Anyone out there know when the 100 or so additional HD channels will finally make the air on DirecTv. The handful that are offered now are not cutting it for me.

QUOTE(JohnCangelosi @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 03:27 PM) Awesome. Have you ever seen this? From a fan's perspective at the park. Pretty much how I reacted that night... Dang. Youtube blocked here at work.

QUOTE(JohnCangelosi @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 03:18 PM) For me, that was the highlight of the WS run. I lost my voice for a few days after that shot... A bunch of us were at The Catcher's Inn on 35th when that happened. The place erupted. Beer flying everywhere....hugs and high fives to go around. What a memory.

QUOTE(JohnCangelosi @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 03:11 PM) It's down for me as well. I emailed the monkeys over there we'll see what happens. Just clicked the link in your sig and got goosebumps. What's going on in the game for those who have no access to it?

QUOTE(Colorado Sox Fan @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 01:20 PM) He gave him a shot and Anderson proved again that he is clueless at the plate. What exactly did Erstad do in ST to prove he deserves to play ahead of Brian?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 11:03 AM) Current forecast for Opening Day. High of 56, partly cloudy. Could be a lot worse! Way too early to look at that. Weather forecasts are only good about 1 or days in advance. I checked the forecast for Monday yesterday and it said 48. Who knows, tomorrow it'll say 75 for Monday.

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 04:20 PM) I find it ridiculous to blame Ozzie for having Hall play baseball. Like I posted earlier, Hall would be 6th or 7th on the depth chart for 1B. Why was he out there?

Anderson in LF and Erstad in CF? *scratches head*

From the Tribune:

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 02:11 PM) DARIN ERSTAD, isn't that one of the reasons they brought him in? He's supposed to be Gload except capable of playing the OF as well. No kidding. Hall should be 6th or 7th on the depth chart for 1B.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 02:08 PM) Because we don't have a 100 % back up first baseman. I think it was worth giving Hall a look at. It sucks he got hurt but im not blaming anyone for it. I'm sure hes not either. Well now we don't have a 100% backup catcher which IMO is more important.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 02:04 PM) Maybe should he wrap all his players in bubble wrap so they never get hurt. Its baseball, Its a sport. Players get hurt in all different ways. You cant blame a coach for playing his players. This isn't the X-Box or PS3. Hall would never be used at 1B all season so why throw him out there now?

Looks like Ozzie failed Fathom's #1 rule of managing.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 01:58 PM) (how often does a 1B tear something diving?) He's not a 1B though. He is not accustomed to playing that position. What's next, Podsednik at SS?

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 01:54 PM) Hall was a great add, but we have a great catcher who will go and catch every game if he has to. AJ can't hit lefties in case you haven't noticed.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 01:50 PM) Best bat off the bench and second best outfield arm on the team. He would be better suited to play in LF instead of the zero tool player we have out there and he could also be used as a backup corner infielder instead of throwing a catcher out there.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 01:47 PM) It should have been Podsednik playing first base........ What exactly is Makowiak's role on this team?

So who's the backup catcher now?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 10:17 AM) The problem with this war is it is more of a war of psychology then ever before. And, let's face it, Americans are wusses in the wars of psychology. We don't have the guts to stand up for our values anymore. Please clarify your opinion. Which values are we not standing up for with regards to the war in Iraq?

Congrats! She's adorable.

Grinder ball!

I like Erstad in LF over Pods.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 22, 2007 -> 01:40 PM) Dude you are so going to get struck down with a (carbon nuetral) lightning bolt, it isn't even funny. Tell me about it. Kap will probably wake up one morning to find out they're building a coal-burning manufacturing facility next door.

Will this turn into a 2 person race for the Dems? Maybe Gore will reconsider getting into the mix?
