the Sox need some help, and the team they need the help from throws a line-up like this on the field? That's fine. Personally, I would be pissed. What if Ozzie is starting his "B" lineup in the first game, and starting his regulars the next two games? Maybe he is resting the regulars today because they need a rest after a 4 game series and a big celebration. Its not as if he is pulling his pitchers, Garland is still pitching. And why would the Sox be wanting to help any other team right now? They need to be worried about their own house, and not worried about a potential 3 team wildcard playoff. Boston, New York, and the Indians got themselves in that predicament, not the White Sox. The White Sox (finally) clinched their division, and now have the right to rest their regulars. You know that Boston, New York, and Cleveland would all be doing the same thing if the positions were switched.

QUOTE(IndplsSoxFan @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 02:34 PM) AJ will be a guest coorespondant on Jim Rome Is Burning today. I used to have to listen to Rome when i lived in Carbondale because he was the only sportstalk on during middays. I dont have to listen to him in Chicago now(thank god), but I have been curious about how Rome would react to AJ being on the Sox. Rome used to really get off on ripping on the Sox with AJ, now the shoe is on the other foot.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) I don't know my late Pleistocene LA Basin rainfall that well, although I think it might have been higher. I think you should study up before you go around making wild assumptions

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 02:13 PM) They seem to pop up for 1 very good reason...the weather. In the late fall, California tends to get large, high pressure airmasses that form up in the high deserts - the Mojave, etc. These things can sit up there, and the air from them starts pushing itself south towards the lower pressure areas in the valleys, the L.A. basin, etc. So what happens is you have a lot of dry air moving from the deserts south and west into the valleys and the basins. This sets up your classic tinderbox...the air and heat dry out plants, then when something does ignite, the dry air just feeds it. Out here they call it the Santa Ana wind. This year has a chance to be particularly bad, because of all the rain this area got last winter. It got so much rain that it fed a lot of plant growth during the rainy season, and then all those plants got to spend the summer drying out. There's a ton of brush up in those mountains that has the potential to burn off this year if the winds stay favorable. Just out of curiosity, do you think this is something that has been happening for 1000's of years, a natural burning for arguments sake, or do you think this is happening due to human error and presence? IIRC when Yellowstone had that fire (late 80s? early 90's?), after the fact most scientists were saying that this was a good thing. A clearing of the old to make way for the young, if you will.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 02:14 PM) Now Wino on the other hand is Mr All-America. He buys his friends beers, volunteers to feed the poor. That alone should merit the Mr All-America award

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 02:07 PM) Someone told me that Rex is a [gasp] communist and he HATES America... Plus he kicks puppies... CUTE puppies. I heard about that. Something about a cuddling-induced rage......

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) I didn't switch my identity. Someone else switched it for me after I made a comment saying that I thought about legally changing my real name to Rex Kickass. I could keep either name. So I put it to you, the electorate. However, I find this all funny and definitely amusing enough for a poll. So there. Then Rex it is!

QUOTE(whitesoxjr27 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) i agree with nuke 100%. i started smoking at 15 or 16 i dont recall which one. i quit smoking on aug 9th 2005. i'm 27 now. i enjoyed smoking. i will miss it 20 years from now. if you dont like cigarettes dont go into bars. wanna start a smoke free bar go for it. bars and cigarettes just fit together. goverment needs to stop sticking its noise where it does not belong. if i was a bar owner and they banned smoking in my bar and i started losing tons of money cause people who smoke cant come into my bar. i would go off on someone. Do you think all bars would lose business if they all became smoke free? I dont. See, in the scenario that you guys insist (start up a smoke free bar if you dont like it), the smokeless bar owner does risk losing business, because smokers can go to a bar which allows smoking. if there is a smoking ban, the drinkers and smokers wont stop drinking at a bar because it is smoke free. They would all be smoke free.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) Were the black ones the only shiny ones? I was under that impression since I didn't really notice it with the red ones. I think the Bulls have done a better job than most of updating their uniforms and still maintaining the class of the uniform. All I have to do is look at the fashion atrocities that Dallas, Golden State, La Clips, Denver, Washington and countless others have thrown onto their team, and I know that the Bulls are always gonna look better. Only now they are trying to play better.
