Dunn, Dunn, Dunn, Dunn...

So how does mens bathroom etiquette work here... Three urinals on the wall. Two are regular sized, one is the short one. Short urinal is on the far right. First guy in uses the far left tall one. Is it OK for the second guy to use the other tall one, or does he have to go to the short one?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 29, 2011 -> 08:09 AM) Crazy talk I know, but if he does pass through waivers and goes to Charlotte, I predict Marquez ends up looking pretty impressive there. Which is ideal honestly.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 07:13 PM) Todd Bertuzzi gonna be suspended for the rest of the regular season. That was dirty and he has a track record of being a dirty player. Yeah, there was no part of that which was even clean.

Ha-ha. Bob's older than I am!

Kruk and Olney picked the Sox to win the ALC. Kirkjen picked the Twins.

Just killed a man

For example If the Sox get 25 starts from Jake Peavy, then they win the division. Lets hear what your keys that will make or break the season are!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) So for the next 5 weeks(until May 2nd) I've decided that I'm going to completely give up partying(drinking, going out, drunk meals) and 100 percent focus on my nutrition/exercise program to get me to exactly where I want to be. I'm going to allow myself to eat a slice or two of pizza once a week but besides that, it'll be completely healthy eating. I've figured I've come this far so I might as well go all out to reach my ultimate goal. And for the people that know me, giving up partying for a week let alone 5 is pretty difficult for me. Going to be real tough but I got everything set up and I'm going to get this done. I'll drink your share

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 04:26 PM) I've always liked Brandon, still hope he manages to get his career and health back on track. Ditto. He has got to learn to stay healthy.

TRU, way to own up to your words!

Get a brat. What else do you need?

Eh, I am pretty much expecting the same Mark Buehrle we have seen for years. 220 IP, 4ish era, and keeping us in just about every game. We all know he isn't going to overpower anyone, but still to this day hitters don't really square him up.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 02:06 AM) So why did I read somewhere that the Cubs are on the hook for $8M? Why not $11M? I know there is a buyout for next year. I wonder if that is it.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) But the question is: Will JR and KW have the patience to stick with the current team if they get out to a .500 start over the first two months and attendance stays similar to last year? I get the sense from upper management that if the team gets off to a slow or even .500 start AND fans aren't coming to the park in the way they had hoped, then by the ASB the dismantling of the 2011 Chicago White Sox will have already begun. It depends how far out we get. If we get down 10 games in the process, this team gets blown up. No question in my mind.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 11:35 AM) If it was going to happen, why is Phil Humber the 5th starter. Because you don't spend a lot of money on three starts.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 11:07 AM) I don't see how you can be excited if it's based on Peavy even just being dependable. Regardless of how the Sox front office wants to paint it, peavy's "setback" is a major disappointment. We have 12 games (8 on the road) against the Yankees and Rays in April to go along with a 3 game series in Detroit. Phil Humber is the 5th starter, very scary. How is something we were told was going to happen, a major disappointment?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 08:31 AM) "Things that belong in multiple threads". USA Today has taken an in-depth look at one of the schools in Washignton DC that has been held up as a model for national test-based education reform. The Trib has a similar story that followed classes where there was 6 to 7 standard deviation increases in scores, and then huge drop offs in the next years. Big picture, the cheating that goes on in these things is massive. Test scores are a stupid way to rate children. Unfortunately with the continued federalization of education, this is the future.

to me

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 08:52 PM) yeah, but he is a guy with 11m dollars! He has that regardless. If he wanted a shot at a contract in2012, he needs a job now.
