Anyone read the story about the sidewalks on the Trib's main page today? Here's a reply that someone left regarding the story. Made me laugh because I feel the same way:

QUOTE(southsideirish @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:45 PM) A game here or there does not make a solid player. It makes Tuffy Rhodes or Jerome Walton. So the fact that he had a better batting average, more HRs, more RBIs, more walks, more runs, less strikeouts, and a better OBP last year as opposed to 2005 makes him similar to Tuffy Rhodes? Get a clue.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:29 PM) Too bad he hasn't done a thing since 2005. And everyone else is overreacting? Heh The 7 RBIs in 2 innings vs Houston last year was luck.

My sig barely changes each day as I update it. You would think occasionally we'd face a pitcher that is so off that we'd put up a huge inning here or there. We haven't come close to anything like that. Even when pitchers look awful and are throwing meatballs all night we don't take advantage. Heck, we can't even get lucky and play a game where the other team's defense gives up several runs to lead to a blow out. What's the most we scored in a single game? 6? 7?

Lets face it. There are only a handful of relievers in all of baseball that are dominating year in and year out. We have some pretty solid guys in our pen but none of them are elite.

That is depressing to read Balta.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ May 9, 2007 -> 09:42 AM) The Sox are very capable of reeling off a ten game winning streak and be on top. What have you seen in the last 100 regular season games that makes you think that would happen?

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ May 8, 2007 -> 10:57 PM) I hate Ozzie Guillen. Thanks for ruining my night, asshole. That pretty much summed up my feelings as I went to bed last night.

Well that was a fun game.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 8, 2007 -> 10:06 PM) Is Damaso Marte available to end this game quickly? No but the white version of him is.

Is it possible for gameday to suck anymore? EDIT: Oh now it works. Sheesh

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 8, 2007 -> 07:53 PM) God Hawk is annoying. LOL. I just remembered your avatar is a googled image of some random guy named Brian Anderson.

How did Alex get so bad?

QUOTE(fathom @ May 8, 2007 -> 04:15 PM) I'm going to be incredibly pissed off if when he comes back, he shows some of the same issues he's had recovering in the past where he wasn't confident in his jumps/reads. If Pods returns to the lineup, he better be full speed. It's like a broken record. You know he'll re-injure it soon enough.

Doesn't matter. Sweeney is the man.

Today is the day that Minnesota begins its downward spiral. Book it.

I saw a homeless man wearing a Sox cap last Thursday.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 8, 2007 -> 01:43 PM) No, they didn't get ripped up and down for flying to their debates, they got ripped up and down for yelling at me about my SUV and telling me I have to change MY lifestyle without changing their own. Which candidate yelled at you and your SUV and additionally told you to change your lifestyle? Please provide some links or quotes.

Watched Laurel Canyon over the weekend. I had a feeling of anger after watching it. The characters made me uneasy. Francis Mcdormand was terrific in it though and Kate Beckinsale was fun to look at. Not one of Christian Bale's better roles. I didn't find him believable as a psychiatrist.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 8, 2007 -> 12:22 PM) I'm seriously thinking of switching from Dish to D-TV. BS, have you had both, or just a good experience with D-TV? I did not have Dish Network. Just commenting on DirecTv which I've had for about 7 years. http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/conte...ssetId=P4130030

This is stupid. I picked Maggie Gyllenhaal over Selma Blair and was wrong. I tried it again and this time I picked Selma Blair and was still wrong.

I have DirecTv and get to see all the Sox games. I would recommend DirecTv as I have never had any problems and their customer service has been very good to me. Plus they are getting a boatload of additional HD channels later this year.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ May 8, 2007 -> 10:47 AM) And although we regulate where and when and how much we drink...almost nobody enforces most of these until it's too late...which is why drunk driving is *still* a common occurance. So...so much for public protection, since it's such a HUGE killer of innocents. Smoking and drinking are very different. Standing in a room filled with drinkers is not the same as standing in a room full of people smoking. The smoking WILL affect your health. Standing in a room filled with people drinking will not affect your health.
