QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 3, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) AOL is what they use for the WGN games. Really..? I thought they always used Comcast. Even last year.. Pfftt.. what do I know. I tune them out usually..

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ May 2, 2005 -> 03:38 AM) he did just get married so he may not want to be on the road all of the time. How many dates is he doing for espn? They just had a baby... They've been married for several (5 or 6 IIRC) years.

Not AOL.. I believe it's Comcast.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 3, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) Yep, we will definately close a place out, on any night. Also, that same train covers Evanston, Wilmette, Highland Park and a big part of the suburban northshore. It also takes you to Ravinia and ends up in Kenosha, Wisconsin. What info. did you need, maybe I can look it up. Oh.. I don't need any. I was just curious if the LaSalle station had trains running past 10 ish back to the south and western burbs. If they don't it would be useless to have a shuttle back to there for those who don't want to be on a time restraint.. and would also cause a problem if the game was delayed for any reason. Thanks!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 3, 2005 -> 02:40 PM) It's the Ravenswood station on the Union Pacific North Line Metra, 1 block from my house. I catch it to and from work dowtown every day. I might be mistaken about it being 24 hours, but I know it runs as late as 2:00 am and starts again at like 5:30 am. Check with www.metrarail.com, it has all the schedules. I can't get on there for some reason - work has some stupid filters.. - which is why I asked. They probably do need something that runs late for all those late night drinkers in that are.. LOL

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 3, 2005 -> 02:32 PM) I think it depends on the route. I have one that is a block from my house and it's 24 hours, BUT after like midnight, you get one every hour and a half or so. As a side note, the Scrubs have a new shuttle that will stop at this station, 1 block from my house. :puke Is that Metra or an El....?? Back when I worked downtown they didn't have a 24 hour one... IIRC it stopped at 10:20 back to the Blue Island station. This was back in '98 though.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ May 3, 2005 -> 02:28 PM) i do find it funny that JR gets credit when teams are going well and blame when things are going bad, YET-people on the other side of each debate always cite that he has less control than people think. It's kind of funny. He get's all the publicity because that's the way the investors want it. They don't want their names out there.. many of them go to great lengths to keep their holdings private. Smart, IMO. Then they don't get hassled when the Sox do crappy.

LMB.. or anyone else that would know.. what time does the Metra stop running back to the burbs normally..? I know during holiday's and the Taste they run longer.. but what's the normal stop time. TIA.

Yea.. ok. We took it every game last year and there's nothing express about it. Finally started parking over by Union Station.. that bus got us back to our car faster. Regarding the Sox shuttle.. nice idea.. just not realistic.

Very cool... By PAUL GARWOOD, Associated Press Writer Tue May 3,11:53 AM ET SAQQARA, Egypt - A superbly preserved 2,300-year-old mummy bearing a golden mask and covered in brightly colored images of gods and goddesses was unveiled Tuesday at Egypt's Saqqara Pyramids complex south of Cairo. ADVERTISEMENT The unidentified mummy, from the 30th pharaonic dynasty, had been closed in a wooden sarcophagus and buried in sand at the bottom of a 20-foot shaft before being discovered recently by an Egyptian-led archaeological team. "We have revealed what may be the most beautiful mummy ever found in Egypt," Zahi Hawass, chief of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, said as he helped excavators remove the sarcophagus' lid to show off the find. Hawass said experts will use CT scanning technology within the next week to reveal more details about the ancient Egyptian's identity and how he had lived and died. Afterward, the mummy will be displayed at Saqqara's museum of Imhotep, the famed architect who designed the Stepped Pyramid — Egypt's oldest. The mummy, found two months ago, was covered from head to toe in brightly colored cartonage burial material depicting a range of graphic scenes, including the Goddess Maat of balance and truth who was shown with outstretched arms that took the shape of feathered wings. Also shown were the four children of the falcon-headed god, Horus, and the rituals and processes to mummify the person, who Hawass believed must have been wealthy considering his burial location and fine gold used for the mummy's mask. "The artists who made this mummy more than 2,000 years ago demonstrated the brilliance of the ancient Egyptians by using stunning colors and depicting his face so graphically," Hawass said. The mummy had been buried within the necropolis of King Teti, a funerary area containing scores of burial chambers, false doors that ancient Egyptians said the souls of the dead would use to leave their tombs, and temples. The necropolis is built alongside the collapsed pyramid of Teti, who ruled during ancient Egypt's 6th dynasty, more than 4,300 years ago. Hawass said a "lost" pyramid had been located in the Saqqara area and would be uncovered after two months. Saqqara, located about 12 miles south of Cairo, is one of Egypt's most popular tourist sites and hosts a collection of temples, tombs and funerary complexes.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 3, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Not quite the same thing, the Bears play downtown and on Sundays and the Bull's shuttle doesn't sound as convenient as your proposed Sox shuttle. As a Bears season ticket holder.. I can tell you that the Bears shuttle stinks!! It's easier and faster to just walk under McCormick place back to your car. As for using public trans for Bulls games.. umm.. no thank you. Not to generalize.. but IMO it aint safe over there at all. I would rather walk alone in the dead of night around Comiskey than over by the UC. I agree with you that providing public trans on a weekday in rush hour is not realistic at all.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 3, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) they have something like that in columbus Ohio, at a place called thermans I believe. 12 slices of cheese. This one has 25!!! Good Lord.. can you imagine...?? That is an entire pack of cheese!!!! Ick..

