QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) LOL. Actually I think we may be making more out of it. Didn't we have a Lee attitude thread a month or two ago? And I know we discussed Jose and his power numbers and lower average. If the shoe fits . . . But let's give her kudos for not mentioning Frank. That's the writers first reflex for the past 15 years. Knocking Frank is so last year. :rolly He is on the cool list again, because he is Mr Anti-Roid. Now it is the selfish and the drug users who must burn

Glad to see that Slezak has been getting some writing tips from her collegue at the Sun Times on how to make something out of nothing.

QUOTE(valponick @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 12:37 PM) Thanks for the help, I don't knwo jack about public transportation. As far as the screenname, I did my undergrad at Valpo U and lived there for a total of about 7 years. I live on public transit. It is so much better most of the time. Like I said if you have anymore questions, post them here or send me a PM.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) Can you lie to me for free? Politicians always have the right answers.

QUOTE(valponick @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 12:11 PM) Can I just catch the South Shore in Hammond? I'm from Whiting. Yes you can, sorry with the screen name I just assumed that was were you were. This is the NICTD mapquest of the Hammond train station http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?zoom=...in=31&longsec=0 This is the site that has CTA info, the red line is the one you will want. http://www.transitchicago.com/maps/rail/rail.html Both sites have all of the fare info and train schedules. I ride the south shore everyday to and from work, if you have anymore questions let me know.

QUOTE(valponick @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 12:06 PM) I have tickets for tomorrows game but had some car trouble today. I was wondering if there were any people from Northwest Indiana who knew which train (if any) I could take to the ballpark. Thanks. You'd have to take two actually, and that is only if you can get someone to take you to the south shore line in Chesterton. You would take the South Shore all of the way to downtown, and then walk over to the red line and take the red line down to the ballpark. http://www.nictd.com has the train schedules.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) Powell is only like 6'5 and even so still shot about 39% from 3pt so I dont think using Powell as an example of a "big man" shooting is accurate More like if Augustine was hitting 3's... but Powell is capeable of shooting and making the 3pointer You are quoting the wrong guy about Powell. I didn't mention anyone specifically.

Its too early to panic with high round picks. Give them until around the first of May at least.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) When guys like even Roger Powell could step out and shoot a 3, yes it is too easy. That's pretty much how I feel about it. Your typical big guy should not be able to step out and hit 3's. 19'9" is too close. I would rather see them go to the international line of 21'6".

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 10:43 AM) I may have 2 extras for an April/May game from Soxfest if I don't make it up there again after this Thursday. Hopefully I will be able to make it up again, but I dunno if I will. If not, I'll send those to ya 2K. Cool, let me know. Those are exactly what I am using to take the fam's to a game. I think we are going to one of the weekend Orioles games in May.

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 09:34 AM) Is it possible for Frank to hit one on top of the Fundamentals deck.... cause that would cool. Joe Borchard could do it!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 08:59 AM) Over there the longer you wait to pay off your SL's, do you have to pay more in interest? That's pretty much the case down here, hence the incentive to make payments now, getting discounts, and wiping out the debt quicker. Yeah interest accrews, but it is much less than credit card debt%'s, car loan %'s etc, so that is the lowest of the priorities because it is costing us the least.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) Some times things have a funny way of hitting home. I, not 15 minutes ago, found out that my father has prostate cancer. Reading that article, and the odds that Cowley faced, kind of helped me put things into the proper perspective. for your whole family YAS

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 08:44 AM) fundamentals looked complete... i went up there.. it's a nice view of the field... you can't get up there without a child...I had my one year old in a backpack and it was cool.... I looked around for mreye... red blazer with a black luggage top???? I didn't see the bag set though and just kept walking.. it was about 1:40 and I just wanted to get into the game... gotta love bringing a one year old when MB is pitching... hour 51 thank-you.... He was there, I can vouch for him!

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 08:48 AM) For us it is paying off things for the wedding as well as our credit cards (one a piece) and my student loan (his car too). I am so sick of paying on my SL - it seems like they will never be paid off. We each owe over $30k on our SLs. You don't have to tell us anything about that We consolidated the rest of our debts and are paying on that.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 08:30 AM) Just mailed my last car payment. Here's hoping it doesn't die on me now lol. We have 3 more plus a little bit left over to pay off our other car. Then we go house shopping.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 4, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) All that matters is I came back from the dead to beat southsider. /door slams in background I can't believe you beat me by a point. THIS GAME f***ING CHEATS!!!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 08:26 AM) That is great news. I've always liked Joe. I have too. He is one of the few good writers who can write an negative article and be able to back it up, both with his writing, and with his facts.

Anything more than pictures of these guys?

Congrats to you guys. I speak from experience when I say that you will remember this season for the rest of your lives even with the title game loss. This was a special season, and even though it hurts now, time will smile upon this team more than you will ever know.
