Stranger things have happened than Joe Crede having a good year... Look at the first 5 years of Beltre's career in the majors, what about them said 48 hrs and 121 rbi? Nothing. http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/beltrad01.shtml

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:54 AM) Grrr... is anyone else having trouble posting..? It took like 4 minutes for my last post to show up... Not at all. Actually I was just talking to Kap, and Soxtalk has put up its two biggest single day hit counts in the last two days (560k, 600k), along with almost 4500 posts, and everything is running awesome on the server end.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) Yeah, I forgot about him, and Rosty. Maybe this isn't as much about bias, or maybe they are better at hiding it than I thought? Regardless, remove him from leadership positions, but let the voters in Texas decide on the Hammer. Plus, don't we need a guy named the Hammer in Washington? WHat else is he going to do? Kills bugs or join the WWF? Well we know he wouldn't have any Michael Jackson type problems because he knows U Can't Touch This

QUOTE(Gldfinger5 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) I'm going to Cubs opening day today. (My roommates are fans and offered an extra.) Anyone have anything they want me to yell at Carlos Lee from the Left field bleachers?? Cheer for Caballo, boo the Cubs

And when things get complicated in real life, just simplify things to the point where it is useless...

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 10:15 AM) US Cellular has a 20 year naming deal with the Sox. I'm sure they didn't fork over $60 million to go to Indianapolis. The Sox also extended their lease as a part of agreement to allow renovations.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) I don't like that as an argument. You can't give up 3 homers like that in one inning with a three run lead. Hell Ozzie should've pulled him after the second one. When the strike zone is the size of a pea, and the hitters are patient, it becomes a lot easier to look like batting practice pitcher.

If the umpires had anykind of a strike zone yesterday, no one would even be talking about Hermanson.

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 07:57 AM) I don't think it's disrespectful. If people that are there, using video cameras is disrepectful, then am I the same because I popped a tape into the VCR last night and recorded the funeral? BTW, LCR, I like your usage of "an" with "historic." Nobody does that anymore. I taped it also. I really want to see it because I have never seen anything like a Papal funeral in my lifetime. I have a curiousity of the traditions.

I like the way you guys think!!!

Boys, boys. First we kidnap him, and then we pistol whip him... Everyone wins

-Takatsu now has two career blown saves, both were against the Indians. -The major leagues' longest hitting streak—16 games-when Ross Gload struck out in his only plate appearance in relief of Paul Konerko. It was Gload's first at-bat of this season. -With his two first-inning RBIs Thursday, Konerko passed Guillen for 15th place in RBIs in White Sox history. They had been tied at 565. -Contreras, who pitched six strong innings Thursday, is 13-2 with a 2.86 ERA in 19 starts when he pitches at least six innings. And from Ozzie..."I told [Pierzynski] when you go out there [for Contreras], tell him to throw strikes. When he gets back to the dugout, I'll take care of the rest."

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 09:10 AM) You forgot one. Decapitating snowman and pouring ketchup all over the place and watching Benson Onejyi's kids cry like there's no tomorrow. Followed by: Pictures of one snowman before death in a convocation with the President of the college using it in a slideshow getting interrupted by "hey, I decapitated that f***ing snowman!" Who would have thought kids born in Nigeria would take a snowman so seriously? I wouldn't have had that teeory(sic)

Wow 4 hits and 4 errors for Bham. How did Bull look outside of the 3 run HR?

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) Jugg, jmho, but I think you should put down your stat horn until you have some concept of 'sample size' and 'significant difference'. Two words chi squared.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 01:41 AM) Personally, I'm not into the chatroom thing. Enjoy the threads more more. Me too. It is much easier to follow the replies and quotes to what is going on.

Luckily it was an early game, and most screamed themselves out early on. Let's focus on the Twins. The last thing we want to see is these guys get preoccupied with this loss and lose site of the big picture here.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 08:04 AM) I know JPII was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years, so I had to say that any African popes were not from recent memory. Even yours YAS? [/too easy]

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 08:03 AM) There have been Popes from Africa. Just saying. Actual black African popes? Or just European's who were living in Africa?
