You're not that young....

Good luck, stay safe I'm on my way as well, but there are never fights where we sit in 127.

No he wouldn't. I've been there many times with friends wearing Sox stuff and never had an issue. It's how you act that gets your ass kicked, not what you wear.

I believe you are incorrect.. and that he does not work for them but knows someone who works for them. As for what's he reported.. you can do a search on WSI and see what he's said and when. Then compare it to the comments Bruce Levine has made and the coinciding dates.. food for thought.

There was a hot & heavy "rumor" in ST that he was going to, or did, have some tests to see if there was any cartilage wear down (loose floating around) from his earlier TJ surgery...

Anyone hear about them re-releasing the DVD with a bunch of extra footage and features? I can't find any information about it and I could have swore I saw something about it during the game Friday night..??

IMO... they don't. Here's my take on this news... Someone had an idea, told someone else, told someone else, and they told someone else. Along the way one of those people said.. "hey, that would be cool, what if.." or "how about if...", and the rumor was born. No one in Milwaukee has even heard anything about the Sox even asking about Ben.

I told him not to bring it.... Regardless of Sox fans agreeing with it, it's not going to be well received by a guy wearing a Cubs jersey..

IMO... yank, yank.... But I wouldn't blame him. He's just passing along information.

Bla.. Cub fan downstairs just walked up here to show me the foam "finger" he made for Koch... Guarantee there will be fights near the Sox pen.. and I wouldn't be surprised to see Koch involved once he gets a look at it. :headshake

I would guess Buffalo has got to be up near the top of that list.

Eh.. he did put it in green..

Uh hu.. thanks.

Sewage Backup Causes DA Office Evacuation Tue Jun 8, 9:45 AM ET Add Strange News - NEW ORLEANS - Sewage from backed-up bathroom pipes burst through the ceiling of the New Orleans district attorney's office and ran down the walls, forcing the evacuation of the office. "I've been complaining about the condition of this building for some time," District Attorney Eddie Jordan said Monday. "Perhaps some people think I've been crying wolf." The city's health department ordered the building closed and evacuated because it was "unsafe for human habitation," Mayor Ray Nagin's office said. The building has had the sewage problem for two months, the statement said. When the leak began Monday, workers in the building took important documents for upcoming trials and went to a nearby middle school, where they will work until the problem can be fixed. No health problems or injuries were reported. Jordan asked criminal court judges to postpone any "nonessential" cases, but said hearings or trials involving violent crimes would continue. He did not have an estimate of how long it would take to fix the problem. Both Jordan and his predecessor, Harry Connick Sr., have long complained that the cash-strapped city has poorly maintained the building.

Water everywhere.....

Man Charged With Chalupa Assault 3 minutes ago Add Strange News DES MOINES, Iowa - A man who claimed he didn't get the taco he paid for has been charged with assault for allegedly pelting a Taco Bell clerk in the face with a chalupa. Nancy Harrison told police she was working the drive-through Thursday night when Christopher Lame, 24, ordered some food. He later came into the store, complaining he didn't get the taco he had ordered, police records say. Harrison said that when she asked for a receipt, he went back to his car and brought back the bag. Harrison said she told him the store was closing, and as she turned away, a chalupa hit her in the face near her right eye. She said she ran into the parking lot and took down the license number as the motorist was driving away. Lame was identified through the license number. He is scheduled to appear in court June 15.

The second trip up there he remembered us - that we were annoyed by him but gave him a nice tip, without buying a hot dog - and he didn't stay near us long or come back the other 2 games we went to there. Like I said.. nice guy.. but annoying.

Anyone see this this morning... pretty cool. Venus Transit of Sun Delights World Stargazers Tue Jun 8,10:53 AM ET Add Science - Reuters to My Yahoo! By Patricia Reaney LONDON (Reuters) - Venus dazzled astronomers and stargazers around the globe Tuesday as it made it first transit across the Sun in more than 100 years. Until 1:19 a.m. EDT, no living person had viewed the rare phenomenon first seen by British astronomer Jeremiah Horrocks in 1639. From Sydney to the pyramids and western Europe, people armed for the occasion with pinhole cameras and special dark glasses gathered for the celestial show. Venus appeared as a small black dot on the lower edge of the Sun at the start of a transit that ended about six hours later. "We are watching the first transit of Venus since 1882," said Dr Robert Massey of Britain's Royal Observatory in Greenwich as more than 100 people thronged the courtyard of the London landmark to witness the phenomenon. Banks of photographers with telephoto lenses and television crews captured the event. People queued patiently as parents lifted small children to gaze into telescopes set up in the courtyard of the observatory on a clear, warm morning. Others used special glasses handed out by staff to see the event. At Cairo's ancient pyramids, a school group viewed the rare phenomenon at the burial tombs of the civilization that many experts believe charted the stars thousands of years ago. "The pyramids are the perfect place to watch something so rare as Venus in front of the Sun," said 15-year-old Wissam Adel Kamal, one of the about 60 students who came equipped with specially filtered glasses. RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PLACE Scandinavian airline SAS offered dark glasses to about 3,500 travelers on Nordic flights to witness the transit above the clouds which covered sections of northern Europe. On the other side of the globe in Australia it was already afternoon when 40 amateur astronomers gathered at the home of Jos Roberts north of Sydney. "I feel very privileged to be alive at the right time, to be in the right place, to have no clouds or monsoons," said Roberts who toasted the event with champagne with his colleagues. In Lebanon, schoolchildren gathered on the hills outside Beirut to watch the passage through dark glasses. For the Americas, however, the complete transit was only partially visible. The Venusian transit only occurs four times every 243 years. Two are in December, eight years apart, and then 121.5 years later there are two June transits, also eight years apart. After another 105.5 years the cycle begins again. The next passage will occur in 2012 but will not be visible in many parts of the world. In the past, scientists calculated the distance of the Earth from the Sun, the astronomical unit (AU), from measurements of the duration of the transit of Venus made from widely separated latitudes. England's Captain James Cook traveled to Tahiti on a special expedition to make observations during the 1769 transit. This time, too, observers around the world will be timing the transit and repeating the historic calculations. "It's the different timings (from different locations) which allow you to measure the distance (to Venus)," said John Mucklow of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa who used an old telescope mounted on a wooden tripod to watch the spectacle from the roof of a hotel near Johannesburg. But Dr Robert Walsh, of the University of Central Lancashire in northern England, had arguably the best viewing position -- the bedroom in northern England where Horrocks first witnessed it so long ago. "To see what he saw from a specific point is very exciting indeed," he said.

His act is funny the first couple times... try sitting there trying to watch a game and have him singing in your ear.. not fun. He's a nice guy.. but enough is enough.

Why not address the person making the claim and not crap on the rest of us.

Zingggg...

I believe he's referring to this year..? Maggs and Carlos were already committed to this year, as was their salaries. I'm pretty sure Kenny was talking about next year.

It never ceases to amaze me some of the stupid ass s*** I read on this board... :headshake

Let me clarify... who cares what he does or does not talk about? At this point in the season I pay attention to nothing but the Sox, so I give a rats ass what other players - especially Cubs players - have to say. If he talks, so be it. If he doesn't, so be it. But to comment on bs questions from the media which 95% of the time are used to cause some sort of controversy... I fail to see the point and I understand him - or anyone not wanting to be a part of it. The "extreme".... bringing up why baseball players are paid more than the military. That's clearly a can of worms that is much bigger than this issue... no?

Taking it to the extreme Tex.... dontcha think?