QUOTE(southsideirish @ May 3, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) I see how you can get that from his comment but I am reading it differently. I read it as stating that Ozzie is trying to portray him as Albert Belle has been portrayed, as a malcontent. I agree with Steff that Albert Bell is being portrayed as something he wasn't. He supposedly did some silly things, such as supposedly chasing down kids and corked his bat, but he never tried to bash the White Sox organization. He never bashed anyone or any organization that I am aware of at all. I know it has been reported that he was a clubhouse cancer, but how the hell does anyone know this? I have heard former teammates say great things about him and never once anything bad. To me Albert Belle should not be compared to Maggs in any way. Maggs has proven to everyone that he is an ass. Albert, who resides in Arizona near Paul, is still good friends with him and they play golf often in the offseason. Him and Frank still talk all the time also as Vegas is Albert's home away from home. If any of you get a chance to chat with Ozzie.. ask him about Albert. Some of the funniest stories and the greatest admiration from Oz towards Albert. You don't make those kinds of friends by being a "cancer". Yea.. he corked his bat.. so did Sosa. And yea.. he chased kids after they egged his house, something I would do, but the media would bat an eye at... so what..? I don't see the comparison to Maggs running his mouth saying nasty things about the Sox brass. JMO.. but it is biased.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 3, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) The fact that I called myself a dick was to provde a point. It was an analogy to prove a point that words on a internet board have no bearing or effect on anyone. OK I was referring to you talking s*** about Jay's daughter, but whatever.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 3, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) You must love Ozzie's naughty language if you are having such an issue over this. I'm not having an issue. I don't care what you do or say... just commented on the full circle of your stance on s***ting on others when they don't have anything to do with the person who deserves the s***ting on. I love Ozzie's language.. I just perfer to have a bit more class that to call someone a dick, or any name for that matter, for no reason.. probably should rethink that "no reason" thing right about now..

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 3, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) Never said I was classy. I gather that by calling yourself a "d"... I perferred to sub "class" for "d" as I think using "d" is ignorant.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 3, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) Steff, I worked it out at a very early age that others opinions dont matter and no matter what they say it doesnt effect me or my life in one way. I could care less if people made whatever comments about me or my family. My opinions and comments are mine. If someone doesnt like them I suggest just saying he is being a dick and move on. If a member of the kotex boy family was to take this personally I would suggest that they get a grip. Its the internet after all. If this is the worst thing that they encounter on their travels I consider themselves lucky. Duly noted. As you've admitted, class escapes you. Good day..

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 2, 2005 -> 11:29 PM) Thats ok. Never said I wasnt a dick. So by taking that route we can talk s*** about your daughter/wife/mother.....

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ May 3, 2005 -> 10:27 AM) Obviously we all know that the network does what it does to get ratings and therefore $$$, but you can tell that although these people are paid, deep down they have a passion for what they do and I love that. If I ever have a skill worth using on that show I would join them in a heart beat. Unfortunately, Extreme Makeover isn’t in need of a Radio Broadcaster with minimal carpentry and design ability. lol Last night was the first time I had watched the "How'd they do that" show detailing the previous nights makeover. I was definitely chocked up when they were showing Ty and his secret room. He's a special man with a huge heart..

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 3, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) Brrrr, its going to be a cold one for a little guy. She'll be fine.. she's got her new Sox jacket (and her sweatshurt signed by "the big black man" from Soxfest ) to keep her warm..
