QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) Oh yes he can. Your bad luck you went "to bed".. :sleep Yuo snooze.. you lose. A little editing to help you out there...

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 11:08 AM) It's a legend that will never die. All i can hope is that the "Security" bit is remembered more than other things that night/entire next day (steff better also...) Sorry B, it is a package deal. You can't tell one story without the other one

Great advice for a no "live entertainment" bachelor party QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 10:04 AM) You need a monkey, a goat, 100lbs if gummy worms, chocolate pudding, a hydrolic pump, 15 gallons of your choice of lubricant and a rubber duck.

ANy rumors on how they will do the hockey draft?

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) Bat girl posted a hilarious entry following the Twins losses to the Royals. I highly recommend reading the July 10th entry on the origins of sucking in baseball... A highlight: Unable to control said curiosity, Pandora opened the jar and out swarmed terrible beasts named E-4, KL, GIDPwRISP, and Frank Thomas. As a curse from Zeus to humanity, poor Pandora had let out all the world's sucking. In penance, she spent the rest of her days as a Cubs fan. Someone want to tell me again how she is unoriginal and depends on stupid nicknames for her humor? I haven't seen anything with near the combination of humor and intelligence in a long time.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) glad to hear the good news keith. i'm suprised you weren't playign poker and losing all your money again Security probably stopped by

ESPN Zone is a great guys night out.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 09:48 AM) Is it possible that the Saturday, July 23rd game against Boston is already sold out? Tried best available on Ticketmaster and got absolutely nothing. If it is indeed sold out, if anybody's getting rid of 2 lower level seats for that game, let me know. It would be much appreciated. It is very possible. The games last year were impossible to get tickets to.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 09:22 AM) Because it doesnt' make sense. That argument is completely fallacious. The way that I look at it, some of my friends smoke--most do not. When they go out for a smoke the rest of us hang out in the establishment. They come back, we all have a good time and pay before we leave. I live in New York state (as you all know) and the bars, clubs, restuarants are ALWAYS packed. And I've never seen anyone skip out on a bill. And I can tell you I go out more often if only because I know I won't have to breathe the smoke--so the way I see it, there's an increase of people that go out instead of drink at private homes because of the no smoke. . . Heck neither my wife or me are smokers, and ever since she got pregnant we have totally quit going to bars, instead going to places that have real non-smoking areas. We would probably go out more often if something like this were to happen where we live.

Jeff Baj has continued his "man-hand"ling of AAA hitters. His numbers continue to astound, especially when you factor in the field he plays his home games at. Currently Jeff is 3-1 with 12 saves. In 40 games covering 47.2 IP, he has a tiny era of 1.13, getting 57 strikeouts over that span. He has only given up 30 hits, to go along with 23 walks, giving him a WHIP barely over 1.00 as well. Charlotte as a team has managed to move out of last place passing up Richmond with their 30th win. So for perspectives sake, Baj has factored into half of the Charlotte Knights wins in 2005.

An update from the Bull himself... Jim was slowed for a while by a muscle pull in his armpit of all places which is what caused him to hit the DL for a spell earlier this year. Since coming back from the DL, Jim has since been promoted to Charlotte (where he should have been from Day one IMO). He started a few games, but has since moved back to the pen with the return of Brandon McCarthy to the Knights. The Bull is back to full strength health-wise, but it basically in spring training mode trying to make up for the time and strength he lost from his injury, because he wasn't even able to pick up a baseball for a period of weeks. Jim is excited to be getting regular and frequent work out of the pen, and on the side. He feels that his velocity will be back to full strength very soon. My personal spin is that Jim Bullard is in a very good situation to take advantage of his god given lefthandedness right now. After Neal Cotts and Damaso Marte there are really no clear cut solid lefty relievers in the Sox organization, especially with the preformance of Kevin Walker leaving a lot to be desired, Bull could be viewed as next in line after Arnie Munoz on the depth charts for lefty relievers in the Sox organization. If Bull can get back to full strength and turn some heads in a tough pitchers park in Charlotte, he might be able to get himself a chance at the big time.

I really don't understand the arguement that if everyone bans smoking, it hurts revenues... If everyone does it, how does it hurt everyone? Do people just stop eating or something???

QUOTE(winodj @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 08:47 AM) Gotta get on the gravy train somehow, eh? You know how well local politics pays Here is my rough draft. What do you all think, is it too much?

QUOTE(winodj @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) I'm lucky to be in New Jersey. Eminent Domain has been a big deal out where I live for a long time... and being an election year, a lot of Dems are trying to make themselves look better by trying to restrict eminent domain rights of municipalities. There's movement on the New Jersey level, and its my assemblymen that are behind it no less. If you care about this issue, petition your alderman, legislator, state senator to take it up. Because its the only way to see it saved. I am starting the movement in Michigan City as we speak. I am working on a letter to the Anvil Chorus to challenge Oberlie and company to do something. This is going to be one quality fire and brimstone letter. Maybe this will be the kickoff to my budding political career...

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:39 AM) I did not lose any respect for Gary Sheffield with that comment. Why? Because I never had any for him to begin with. ^^^ If I am a reporter, I just follow Gary Sheffield around and ask him stupid questions, because sooner rather than later he is going to say something ignorant.
