QUOTE (WCSox @ May 26, 2010 -> 10:49 AM) Peavy has pitched for the Sox for the equivalent of less than half a season, and you're already predicting that he'll be a useless financial albatross. Being disappointed with a small sample size is understandable, but extrapolating a doom-and-gloom scenario based on that sample size makes little sense to me. Basically a quarter of a season.

Nice pitch and a nice dig at first.

Nice break down of the replay by Hawk. It wasn't even close.

Well Randy Williams is in, so it is pretty much 1-0

It is pretty bad when you can get Buehrle to lose it.

What a joke.

If I am Donald I am trying to get him to do the pick off move.

Was that a double or triple clutch?

QUOTE (Soxy @ May 26, 2010 -> 10:32 AM) I see what you did they're and I don't approve! Thanks for the Birthday wishes! I had a really lovely day. And happy b-day to Jim Spencer! I couldn't resist!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 26, 2010 -> 11:33 AM) so was the balk called on marks pickoff move or did he move when he came set? Had to be on the pickoff move. If it would have been on the set, he would have had to come home before they could call it.

Real nice bunt by Lexi.

Well let's see if that matters at all...

So Joe West wants to argue with Mark Buehrle, but won't talk to Ozzie? That's bushleague s*** right there.

This game is going to be over by 12:30

It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if the runner hadn't have already left second base on that play.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 26, 2010 -> 08:15 AM) Heading into Chicago in the afternoon is "usually" not bad, depending on construction and accident schedules. If you're really worried about traffic, know your bypass routes. (i.e. going into the city you have the choice of 80/94, the road I hate more than any other road I've ever driven, and 90 - the tollway). If 94 jams, there are usually 2-3 roads you can take north up to hit 90 and still be able to reach the city They are working on both of them right now. My advice would be to turn on something like AM 780 and listen to traffic reports as you get close, and adjust route based on that. I would imagine outbound would be the nightmare right at that time, but with construction, you never know.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 26, 2010 -> 10:13 AM) I don't think it's valid to compare Katrina and this. Though both are disasters, one of them was an "act of God", and the other was something we allowed a company to do, only out of what appears to be ineptitude or carelessness, they didn't follow proper safety procedure and this occurred. Blaming republicans or democrats in this case is just stupid. This is BP's fault, or whoever BP hired to drill and maintain this rig. One of the underlying factors/risks of doing such drilling all falls on BP, IMO, since they're the ones that reap the rewards out of said risks. Also of side note, those of you who rated me as a 1 star out of 5 stars poster , this is something I just noticed in my profile! Honestly I think you are right in a sense, but not the one you described. The Bush admin at least tried to respond, no matter how badly they did. This is WAY worse, because the Obama admin is actually refusing to respond to this.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 26, 2010 -> 08:06 AM) I'm not. In the Katrina case...the government ineptitude was because the people in charge didn't care one bit about FEMA, and used it as a place to put their college roommates. In this case...the government ineptitude comes from the exact same place that it comes from in the financial crisis...the business world has no interest in dealing with a qualified review and oversight process, so they have bought off the process. lol. Either way it is the Republicians fault, and that is what is important here.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ May 26, 2010 -> 09:36 AM) Is it hypocritical for those who scream for smaller government, to be critical that the federal government hasn't stepped in to take over the oil spill efforts? Is it hypocritical for those who scream for more government to make excuses for a federal government that hasn't stepped in to take over the oil spill efforts?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 25, 2010 -> 04:21 PM) Ellsbury will be heading back to CF for the Red Sox, even though Cameron is just about to come off the DL. It certainly sounds like the Red Sox have almost zero confidence in Cameron's ability to stay healthy for the rest of the season, if they're making this move. Cameron's believed to be a much better defensive CF than Ellsbury based on most of the metrics and based on the eye test as well, and he hasn't played anywhere but CF since 2000 except for a stint with the Mets in 2005. I know others disagree with me on this one...but if the Sox go into full firesale mode, and Boston wins a couple more games to pull close to the Yankees for the wild card...that's a team that could both benefit from and afford to take on Rios. FIRE OZZIE!!!

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 25, 2010 -> 09:20 PM) Chicago could be in the running, but instead of taking a perfectly good oppurtunity to build a bigger, brand new and top of the line stadium, we "renovated" the Historic Soldier Field by placing a freaking flying saucer on top of it. We could have a top of the line 80,000-100,000 seat stadium with a retractable roof. But no, that woulda made too much sense. I wish it would have happened cause that would mean we were actually a legit candidate to bring in another NFL franchise and give me an oppurtunity to root for a team that hopefully cared more about winning and putting out a good product instead of the s*** I have to go through with being a Bears fan. Who was going to pay the billion dollars for it?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 25, 2010 -> 05:57 PM) I wonder if Ohio is nice. You live in Iowa. Outside of like Gary and Detroit, anything is "nice".
