QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) Who lied to you? The day the it was decided that the fans would choose the starters was the day that the All-Star game became a popularity contest based on name recognition. The fans don't choose the pitchers.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) i truly believe that if cliff politte was a freaking brewer, none of us would care if he made the all-star team. and you know why? because he's a freaking middle reliever!!!! this is the ALL-STAR GAME. it's like putting a guy on the team because he's really, really good at sacrificing runners over. no one goes to games to see craig counsell move guys over, and no one goes to games to watch cliff politte pitch the 8th inning. let's move on. is cliff politte really good at what he does? f*** yeah. but he's not an all-star. Funny I always though the All-Star game was for the guys who did the best jobs at their respective positions.

QUOTE(LauraJ14 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 01:18 PM) Am I breaking some type of copyright laws if I videotaped the into on my camcorder? If you use it for your own personal usage, no. If you give it to other people, you would technically be in violation of copyright laws (think filesharing) and if you tried to sell it other people you could get into a bunch more troubles. Now is any of that going to happen? Probably not, but that is what the law is.

Here is my take on the Schmidt thing. If it is out in the media, it is the San Francisco side trying to drum up interest and start a bidding war. IF Kenny is involved, you know he is not saying anything about it. My take is this is a smokescreen by SF, and there isn't really anything going on from our side, except maybe a cursory phonecall, and nothing more... there is just too much attention being put on this to be KW's style.

People like this don't deserve to walk the earth.

QUOTE(ZeroHour @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 12:05 PM) ill pay a nominal fee to get my copy of that movie. From the reply from Brooks, it doesn't sound like that is going to be possible.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 11:59 AM) Jason Schmidt Contract: '05: $8.75 /2 = $4.375 '06: $10.0 option Edgardo Alfonso: '05: $6.5 /2 = $3.25 '06: $7.0 Combined: '05: $15.25 /2 = $7.625 '06: $17.0 Total Salary taking on = $24.625 -------------------------------- Is that really affordable? For what I am looking at for potential payroll for 2006 (based both on historical increases vs attendance and a continued uptrend in attendance), we would basically be spending all of our money if we brought back both Thomas and Konerko for 2005 as something close to what they are making in 2005

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 12:25 AM) What do you guys think? I know I need some text but I can't think of what to put. Any input is greatly appreciated. "The Arms Race" or something like that?

The closest thing I am to an NBA fan is a bandwagon Bulls fan... other than that I could care less. For me its baseball, then hockey, then meh whatever.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) When is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory supposed to come out, I can't wait for that because the one with Gene Wilder is one of my favorite movies. Middle of July.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 05:15 PM) Ok let's see here. Payroll goes up each season about 8 to 10 mill (Steff and Mike know more about this than I do). Based on the way attendence is going up, we could see an $85 million payroll pretty easily next year. If we end up drawing somewhere around 30K a night by the end of the season along with a solid post season preformance, the payroll could concievably push $100 million, IMO.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) http://blog.dccc.org/mt/archives/003059.html Davis, whose panel also oversees District of Columbia issues, said that if a Soros sale went through, "I don't think it's the Nats that get hurt. I think it's Major League Baseball that gets hurt. They enjoy all sorts of exemptions" from anti-trust laws. That is the only paragraph that matters in here. Its the only reason baseball got off of their collective asses about drug testing... they were afraid if Congress got involved they could lose their antitrust exemptions, which right now are causing more harm than good IMO.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 11:02 AM) Jim and I are going on a hot air balloon ride Saturday afternoon. Anyone been on one..? Like it, hate it..? I'm looking forward to it.. Jim not so much. Just don't tell people where at... you'll have people down there shooting holes into it Seriously, have fun and wave at us!!!

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 11:06 AM) God, I wanted to puke after seeing that. I'll probably feel the same after Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This version of Charlie is supposed to be MUCH closer to the authors original intent. It was supposed to be a much more dark film, and not nearly as cutesy at they made it into. I am really looking forward to that as well. Just from the previews Depp seems like a solid Wonka.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 11:09 AM) Seriously? I will nut in my pants if you are telling the truth. Would there be a better rotation in baseball than this? Mark Buehrle Jason Schmidt Freddy Garcia Jon Garland Jose Contreras Prior Wood Maddux Zambrano Mitre

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 03:17 AM) Anyone else realize anthrax disappeared since he can't complain about kenny anymore If you think back... there are quite a few who have disappeared, and seem to reappear only when the Sox lose...

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) The newest Gammons article says that the Blue Jays turned down Ryan Howard for Lilly. So Id say Lilly is out of the question at those prices. SB That is very interesting. I wonder if the Phillies would be interested in El Duque for Howard? Howard could be a great pick up for next year and beyond for the Sox.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) Suffer? Wow. The original is very compelling. Especially when you consider how far ahead of its time it was. It is easy to pass judgement on a movie like that today, but that was literally leapyears past any sci-fi people had every seen or heard back them. The movie was groundbreaking stuff. It was the Star Wars of its generation.
