QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ May 24, 2005 -> 12:34 AM) people in general saying that o well we lost...some people just piss me off when we play like s*** and there like o well we lost I love people who think they are bigger fans because they b**** the loudest.

With that pathetic free agent class, there is no doubt that Konerko is gone. Plus add to that the fact that Konerko hasn't been extended yet, and the writing is one the wall. My theory, look for one of the starting pitchers to be dealt for a first baseman and some depth in the off-season.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 24, 2005 -> 12:17 AM) Its amazing how observant fans can identify things like this but certain hitting coaches, who have the luxury of film and scouting reports, and a good many of the players cannot. And you know what that saids to me? IT ISN'T THAT EASY!!!! If it were THAT easy, WE would be doing it, and having some dopes on message boards tearing us apart for getting shutout FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR!!!

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 23, 2005 -> 03:18 PM) This is gonna go out pretty soon, so anyone wanting to join in, PM SS. Yeah I have gotten like 25 more names. Good job guys, keep em comin. Let me know when you want that list Alex.

Wow, Cincinnati has begun the youth movement and kissed 2005 good-bye. Seriously did any team have a worse off season?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 23, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) To answer your orignal question, times change, sports change and areas change. I look around Chicago (and I mean the actual city, not the burbs) and I see it moving away from it's blue collar reputation. No, it's not impossible to win with our payroll and a huge payroll doesn't guarantee success, but can you imagine what KW might be able to accomplish with just an extra 10-15 extra mil per year? An interesting question. My concern would have been that the temptation would have been to not subtract some of the problems we had, and instead to just add to the team. This winter was solid not only for who we added, but who we chose to get rid of. I wonder if KW would have just simply spent the extra money, and if that were the case, would it have changed our luck at all. And as for spending money, we all know that it helps, but doesn't necesarily mean anything. A great example, is if you add up all of the Yankees payrolls starting with 2000, they have spent just under $800 million, and have won the same amount of WS's as we have, none.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ May 23, 2005 -> 02:35 PM) If Paul Wellstone didnt die, I am pretty sure he would of won now, I have this clown 'representing' me in the Senate . I have never liked him I never realized that Wellstone was a Socialist, until I got conned into sitting into a meeting of the Democratic Socialists of American. They talked about this guy like he was a demigod. You talk about a group that is left of left of left. Basically the government should pay for everything for everyone always. These people were certifiably off of their rockers. Jan Shakcowsky(sp) is another one.

Whatever happened to the condos that were supposed to go up at State and 35th?

Christopher Walken as Han Solo? Damn that would have changed the whole series. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7907626/

QUOTE(The Critic @ May 23, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) If you look closely you can see that Burnitz is clearly IN the weeds on the wall... ...I'd blow that up for an extreme closeup, but I'm too busy today.... They really should remove those baskets, maybe put up a little fence or something to keep the drunks from falling over the wall instead. I'm thinking spikes to impail themselves on would be more effective... [authors note, no green text was on purpose]

And actually here is Iguchis HR into the basket, to contrast it with. With a 200% zoom off of a regular imaging program, the seem of the fence is clearly visible through the ball, meaning it is inside the basket, and not outside of it.

Here is an option for the NHL... play some f***ing hockey

This consumer alert has just been issued for all females. BE AWARE!!

I like it all except for our pitchers hitting. That scares me.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 23, 2005 -> 08:55 AM) Seams on a ball aren't that big and aren't grayish-green. The size of the seams looks proportional to the ball. Also the sun/shadowns going into the ivy when added to an extreme zoom, could play with the color. Plus I did a little visual aiding here. If you look at the yellow lines, each of them follows a piece of the fencing grid. Then all of the sudden when you get to the ball, that pattern breaks, and turns into the exact same curvature that the seams of a baseball would have. I don't think there is any doubt that this ball was under, not in, the fencing.

QUOTE(Iguana @ May 23, 2005 -> 08:49 AM) looks like it's in front of the basket to me. That's what I was thinking too. If you follow the pattern of the chain link, it disappears behind the ball. It is a gridded pattern, and the pattern accross the ball curves, I think you are looking at the seams.

That's freaking awesome.

Dispite the people not understanding what Ozzie was trying to do, everyone knows that was the correct move in that situation. When a guy making his major league debut, in hostile territory, against one of the best pitchers in the game, and having had tons of success in it, you make sure he has a chance to win it. Period.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ May 22, 2005 -> 06:41 PM) As a matter of fact lots of us all are not at all alright with it. Sad that the President was, and sad that so many still are. As for your wondering whether starting a war in Iraq based on false premises and printing an incendiary story are different... uhm, yeah, they are. Yeah you are right about that... at least the government had more than one source.

Happy Birthday to two of our favorite Star Wars and Barons junkies!!!

Anyone else think the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is going to kick ass? I also felt a lot better about War of the Worlds after seeing the extended previews during Star Wars.
