There are so many crimes we can stop with a some expense and loss of our liberties. And someone please total up the damages that illegals have caused. The terrorist acts that this would solve, the cost to governments that having illegals instead of legals performing, the costs to our society. Then look at the possibilities in changes to our laws to match up people who need jobs with people who need them. Let's not swat mosquitoes with scud missles. Those who cross our borders without permission are law breakers. Do you suggest this nation not enforce its laws?

QUOTE(bmags @ May 1, 2006 -> 06:32 PM) you missed the point of the question... (anyway for them it was being free from what they felt was a sort of empirical rule.( I mean for all the people clamoring that they leave, and then they leave and teh economy suffers. Does anyone see that a possible parallel. it wasn't an opinion it was a question. Any loss in our economy will be balanced out by our lower car insurance rates.

QUOTE(joeynach @ May 5, 2006 -> 06:07 PM) I was in reference to Magglois Injury in 04 when he collided with Willie. Maggs was held out of the lineup for several days, but when came back everyone breathed a huge sigh of releif with just a calf or muscle strain. He continued to play for sometime before finally going down with the nagging problem being diagnosed a meniscus tear. Then when he came back for that 1 game in cleveland July 31 I think it was and re-strained the muscle he was done for the year. So far to me this whole situation mirrors something just like that same situation. An injury that should be minor, why has it been a months worth of bothering him. Now 5 str8 days out the lineup this weeks, sometime out of the lineup last week. All sounds a little fishy for a mere strain and nothing else. Are you thinking of Magglio's edema?

What's the story with Nelson? Is he recovering from injury?

I prefer the smaller, more loyal crowds. I prefer being able to get tickets day-of-game and not having to deal with fans unworthy of Sox fandom.

in swing handsomeness.

A stat printed in the Trib a few years ago said that if our nation's vehicles averaged 10% better gas mileage, we'd eliminate all dependency on all middle east oil. Thus, just raise CAFE standards 12% on new vehicles and problem solved.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 04:44 PM) Yes sir, and I'm surprised here....I thought everybody knew that. His version of "the aristocrats" joke is notorious as one of the if not the single dirtiest, and his comedy in general was disgusting before he ran for the green in the late 80's and early 90's on those 2 shows. In response to your signature, my milkshake is better than yours. I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

Kenny Williams could kick Chuck Norris's ASS.

I'm willing to give Anderson a little more time because of his defense, but how come he can't be good right away like Matt Murton. That guy doesn't swing at garbage and didn't need a learning curve.

Each man's hair looks good. I'm disappointed.

I'm not quick to overlook how this might change team relations. Hopefully Tad will be the bigger man and accept Freddy G's apology. However this situation turns out, I'm disappointed in Freddy's action and hope he regrets it.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 04:01 PM) Just another reason to love MB. Hopefully, there's no reason to think another Sox player will ever wear #56 at the rate he's going. Your signature is beautiful. Well, as beautiful as a Thome pic that doesn't show his bottom half can be.

Postgame report: Dusty Baker upset Mother Nature "quit" and didn't want to play a full game.

Frank Thomas came into 2006 with 448 career home runs; Jim Thome came in with 430. At the end of this season, who will have more career home runs, Thomas or Thome?

It kind of worries me that the Cubs will make the playoffs this year, partly because they're a good team and partly because the NL is weak. The Cubs could win their division with 86 wins, and I think they are good enough to win 86.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 02:25 PM) Well you guys can be happy with his .1 something batting average, but im not.. Those numbers could be even better if he was hitting Never questioned his glove though, nothing wrong there I've been critical of Crede's defense in the past, but he's been better in 2006. He still has a huge weakness of not being athletic enough to barehand balls on bunts and swinging bunts; he can't charge on a ball. This year he's already impressed me with his stops on hard hit balls (which I think has always been damn good). He gets a 10 in style points for plays like the one he made last week when he deflected a liner in the air with his glove, then made the barehand catch as the ball descended.

Jim Thome has such a solid foundation, it's no wonder he can mash majestically with ease. I am in love with his masculine, lumberjack bottom half from which he draws his power. The way he sets this lower half in motion with his sweet southpaw pivot, connects with the sweet spot of my heart.

Is anyone else still bothered by the pan-left camera angle that started in the middle of the 2005 season? IIRC, one Japanese advertiser wanted his billboad behind home plate fully shown, and Brooks Boyer bent over for him at the expense of us fans. This un-centered view is visually handicapping and distracts me from the game.
