If someone gets a hit with no one out and a runner on third, Linebrink doesn't even pitch.

I am pretty surprised to see Jonnie Lowe, Henry Mabee and Jacob Rasner on that list. I figured there would be other guys ahead of them.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 06:51 PM) That doesn't mean we need to like the errors. I'd rather see a ball get past him then it get thrown away for two bases.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 03:07 PM) /Trolling and smart ass comment. Seriously, he likes the Sox, and I'm glad he doesn't put on a different uniform for every city (or stadium in some cases) he's in. At least he's consistent about that. Even Richie Daley pulled that crap. I am happy Barack resisted the pressure.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 05:40 PM) In baseball, sometimes small sample sizes is all you have. If Nix wants to keep the starting spot, he needs to "steal" it by making it impossible for Ozzie to go back to the status quo when Getz is back. His power was on display this month (3 HRs, 2 2Bs), but so was his defense (in a bad way - 3 errors this month). For a guy that is supposed to bring so much with his glove, he's been disappointing this month. Nix has 10 errors in 69 games worth of play this year. Only 51 of those were starts.

And there are few things on the horizon that haven't happened yet... The GM and Chrysler closings haven't happened yet... The Commercial real estate crash hasn't really happened yet... inflation hasn't kicked in yet...

Like I have said before, this is one situation Ozzie has been 100% right on. This is a perfect platoon situation. Nix is great versus lefties and scary versus righties. Getz has been solid the other way around.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 05:14 PM) Doesn't Harrison have a pretty large reputation of being a loner and not having very my friends on teams he plays for? I honestly don't know. I'll be the first to admit I am 100% fair weather football fan. It ranks under baseball, hockey, and basketball for me.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 02:44 PM) Expect Getz to hit 40 points higher now. I may have asked this before, but why isn't Hriniak the hitting coach? We seem to send our guys with continual hitting problems to him, and he seems better than Walker. Also, how do you pronounce his name? I have just figured it was her-nee-ack. Drop the H in the pronunciation. Rin-E-ak.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 05:00 PM) Very interesting. This would be a good move because I think Marvin (assuming he's a good worker), could teach the Bears WR's a lot of stuff. That would be reason #1 to sign him IMO. If he could help the kids, it would be awesome. If not, his best days have passed anyway.

Incredible pics GT. The power of nature is incredible.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 10:27 AM) Peavy is on the 40 man Bah, I meant 25 man.

They really didn't want this out there when the talk is about expensive this health care plan is going to be.

Loser

I am going to go with... Wise-Torres-Whisler-Flowers-Lillbridge(will be sent down for Peavy)-Nunez

So who is going to come off of the 40 man roster now?

QUOTE (Molto @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 08:24 AM) ^^^^ The situation with Quentin was different since he was in a rundown. The play described doesn't involve a rundown. Like I said, the runner was tagged out trying to return to second base because he had not properly tagged up. He was not forced out at second on the throw direct to the base. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. We had this come up last night in softball and the umpire gave the team the run. I argued it was a force out type play, and that the run couldn't have scored until the runner from second became a "legal" base runner. Because he hadn't tagged up properly, the runner from third was moot. Then again this ump also blew a infield fly rule because he said it was too close to the foul territory...

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 12:10 PM) you should watch stephon marburys video where he is smoking a joint on camera saying its ok because he doesnt have a contract and he isnt breaking any rules King of the Idiots...

OK, here's the situation. Runners on second and third one out. Fly ball to the LF which is caught for the second out. Runner on third tags up properly and runs to home. The runner on second does NOT tag, and is tagged out trying to return to second. The player going home tags home plate before the runner is tagged out for the third out. Does the run count?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 12:45 AM) Being that he's on the DL - he's already part of the 40 man, right? Yes. The only way he wouldn't have been on it is if he was on the 60 day DL.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 11:39 AM) While I see some logic in those arguments, there is one key issue that always bothers me about it. Why exactly do we think that a solution to our health care issues is "Covering less stuff"? That's usually an implicit or explicit point in those arguments; it would enable insurers to get around the minimum coverage requirements that some states have instituted by offering the same plans as other states. But the issue I have with that is...why exactly do we think that covering less stuff with insurance is a way to fix what ails the industry? It strikes me that a big problem with health insurance as it currently stands is that it tends to not cover enough anyway. Thus you have the common occurence of people fighting their insurer to get them to cover treatments that you'd expect to be covered if you have insurance, and just flat out awful things like different prices for men and women based on whether or not they can have kids or different prices for people whether or not their policies cover those sorts of things, etc. I feel like one of the goals here is to establish some basic level of coverage such that people don't have to worry about getting sick, not to have people have more opportunity to gamble on which disease they might get. So instead I pay for whatever risks you take. That sounds fair.

Quite contrary to the fillibuster posts which are full of math...

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:07 AM) Yep, though the first was written by John and Paul and only sung by him. Ditto for Yellow Submarine and Good Night. He gets writing and vocal credits for Don't Pass Me By. He also sang lead vocals on the old Luther Dixon and Wes Farrell song Boys. Ringo was great, even as an undistinguished drummer, and the band wouldn't have been the same without him. The greatest song he ever did was the no song.
