QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 11:23 PM) You'll note that the names that are mentionned who came up in the meeting didn't end up being the nominee (I was hoping for Prado as the best we could get out of Bush). How do you know that at the meeting the Dems didn't give like 3 or 4 guys they couldn't support and say that Roberts was on that list? I doubt it, since the guy seems chosen specifically to avoid a prolongued fight, but meeting with does not equal listening. And listening doesn't equal picking the guy you are told to under threat of filibuster, either. Of course we aren't going to get a transcribed document that has all of the conversations to have picked apart, but I'd say meeting with somebody is a good indication you are working with somebody. Especially since I didn't hear anyone crying that he didn't work with us, I am apt to believe he at least listened to the Dems.

[stolen from around the horn] Kerry Wood hurt his shoulder.

QUOTE(thelatinoheat_30 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 08:55 PM) i'm more disturbed by his bad decision-making in the outfield. offensively, he has to learn to lay off the slow stuff in the dirt away, he always strikes out on that. Bad decesion making? Are you drunk?

If you take Iguchi out of the two hole, you sabatogue the whole line up. We might look at who is hitting 3-4-5 in the lineup, but 1-2 has been the one thing that has worked right all year long.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 08:25 PM) I signed up with the Bush campaign and both Texas Senators, have voted GOP in several races, donated to GOP candidates, and for some reason I cannot stay on their mailing lists. I have never given a dime to any politician nor worked for any of their campaigns yet the Repubs have been sending me stuff for years. I have always voted for GOP Presidential canditates, but have split my ballot in most local races, go figure.

Wow, Tex isn't the only one with high level connections... The Chairman of the RNC is emailing me personally. :sleep Glad this went to my junkmail.

Here is one of the quickest ways to secure my vote Ann Coulter saids Roberts wrong pick Now if only Molly Ivans would hate on Roberts, I would be sold.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) Why do it at the expense of the most important person in our lineup? Do you really think that we should be sitting Pods as much as we have against lefties? How do you get those 3 regular ABs without sacrificing Scott Pods against lefties? Keep in mind, Dye has been our hottest bat over the last couple months, Carl Everett is second by 3 on the team in RBIs, and Frank Thomas needs to play almost everyday to get his swing back in order, plus he is the most famous player in White Sox history. Who do you play them against and how often?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 07:54 PM) I can't stress this more, but I HATE how Pods has basically become a platoon player now. We didn't trade a tremendous offensive player in order to get a platoon player and a long reliever. Pods is the engine that makes this team go, and I don't see why we keep acting like he can't hit lefties. And if you ignore the bigger picture of trying to get Carl Everett, Frank Thomas, and Jermaine Dye their ABs you never will get it.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 07:35 PM) Wait isn't Hatch a Republican? Did Clinton ask a Republican for his recommendation before nominating somone? :rolly Wow, I wonder if Bush considered that? Before the nomination... http://www.wpherald.com/storyview.php?Stor...13-100955-4453r and after... http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?.../w142749D44.DTL damn Bush for not meeting with Dems

Yeah I went back and did some research. I don't know where you got your chart from, but I think this is the right one.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) Kongs hitting chart at the Cell. Its a blood bath at third. That can't be right, there are way too many marks to the right of SS. The game threads said all he can do is pull the ball, what's up with that?

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) Carl doesn't believe Konerko exists. Well to be fair, they never did talk about loudmouthed sucky first basemen in the bible.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) I cant help but think that we are turnign on Pauly in the same fashion as Cubs fans turned on Sham-Me. But its purely on performance, and not on a bad attitude and cork, so it must be ok. Its fun too dammit No one would turn on him if he didn't suck.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) Wusses. You don't have rain for a couple of weeks and you think you're in a drought. Puuuullleeze. :rolly Maybe because we don't live in the middle of a stinking DESERT!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) Konerko also said he is extremely dissapointed in the pitch that Freddy threw to Shelton for a homer. Shelton was also the best [insert position here] he has ever played against.

George Bush seems to be catering to his base... Hoosiers. Turns out Roberts spent time growing up in the Long Beach area of Michigan City.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:43 PM) And Jones hits a game winning Dong in the bottom of the 9th Damn Paul Konerko

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) stop all rumors now. Burnett just got traded to the Royals for one of there players on one knows. Royals feel there still in the hunt for wildcard. You might want to go back and put this in green, have a link, or delete it. We don't care for false rumors around these parts.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:23 PM) I'm sorry but I will not be willing to part with top quality for Schmidt..... He has a road ERA of 5.22 and batting against of .297... The AL would absolutely destroy him and in the cell can you spell ERA of 6... I'm sorry for the big font but i'm so sick of the people who say, he hit 94 on the gun he must be good now... He was mediocore before the Giants and steroids and I wouldn't put it past him to be mediocore now.. I know you think you are on to something, but making baseless accusations about steroids is juvenille at best, libel at worst. You are taking your interpretation of the facts as you believe them, and coming up with an answer you have no real proof of, and posting it as fact, dispite the fact that is could get you and this site sued. By the same logic, I could take the fact that you like to hang out on a message board that has a lot of kids on it and label you a child molester. I have no evidence and nothing except anectotal evidence to back it up but hey, if I run around typing it in really big font and loud colors, maybe people will believe me.

Its already starting to get lighter downtown, they should be taking the tarp off in 10-15 minutes unless there is more rain behind this... Paul Konerko sucks.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) owned ^ That's one of those plays where you just stick in your pocket, because there is no way of getting him back.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:06 PM) See how easy that was .. Why did Paul Konerko make it rain during the game? Could he have waited until after the game? I guess if he didn't suck so bad he could have... Man this game thread stuff is easy.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:03 PM) Real 'game related' post.. :rolly OH yeah I forgot. I work at Clinton and Jackson, Paul Konerko sucks.
