QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 09:40 AM) Yep, it's a bargain, when you look at what FA pitchers got on the market last winter. That can't be said enough. Even if Reed, Olivo, and Morse end up being good players, Freddy Garcia would have cost a kings ranson in the off-season, and we got a steal when you include the $9 mil/yr contract. You just don't find pitchers like him that cheap.

A lot of decesions coming down today... -The court refused to intervene in the reporters leak case, with their refusal to testify in a grand jury setting. -The Supreme Court also Monday overturned a ruling that required cable operators to open up their high-speed Internet lines to rivals.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 08:46 AM) Depending on your lifestyle, you may or may not need one. Everyone I know that lives in the city has a car. And again.. just because you live in the city doesn't mean you work there. Several of our IT guys live down there. FWIU there is not a big IT market in Downtown Chicago. Yeah I live in Indiana and commute to downtown everyday. The rents are WAY cheaper in the burbs, the farther you are willing to commute, the cheaper it is.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Jun 26, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) el conde and el duque are just not getting it done anymore; they've fallen back to Earth after amazing starts. For all we know, Garland will do the same before too long; I'm certainly hoping he won't, but let's assume worst-case scenario. We need 3-4 aces to both lock up the division and go deep into the playoffs. Buerhle and Garcia are passable in that role; Garland might be, but let's not count on him just We need Schmidt, badly. This from a guy with a screenname from a mediocre middle reliever...

Wow we have had no luck at all this game. Two balls have been hit to the wall, and then that deflection RIGHT to the second baseman.

Imagine that... listen to the hitting coach and good things happen.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jun 26, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) For those who know law: Would it be possible for a local government to commit itself to not seize land by eminent domain, for example, by entering into a contract with a developer stipulating that for the next 100 years the government would not exercise its power to seize the land? Or would this be just another property right, no more sacred than the basic recognition of land ownership, that the local officials could break according to the same rules by which they seize property? Just an interesting question, in theory. If I understand this correctly, it is the local government that has to declare eminent domain. I don't think a business can do it on their own.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 26, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) you could have 100 physcologists in a room and none of them would be able to figure you out. It would be easy. Attention needing troll.

Backgammon is my family game. Everytime my dads side of the family has a gathering the board is out and we all play until we lose. I have been playing since I was like 4 or 5 I think. I played every once in a while on Yahoo, but didn't care to much for the people playing...

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 06:15 PM) We'd be in more trouble tomorrow if it were a close game and Cotts came out rusty from not having worked in 6 days that we are after him having worked an inning today. Which if we have learned ANYTHING about Neal Cotts in 2005, it is that he doesn't pitch well on long rest. He was awful when he wasn't getting used regularly early in the season.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) After getting dominated the way they did yesterday, loook for the Cubs to step it up today. The Sox better be agressive early and match their intensity. Need to hit Maddux early, if he goes into the 4th unscathed, we're in trouble. If they didn't step it up yesterday after the embarassing loss with Milwaukee, I don't know what they have in them. Basically if the Sox can shut down Lee, they can win.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) I am watching a a replay of the Cubs broadcast and Brenley was saying he was watching Sox film with Maddux before the game and Maddux noticed something that occured with almost every Sox hitter that he would take advantage of. Hmm... Spitballs

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 06:08 PM) I hate to keep pointing this out, but if you ignore May, Joe Crede is having a fine year. He had 1 terrible month. If it weren't for May, he'd be a .300 hitter right now. He's still swinging and missing too much right now, but he's not flying open like he was in May; he's keeping his head down and driving the ball, which is exactly what he should be doing. If we can figure out a way to cut donw on his strikeouts, he could turn himself into an All star pretty quick. With all of the preconcieved notions about Crede, you will have to keep repeating it.

Good luck with the site dude. There is always a use for more good Sox content on the web. If you want me to add it to the links on the PTC blog, I will, just let me know.

Happy Birthday LMB

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 06:13 PM) Actually, Walmart's prices as a whole really aren't that low at all. So basically Wal Mart is driving small business out because consumers aren't that smart? Makes sense to me.

We'll get you hooked up. PM me and we can talk about what you are looking for.

Great inning by Freddy.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) The purpose of beaning him isnt to hurt him, it's to throw him off. Exactly. You knock him down in the first inning, he doesn't dig in nearly as deep,and might become suseptable to the pitch on the outer half.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) Nah, elbow. It'll sting more. I don't see anything wrong with a purpose pitch in baseball. If you want to hit someone, don't hurt them. I wouldn't want to see Lee miss time because one of our guys injured him. I guess I am a purist when it comes to that kind of stuff.
