Balance

WHOOOOOO-HA! That was a fantastic game. I predict that tomorrow's game will be a nail-biter. This was a great start, though.

Let's go White Sox!

My iPod. Seriously; I've pretty much stopped listening to Chicago commercial radio. Too many commercials, not enough good music. Listen for an hour and you'll hear the same song twice.

Damn. Ortiz and Ramirez made their roster.

Sabathia's not a small guy, yet his uniform is about twelve sizes too large. What's up with that?

The smoking ban is long overdue. My fiancee and I just don't go out to bars anymore because there is no way to avoid being overwhelmed by cigarette smoke. It really sucks to have to come home smelling like an ashtray because some people are nicotine addicts. Smokers, as far as I'm concerned, you can smoke all you want. You can give yourself cancer 'til your heart's content. But you have no right to impose your addiction on me. If it were possible to limit the smoke to yourselves alone, there wouldn't be a need to prohibit smoking in public places. However, you are ruining those places for the rest of us. I've traveled to San Fransisco, to New York City, and even to Ireland. All those destinations have smoking bans in place. And believe it or not, all of those destinations have thriving bar scenes. Only there, it's possible to go out to a bar and come back without smelling like smoke.

Congratulations! I remember what that was like. Good luck with your career.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Typhoon "Longwang"???

Go get 'em, Sox! Don't back off!

Sure, now he tells us. :banghead

That woman was clearly mentally ill. It has nothing to do with the public education system, Juggs.

What was Sheehan arrested for?

I was 1-2. I saw the Sox beat the Dodgers on Fathers' Day. I saw the Sox lose on Elvis Night and this past Monday's game against Cleveland.

Here's how we win. Someone has to find out where Santana is staying, and make sure he eats the two-day-old sushi special there. I'm not sure I can watch tonight. I've got a bad feeling about this. Even so,

Here are a few ideas- "Pressure" by Billy Joel "Too Many Ways to Fall" by Arc Angels "Slip Sliding Away" by Simon & Garfunkel Not very optimistic. But win a few against MIN and DET, and we'll all be singing, "I get knocked down But I get up again You're never gonna keep me down" ("Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba) (Or else, we'll be drinking a whiskey drink, a vodka drink, a lager drink, and a cider drink, all at once.)

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 09:03 PM) If you show me more proof maybe. I know he goes overboard and stretches the truth, so I guess I'll say I don't hate it but don't like it. I know how much you Republicans love Al Franken, but if you're looking for countless examples of Bill O'Liely -- excuse me, O'Reilly lying, read Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. Every O'Reilly lie Franken points out is dutifully researched and cited in the book. Quite an entertaining read.

I'm getting married in February....

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) McCarthy didn't help the Sox get to where they are now, so he won't be in the playoffs. Ozzie loves his veterans, and he definitely doesn't seem to be McCarthy's biggest fan. If McCarthy gives up 4 or more runs tonight, he won't start for the Sox again this season. I hope you're wrong, because then Ozzie is no better than Dusty Baker. If McCarthy is coming on strong now, you have to put the hot hand into the rotation, and let El Duque have a seat in the bullpen.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) If we can't get a few solid starts from McCarthy here at the end of all things, then there won't be any concern with pitching either of them. Are things really that dire? Do I need to repent?

As long as it works better than Comcast Sports Net last night, it should be fine....

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) Um excuse me but most of the media is liberal. That is simply not true. That's a misperception that is encouraged by Fox News and others of their ilk. It's a ploy to paint anyone who's to the left of Fox News as a Liberal, and monopolize what passes for political discourse in this country.

It didn't look intentional to me. His momentum was carrying him wide of the bag, and he didn't expect Boone to be prone in front of him. He couldn't have avoided it, and it did look like he tried to step lightly once he realized what was about to happen.

Please, oh please, let this be true!
