QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 10, 2007 -> 11:34 PM) Either way, it's terrible. What got me was the Sweentney part. Ok, its baseball, Mike Sweeney can happen, but Mike Sweentney? Come on.... They are confusing him with a 300 pound 7 foot black guy from the Bulls, easy mistake.

I look at it like this. A couple of beers after a sporting event help to build the comradarie that it takes to be a winner. I think it helps a team to bond and tolerate each other for the balance of the schedule. They all can afford cabs and limos. Pure ignorance gets them in trouble. Banning this is pointless and irrelevant and I like the fact that Guillen took the stance that these are men that should be able to handle themselves. I enjoy softball because I enjoy the cocktails afterward and talking about how bad we are. Without alcohol there would not be the line, "Play some f***ing Journey" and hence maybe not the belief associated with it and Steve Perry gracing the credenza (sp) of a World Series parade.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ May 10, 2007 -> 04:44 PM) My guess is Sayid and Charlie get the boot this season. Charlie offers nothing to anyone except s***ty music--also, if he goes, will Desmond see the future for other characters? I think Sayid offers a lot to the group, but the show wants some shock value. In the grand scheme of things, Sayid really has no ties to the island. So he probably serves no purpose to revealing the answers of the show. Although, neither does Kate. (Kate would be the first person I'd get rid of.) That's just my take of it. And if Ben and the Others killed off Dharma, why did Desmond and his partner make it? And why were food supplies still getting shipped in? Are the Others posing as Dharma? Is that why they keep bringing in new recruits, etc? I believe Desmond and his partner (interigated Sayid in Iraq and Kate's original father I believe) were not part of Dharma. I also believe that the Others were not aware of the Swan station. That situation confuses me some. Mikhail communicated with the outside world and I believe the Others purported to be Dharma and continued to get the supply drops. The scientific and advanced lifestyle of the Others as they transferred from the Hostiles confuses me as well.

Post game callers are morons. There is a guy trying to make the point that Guillen says Terraro is better than Sweeney. Get a clue.

QUOTE(bad at best @ May 10, 2007 -> 02:35 PM) we needed that series. got it. shoulda, coulda, woulda been a sweep though. Should've lost Sunday.

I did zero work until the start of the bottom of the 9th when I got a phone call which lasted until the game was over. Our starters have given up 4 runs I believe to the Twins in 5 starts...

At some point the middle of this order needs to do something. They are 3-16...well I guess that is just about their combined average.

The way these guys go I see a blooper to score two..... Great to be wrong Nice job Let's get a couple more.

Need to get Punto here.

Well when he took Vazquez out it was Guillen's fault..........at 78 pitches, now what??????? Rodriguez was hitting .169

QUOTE(maggliopipe @ May 10, 2007 -> 01:48 PM) It's great to see Jose with his ERA currently down to 4.10 after the horrific start to the season. If he can get a couple more nice innings here and get it under 4, Danks (4.33) would be the only starter with an ERA north of 4. 3.99 with 75 pitches through 7. We miss Meche this weekend as well. 3-7 in the line-up are 2-12 with an RBI and Run, walk and HBB

This is simply scary right now.

Gameday for cubs, Bay doubles on pop up to DeRosa.........2 runs score.

McCarthy out pitching Wang at the stadium. Singleton is doing a-lot of PBP. Ed must get the day game off after the night. Singleton is making everything sound exciting kind of like Rooney used to do although he hangs it out there to long. Kind of like a simple 5 hopper to Valentin. Never know how it is going to end. Big Z seems to struggle early on in the game and then has settled down. He and Dye do not understand the concept of the contract year ramifications.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 10, 2007 -> 01:32 PM) We just kept grabbing guys off the scrap heap. Like Cory Snyder. Ugh. 96 pitch AB for JD. Worked sometimes, Dye, Ellis Burks, Julio Franco, Erstad (thus far)

Nice job throwing around the "hit"

Gardenhire trying to fire his team up. First pitch, inning over 3-0 Sox.

Are there actually fans there? On the radio it sounds like the place is going nuts.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 10, 2007 -> 01:13 PM) Looking at the top of the Gameday scoreboard it looks like the Dodger/Marlin game is a good one. No score in the bottom of the 9th with runners on. Willingham 3 run shot to end it. Uribe with a shot, nice. Didn't the coach go out to talk to Silvia when he hit Mack or was that the Sox trainer......

How could you not leave him in left until Pods comes back?

If Sweeney drives him in, he should not go down on Monday.

Singleton believes he hit Mack accidentally......1-2 on a .186 hitter, ya think Iguchi should bunt.

With how slow he looks in RF Dye may be looking at a DH career. Trade him to the Angels for Figgins and one of those good prospects they could use some pop in therir line-up and he could DH and give Guerraro a blow every once in a while. I am only half joking. I also believe the Sox do not have him in their plans for next year. Nice K and inning.

Dye needs to do something here.

You know what would be funny, if one of the Braves people said, "Oh s*** we thought Andrew Jones was black, ah crap, well.................hey we can call up Willie Harris."
