QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 3, 2011 -> 12:42 PM) Yes, I said that from the very beginning. Somebody had to know. Gotcha, we agree then. That's why I was laughing at the article claiming that the Pak military didn't know anything. That is a load of crap.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 3, 2011 -> 12:22 PM) I think the vast majority of posters and the general baseball world agreed that Dunn would likely have a normal season for his standards. I also think the vast majority wouldn't have predicted he would have his appendix out in the second week of the season, either.

Bottom dwellers? Ew.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 3, 2011 -> 12:40 PM) I'm still waiting for the "sacrifices" that KW was going to make when he went to NYC. Isn't Cowley also supposed to have great sources in the Sox clubhouse? More bulls***. The Chicago media, like all sports media, has no allegiance to truth. Cowley has two sources when it comes to the Sox. AJ and Ozzie Jr.

QUOTE (WinningUgly85 @ May 3, 2011 -> 12:34 PM) I like him. I think the idea is that AJ is much easier to like from the stands, than in the locker next to him.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 3, 2011 -> 12:27 PM) Yeah, they do have some good pieces, but I feel overall their top stories and front pages tend to get very tabloid-ish, or at least more so than the Tribune. Either way, a very classy tribute by them to list those names. The ST is garbage. It is nice to see them do this, but in general it isn't much of a "news"paper.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 3, 2011 -> 12:10 PM) Think about it in this sense. Say one or two high ranking officials, a couple of generals, were well aware of it. In any military (correct me if I'm wrong, lostfan or any of the other veterans), aren't any subordinates going to just follow the order to ignore that location? I'm sure there would be plenty of people who had their doubts and reservations, but isn't it also highly frowned upon to go over someone's head in the military? So you are agreeing that people knew where BinLaden was?

These are the things I love about Ozzie. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/sport...0,1268316.story

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 3, 2011 -> 11:45 AM) So I was at breakfast this morning b****ing about the Sox and wondering where the leadership went. And who is sitting right next to me when I finally see his face.....Harold Baines. Nice work

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2011 -> 11:17 AM) He was looking better at the end of the Yankees series, then right back to blah against the O'S. He is making better contact, but not swinging it has hard has he can. To me that is a red flag.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2011 -> 11:25 AM) The Bulls from the regular season would sweep this team, or maybe give them a game in Atlanta. Don't let the 62-20 cloud you, this team had a lot of bad games this year, usually when they were heavily favored to win.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 3, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) I don't think it's quite as hilarious as you. I think the main point that is incorrect is that all of Pakistan's officials are working together, as in some high ranking officials in the military could have possibly kept bin Laden's location under wraps while the president and other officials were indeed working with the best of intentions to find him. It is laughable to think that Bin Laden was there for years, right under the noses of the Pak military and they did not know it.

He hasn't looked right to me since returning from surgery. He isn't even swining his hardest right now.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 3, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) yeah, but it did take US 4 years from really honing in on the courier to finalize this, and i assume they aren't as good as us. There have been fugitives in the US who've also lasted this long and pakistan is far less developed. I'm not saying we were great, but it also isn't like he just spent 4 years across the street from West Point either.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 3, 2011 -> 10:29 AM) are we totally sold that ISI was complicit? Its either that or they are worst f***ing spy agency on the planet. I mean worse than Spy vs Spy who always let the other guy blow him up. If that is the case, they need to shutdown and return the tax money that is funding them, because they are a complete fail.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 3, 2011 -> 10:26 AM) Maybe rushing Sale was a mistake, or they should get another lefty reliever and groom Sale now to be a starter? Sales has been less than what I was expecting this year and Thornton too for that matter. But, Matt is the veteran There was no way Sale didn't break camp with the Sox after the way he finished last year. He seems to be having repeatability and arm slot problems, which shouldn't be a big surprise with him working out of the pen for the first time in his life starting last year, and not having a whole lot of innings under his belt.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 3, 2011 -> 10:29 AM) I don't believe it. That's like saying nobody liked Carlton Fisk. It would have been interesting for him to play in today's game. I'll bet the perception of him would have been a whole lot different today than in the 70's and 80's when lots of lockerroom stuff didn't get out.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ May 2, 2011 -> 10:56 AM) Then you can see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps. Just as long as it isn't Julie Andrews...

Vitrually realistic.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 3, 2011 -> 09:02 AM) My point in comparing Hitler/WW2 with today was that we will never go back to a post 9/11 world. We will never get rid of homeland security, the TSA, the screenings, etc. Even the cold war, we eventually won and people stopped buying bomb shelters because it we were at "war" with a nation. This isn't a nation. They're random groups of people. I'm not even suggesting that WW2 was somehow less impactful, I'm saying that OBL's actions led to a similarly life-altering change in our society. So to say he's just a nobody small b**** that failed is ridiculous and ignores reality. tell that to the countries we fought wars in because of the results of WWII. Tell that to the countries that fell under the iron curtian, and still suffer from its effects to this day.

They had 18k on a half price night last night. The total attendence for these two games might be 35k
