QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) Well I let my mom borrow my radar detector because she was driving to Detroit and I was driving to a lake cottage in Michigan. I was doing 15 over (85 in a 70) and I am on their insurance, but I'm paying it anyways so they aren't affected. If you're on their policy.. it does effect them. Traffic school will keep the conviction off your record and will not alter rates.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) They have to deny it, it would be direspectful to the players to say "Yeah. I agreed to get rid of his ass but then I 2nd guessed it. Meh." They would have had to talk to him about it in the first place. Sounds like the bulls*** hit the fan.. :rolly

Nice catch by Gooch.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) Griffey Wake the f*** up.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) So wtf is going on with the game? Cotts in to face Adams. He got the previous 2 batters out but I don't know how cause I left my office a minute. Cotts gave up a double to Adams.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) To be honest w/ you i hope he is hurt so we have to get Griffey. I like Carl, but we need a #3 hitter. Oye ve..

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) We need a two out hit from Pauly to break this back open. Yea.. c'mon Mr Clutch.. :rolly

Anyone hear the attendance...? :-)

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:45 PM) Yeah it looks really humid at the park. Gameday says the gametime temp was 85 degrees though, so it can't be that bad. Depends on the heat index I would imagine. I know it was cooler than than last night but felt like 100 with the humidity.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) I haven't seen a great upper deck shot, but it is over 30,000 probably close to 34,000 from what I can see. They're not really into it though, and this game is incredibly slow. The crowd sounds lethargic.. last night it was so hot & stuffy.

Can't we all just get along..

It's got to be absolutely brutal out there heat wise.

Walked Aaron...

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:20 PM) Were all 3 runs earned? None of them should have been earned.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) I actually had an idea if there were going to be a bunch of people for a tailgate. We could get there early and see if we can get a softball game together at Armour park. It could be something fun to do annually as a Soxtalk gathering. Thoughts? The game is at 12:15.. there is a breakfast tailgate starting at 10 in lot E

http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/08/03/girl.charged.ap/index.html Girl tried for felony over thrown rock Eleven-year-old faces charge of assault with deadly weapon Wednesday, August 3, 2005; Posted: 11:27 a.m. EDT (15:27 GMT) FRESNO, California (AP) -- Advocates for an 11-year-old girl who was arrested on a deadly weapon charge for throwing a 2-pound rock during a water balloon fight say the charge in no way fits the crime. But Fresno's mayor and police chief say Maribel Cuevas's case was handled appropriately, and that assault with a deadly weapon is the proper charge for an act that might have had fatal consequences. The case was to go to trial Wednesday in the Juvenile Delinquency Division of Fresno Superior Court. In an unusual move for a case involving a minor, the trial will be open to the public. Maribel was arrested in April for throwing the rock at a neighborhood boy who had pelted her with a water balloon. The rock gashed the boy's forehead, and the girl spent five days in Fresno's juvenile hall and a month under house arrest after police said she resisted arrest and scratched an officer's arm. Lisa Bennett, a legal assistant for defense attorney Richard Beshwate Jr., said efforts to avert a trial were fruitless. "Even though there may or may not be good offers, having her plead guilty to a crime is not acceptable," Bennett said Tuesday. Alvin Harrell, the Fresno County assistant district attorney who supervises juvenile cases, said court rules prohibited him from commenting. In a statement issued shortly after The Associated Press published a story about the case, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer defended his department's actions. "The simple fact is that we have an 11-year-old girl who struck a boy in the head with a jagged-edged, two-pound river rock, that required him to have stitches," Dyer said. "That is a felony, assault with a deadly weapon, and we are very fortunate that that act did not cause a more serious injury, even death." Elijah Vang, the boy who was injured by Maribel and who has acknowledged throwing a water balloon at her, was expected to testify at the trial.

(AP) - Police charged a 19-year-old woman with selling sexual favors to two elderly men for $4 and $6 each. Stacy L. Kendall, 71-year-old William R. Claypool and 83-year-old Carmen A. Nocera were arrested just outside New Castle on Friday. Claypool paid Kendall $4 for a sexual favor and Nocera paid $6, police said. Shenango Township police Chief Allan Nocera said the arrests occurred during a police sweep of an area where residents recently had complained of drugs, sex trafficking and gunfire. Police on Monday filed misdemeanor charges of prostitution and solicitation against all three defendants. Kendall and Claypool didn't answer repeated calls to their homes. Carmen Nocera didn't immediately return a message left at his home. ---
