QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) I don't think McCuddy's closed the same time old Comiskey did, that would've been September 1990. As I recall it closed in 1988 or at the latest 1989 because they were building the new park. I do remember the cracked black and white tile floors. IIRC it was Sept 89.

QUOTE(SoIL @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 09:09 AM) If I remember my history correctly, McCuddy's opened the same day as old Comisky did and was only open for home ball games. Unfortunately it closed for the last time the same day old Comisky did also. That's not possible.. it was demolished before New Comiskey construction started..

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 09:15 AM) I guess he wasn't sick all day yesterday and all night last night. So the vet says that is real positive sign, like he could maybe come home even tomorrow. Yeaaaa!!! Parvo treatments are soooo much better than they used to be. Just a few years ago it would take a good 3 or 4 days to show signs of improvement. Congrats kap!!

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 09:17 AM) the quick news blurb from this morning... Blurb is right.. they don't even give his race. If we owned a black Honda 4 door Jim wouldn't be driving in your town today.

QUOTE(Sox1422 @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 08:25 AM) I'll be at both. Fri section 117 I think. Sat. section 125 Row 1. Staying at the Hyatt Regency I've heard that Hyatt is terrible. Taht the noise from the street is very loud..

Yikes.. Glad your ok PA. I worked at a bank when I was in highschool. It was robbed one day.. I was in the ATM machine balancing it so I had no idea what happened. When I came out there were cops everywhere.. I nearly peed my pants.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 07:33 AM) Steff, I think he’d be ‘victim’ type witness, the congressmen always trot out a couple of these when they stage a sensational hearing. But I doubt Frank’s the sort to be sobbing for the cameras like Sally Struthers, crying over his lost MVP. No good can come from this; steroid testing is a reality, the battle is already over. Frank Thomas shouldn’t go unless he is subpoenaed. He has nothing to do with it, let Waxman get on TV by leeching off of someone else’s fame. I don't. I agree, he's not, and wouldn't. I disagree.. Frank should do anything he can to bring attention to the issue and show others, specifically kids comming up in college, how to do things the right way. Positive PR never hurts, and Arn will make sure Frank comes out smelling like a rose. He plays major league baseball. Major league baseball players are under investigation. Strong association there..

No love for LL... LL Cool J's "I need love" is a lyrical masterpiece...

Frank's being called as nothing more than someone that can give, or shoot down, credibility to Jose's stories. Jose and Frank were more than just casual friends at one point. I'm sure they just want to ask him about that time.

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 06:15 PM) Me and quick are going up for the Friday game, don't know where we're sitting. Staying over to enjoy a little downtown Milwaukee nitelife. We're staying also. The Pfister or the Hilton. You guys going gambling?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) the sox gave us free tickets for having seasons!!!!! Im sitting in the club section, sounds good to me!!!!! Yea.. we got those also but gave them to friends. That was nice of them, and you'll like the club level there.

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) wow ive driven this route a lot, this looks like a disaster i hope all ends up ok I drive that way everyday getting off at 126 - which is about a mile before 30. The pictures are horrific.. there are surely deaths.

QP.. 294 is a mess a mile or so before the 55 exit. Plan on it being a long ride tonight. I'm gonna take 88 to 355.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) And that's only because it takes Jim until the middle of the first to get there LMAO.. I'm showing him this!!!

I found some.. one of the trucks was a small Enterprise moving truck.. personal belongings all over the road.

Anyone foudn any pictures yet... my dad is not answering his cell phone..

QUOTE(smalls2598 @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) if you get a suite, does Bernie stop by to say 'hi'? that would rock. He never has before... by the 3rd inning we usually don't know if he does or doesn't anyway..

Suite Friday, Saturday IIRC 120 or 121 row 3 or 4...

http://abclocal.go.com/wls/news/030305_ns_i55_closed.html March 3, 2005 (PLAINFIELD, Ill.) — Three helicopters and at least seven ambulances responded to a multivehicle accident involving several semitrailers along a stretch of Interstate 55. All lanes on Interstate 55 between Route 30 and Route 52 are closed. The interstate is expected to be closed for several hours -- possibly into the afternoon commute. Travel Times ABC7 Images The emergency crews from several neighboring communities were dispatched after the accident was reported at about 12:30 p.m. near Plainfield, which is roughly 30 miles southwest of Chicago. The Joliet Fire Department sent two ambulances to the crash site. One of those ambulances transported two victims to Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet. Debris from the accident was spread across all lanes of the interstate and a nearby frontage road, authorities said. (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 01:11 PM) It comes down to a cost thing. Even if he was innocent it could be worth $5 million to put this behind him. He might not have wanted every detail of his sex life and history paraded out for the American public to hear. And if he has other deep dark secrets, you know that stuff is going to get drug out. Plus from a purely financial standpoint, that $6 mil might have been a bargain as to what he would have had to pay his lawyers for their work on a 6 month trial and everything that goes with that. No amount of $$ is too much to prove innocence, IMO. Especially in the case of sexual assult. He'll forever be whispered about. The guy has more than enough $$ to take it to the limit.. he's got some skeletons.. and, IMO... they have a lot to do with his inability to be told "no" in the bedroom.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) I can see Frank staying for extended Sprint training. Being back by mid-May earliest LMAO... that's funny. He'll be in Chicago with the team on 4/4.. and I say playing by the time Baltimore rolls into town.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) Who's "we" Steff?? Bekins. We got the ad rights on them.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) 5 mil too many if you ask me. If he had nothing to hide he should have proceeded...

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 11:09 AM) Drop dead JR :fyou . Nice of you to pass the buck on the Fisk issue. Any and all player decisions..... and the way they are treated when said decisions are made..... begin and end with you. No buck passed. It didn't begin with him, but he could have changed the ending - exactly as he stated it. You think Carlton dislikes Jerry.. you should hear the things he says about Shu.... oye ve.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) That's all good advice. I think I'm going to try the treatment, assuming it's not more then $500 or so. I'm worried about the carpet, etc. I have no idea what to do about that. Have it cleaned or clean it yourself. I think those steam cleaners are pretty reasonable to rent, but even if you hire someone I don't think it would be that much. We had our entire house (about 2800 sf of carpet) cleaned for just over $300.
