QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Mar 18, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) Speaking of Opening day SS2k5....I don't want to hijack this one...but where is the usually opening day pre game thread?? Are most people going to be in the same parking lot...Somebody needs a big soxtalk flag or something that we can see If you take go to the entrance at the Bullpen Sports Bar and turn 180 and follow the fence all of the way to 37th street, that corner is usually where we meet. I am sure there will be a tailgate thread soon enough with more details. Any who are interested are welcome.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 18, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) This about one person who is brain IMPAIRED being denied an opportunity for a better life in a cyborg future. Big difference. She's not brain dead. Brain dead people suffer deterioration of the organs. That's not Terri. If at any time in my life I was in Terri's situation I would want my Mom & Dad to make the decision to end my life over my spouse. I trust them more. That's just the reality of the world we live in. Wow, you have got real problems if the person you are married to, you can't trust to decide whether to keep you on life support or not.

Oklahoma St 63 SELA 50 final score.

Iowa St beats Minnesota 64-53. The Big (11)10 is 1-2 so far with Mich St and Wisconson left to play.

Nc St 75 Charlotte 63 for final score as the Wolfpacks puts up a big 2nd half rally for the W.

final score 67-62 Gators. Bobcats didn't have anything in the tank for the final minute of play.

This just got even more interesting. A judge has said that the feeding tube can come out, DESPITE what Congress has said. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050318/D88TICO00.html

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 18, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) Witty retorts, lesson 1: Grammatical errors diminish the "sting" of an attempted witty retort. The retort ( and by extension, the "retorter" ) seem less witty if they are unable to use proper phrases and terms. Students, this WILL be on the final exam..... If I didn't leave you some opennings it wouldn't be fair now would it

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 18, 2005 -> 12:08 PM) OK, this is too f***ing much. Congress subpoenas Terri Schiavo to appear before them. The subpoena was delivered to the hospice. Since it is a crime (contempt of Congress) to interefere or harm anyone who has been subpoena'd to appear (apparently even someone in a persistent vegetative state), this will buy some time for the completely delusional and selfish parents of this poor woman to figure out what to do next. According to the prior court ruling. Michael Schiavo would have been allowed to pull the tube seven minutes ago, local time. The subpena scam has most likely put things on hold. Again. Yeah, that is a complete joke. Let the judicial system do its job. Congress doesn't seem to like it when the justices legislate, why do their job? Besides this issue and more specifically this case, has been around a long time, and I haven't seen Congress to swift to act on it. To get involved now is grandstanding, and nothing more.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 18, 2005 -> 10:38 AM) Check this out Beck, 2004: Bases Empty: 2.54 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, .239 BA Runners on: 9.98 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, .276 BA I can't recall seeing any other pitchers with stats like that. http://bigleaguers.yahoo.com/mlbpa/players/7043/situational The ERA part of that number is worthless. Of course guys are going to give up more runs with runners on. The solo HR is the only way someone can score with the bases empty. But I will agree that the WHIP and BAA are scary.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Mar 18, 2005 -> 10:30 AM) Thanks for the contract info. I think it would be hard for Ozzie to send both neal and jon back to AAA, even they both were going to be in the rotation. I can't see the Sox keeping Jon and sending neal and Walker back though, as the sox need another LHP in the 'pen. More than likely, Adkins will be in the AAA rotation, and Neal on the 25 man, w/ Walker in AAA. But walker and Neal are different pitchers. Walker is a junk ball guy who can throw strikes, and won't beat himself. Neal is sometimes is own worst enemy, by walking guys. No doubt about that. Control has always been Neals sticking point. He has got to work on getting a first pitch strike more than just about any pitcher on this team.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Mar 18, 2005 -> 10:07 AM) One thing about the Ozzie love--having Neal as the next SP option after B-Mac would only enhance that affection. If think if Walker shows he can pitch in tough situations like Cotts has, and go more than an inning at a time, Kevin would go north. Having multiple options for SP's in the minors ready in case of injury is a necessity. The sox didn't have that last yr. Ozzie won't let it happen this yr. My reasoning is I don't think Adkins is cut out to be a SP, even though he'll likely go to AAA and be a SP. Jon has had a few yrs as a SP that haven't gone too well BTW-Isn't Walker being paid a decent salary, even if he goes to AAA [like $500k]? I thought the salary might bump up to $750 K total if he made the sox. Contract details Oz has made overtures about wanted to use Neal as a starter later on. He seems intent to me on bringing him north as a starter through the comments he has made. It might be different if Neal were getting hammered, but he is holding his own so far.
