QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 09:41 AM) As Costas was signing off on the NBC primetime coverage last night, he said that May/Walsh had the most impressive performance of the day in the Olympics. What a joke....I'd say that 19.30 seconds says otherwise. His two races are the most impressive thing of the whole Olympics as far as I am concerned.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 09:29 AM) Are you honestly comparing a softball league full of old people to college baseball? I guess you missed it, because there was a point in there. The level of competition and the tools of the player do make a big difference in what someone's future will be at the next levels. Statistics aren't everything.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 08:57 AM) I think we got ourselves a steal with this one. This guy hit over .400 in college ball (WVU), and went undrafted until the 15th round or something. How does that make sense? Even if he doesn't have the best tools, the guy is a hitter. I hit over .700 in my softball league... And I don't think I should be drafted. Competition and tools are very important.

If I am John McCain, in the state of the economy we have today, I BEG Alan Greenspan to run with me.

EDIT I misread the question

QUOTE (WCSox @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 09:24 PM) Yeah, I've pretty much given up on Crede at this point. I'm sorry to see him (probably) leave the Sox this way, but we have to move on. Regarding Linebrink, this sounds encouraging, but I'm not sure if it means that much... Linebrink (shoulder) threw without discomfort on Tuesday and may throw again from the side on Wednesday, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. (Aug 20) Which is exactly why Ozzie took the position he did on Crede. He has to act like he isn't coming back, and be pleasantly surprised if he does.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 06:32 PM) Obama seems more invisible now while they set up the ground offices. He is being massively outspent in TV ads by McCain and doesn't have the luxury of having his talking points spoken by the TV media. After the convention the advertisement saturation will begin. Not true, not even close to true. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=was...id=auUmkmB4O6YE

The defense and the mental lapses are the single thing that worries me the most about this team. We give away WAY too many runs. In the playoffs, that is how you lose.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 08:31 AM) You were all wondering when Obama might go negative? Well, looks like he just did. McCain/Abramoff. He's been negative forever. Just listen to any of his stump speeches.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 08:18 AM) The post he quoted was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the top. You basically took a few words, indications or general themes from McCain's campaign, and twisted them so out of shape as to be unrecognizable. Like he took it straight out of the Karl Rove/David Axelrod/James Carville playbook.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 07:33 AM) I think you guys are underestimating how much money airlines have been losing lately due to fuel costs. At the rate things are going, there won't be any airlines to fly, let alone any food to eat on the flights. I really wouldn't be surprised to see a return to the pre-deregulation cost structures, because that is what it is going to take to survive.

How do you feel about all of the middle infield cometition that you are facing now, with guys like Silvero and Beckham getting lots of money from the White Sox?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 03:05 PM) Abe's deli on franklin and adams. I finally remembered the Deli I like... Finkle's right next to the CBOE.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 04:01 PM) I thought the half chicken meal was $6.25 total including tax. Does the drink really add $1.50? I think I always ask for a cup for water since I am so healthy. ;-) I think the quarter chicken meal is six and a quarter, but maybe I am wrong. Most of it is that I have worked down here 10 years and been everywhere from Greektown to west loop, to the CBOE building to the CME building, and points in between. I have covered A LOT of ground in that time, and I know what I like. Right now we are on Monroe a block from the CME. How about Chinese? My personal favorite is the sixty five in Union Station, along with the cajun chinese place there, and the tempora house in NW station.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 06:01 PM) you cant go there. the MOMENT you attack McCain's foreign policy, they run under the "he was a POW" umbrella and use that to defend him. As if being a POW makes you more experienced. I have said for a while that my biggest fear about McCain is that he still caries a POW grudge. He was a POW for 5+ years in a war we lost. He's DETERMINED to never ever lose another war. No mater what that cost. War with Russia? bring it on!! War with Iran? SURE! Institute the drafT? ABSOLUTELY! Please don't ever make another post about McCain taking Obama out of context or flat out lying about what Obama actually said.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 07:05 PM) i would easily survive i've taken a shot for each bumper sticker slogan Obama used in a speech. trust me, it was an intense battle. Or every George Bush/Republician reference...

Also interesting to note that Boston lost as well, so the White Sox now have a better record than them by having one less loss than the BoSox.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 02:20 PM) Don't you think lefties could feast off of that arm angle? He has better numbers against lefties this year at the major league level, well in the 70 total ABs so far this year.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 02:15 PM) Anyone think Russell could be an effective major league closer? I love his arm and his arm angle. I think he could be effective as a closer if he got more consistant about his release point.

That ties him with Sammy the Steroid on the all time list.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 12:43 PM) 107 trough 5 He has got to be done with that reconstructed arm.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 12:34 PM) Or Daschle. Or Hell, Gore. Pretty much anyone but Lieberman at this point wouldn't surprise me. It won't be Gore. He has nine figures worth of investments he would have to divest to take office, and that isn't going to happen.

Liriano is up to 95 pitches with no one out in the fifth. Hopefully the A's can get to the Twins pen.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 12:14 PM) Just how cool would it be if both the Yankees and the Red Sox missed the Postseason? What would ESPN do!!!??? [crossesfingers]
