2008 General Election Discussion Thread
Anyone seen Hillary's new political tv ad? it' s pretty good on a side note: what happens if J.Carter and the mighty Goracle come out and endorse Obama (as to end the race) but it doesn't work and Hillary keeps winning states?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 09:58 PM) Go get this pitcher I have never heard of. 3 in a row!!! I feel it. Unknown pitchers usually do pretty good against the Sox for some reason But screw that, the Sox are reversing the trend

Comcast Is Up To No Good
QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 07:12 PM) Being fully wireless is like having perfect communism, impossible to achieve. You have to have some wires somewhere attached to routers and transmitters in order to allow personal wireless service. Cable companies will have to eventually come up with a better way to send information into people's homes that doesn't require coaxial cables. Perhaps fiber optics are the future. Perhaps they'll use super-enforced CAT 5 cables. WiFiber is something i've heard a lot about. http://www.computerworld.com/action/articl...ticleId=9000644

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!
QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) Good pitching wins playoff series. Without good pitching, there is rarely an opportunity for any player to be clutch. I don't see anyone trading a quality starting pitcher for Joe, even though he is tearing it up. It's tough to even say what pitcher would need to be replace, but I would expect that pitcher to be Contreras. Crede's highest value is him playing 3rd base for the White Sox from what I've seen thus far. I wouldn't expect to gain anything greater than his contribution with a trade.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 02:57 PM) Even if we keep Crede, the only thing that means is Fields is moving to 1st base and Thome/Konerko are on the block. If they deal Thome, Konerko is still a better defensive first baseman than fields. but that could change as konerko gets a bit older
