It was said that Gload was hurt a few days ago. Supposedly that is why they didn't go with Konerko at 3rd and Gload at first.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) Well considering they at least had a conservative government (not sure what happened, but they just had some sort of reformation of government) you'd think they wouldn't be too worried about debating what a communist was saying. I think their people are a little more important than that. Plus Burlesconi (sp) has been getting killed in the public opinion polls, and this was a big deal there. His government would have crumbled if he would have said it was their own fault. He HAS to say it was America's fault, or he is out of a job.

I'm a little older than lots of you guys, but the things I miss the most are my old heavy steel Tonka trucks, and my sit and spin.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 10:37 PM) didn't know daylight savings time was so important. thanks to them hoosier legislators, i will now take my dst more seriously... If it wasn't a big deal, it wouldn't have taken Indiana 100 years to catch up with the rest of the country. Laws and lack of laws like this are what makes Indiana the butt of jokes.

Did you expect the Italians to say, yeah, it was our bad, speeding through an American roadblock was pretty stupid, wasn't it? That'll be the day.

QUOTE(Nokona @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 08:14 PM) Honestly, have you been in a classroom with us? My wife is a high school teacher who has taught everything from entry level bio, to hisotology/cytology, to AP bio, bio II, etc. I know what goes on in the classroom.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 05:33 PM) That's not what someone in this very thread just reported was said on the radio. They said Uribe was DL bound if he wasn't feeling better tomorrow. Trust me, I hope I'm wrong. Uribe's our most dangerous hitter. The Sox are the complete opposite of the Cubs when it comes to injury reports. We overexagerate, not under. The Sox are a cautious organization.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 05:28 PM) I said exactly what should be done.....release Timo! We have absolutely no need for him on the team. If we end up needing a RF to take over for Dye, then call up Anderson or Borchard. There are some middle infielders that can be claimed, including guys like R. Gutierrez. No one is particularly good, but much better than making Crede or Harris play SS. As much as we want it, Timo isn't going anywhere. Especially since we have no OFers ready to replace him after Uribe and Ozuna get healthy. Would you be bringing up Borchard or maybe Jeremy Giambi to replace Timo after that middle infielder got sent out? That move doesn't make any sense in the context of the season.

QUOTE(silver and black @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) no, she is not. not at our school, they lag on this s***. on april 20th some kids were wearing "88" shirts(88 means hail hitler)and they teachers did nothing about that... the school is split in two because of this issue...students want to wear the buttons, faculty doesnt...and the girl who started this even went to the newspaper to get this heated up... And the last line said it all. The students made it a big deal. Would it have been a big deal if the girl hadn't run to the newspapers or got everyone else all riled up? The 88 reference might not be known by your teachers. Most teachers aren't up on the lasest slang and terms.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 05:13 PM) I'm sorry, but Harris starting at SS tonight is bulls***. To play at least two MLB games with guys who have never played there before it absolutely inexcusable. I know KW would rather starve his own kids, but it's time we release Timo and call up another middle infielder. With Harris being able to play in the outfield (poorly, but still much better than he plays SS), there's no use for Timo. So what would your remedy be? We have no other major league ready calibur SSs on the 40 man roster, so in order to get someone else up here, we would have to expose one of our current roster members to waivers, just to get a guy up for for what will most likely only be a game or two at most. Is it worth risking a prospect for one or two games? The only other guy we have is Pedro Lopez who is just turned 21, and has never seen a major league pitch. He is also a guy who looked overmatched and extremely raw just a month ago in Arizona. It is easy to say KW should do something, but it isn't as easy as it sounds.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) It probably would have been less of a distraction had the school not made such a big fuss about it... Schools send kids home for dress code violations everyday. Skirts too short, obscene messages on clothes, etc... this is pretty common. It wasn't a big deal until the kids made it an issue.

It closed below $50 for the first time in a while, selling off hard during the last half hour of trading. It is a real good technical sign as it broke a key support level at $50 and closed on its lows. The next support levels look like about $45, but that could be pessimistic. There has been a lot of talk of over supplies from the OPEC countries, so if this is true, the price of crude could potentially crash.

FWIW, I'll try to get on here this weekend and make the adds/changes.

We were in Babies R Us over the weekend shopping for a shower gift. One of the songs we heard while in there was "PYT" by Michael Jackson... knowing what I know now, that song is f***ing disgusting. :puke

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) One is simply a personal statement about herself. Personally, I wouldn't have a prob with the abortion t-shirt and I'm pro-choice. You might not have a problem with it, but that isn't the issue. The problem is that they cause distractions. They detract from the learning process.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) Detroit is playing .500., that makes you 'not good'?........I assume you mean it won't last. Definately. And to be honest, being .500 in the AL Central isn't the same as being .500 in the West or East.

The one thing I would definately disagree with is that the Twins were supposed to be better. They lost their starting left side of the infield, along with some of their OF depth. They also have had some injury problems, and signed no one in the off season. And I don't see any big improvement in the Tigers or the Indians yet. The Tigers starting pitching still sucksand hasn't stepped up. Their bullpen even with Farns and Percival, has been shakey. Their offense will always struggle for consistancy in Comerica, and also depends on Rodriguez, Ordonez, and Guillen who also have big injury histories. The Indians bullpen is still terrible and is relying upon two guys with terrible injury histories to pitch the 8th and 9th. Their offense is full of guys who had career years last year, and are off to slow starts. They also lost the heart and sole of their team in Omar Vizquel. The starting pitching hasn't lived up to its billing yet, but does have CC coming back soon.

QUOTE(gsoxs1 @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) Aren't we suppose to beat up on the bad teams? Why is that such a negative. A ggod team should and the Sox will beat up on the bad teams. Its a negative because that means we still have games left against good teams.

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 12:55 PM) which is the main problem I have with this...I know I cannot go to that many games so I really can't call out other people who do the same Especially since we all know what drives attendance. If we win, it goes up. If we suck, it goes down. It is that simple.

Don't forget to make your picks to clicks and YNOTs!!!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) I think the AL Central overall is gonna surprise a lot of people this year. I think people just repeat what they hear and read and that's all we've heard and read the past 3 years. IMO, the West is weaker than last few years, the East is weaker that the past few years. The central is better than the past few years. I wouldn't say Detroit and Cleveland suck.....not just yet. Personally I am not repeating anything. I sat and watched almost every inning of all of the games we have played this year. Those two teams might be better, but they are definately not good teams IMO.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) 4 out of the 6 teams we played are .500 or over. I'd say we've played one weak team. Dispite what the records say, Oakland and Minnesota are the only "good" teams we have played. Seattle I could accept as good, but they were also missing their best hitter at the time, and we ducked their best pitchers. Detroit, Cleveland, and KC just flat out suck.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) ..but maybe if parents didn't let it bother them, the thrill would be gone for the kids. Trust me, I have a whole different set of problems with parents... don't get me going there

QUOTE(Calderon's Crew @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) The ALCU is a joke. They spend more time on b.s. like this and nothing about real issues, Patriot Act etc. Any chance they could put a twins logo above the "I love my Vagina" shirt? Now that would be great
