QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 04:44 PM) You need to bring back your Deal Hotts sig or whatever. All the rest of us have gone vintage. Who are you talking to?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 03:06 PM) Last year in April, Cotts had a 3.86 ERA, and a 3.00 ERA in May. This year, Cotts was at 3.27 in April and 2.53 in May. Clearly he's been terrible. How's it go... Owned.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 05:08 PM) I always work out at night, I've tried before to get up early before my day starts and do it but that didn't work out so well. That lasted about two days. If there is a good movie on I can do it. The news at 4am is the world news and those anchors suck. They should replay Sox games then.

Love the oriental hot dog gal.. her lips move but not a sound comes out of her. Pip sells by us occasionally. We have Steady Kenny mostly. Every odd top of the inning without fail he is pouring us cold ones.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) Steff, Its been said that doing cardio after sleep on the most empty a stomach can be is the best for burning calories and fat. Being that I am not a morning person, I do it right after work before dinner when my stomach is relatively empty. Here's my program... a morning snack. Usually never a "breakfast". Then I snack on sunflower seeds most of the day - drinking a ton of water - and eating a big, late lunch (usually 2ish). Then I rarely ever eat dinner, working out when I get home on mostly an empty belly. I've been told a million times I should eat 4 small meals a day, but I just don't have the time. Maybe I'll try to get back into the 4am running schedule. if it will get me better results I'm all for it.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 04:33 PM) Just remember that cardio is almost always more effective in the morning. I like to do cardio+some circuit or ab and core training on tues, thurs. Seriously...? I used to get up at 4 and run, but now usually do it at night. Why is it more effective in the morning? QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 04:41 PM) I drink alot of water, I just can't take as much as I used to. I used to drink 120+ ounces of water a day, but making 10 trips a day to the bathroom lost it's luster. Wow.. I down 120 just at work. I can easily drink 8 20 oz bottles from the time I get here to the time I get home. Then at least a sport bottle while running, then I take a glass to bed with me. Amazingly, I rarely get up in the middle of the night.

http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/06/06/D8I2RTD00.html PHOENIX Billy Preston, the exuberant keyboardist who landed dream gigs with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and enjoyed his own series of hit singles, including "Outta Space" and "Nothing From Nothing," died Tuesday at 59. Preston's longtime manager, Joyce Moore, said Preston had been in a coma since November in a care facility and was taken to a hospital in Scottsdale Saturday after his condition deteriorated. "He had a very, very beautiful last few hours and a really beautiful passing," Moore said by telephone from Germany. "He went home good." Preston, who had battled chronic kidney failure, had undergone a kidney transplant in 2002, but the kidney failed and he has been on dialysis treatments ever since, Moore said earlier this year. Known for his big smile and towering afro, Preston was a teen prodigy on the piano and organ, and lent his gospel-tinged touch to classics such as the Beatles' "Get Back" and the Stones' "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?" He broke out as a solo artist in the 1970s, winning a best instrumental Grammy in 1973 for "Outta Space," and scoring other hits with "Will It Go 'Round In Circles," "Nothing From Nothing" and "With You I'm Born Again," a duet with Syreeta Wright.

I did the same as you LMB... which is why I can't understand why my % was so low...

Yes. Rock, quick, get over to the cell. They should get on your workout program immediately.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 09:13 AM) ^^^ And there's the problem. I did no cardio for a good 5 years and still had a 22" waist - yea.. it was back in the stone age when I was 25 . It wasn't till I hit 30 when I noticed the layer of blubber. I'm still just a 24" size 2, but I did have to alter the way I eat and increase the calorie burn. Like I said above, my sister is blessed - though she is only 27.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 09:09 AM) It would be interesting to see the thread when the Sox first showed a little interest in AJ. IIRC, many on the board weren't very kind in their assessment of him. While their actions may be and are different, the similarity between AJ and CZ is fans of the team he is playing for have a totally different view of his "antics", real or perceived, than do others. I remember it well. Love to hate was the general theme, IIRC. The main difference between them is that Z has no respect for anyone but himself. That's a pretty big difference when your job is playing a team sport.

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 09:00 AM) Without good genetics, getting decent abs is pretty tough. I'm 5'11'' 190lbs. and my waist is a 32, but I work at it almost obsessively. It doesn't come naturally. I follow a low fat, high protein, moderate carb diet, with almost no processed sugar. I eat 6 small to mid-sized meals a day. As far as my ab workout is concerned, I go to the gym (5 minutes from my house) every morning before work simply to do abs. It takes me 15 mintues and I do 6 exercises, 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps each exercise. I do 4 lower ab exercises (hanging leg raises, knee raises), 1 oblique exercise (torso twist machine), and 1 upper abs exercise (crunches). I'll then go back to the gym when I'm done working and coaching in order to do my actual weight-lifting routine, which usually takes about 45 minutes. I do absolutely no cardio, but I'm very disciplined in what I eat (I'll pick at bad foods, but I won't eat a lot of it) and I only drink 1 night a week. Anyway, this is what I do and it works for me. I agree it's genetics somewhat. My mom and aunt are both overweight (combo of having kids, eating bad, and having a heart issues), yet my grandmother is a rail (had 4 kids, eats whatever she wants, and has health issues also). I am obsessed with my abs and legs. I do tons of crunches - sometimes stop and do 50 when I take something down to the basement - but on a regular schedule I do 100 at least 4 times a week, and I run at least 3 miles 4 times a week at night. I also limit my weight lifting focusing on arms and back 3 times a week - 4 different excercises - no more than 15lbs and 3 reps. My b**** sister does absolutely NOTHING to keep in shape and has literally sero fat on her. She does chase after a 5 year old and a 5 month old though.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:30 AM) Zambrano would be the best pitcher on the White Sox, IMO. I would take him in a heartbeat. The Cubs are dumb, but not dumb enough to ever let him go. He's probably nuts and a guy you hate as an opponent. Sort of like AJ. Very few similarities, other than the obvious (i.e. they both breathe oxygen). An insult to AJ.

There is a (slight) difference between being ignorant and being racist. Not a big one... but refusing to play with someone because they are black versus refusing to play with them cause they may be looking at yer package are separated though with a fine line.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 08:20 AM) Just when you think you've read it all. Zambrano is not a head case, that's just making excuses for him. He's a childish, sore losing, unprofessional piece of garbage who deserves to spend the rest of his career right where he is, on a lousy ball club. ^^. Though I do think he definitely has ADHD, and would not be surprised to hear of a Bi-Polar script being called in.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 07:33 AM) Yea, Nuke did only quote one source, but, there are a lot of people who are in the "welfare role" here - looking to the government to take care of them instead of taking care of themselves. It's on the news here almost nightly. We have some up here as well. And they are black... and white.

Family obligation yesterday... graduation party I think.
