QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 07:18 AM) someone remind me what the magic # is after last night. as i sit in my cubicle i have been wondering. The first rule of magic number is: "Don't mention magic number." It's 9

70% and they've never been in the post season in back-to-back years.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 07:17 AM) Wow. Too bad Pat Robertson didn't say it, that way the rest of the networks could run it as their top story.

Yes, leave. Please.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) Ha! I win this divorce pool. Sorry MrEye. Link Yes, you do. Thanks for finding that. My wife told me last night and I meant to search for this thread today and forgot.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) That seems like a fair rule. It's not the same as an outfield play when the ball is in play. This is a "dead ball" situation. Interesting, I wonder if someone needed to look that one up. It is amazing what the umpires need to know. Exactly. The write makes an analogy that is not even close to being the same situation.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 09:00 AM) Love the optimism...lets do it! As do I. Great post, Tex!

QUOTE(downstairs @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 08:53 AM) Unless I am mistaken, the Cards did not clinch yet?? Their magic number is 1. You're mistaken. I thought the same thing, but checked this morning. http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/standings

Here's another

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 11:52 AM) Funny, your wife said the samething You sonofa...

QUOTE(YASNY @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 10:56 AM) Sounds like Marte needed his mommy. Yes. I don't think I've seen this in this thread, but I've always got the feeling that Marte thought he should be the closer. It seems like everytime he goes out we tries to blow people away, using it as an audition for Ozzie or even other team that may be interested. And now, all that pressure he's put on himself to be the closer has just gotten to him. Just a thought.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 10:48 AM) That's a Kong to Pierz to Hermanson double play D- :headshake

I go electric.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) I have 20 pounds of M&Ms in my cube. Must.not.open.any.of.the.bags... Praying for some will power. . . or in this case, won't power. Eat 'em. They're just tiny little M&Ms.

Amen!

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 09:21 AM) Ditto. I also try (when possible) to use the lane furthest from where people are standing/working to give them some space. [tangent] It is amazing how quickly the work is getting done on the tri-state. I figured it would be a typical construction site where the road is blocked off and nothing happens for several months (see route 83 north of Devon work done a couple years ago as an example). [/tangent] Oh, they're making up for it on 80/94 - 394. :puke

Oh, s***. Imagine if SS2K5 had known this all along!

QUOTE(JimH @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 07:09 AM) More on the story from the Southtown: http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/ds.../pro/141sd1.htm 1. Neck and trapezius injury, which he's been struggling with all year 2. Injury forces a change in mechanics and confidence issues 3. Mental frustration leads to more ineffective pitching and not getting to the ballpark on time makes things worse Wow!

That's awesome!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 07:11 AM) It's called cheer leading, and has some value. It picks up the spirits of some people, it makes the nation feel, at least vicariously, that we are really helping, and spotlights what the real volunteers are doing. If not for Mrs. Bush, no one would have bothered to send cameras to that soup kitchen. Now even better would have been the Bush babes, hurricanes in hand, riding the storm out atop one of the hotels. Now that's a photo op. ^^ That^^ Now, if she doesn't go down there in order to prevent people from having to wait longer because of security concerns would people understand? Or would they be on her ass for not showing up?

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 08:23 AM) The real question is why did Ozzie mismanage the bullpen to allow this scenario.

Damnit! I missed all the fun again! :banghead

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 05:47 AM) The same news report I saw last night that mentioned this also mentioned that Toyota was recalling over 1 million Tacoma trucks for a serious defect that could lead to the front wheels disconnecting from the steering system. How come you didn't mention this one also? Could it be because Toyota isn't an American comapny? I think you might be reaching a little there, evil.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 06:09 AM) Oops! You are right, my post should have read that they are on pace to average OVER 25,000 for the first time in a decade. Well, next time think before you post!
