QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 12:33 PM) They're 0.5 games ahead of both the Angels and Rays. Having the 4th best record in the AL on August 24th is still impressive.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 11:29 AM) Marlins DFA Dewayne Wise. Let's get the band back together! What's Shingo up to these days?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) Read it in Stevie's voice for full effect

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) When I read that I pictured Kenny Powers. Haha! Good call on that one. I re-read it imagining his voice and it was even funnier.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 11:18 AM) I will not pay a dime towards ticket sales until Ozzie's gone. Same here. Preferably Kenny too.

This is the first time since 1984 that I haven't gone to a game in person, not counting a rain out I had a ticket for in April. Nothing that this team has done this year will push me to go buy a ticket before the season is up. Having Thome sitting on the bench or DHing won't change anything either.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 11:06 AM) Wow, Stan. I always like your posts, but this one is so f***ing good. Honestly, one of the best posts I've seen this year and in my whole time here. Agreed

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 09:41 AM) So we let a 21-year old phenom waste away at AAA for months when he could've made a difference in the standings, yet we're trying to acquire a 42-year old DH with a little over a month left in the season and our playoff hopes all but done? What a bunch of sorry ass busters running the show on the south side.

We will go undefeated the rest of the way with Thome.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 08:46 AM) I bought the tickets in April. I've purchased tickets every year since I graduated high school (2001). This is the first such phone call I've ever received. You better act fast before all of the playoff tickets are gone!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) I took an iq test when I was a kid. It was like 134. I have no idea if that's what my iq still is or how accurate it was. Mad Magazine IQ tests don't count.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) Yes Im sorry that I havent given up on the team yet....even though we still are in the hunt. Some of you guys are starting to portray Cub-like delusional optimism. I just don't seen anything about this team that exudes "Championship caliber".

Why would we spend more money when our attendance is pathetic and we have a .500 team with virtually no chance to win it all this year?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) As opposed to playing for the Yankees/Red Sox/Phillies/Brewers/Braves who are locks for the playoffs and actually have a chance to make it to the World Series. Yes, it is a drag in comparison. Who cares if we're a .500 team. It's still early in the season.

Seems like a pretty awesome roommate.

Just my luck. Got my car back after work yesterday from the body shop (hail damage repairs) and the forecast shows that we might get more hail today. WTF

Happy Birthday!!!

I enjoy Bea Arthur.

Watched "Splice" last night, starring Adrien Brody. I liked the idea of the film but pretty poor execution. I think 85% of the budget went to special effects and the remainder went to signing Brody. The script and supporting cast were lousy.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 21, 2011 -> 10:50 AM) Rios is batting 4th today. LOL

QUOTE (Stocking @ Aug 19, 2011 -> 02:47 PM) A decent read up on Exit through the Gift Shop. The article is good but read the comment section, John Shorney nails it. I dont see how anyone can think otherwise. My goodness. Is John Shorney actually Banksy?
