hell yea, sweeny. great swing on that i like ozzie as a manager, but he needs to keep this kid on the roster

the slow loopy swing epidemic... i hate it

QUOTE(shipps @ May 12, 2007 -> 07:16 PM) Iam just banking on KC consistently finding a way to lose. haha, me too

QUOTE(fathom @ May 12, 2007 -> 07:12 PM) Detroit's the best team in the division by far. they're real good.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 12, 2007 -> 07:08 PM) Records versus AL Central DET 5-4 (7-2 versus KC) CLE 6-2 (hasn't played KC yet) CHW 7-8 (3-0 versus KC) MINN 4-8 (2-3 versus KC) Based on that alone, you'd have to say CLE is the best team in the division, at least through the first 20-25% of the season. Minnesota looks to be in big trouble. going into the season i really thought CLE would be the best team in the division. Detroit has impressed, Maggliio seems to be back in form, which is huge for them. Sheffield is starting to hit too... aaaand, we have just lost the lead. 4-2 KC

QUOTE(fathom @ May 12, 2007 -> 07:07 PM) I really think Ozzie should try more hit-and-runs with our hitters in order to get them focused on making contact and focusing at the plate. sounds good to me

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 12, 2007 -> 07:02 PM) sweeney has had a high contact low power swing his entire minor league career. he is the exact opposite of what we usually bring up. if his swing gets magically longer, and they start to talk up his new found power then you know what happened. if Walker is teaching that as a technique, than that is messed up.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 12, 2007 -> 07:02 PM) Except Sweeney who was never like this i never saw his swing in AAA or anything like that. so all i can go by is past prospects and their swings and sweeny's. When crede first came up, looppy swing; anderson, looopy swing; borchard, delux slow loopy swing; ect. i'm not saying Walker is a good hitting coach or anything, just bringing up an observation.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 12, 2007 -> 06:59 PM) If walker is trying to f*** his swing up, while other guys on this team cannot hit and our batting average is last in the american league, he is begging for a pink slip. i can't blame walker for the loopy, slow swing. it seems to show up in all of our prospects before Walker gets a hold of em.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 12, 2007 -> 06:57 PM) Buehrle having a rough day? he's been getting him self in jams, but getting out of em. the typical 'good pitcher winning with bad stuff'. hopefully it holds until around the 7th

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 12, 2007 -> 06:53 PM) Hawk was talking about how in batting practice he saw some power by Sweeney and how he can hit 20-25 homers. Let the kid first learn how to hit at the majors consistantly before we start to jack his swing. totally i would rather seem him work on a more compact swing, high contact. it seems like every single hitter that comes up in our system starts out with that same, long, slow, loopy swing. it really sucks.

hell yea! nice play by dye

QUOTE(fathom @ May 12, 2007 -> 06:50 PM) Buehrle's control is way off right now. he doesn't seem to have his good stuff today.

yea, that was very lame by grindy

time for a 3 run shot haha, kc... always good for some run scoring errors

BOOOOM!!!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 11, 2007 -> 10:41 PM) John McCain takes a moment to call that lady. what a nice guy

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 11, 2007 -> 09:25 PM) And soon, it will not be legal to smoke a cigar in these places, so my analogy holds. actually, you will still be able to smoke at 'cigar' bars and 'tobacco' bars, you can't ban all a certain race from any establishment. so the analogy doesn't exactly hold, but i understand your point. QUOTE(vandy125 @ May 12, 2007 -> 03:55 PM) Pub Definition ok, they are owned by the public because of that definition. happy?

lets see Erstad grind out a sac fly

Sean Tracey

i have a feeling this game is gonna be a blowout sox win

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 10, 2007 -> 06:30 PM) Hm. Not a good way to befriend the voters of Jones County, Iowa. I'm guessing that most people there are not millionaires. That article was so lame. A weak attempt at a "hit job" on a presidential candidate, it won't effect the campaign at all. Giuliani wants to repeal the death tax for everyone, so he is right on the issue. thats what matters, not what some Democrat writing for a newspaper decides is a "big controversy" QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 11, 2007 -> 04:07 PM) Rudy G had a chance to make some friends in Iowa if he was against a federal "death" tax, and apparently blew that chance. He is against the federal death tax.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 11, 2007 -> 06:10 AM) Can they discriminate on the basis of race? Can they have too few exits? Can they have too few bathrooms? Do they need to meet ADA guidelines? Are the buildings inspected for health and safety compliance? Can they serve someone who is obviously intoxicated? Can they paint swastikas on the walls and tell minorities to leave? Can you tell blacks to use that bathroom and whites that bathroom? Can they pay their employees less than minimum wage and tell them they have a choice to work there or not? your analogies are so over the top it's hard for me to take them seriously. do really think an illegal activity such as refusing service to minorities is the same as as legal one such as smoking a cigar? QUOTE(Balance @ May 11, 2007 -> 01:57 PM) (Emperor Palpatine Voice:) "It is you who are mistaken.... about a great many things." i'm not the guy that thought a bar was public property.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 10, 2007 -> 12:23 PM) I once had someone tell me that the Democratic party is more corrupt the lower you go, and the Republican party is more corrupt the higher you go. yea, riiiiiiight

QUOTE(Balance @ May 10, 2007 -> 10:23 AM) A pub is not a public place? As in "Public House"? That is open to the public? Where the general public (over the age of 21) can come in as they please? no, it is not. the vast majority of them private property. the owner/employees can choose whom they will allow to enter or serve. the public may not come in as they please. you can be banned from a bar, you can be asked to leave a pub for being annoying, you can be turned away from a club for dressing poorly, ect. i think you are confused about the idea of private ownership and what public property is.
