Just so you know Scott - winning all four against detroit would increase our lead to three games and would clinch at least a tie for the AL Central.

Baseball is starting to make my head hurt.

I'm contemplating making a career change - and a major concern involves the price of oil.

I think they're all dumb. All of this pales into comparison to the 1 million person (police estimate) anti-war protest in March of 2003 in New York City. Back when it made sense to say "we shouldn't be there."

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) And my response is they don't have absolute power. They THINK they do, which is part of the problem. Oh, by the way, Democrats aren't exactly exempt from this, but suspiciously absent from this report. I wonder why? Because Republicans have control over the legislative, executive and by that control - the judiciary as well. So Democrats have to work extra hard at being as corrupt as leaders of our organization? And we all know liberals are lazy and just expect handouts. They never said anything about working for them. Self-explanatory I thought.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) 2 wins clinches a playoff spot, we can't clinch the division without a Cleveland loss. The best we could do if Cleveland wins all 3, is clinch a tie. 2 wins clinches a tie for a playoff spot. 3 wins clinches at least the Wild Card.

A sweep of Detoilet means a guaranteed share of the lead after 162 games. Tampa Bay plays Cleveland three games next week. Tampa Bay has the edge in the series so far, 4-3. Motivation for TB - running the table gives them a shot at a franchise best record.

I told you hanging out with radicals like Nuke, Evil, Jim, and myself would earn you a FBI file and labeled an enemy of the administration. Actually, they thought someone had broken into my apartment. They had reports that a person with a black cape climbed up on my balcony... There was nobody there.

I have a second job.

Cops were pounding on my door at 3 AM last night.

If you were me, what would you do?

I wouldn't necessarily confuse the issue here between a private school and the boy scouts. The Boy Scouts do enjoy special privileges and guarantees conferred on them by the government.

I think its right and wrong. It's wrong to deny someone a private education based on what their parents have done in a manner completely unrelated to their education. But it's their right. And even if you think its a sin, Christians are still supposed to turn the other cheek.

Actually, I want to replace Ozzie. And I think I'm qualified. I haven't lost a single game managing in the bigs.

A loss by Boston requires our number to be 96. Two losses to be 95. And three losses and we just have to be better than Boston.

My predictions are only good from the moment the game ends until the first pitch of the next game. Thank you.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) Well, maybe if there was any sense of urgency 2 months ago, it would have never got to this point. I know a lot of us used the phrase "taking their foot off of the accelerator". This Sox team isn't good enough to just have no focus and win games. The offensive fire power isn't strong enough. I love Ozzie. He makes me laugh. But he's not a good manager. A good metaphor for this season would be the first game he ever managed in the bigs. Also against Kansas City. We played eight great innings. And then in the ninth, we lost focus. And we lost the game. He did it in his first game. And he did it this whole season. And if he can't learn in two years, he shouldn't keep his job.

Boston can only win 98 games. If they do that. They win the division. If they do that New York can only win 96 games. New York can only win 99 games. If they do that, Boston can only win 95. Only one of those two teams can win more than 97 games. The White Sox have 92 wins. Five more wins guarantees them at least a one game playoff.

Here's my prediction. The White Sox won't score another run until tomorrow's game.

I agree. Get to the playoffs first. Then win the Central. If we have the wildcard berth locked up going into Cleveland, we might actually play better. Postseason matters most.

The other day I was talking to George Bush and I really wanted to ask him some tough questions. I looked him in the eye and said "Mr. President. I'd really like to you. What's your position on Roe v. Wade?" He looked me in the eye and said, "Whichever way they need to get out of New Orleans is just fine with me."

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 02:20 PM) My $.02: I never understand why any gay people want anything to do with christianity. If a group says your lifestyle is immoral, that you're going to hell, etc-- then why the hell would you want anything to do with them? I completely agree that the school has the right to expel the girl. Not happy about it, but it is a private christian school, and christians don't agree with homosexuality. Therefore, they can prevent her from attending IMHO. I honestly think the parents were naive and dumb for sending their kid there, and the kid is who will ultimately suffer the most for it. You usually grow up the religion you are before you realize your sexuality. Many people see past their sexuality and don't think it to be a "defining" characteristic of themselves or their intrinsic value in the eyes of the Lord.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 12:12 PM) Sorry Mike.. but a CC Membership or entrance to the Boy Scouts, IMO, doesn't even come close to being a justifiable comparison. The Boy Scouts of America enjoy special rights and privileges including a Congressional Charter bestowed upon it by the Federal Government. A Christian school does not. A Christian School can kick out whoever they want, for whatever reason they want. But they ought to be ridiculed for being ridiculous. "Hate the sinner. Make the sin." Nice.
