QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ May 3, 2011 -> 06:02 AM) A White Sox winner? Has this been definitively confirmed? Seriously, pictures can be faked. I think I need to see the extended box score before I will believe it.

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ May 3, 2011 -> 12:30 AM) Danks' FB is down 0.3mph Floyd's is down 1.8mph Buehrle's is down 0.5mph Santos is down 1.2mph Ohman is down 0.7mph Jackson is down 0.8mph Crain is down 0.9mph Notice a trend? Fastball velocities are almost always down at the start of the season. That's not the problem. I take it those numbers are from season end last year, and not YTD vs YTD?

QUOTE (joeynach @ May 2, 2011 -> 11:20 PM) Also check this out. PitchFX data in Fangraphs shows that Thornton is featuring a ChangeUp 9.8% of the time after throwing 0 change's in 2009 or 2010. How can that be. Did Thronton really try and come out and feature a change? Or is this an error in the way the PitchFX algorithms determine pitch type from the data and its actually his slider? http://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?play...&position=P I think Matt listened to all of the people who said a one pitch pitcher couldn't close, and made changes he didn't need to make. Feature the fastball, and go back to being Matt Thornton.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 2, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) Link Very cool. I like the fact you'll be able to get to it without going to a game.

People not liking AJ is news? What next, people hate high beer prices at the cell? how the heck is this news?

I'd be more interested to know who opposed the actions in there.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 2, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) He (is Osama) changed the world forever. In comparison after World War II things went back to normal. Wait, the cold war was "normal"?

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 2, 2011 -> 07:01 PM) I agree (you're sounding kind of like a lefty though, lol, that's one of the things we've been saying) I guess it's like... do you want to be that guy who acts like Dwyane Wade, who goes to dunk while the guy guarding him is letting him dribble out the clock because the game is won? QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 2, 2011 -> 09:02 PM) Its not an absolute, its just if it could cause 1 more terrorist, who may kill more people, why do it? (edit) That is the rationale argument, the moral argument is clearly against celebrating. All you have to do is look at the quote I posted about what god said to the hebrews after they left Egypt. You dont cheer for the suffering of others. Thats been a judeo christian rule since almost 6000 years ago. That is pretty much where I was going. Yeah we got our guy, and it is one less thing we have to worry about. Hopefully it gives the people truly afflicted by 9/11, and not just the frat boys who want to party and drink, a sense of closure and healing. Its more about what's right, than stooping down to their level.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 2, 2011 -> 06:48 PM) I'm not celebrating (in the sense that I am outside cheering) but a mass murderer is dead and I think I'm cool with it. The other side of this comes in the vein of trying to improve our image in the world. There was a lot of talk about how our actions looked to the rest of the world during the Bush years, and those kids of celebrations aren't going to help it at all. The best way I know how to put it is like this. How would we have felt if it was our President who got shot, and we got to watch the people responsible for it (in a nation sense) celebrate publicly, knowing that they too were responsible for a lot of deaths around the world?

So are we going with Deathers on this one? http://www.facebook.com/cindyssoapbox/posts/128596820550958

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 2, 2011 -> 01:30 PM) That seems far fetched but it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities that a few recruits of theirs, living here, can detonate explosives in highly populated areas. Soft target attacks would be incredibly easy in the US.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 2, 2011 -> 01:28 PM) I wonder if they had a plan in place that if for some reason OBL was killed, several terrorist attacks be carried out within the US within X number of days. God I hope not. As we all know, we have a ton of vulnerabilities here including trains stations and other public areas. A week ago a story came out saying they had a nuke they were going to detonate if OBL even was killed or caught.

Before it gets crazy, because the trip down the road has already started, let's not forget the rules of the forum. K? Thnx.

Also an interesting footnote from about a week ago... http://www.whatsontianjin.com/news-455-al-...-wikileaks.html

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 2, 2011 -> 10:22 AM) If he had been dead for seven years, there is no doubt it would have been leaked by someone in the U.S. government at some point over the last seven years. Anytime I see Bush connected to a vast conspiracy the first thing I think of is that we never found WMDs in Iraq. If Bush was good enough to pull off something like that, you are telling me he couldn't have had a couple of anthrax bombs dumped in the desert to "find"? And then that he could pull of a 9-11 or something way more complex and crazy? Yeah, I don't buy it.

That's marketing gold!

Here is a twist that I fully expected to see, but I had no idea it had started years ago. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12...war-terror.html

Really allows you to work your hands into it.

Piss in your cheerios sucks.

Now you take that back!

Lame

Just stop.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 2, 2011 -> 09:42 AM) So what are we giving the Pakistanis in return for them giving him up? You means besides the billions we have given them already?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 2, 2011 -> 09:28 AM) WOW! Apparently the US got all of the computers/hard drives in the compound. THat's a HUGE blow to Al Qaeda Now that is huge. Bigger than getting Osama.
