Fixing a hole where the rain gets in, and stops my mind from wandering...

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 11:15 PM) Thank you. I'm trying to avoid the insane $15 shipping charge on a single bottle if I can get the Old Man to drive one down with me, but, yeah, mail order is my lest recourse otherwise. They have Binny's all over the place in Chicago. There has got to be one close to him.

Happy Birthday

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 08:06 AM) 20,000, b****es. I'm actually pretty certain I shouldn't be proud of that. *Yawn*

"Baby you're a rich man" is probably my favorite Beatles song that starts with "B".

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 09:13 AM) T-Pain is the ultimate distraction. We should send him to a party before every big series. "Hello, Mr. Sizemore? I got two bottles of jack with your name on it!" "Yo, Texiera! What's up? Tony Pena here and i'm bringing the booze!" It is just crazy enough to work.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 09:17 AM) Yeah, sorry, pitchers duels don't really capture the imagination of fans that don't have an invested interest as much as big comebacks or back-n-forth games like this unless there is a perfect game/no hitter/20 k game going on, or story line. Story line, like a playoff birth perhaps?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 12:17 AM) I've got 6 words for those b****ing about the Inge play: Jermaine-Dye-Game-two-World-Series. The Tigers got everything they deserved and then some. You blow a 7 game lead with 20 to go and you have no business in the playoffs. I can't wait to peep motownsports.com. Perfectly said. The Tigers got what they deserved. The Twins were down starting pitching, half of their bullpen, and an MVP, and STILL made up seven games in a month. If the Sox played worth a s***, it could have been us.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 08:43 AM) Didnt he already do that with the Marlins? Detroit just paid $158 million, plus a boatload of talent for him. For sure I was talking about what he does with Detroit specifically.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 12:20 AM) Some are missing the point, it's not about the game the Sox played in. That would be a dumb question with an obvious answer. Tonight's game was a far better baseball game to watch. I was trying to get people to leave the Sox fan part out of it. For me, regardless last year was better, because I love pitching and defense.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 07:42 AM) So, the Tigers lost the division amid questions that Cabreras drunken condition cost them the last series of the year. How long does this story fester? Unless he wins the big one, the rest of his career.

Just because I love you Jim... http://www.binnys.com/spirits/Luxardo_Mara...eur_125511.html

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 12:00 PM) That is a separate discussion — which symbols offend which groups. Jumping immediately to the extreme example: Could you walk past a swastika and remain unoffended? If not, is it because of the history of inhuman brutality represented by that symbol? By extension, could you not understand if the descendants of those many ethnic and religious groups who suffered centuries of subjugation at the hands of Christians didn't get all warm and fuzzy on viewing the most sacred symbol of their historic oppressors? If that is the case, there shouldn't be a parks department, since it all pays homage to the United States of America, who has pretty much been oppressing someone since day one.

That Poo-holes guy really can hit.

So as a baseball fan, which was the better one game playoff, was it the pitching and defense of 2008, or the clutch hitting and clutch defense of 2009?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 12:43 PM) Love the Morel report - hard to find a weakness in it. Sounds like a Twins 3B.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 08:55 PM) Have we finally found our man to take the game winning shot? Even though it's preseason, James Johnson has already shown he has bigger stones than Luol Deng. That really doesn't say much. Most beaches have biggest stones than Luol.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 08:23 PM) I'm old enough to actually remember Nancy working some Bulls games. She will be missed. At least we have a season to prepare ourselves and give her the proper send off. I read where Brooks Boyer hopes she still will make occassional appearances when she retires. Over 40 years of service, she truly is a gem. Great post.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 01:35 PM) What is your problem, Sonix? I said good. I am in favor of Freddy. I'm just pointing out we need to get the Freddy of this year not a fat Freddy. Maybe he has the type of body where he could shed fat in spring training if he gets big this winter. I thought he pitched well and want him back. And I pointed out that there is zero chance of us having a year of "Fat Freddy'. At worst we get an April. In reality, the guy has something to prove, and there is about zero chance he comes to camp out of shape. An injury is the only way he doesn't make this team next year.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 08:25 PM) My favorite is Torres/Nunez as Mario. Or maybe Gavin as Horatio Caine. The smirk on Gavin's face was worth it all...

Flaxx is foiled again, and he would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for us pesky kids.

Don't start the personal attacks, I wouldn't want to get an admin involved here.

Just so I know, when does the restraining order expire?

Reifort also reporting that Matt Thornton's option has been picked up.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 11:38 AM) How many teams can say their rotation is already set with such quality starters especially? Or could say that they have six legitimate starting pitching candidates on their roster?
