QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:09 PM) Well, technically there is already a special prosecutor. None of the facts would have come out had there not been. The CIA originally requested one be appointed in 2003, and the DOJ complied and gave us Fitzgerald. Which means the DOJ is serious. Fitzgerald isn't afraid of anyone and is a bulldog.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) We all know if this was a Dem in the White House or a Dem COngress, we would be talking about a special investigator, etc. etc. etc. Where's the Hammer? Depends on what your definition of "is" is.

And here is the ugly side of something like this. A group of British kids beat a Pakistani to death, in what was called a case of "Islamaphobia". http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,...1527288,00.html

Beatles Bootlegs 1968 (thanks to Hammerhead!!)

But Jeff Bajenaru will!!!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) Not for all of us. I suppose I could drive to LAX, buy a ticket somewhere, and get myself to a newsstand that carries the paper that way. Usually they post the ads on Whitesox.com, but it doesn't look like it has been posted there yet. Maybe soon?

Just to give some front page props to some people who deserved it, I wanted to go ahead and post the Standings for the Pick to Click Contest. The PTC is in its 3rd year and has by far record participation as compared to the first 2 years that I have run the contest. Many more people are playing, and thus there are a lot of people who are still in the running to win a very nice prize. Currently Yoda is leading the way with his 15 successful picks, but there are a bunch of people who are not too far behind him. For those who do not know, there is a very nice prize for this years winner, which can be viewed here... http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=28759 Also with all of the FNG's on Soxtalk, a friendly reminder that both of the contests that are currently going on here are free and open to all posters to particpate in. No sign up is necesary for the Pick to Click or the YNOT contest. If you want to play, all you have to do is read the rules, and post your picks in the right places. Both contests are located on the Contest board, towards the bottom of the main page of Soxtalk. Good luck to Yoda, but watch your back. You have soxnbears01, EvilJester99, Sox1422, Credepopsup, danman31, POTUSChris, ChWRoCk2, FlaSoxxJim, Goldmember, DBAH0, greasywheels121, mreye, rangercal, and Spod=ratings all within a hot streak of taking that prize away from you.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) Wow.. you two got close at Soxfest.. Yeah I gave him all of my spill-over chicks and he hasn't quit calling me ever since.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) This is from Scott Reifert's blog: http://whitesoxpride.mlblogs.com/ Does anyone know if there's anywhere online to see these? I don't know where to find them, but they are in today's Trib. They look kinda like a movie poster with action shots of the 4 players in the bottom right and it has "****" across the top left to look like a movie review of 4 stars. In small print across the bottom it has a congrats message. It is pretty sharp.

QUOTE(Stocking @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) Try Fatty Patty to spice the night up! ..... ............... That pic can't stay... People can get fired for that stuff.

Also another honor for Jeff Bajenaru, he was named to the AAA All-Star team for 2005. Congrats to Jeff

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) LOL! Considering I had to force him to go to his buddy's bachelor party that was at a strip club, I think he is being fairly honest (there is several things that have happened as a reason that I am not getting into that figure into why he doesn't like strip clubs or strippers). Brian isn't Porkchop is he??? http://pchopchronicles.blogspot.com/2005/0...o-porkchop.html

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) I was wondering when that would happen. I had #2. How ironic and yet appropriate

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) I hope he continues to scortch down there... so he can be gotten for something more then a bag of moldy balls. Speaking of bags of moldy balls... Have they sent Willie down yet?

Damn

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) What the hell is hockey? Who had 15 posts in the gratuitous hockey hater post pool?

LMFAO!!!

Not a chance. Listening to KW talk earlier this year, it was pretty evident to me that he had given up on Borch. I wouldn't be surprised if he was included in a deadline deal.

Hey guys, please don't post stuff about illegal downloads and stuff like that, it is against site policies. Thanks. I edited some stuff out of some posts.

And for a little fun with numbers, a look at tax revenues before and after the tax cuts. http://www.poorandstupid.com/2005_07_10_ch...111027505546464

Happy Birthday Dude!!!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) The only reason that WON'T happen is because he's already making boo-coo bucks from endorsements. Which will go up a lot of if he lands in a big city I would bet...

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:11 AM) Looks like we have a few guys making a mockery of the Pioneer League. Brandon Allen is putting up Barry Bonds type numbers. Torres has some nice stats, so does Rote and Richard. Which of these guys are age appropriate/prospects? Brandon Allen is a year out of high school IIRC.
