QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 04:53 PM) So Gload has been unavailable for days, Ozuna could only pinch run. Uribe was not ready. Why wasn't someone called up last night? They played 3 short after an off day. That is absolutely crazy. After seeing Lopez in the spring, they wanted a miracle of someone getting better. It didn't happen.

QUOTE(Be Good @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 09:39 AM) Finally, the average for Reg in Long Island, NY is: 2.45 give or take We are at about $2.15 for no lead.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) The Bulls decided not to play defense today and are subsequently down big. They were in foul trouble early, and never recovered. They were embarassed.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) I think they will take the best player available whether it be Drew, Weaver, or whoever is there at number 15. You can bet the Sox will be "talking" to prospects to guage their signablilty before they ever draft anyone. They will be 90% sure of cost when they draft someone.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) A worse version of Wilson Valdez. The only thing he'll accomplish is making outs like it's his job. Hopefully he looks a little more relaxed than he did this spring. He was going at 90 mph the whole time, and was trying to do too much.

What kind of likes do you have? There are tons of things to do in Chicago. Navy Pier, Rush Street, Sears Tower, Hancock Building, and the Financial District are the main tourist things. But if you give us a few more specifics, we can point you all in the right direction.

QUOTE(SuperSteve @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) I have to imagine Konerko was never going to play 3B. As opposed to Chris Widger? Its 6 of one, half dozen of another at that point. PK has played third most recently, so it wouldn't have surprised me.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 01:04 PM) Someone in their marketing department has a sick sense of humor. Or is a Red Sox fan

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.
