Theres this old black and white baseball movie about a professor who creates a substance that avoids wood and puts it on baseballs and becomes a major league pitcher. Its a good movie if you can tolerate old movies, and its pretty funny. Does anybody know what movie I am talking about? (I have forgotten the title)

arent you a little concerned that there was so much uncertainty after he was put to death. Im not arguing in favor or against the death penalty but I think that if there can be enough debate (even if he is found guilty) of whether he is guilty or not, there is cause for alarm

pretty terrible story

its good he got away from radical environmentalism I dont like a zero-tolerance approach to the environment because in many cases the benefits of the research on the environments and the benefits environmental resources provide outweigh the costs (which obviously differ for each person) associated with the marginal environmental destruction

yup thats how the electoral college works, its all about getting strategic votes

QUOTE(Fingish @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:37 AM) it's interesting, but aren't these kind of stats kind of misleading? i'm assuming those numbers are just for 2005, then the #2 spot represents about 11% of an entire season. let's just assume 200 Innings Pitched for an average year, and the #2 spot stat is about 22 Innings worth of work. I don't know anyone who would draw any serious conclusions about a players performance from 22 innings of work. do you happen to have his career numbers by batting position? I dont think anyone is drawing serious conclusions, it just sort of stands out. I wonder what the league averages are by position. Obviously #1 and #2 hitters will have a higher average than #8 or #9 hitters

is that true? thats an interesting stat. Do you know what the other poisitons in the order hit off him?

Thats really bad. Carson's a great QB and seems to be a good guy. He had a lot of potential and I hope he makes a comeback.

Good cover, Im getting excited too

Its a very nice letter and Paulies a great guy. Its good to have him back. I am also excited about kennys moves and I am ready for the season to get underway!

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 12:14 PM) I honestly thought he was still playing for the Rays. Wasn't he playing there as recently as 2003? according to baseball-reference.com Chris played in 2005 with TB and got 16 hits. Hes only 33.

I was always a singelton fan on the field. I have no idea how he will be as a commentator but as a white sox radio listener, good luck to Chris!

Im not sure Gossage is doing a lot to help his chances of getting in in the future (even though they may be small) independent of whether he deserves to be in or not

phillies in third place? glad to see the sox in first (and konerko only behind pujols)

possible link to last years rankings i think this is the link to last years ratings but you need insider which i dont have

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Jan 10, 2006 -> 06:51 PM) Are you suprised that people think we are #1? Or are you suprised the entire country thinks we are #1? Because im not surprised one bit. You figure we add a powerful Lefty handed bat to our lineup (Thome), add a power arm to already a bolstered staff (Vazquez), and add arguably the best utility man in baseball (Mackowiak) to an already World Championship team... your damn right we are #1! Im surprised enough people across the country think we are number one to put us number 1. I definitely think we should be number 1. We've upgraded a world series championship team that is still hungry for more. Seems like the Yankees and Cardinals always dominate these polls

Im a little surprised people think we are number one, mets are a little high a #4

Did you see the football misery index? My favorite Quote:

good sale, but I have also gotten to the point where I have more sox stuff than ill ever know what to do with (all though its hard to get t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts much cheaper than that)

Good for Iguchi, this tournament was never that good of an idea because its always a high risk, low reward situation for a lot of the players

I am very happy Buerhle left, this tournament is not something to which we need to send our pitchers

so this trade is nothin but speculation? that article didnt say the trade was happening or close to happening

is this a rumor or a deal?

reading cub fans message boards only makes me hate cubs fans more, but Im happy to say that after winning last year and being in contention again this year, I really dont care about the cubs. i just hope we beat them and then go about our merry way

is boone actually starting? thats pathetic
