QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 03:24 PM) Gallup dropped back down to a normalish margin (4 points) I'll take the seemingly better daily results in key battleground state polls over a single national tracking poll.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 08:40 AM) Thanks to 2 new Quinnipiac polls in Ohio and Florida....

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 01:37 PM) Lets rip off 11 of 12 again! Having a mild case of OCD makes me not want to see a blip like that one loss. A perfect 11-0 would be more like it. Speaking of OCD, I was driving my wife crazy every time I pointed out someone wearing a green Sox cap or any other non-black attire last night. I don't know how she's going to put up with me for the next 50 years.

QUOTE (Soxy @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 11:27 AM) Mmmm, that's sounds delicious. Especially the second one. . . It's actually the same recipe. That 2nd bullet point is the next step to putting the sandwich together.

It's a sandwich I'll make every other week. Mmmm

QUOTE (Soxy @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 11:33 AM) Whole wheat bread, jiffy reduced fat creamy peanut butter. No effing jelly. Or veggie burger, 1 fried egg, cheese. Seeing that you're vegetarian you might appreciate this one: - Tempeh marinated in soy, peanut oil, red pepper flakes and garlic and then baked - tempeh stuffed into warmed pita bread with baked asparagus spears and chopped cilantro (marinated in peanut sauce)

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 11:52 AM) politics seem so trivial compared to sports. Indeed

QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 10:51 AM) i think if we win either of those first two games we have a great shot coming back to our house - but winning the first one would be fantastic. If we win game 1 then we go up 2-0 when we come back to Chicago. Mark Buehrle does not lose post season games.

Any statheads know Javy's splits for road games, day games, dome stadiums? Is this a favorable start based on his history in those situations?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 10:54 AM) 461 reported. 461 for the small part that broke off. The rest of the ball landed in Gary.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 09:18 PM) God, that black out was awesome. kudos Brooks boyer. I loved that the fans all wore black but they should have handed out white towels. You could barely notice the black towels being waved in the stands. It blended in too much. I'd prefer something more obvious to distract the opposing batter's peripheral vision.

Wow!!! Just got home. What an amazing game. Best one I've been to since game 4 in Houston. Danks, AJ, Griff, and Thome coming through!!!

He was looking at the schedule magnet giveaway from April and noticed today's game wasn't listed.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 03:32 PM) I'm in the house tonight. Can't wait. Imagine if the whole crowd wears black- it'll be a f'ing sight. Try going to a Raider game some day. It's pretty cool to see a sea of black.

Section 535. Look for me...I'll be wearing all black.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 01:44 PM) So out of curiousity, where do you stand for the SRO tickets. Outfield concourse?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 12:31 PM) Kiffin ought to find a job surprisingly quickly. Indeed. And it's kind of sad that in order for my Raiders to ever have a chance to reclaim their glory, Al Davis will need to pass away.

QUOTE (Good Guys @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 11:29 AM) Alright I got through morning at work ok. I know the rest of the afternoon will be much more difficult. There is no way I am going to do any more work. This is very exciting. You can feel it in the air. No, that was just me. I farted.

I'm hearing that Al Davis just fired Kiffen. Davis is a douchebag.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 11:25 AM) IF we do that (which might not be a bad idea), can we please, for f***ing once, be smart enough to build in an inflationary increase? So that we don't create yet more work for Congress to f*** up later? That would make too much sense.

QUOTE (Steff @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 10:15 AM) You up or down? sec 535 row 7

I'll be there screaming my ass off tonight.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 10:06 AM) You're a jackass... and I mean that with respect. I about fell out of my chair laughing. I kid because I care.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 10:49 AM) Oh no, I get it. All too well. Keep in mind I do not like Sarah Palin and don't support her as a pick. Why? She seems very nice.
