are you in the city? There is a great uniform place down 35th street from the ballpark. It is west of the park about 5 or 6 blocks, if not I think they have an internet site, but I would have to look it up.

I will help if needed. Just tell me when and where, I will drop anything and everything!!!!!

He also had really good movement on his pitches. Almost too much at times. To me it looks like the rest did him some good.

you people need to stop fantasizing and pretending youre in the know, and just be a fan. K? So are you going to back off and eat crow if it happens?

I voted for the 2 slot, but the thing that scares me is either his inability, or just neglegence for hitting the ball the other way with runners on.

lol! that tells you something when he has to pitch that well to get DOWN To a 9 era!

Its not my man, its not. Ive been saying this s*** for years. I just got sick of saying the same s*** over and over and over..... Konerko is coming around, book it. On the next homestand he is going to go on an HR binge. His approach is looking good at the plate. Heck the ball he hit in the 9th is 5 rows deep at Comiskey.

Seems like? I hate to say it, but Frank is a shadow of his former self, ala Harold Baines of his last year.

Followed by Kenny throwing his desk over yelling "b****es" at Lumbergh, and then sets the whole place on fire, while grabbing his swingline stapler on the way out. [hows that for combining story lines]

Interesting theory, I hadn't thought of it that way. I wonder if HSC can shine a little light on this.

Like I said in a different thread, I wish this was somewhere that more people would see it such as the Trib.

Heck I'd wear a mike for a lot less than that, granted if it was at one of these games lately, they'd only be able to put about every 5th word or so on the air...

This is on Soriano, sound familiar? I wonder if we can go after Willie Randolph if Jerry gets canned?

Sad but true *sigh*

Well at least we know who is NOT the b****...

Sounds like Beane suckered Williams again!

And just to balance this thread out, I will say that White Sox fans also are on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to recognizing and giving props for good plays too. We applaud when a hitter hits the ball the other way with a runner on second and less than two outs. We applaud good defense. The OF's get standing O's after coming out to the field when they do something good at the plate. Pitchers get standing O's coming off of the field after pitching well almost every inning they do something good.

This is a little old, but it makes the point. Almost six weeks into the season, the White Sox are scuffling to score runs. One of the most amazing numbers on their stat sheet is this: Frank Thomas is hitting .183 against right-handed pitching, with more strikeouts (15) and walks (17) than hits (13). "His bat is so slow now," said one AL scout, "that he can't hit a good inside fastball if you tell him it's coming. He just can't handle that inside gas. The only balls he hits are breaking balls or, if he really cheats, some fastballs away. But that's it."

Wow. I could almost see this if we were talking about college kids, but who thinks that they can get away with this kind of stuff?

Your grades on Gordon, Koch, Konerko and Thomas are too high. I see a lot of D's for that bunch.

A man who jokingly offered his five-year-old son for sale on the Internet has had to explain himself to police after a complaint from a concerned web surfer. Police officers visited Alex Wilson at his Scottish home after being alerted by a Canadian woman who spotted the offer on a Web Site selling bicycles and prams, the Times newspaper reported on Friday. 'Hyperactive kid for sale, good at vacuuming, not great at washing dishes because he's too short,' the ad read. 'Guaranteed to annoy. Five pounds ($8) or nearest offer.' Wilson, 33, of Carrickstone, placed the ad as a joke about two years ago to tease his son Liam, now aged seven. He then forgot all about it until he heard from the police, the Times said. 'The police officer was quite jokey at the end of the conversation, but said I'd have to remove the advert,' Wilson told the newspaper.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...ife_adults_dc_1 Most Americans believe someone isn't grown up until age 26, probably with a completed education, a full-time job, a family to support and financial independence, a survey said on Thursday. But they also believe that becoming an official grown-up is a process that takes five years from about the age of 20, concluded the report from the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center. The findings were based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over age 18 surveyed in person in 2002. It had an error margin of plus or minus 3 percent. The poll found the following ages at which people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed: Age 20.9 self-supporting; 21.1 no longer living with parents; 21.2 full-time job; 22.3 education complete; 24.5 being able to support a family financially; 25.7 married; and 26.2 having a child. 'There is a large degree of consensus across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,' said Tom Smith, director of the survey. 'The only notable pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having a child and getting married. 'Older adults and the widowed and married rate these as more important than younger adults and the never-married do,' he added. 'This probably reflects in large part a shift in values across generations away from traditional family values.' The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, was completing an education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently of parents, marriage and parenthood.
